Samsung Q60B (LCD) vs Vizio V-Series (LCD)

The Samsung Q60B excels in displaying cartoons and animation due to its excellent color accuracy right out of the box, ensuring vibrant and true-to-life hues, and a good color gamut, which provides a wide range of colors. In contrast, the Vizio V-Series also performs well with very good color accuracy out of the box, but its color gamut is not as extensive, meaning it may not display some colors as richly or vividly as the Samsung.

The Samsung Q60B has better upscaling and SDR brightness which are important for viewing news and TV programs in various resolutions and lighting conditions, whereas the Vizio V-Series is considered fair, likely due to its poorer upscaling and lower SDR brightness, which can affect the clarity and visibility of content. Additionally, the Samsung Q60B offers excellent colors out of the box, contributing to a more vibrant and accurate image right away, but the Vizio V-Series, while having a very good color out of the box, doesn't support as wide a color gamut or local dimming and has lower contrast that can make the picture appear less dynamic.

The Samsung Q60B provides better performance in a bright room due to its higher SDR and HDR brightness and more effective reflection handling, which ensures a clearer picture despite room lighting conditions. In contrast, the Vizio V-Series struggles with lower SDR and HDR brightness and comparable reflection handling, making it less suitable for well-lit environments.

The Samsung Q60B provides better colors out of the box, which contributes to a more vibrant viewing experience for movies and cinematic TV, but its lack of local dimming and only fair black uniformity can lead to less impressive dark scene portrayal. The Vizio V-Series, on the other hand, exhibits better contrast and black uniformity for deep black levels, essential for movies, but falls short with colors out of the box and color volume, which means the range of colors might not be as rich or vivid.

The Samsung Q60B has a fair performance for motion processing and reflections handling but a poor response time for sports viewing, while the Vizio V-Series also has fair reflection handling but even lower motion processing capabilities and similarly poor response time, with both having narrow viewing angles that affect the visibility from different positions in the room.

The Samsung Q60B and the Vizio V-Series are both considered poor for gaming due to their performance in key gaming metrics. While the Vizio V-Series exhibits very good input lag, helpful for timely response to controls, it falls short on response time, which affects how quickly pixels can change color, leading to motion blur during fast-paced games. The Samsung Q60B, although it offers best-ranked input lag, ensuring minimal delay between user input and on-screen reaction, also has poor response time, resulting in a similar issue with motion clarity. Both TVs also have a standard 60Hz refresh rate, which can limit the smoothness of gameplay compared to TVs with higher rates.
