The LG C3 (OLED) is very good for sports, while the Vizio Quantum Pro (LCD) is only fair.
The LG C3 (OLED) excels at watching sports due to its superior motion processing and response time which prevents motion blur, and its wide viewing angles ensure consistent picture quality across different seating positions; reflection handling is also top-notch to minimize distractions. On the other hand, while the Vizio Quantum Pro (LCD) is more affordable, its motion processing and response time are only fair, which might result in more motion blur during fast-paced sports, and its narrower viewing angles can lead to color shifts when viewed from the side.

The LG C3 (OLED) is very good for cartoons & animation, while the Vizio Quantum Pro (LCD) is good.
The LG C3 OLED has better colors straight out of the box and a wider color gamut, making it very good for watching cartoons and animation as these genres often feature vibrant colors and require high color fidelity. In comparison, the Vizio Quantum Pro LCD, while still offering a very good color gamut, doesn't perform as well initially with colors out of the box, making it just good for the same content.

The LG C3 (OLED) is excellent for news, talk, & other TV, while the Vizio Quantum Pro (LCD) is only fair.
The LG C3 OLED performs excellently when watching news, talk shows, and other TV programs due to its superior upscaling abilities and rich, accurate colors out of the box, which makes standard content look better. In contrast, the Vizio Quantum Pro LCD, while delivering good SDR brightness, may not handle upscaling as well and offers a lower quality of colors right out of the box, making it less ideal for those types of programming.
