The Samsung Q60C (LCD) and Vizio MQ6 '23 (LCD) are both only fair for sports.
The Samsung Q60C has a superior response time which is crucial for fast-moving sports scenes, but its viewing angles are limited, making it less ideal for group viewing. Conversely, the Vizio MQ6 '23 handles reflections better, ensuring clearer images in bright rooms, but falls short with a slower response time, which might result in more motion blur during sports.

Although they have very similar scores, PerfectRec considers Vizio MQ6 '23 (LCD) to be good for news, talk, & other TV, while the Samsung Q60C (LCD) is only fair.
The Vizio MQ6 '23 is better for watching news and TV programs because it has better color representation straight out of the box and a higher contrast which can bolster the visual experience. The Samsung Q60C, while offering fair performance with upscaling and SDR brightness, doesn't excel in color accuracy and contrast as much as the Vizio, making it less ideal for those particular viewing conditions.

The Samsung Q60C manages reflections well but has only fair SDR and HDR brightness, affecting its performance in bright rooms despite its good color features. The Vizio MQ6 '23 ultimately faces similar issues with fair management of reflections and brightness, which is why it also ranks fair for bright room viewing, although it does have better contrast and color volume than the Samsung Q60C.
