The Samsung Q60C is less expensive and offers good performance for gaming and bright room viewing, but its dark room viewing is not as strong. The Vizio Quantum Pro costs more, but it provides superior overall picture quality, bright room performance, and gaming experience. Both TVs should handle movies, news, and cartoons well. If cost is a major concern and you mostly watch TV in bright rooms, the Samsung Q60C could serve you well. If you're looking for better quality and gaming experience and don't mind paying extra, the Vizio Quantum Pro would be a better option. Give Feedback

The Vizio Quantum Pro (LCD) is only fair for movies & TV, while the Samsung Q60C (LCD) is poor.
The Samsung Q60C struggles with movies and cinematic TV due to its poor local dimming and very low black uniformity, meaning it can't display deep blacks well, which are critical for a good movie-watching experience. In contrast, the Vizio Quantum Pro offers fair performance with better local dimming and significantly better black uniformity, resulting in more consistent contrast and darker tones that enhance cinematic content.

The Vizio Quantum Pro (LCD) is very good for gaming, while the Samsung Q60C (LCD) is poor.
The Samsung Q60C has poor response time, which can result in motion blur during fast-paced games, though it has low input lag which is beneficial for responsiveness in gaming. On the other hand, the Vizio Quantum Pro offers very good response time, minimizing motion blur, but its input lag is only good, not on par with the Samsung, possibly affecting fast-twitch gaming performance less favorably.

The Samsung Q60C (LCD) and Vizio Quantum Pro (LCD) are both only fair for sports.
For watching sports, the Samsung Q60C and the Vizio Quantum Pro both have their own set of strengths and weaknesses: the Samsung Q60C has poor response time, which might result in more motion blur during fast scenes, but it has better reflection handling than the Vizio, making it more suitable for rooms with some lights on. On the other hand, the Vizio Quantum Pro offers a very good response time, reducing motion blur, and it has a very good viewing angle, which means viewers can watch from different positions without losing image quality, but it doesn't handle reflections as well as the Samsung.

The Vizio Quantum Pro (LCD) and Samsung Q60C (LCD) are both good for cartoons & animation.
The Samsung Q60C is appreciated for cartoons and animation because it has good colors out of the box and a good color gamut, rendering vibrant hues without the need for calibration. The Vizio Quantum Pro also performs well with animation due to its good gray uniformity and very good color volume and color gamut, meaning it can display a wide range of colors effectively, which is key for animated content.

The Samsung Q60C (LCD) and Vizio Quantum Pro (LCD) are both only fair for news, talk, & other TV.
The Samsung Q60C delivers good SDR brightness and upscaling, which is important for clear viewing in bright rooms and when watching lower-resolution content, but its local dimming is rated poorly, affecting contrast in darker scenes. The Vizio Quantum Pro has very good SDR brightness and better local dimming, enhancing contrast for TV programs, but its upscaling is not as effective as Samsung's, which could affect the clarity of non-HD channels.
