The Samsung Q60B, being less expensive, might be a good choice if you're on a budget and primarily watch news and TV shows in a well-lit room. However, for a better movie-watching and gaming experience, including darker scenes with more depth, the Vizio P-Series often provides superior contrast and color accuracy, although it is pricier. If you frequently watch sports or other fast-action content, the Samsung Q60B might be less effective at handling motion blur than the Vizio P-Series. When making your decision, consider what you watch most and whether the viewing environment is typically bright or dim. Give Feedback

The Vizio P-Series (LCD) is good for movies & TV, while the Samsung Q60B (LCD) is only fair.
The Vizio P-Series excels in movies and cinematic TV due to superior local dimming, contributing to better contrast and black uniformity, which enhances dark scene performance, while the Samsung Q60B lacks in local dimming, affecting its performance in these areas. Although the Samsung Q60B has slightly better gray uniformity which helps with solid color scenes, the Vizio's overall better handling of contrast, black levels, and color reproduction are likely to offer a more immersive viewing experience for cinematic content.

The Vizio P-Series (LCD) is good for gaming, while the Samsung Q60B (LCD) is poor.
The Samsung Q60B has superior input lag making it very responsive in gaming situations, but it is hindered by a poor response time, which can lead to motion blur. In contrast, the Vizio P-Series may not match the Samsung’s input lag but offers better response time, resulting in smoother motion, making it more suitable for fast-paced gaming.

The Vizio P-Series (LCD) is very good for bright room, while the Samsung Q60B (LCD) is good.
The Samsung Q60B is marked as having "very good" SDR brightness but it falls short in handling reflections, making it less suitable than the Vizio P-Series for bright rooms; the latter shows "very good" performance in both SDR brightness and reflection handling, and is thereby more capable in sunny environments. Contrast and color quality are important too, and while both TVs have similar "very good" contrasts, the Vizio edges ahead with its color volume and gamut, offering a punchier image for diverse content.

The Samsung Q60B (LCD) has a price of $848 and the Vizio P-Series (LCD) costs $998.
The Vizio P-Series (LCD) and Samsung Q60B (LCD) are both only fair for sports.
The Samsung Q60B has a poor response time which may cause motion blur during fast-paced sports, and its poor viewing angle can make it less ideal for group viewing. Conversely, the Vizio P-Series also has a fair response time, which isn't the best for fast-moving content, and while it handles reflections very well, its viewing angle is similarly not wide, potentially limiting the view for off-angle viewers.

The Samsung Q60B (LCD) and Vizio P-Series (LCD) are both good for news, talk, & other TV.
The Samsung Q60B excels in upscaling lower-resolution content and displays colors accurately right out of the box, ideal for consistent picture quality while watching news and TV programs. In contrast, the Vizio P-Series offers better SDR brightness, color gamut, and local dimming features that enhance the picture in various lighting conditions but its upscaling is not as strong as that of the Samsung Q60B.

How the Samsung Q60B (LCD) and the Vizio P-Series (LCD) compare to other TVs
"Samsung's 2022 QLED workhorse shines in bright rooms and with HDR. The Samsung Q60B stands out from the slew of entry-level TVs with an ultra-thin frame, a skinny profile from the side and even narrow stand legs. The Q60B is a very good bright-room TV, and my subjective impression of its ample light output was proven by measurements."
"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."
