Opting for the Samsung Frame Series may appeal to those seeking a television that blends with home decor, as it showcases art when not in use and must be wall-mounted, possibly adding elegance to your space at a premium price. On the other hand, the Vizio P-Series, with a more affordable price tag, may save you money and delivers excellent picture quality for movies and gaming. However, it may struggle more in bright rooms compared to the Samsung. If a sunny room is a frequent viewing environment, Samsung Frame's brighter display might be preferable despite the higher cost.

The Vizio P-Series (LCD) is good for movies & TV, while the Samsung Frame Series (LCD) is only fair.
The Samsung Frame Series offers weaker local dimming performance which affects contrast and black uniformity, resulting in a less ideal movie-watching experience compared to the Vizio P-Series, which has a higher local dimming and black uniformity score, crucial for deep blacks and contrast in cinematic content. Additionally, while the Samsung Frame has better colors out of the box, the Vizio P-Series's stronger color volume and gray uniformity contribute to its superior handling of movie and cinematic TV content.

The Vizio P-Series (LCD) is very good for bright room, while the Samsung Frame Series (LCD) is good.
The Samsung Frame Series delivers good performance in a bright room, with its decent handling of reflections and brightness, but the Vizio P-Series is rated higher for bright room viewing due to its very good reflection handling and higher brightness in both SDR and HDR content. While both TVs offer good color volume and gamut which influence picture quality, the Vizio's superior ability to combat glare and maintain picture visibility under bright lighting gives it an edge in well-lit environments.

The Samsung Frame Series (LCD) and Vizio P-Series (LCD) are both only fair for sports.
The Samsung Frame Series and the Vizio P-Series both have fair performance for watching sports, which can be attributed to their motion processing abilities, with neither excelling in providing the smoothest experience for fast-moving content. Moreover, while both handle reflections decently, their moderate viewing angles could limit the view for groups spread out across a room, and the Samsung outperforms the Vizio slightly in response time, which means it can render fast-moving images with marginally less blur.

The Samsung Frame Series (LCD) and Vizio P-Series (LCD) are both good for news, talk, & other TV.
The Samsung Frame Series excels in upscaling lower resolution content and has good color accuracy straight out of the box, making it suitable for watching standard definition news and talk shows.

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."
