The Samsung Q70A offers a better gaming experience due to its higher performance in that area, and it handles reflections better, making it more suited for brighter rooms. However, it comes at a midrange price that is much higher than the Vizio MQ6 '23. The Vizio MQ6 '23, on the other hand, is more affordable, has good performance for movies and series, and supports more HDR formats, including Dolby Vision. It has a lower gaming performance compared to the Samsung Q70A and isn't as well-suited for bright rooms due to its lower reflections handling capability. If budget is a concern and you're focused on movies and diverse HDR content, the Vizio MQ6 '23 could be the better choice. If you're willing to invest more for a superior gaming experience and performance in bright rooms, the Samsung Q70A is the way to go. Give Feedback

The Vizio MQ6 '23 (LCD) is good for movies & TV, while the Samsung Q70A (LCD) is only fair.
The Vizio MQ6 '23 is rated higher for watching movies and cinematic TV than the Samsung Q70A because the Vizio has superior black uniformity, which is crucial for deeper blacks and contrast in dark scenes, and it is also rated better for 'Colors Out of the Box', indicating it displays accurate colors without the need for calibration. While the Samsung Q70A has a higher contrast ratio, which is also important for a good movie-watching experience, its lower black uniformity and colors out of the box ratings mean it may not provide as consistent or true-to-life images as the Vizio.

The Samsung Q70A (LCD) is good for gaming, while the Vizio MQ6 '23 (LCD) is only fair.
The Samsung Q70A is better suited for gaming due to its very good response time and best input lag performance, while the Vizio MQ6 '23 has only fair response time and very good input lag, making it less optimal for fast-paced games where quick screen transitions and lower input lag are crucial. The Samsung also has a higher refresh rate which is important for smoother gameplay, especially in action-packed gaming scenarios.

The Samsung Q70A (LCD) is very good for cartoons & animation, while the Vizio MQ6 '23 (LCD) is good.
The Samsung Q70A is very good for watching cartoons and animation because it exhibits vibrant colors right out of the box and an expansive color gamut, essential for animated content. In contrast, the Vizio MQ6 '23, while still offering a solid performance with very good color gamut, doesn't quite match the Samsung in terms of initial color accuracy and color volume, which affects its ability to display as rich and consistent colors.

The Samsung Q70A (LCD) and Vizio MQ6 '23 (LCD) are both good for news, talk, & other TV, though the Samsung Q70A (LCD) is somewhat better.
The Samsung Q70A is good for watching news and talk shows due to its very good upscaling capabilities and higher SDR brightness, which means non-HD content is displayed clearly and the screen is bright enough for most rooms. On the other hand, the Vizio MQ6 '23, while also good in this regard, offers slightly weaker upscaling and less SDR brightness, but it provides a very good color gamut out of the box which is essential for vibrant and true-to-life colors.

The Samsung Q70A (LCD) is good for bright room, while the Vizio MQ6 '23 (LCD) is only fair.
The Samsung Q70A excels in a bright room due to its better SDR and HDR brightness, which helps maintain picture quality in well-lit environments, but it has poor handling of reflections which could be bothersome in a room with direct light sources. The Vizio MQ6 '23, though it has good SDR brightness for a fair performance in bright rooms, struggles with HDR content and manages reflections slightly better but not as effectively as other models designed for bright room usage.

The Samsung Q70A (LCD) and Vizio MQ6 '23 (LCD) are both only fair for sports.
The Samsung Q70A handles motion better and has faster response times, which is crucial for watching fast-paced sports, but its reflections handling is poor, making it less suited for very bright rooms. The Vizio MQ6 '23, while offering fair motion processing and response time, handles reflections slightly better, yet it still has limited viewing angles, affecting the view from the side during group sports viewing.
