The LG G1 (OLED) is a high-end TV that typically costs more, but it offers excellent overall picture quality and is particularly good for gaming, due to its high gaming score. It performs very well in dark rooms, though not as well in bright rooms. The G1's OLED technology provides perfect black uniformity and wide viewing angles but may not be as bright as some LCD TVs. It supports Dolby Vision and Dolby Atmos for enhanced audio-visual experience. On the other hand, the Vizio P-Series (LCD) is a midrange-priced TV and is typically much less expensive. It still provides good picture quality and is better in bright rooms than the G1. However, it's not rated as highly for sports content and the viewing angles are narrower compared to the G1 due to its LCD technology, which might matter if you often watch TV from different positions around the room. It does not support Dolby Vision and does not have great speakers built-in. So, if spending more for superior gaming performance, wider viewing angles, and better performance in dark rooms is important to you, and you want features like Dolby Vision and Atmos, the LG G1 would be a great choice. However, if you prefer to save money and need a TV that performs well in bright rooms, the Vizio P-Series would be a good choice, albeit with limitations in viewing angles and sports content quality.

The LG G1 (OLED) is very good for sports, while the Vizio P-Series (LCD) is only fair.
The LG G1 excels in sports viewing due to its superb response time, wide viewing angles, and excellent handling of reflections, which all contribute to clear and consistent visuals during fast action. In contrast, the Vizio P-Series has a fair response time and narrower viewing angles, making it less ideal for watching sports, especially with multiple viewers spread out or in a bright room where reflections are more pronounced.

The LG G1 (OLED) is very good for news, talk, & other TV, while the Vizio P-Series (LCD) is good.
The LG G1 OLED provides excellent upscaling and good SDR brightness, alongside its innate ability for perfect blacks and higher contrast that makes it outstanding for watching news and TV programs in various lighting conditions. In comparison, the Vizio P-Series LCD, while offering very good SDR brightness which is beneficial in bright rooms, has lower performance in upscaling and lower contrast due to its different screen technology, which may not deliver the same depth in picture quality for similar content.

The LG G1 (OLED) and Vizio P-Series (LCD) are both very good for cartoons & animation.
The LG G1, being an OLED TV, offers very good colors straight out of the box and a very good color gamut which are invaluable for watching cartoons and animation, providing vivid and accurate colors. The Vizio P-Series also delivers very good performance in terms of colors out of the box and color gamut, making it a strong competitor, especially considering it may come at a lower price point than the OLED but with a compromise on the perfect blacks and viewing angles provided by the LG G1.

Tom's guide
Brian Westover | October 2021
"We were even more pleased to see that performance had improved across the board, with the display offering better color, brightness, and shorter lag times than the already excellent Roku model. Color accuracy was great right out of the box. The TCL 5-Series Google TV becomes a great option for demanding gamers."
