The Samsung Q60C is more expensive, offers better quality in bright rooms and has higher quality sound. It's suited for gaming and general TV watching in well-lit environments. The Vizio V-Series costs less, but it's not as good in bright rooms and has a slightly inferior sound quality. If budget is a concern and sound quality isn't a top priority, the Vizio could be a good value, especially for watching movies and using it as a computer monitor. Give Feedback

The Samsung Q60C (LCD) and Vizio V-Series (LCD) are both good for cartoons & animation, though the Samsung Q60C (LCD) is somewhat better.
The Samsung Q60C is appreciated for its good colors right out of the box and color gamut, meaning it displays a wide range of vibrant colors which makes animated content pop. The Vizio V-Series, while offering very good colors out of the box that may enhance the liveliness of cartoons, has a more limited color gamut which might not capture the full spectrum of colors intended by the content creators.

The Samsung Q60C (LCD) and Vizio V-Series (LCD) are both only fair for news, talk, & other TV, though the Samsung Q60C (LCD) is somewhat better.
The Samsung Q60C has good SDR brightness, which helps maintain picture quality in well-lit rooms, and its upscaling ensures lower-resolution content looks clear, making it suitable for news and TV programs. In contrast, the Vizio V-Series, although it offers very good colors out of the box, falls short with poor SDR brightness which might result in a duller picture in bright rooms, while its upscaling is on par with the Samsung Q60C, ensuring detailed images from lower resolution sources.

The Samsung Q60C (LCD) is only fair for bright room, while the Vizio V-Series (LCD) is poor.
The Samsung Q60C performs better in a bright room because it has good SDR brightness and fair handling of reflections, whereas the Vizio V-Series struggles with poor SDR brightness and similarly fair reflection handling. Both TVs have poor HDR brightness, but the Samsung's higher SDR brightness provides an edge for daytime viewing.

The Samsung Q60C (LCD) and Vizio V-Series (LCD) are both only fair for sports.
The Samsung Q60C might not handle reflections as well and could have a slightly wider viewing angle compared to the Vizio V-Series, which can be important when watching sports with friends. However, both have similar response times and motion processing abilities, so neither will have a significant advantage in displaying fast-paced action cleanly, although the Samsung has a slight edge in these areas.

The Samsung Q60C (LCD) and Vizio V-Series (LCD) are both poor for gaming.
The Samsung Q60C and Vizio V-Series both have poor response times, which can lead to motion blur during fast-paced games, and although their input lag is rated as the best, which is beneficial for gaming responsiveness, their subpar response times can detract from the gaming experience. Additionally, both TVs have a standard refresh rate which is not optimal for high-frame-rate gaming that requires smoother motion.

"Vizio's cheapest 4K HDR TV packs in a lot for a low price. The voice control via the remote works well, about as well as Roku's version on devices that have it. So if you know your way around a TV menu, or want to be able to dial in the picture even on an inexpensive TV, the Vizio is the better choice"

About Samsung
Samsung, a South Korean electronics manufacturer, holds the title of being the largest global TV vendor in terms of units sold. They offer a diverse lineup of TV products that cater to various budget ranges. A notable achievement in recent years is the development of Quantum Dots, a technology that enhances color reproduction, resulting in richer and more vibrant hues. 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.
About Vizio
Vizio is an American company. While they initially gained recognition for offering budget-friendly TVs, they have successfully expanded their product lineup to include high-end options as well. They manufacture TVs primarily in Mexico, China, and Vietnam. Similar to many Korean TV brands, Vizio developed its own smart TV software called SmartCast. In the past, SmartCast was not the best smart TV software, but it has evolved so that it is now good for using your TV and connecting to streaming services.
