The Vizio P-Series (LCD) is good for movies & TV, while the Samsung Q60A (LCD) is only fair.
The Vizio P-Series stands out when watching movies and cinematic TV due to its high contrast ratio, effective local dimming, and superior black uniformity, which are vital for deep blacks and shadow details in dark scenes. Conversely, the Samsung Q60A, while satisfactory, has a lower contrast ratio with less advanced local dimming and worse black uniformity, resulting in less impressive dark scene performance.

The Vizio P-Series (LCD) is good for gaming, while the Samsung Q60A (LCD) is poor.
The Samsung Q60A has a poor response time which can cause motion blur during fast-paced games, and despite its low input lag, it only supports a refresh rate of 60Hz, which limits the smoothness of gameplay. In contrast, the Vizio P-Series offers a fair response time and good input lag, and with its 120Hz refresh rate, it provides a smoother gaming experience with less motion blur and enhanced ability to handle quick on-screen actions.

The Vizio P-Series (LCD) is very good for bright room, while the Samsung Q60A (LCD) is good.

"The least expensive QLED is a solid choice for Samsung fans. Right out of the gate my eye was drawn to the Samsung. It is bright. The quantum dots let the Q60A produce far deeper, richer colors than the Vizio and TCL"

"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."

Samsung TVs are well-regarded for their high manufacturing quality and user-friendly software, making them an excellent choice for consumers seeking an intuitive viewing experience.
