The Samsung Q70A might be a better option for you if you're looking for a television that is often less expensive and performs well for gaming, with slightly higher performance in a bright room. However, it doesn't fare as well in dark room conditions. On the other hand, the Vizio Quantum Pro is a bit more pricey but offers a somewhat better dark room performance and superior HDR brightness, which could enhance your movie-watching experience. It also supports more HDR formats, including Dolby Vision, which could be a deciding factor if you consume a lot of HDR content. However, it has a lower score for sports content, so it may not be the best choice if you watch a lot of fast-paced sports. Give Feedback

The Samsung Q70A (LCD) is very good for cartoons & animation, while the Vizio Quantum Pro (LCD) is good.
The Samsung Q70A (LCD) delivers more accurate colors straight out of the box compared to the Vizio Quantum Pro (LCD), which may be crucial for the vibrant palettes typically seen in cartoons and animation. Despite this, the Vizio Quantum Pro (LCD) covers a very good color volume which enhances the full spectrum of colors in vibrant content, though not as accurately as the Samsung Q70A without adjustment.

The Samsung Q70A (LCD) is good for news, talk, & other TV, while the Vizio Quantum Pro (LCD) is only fair.
The Samsung Q70A is preferred for watching news, talk shows, and TV programs due to its superior upscaling of lower resolution content and more accurate colors straight out of the box, which enhances the overall viewing experience. In comparison, the Vizio Quantum Pro, while offering very good SDR brightness similar to the Samsung, lacks the same level of performance in upscaling and color accuracy out of the box, leading to a potentially less ideal experience for these types of content.

The Vizio Quantum Pro (LCD) and Samsung Q70A (LCD) are both only fair for movies & TV.
The Samsung Q70A has excellent black uniformity, helping it produce deep blacks for movies and cinematic content, but lacks local dimming which can limit its contrast effectiveness. The Vizio Quantum Pro has weaker black uniformity, which affects its ability to display true blacks in dark scenes, but it benefits from local dimming to enhance contrast; however, both TVs have only fair gray uniformity and viewing angles which may impact the overall picture quality when watching from an angle or during scenes with uniform color.

The Samsung Q70A (LCD) and Vizio Quantum Pro (LCD) are both only fair for sports.
The Samsung Q70A has a very good response time, which is beneficial for fast-moving sports content, but its reflections handling is poor, reducing visibility in bright rooms. Conversely, the Vizio Quantum Pro also offers a very good response time but excels with very good reflections handling, making it a better choice for well-lit environments; however, it has wider viewing angles, which could reduce contrast from off-center viewing positions.

Although they have very similar scores, PerfectRec considers Vizio Quantum Pro (LCD) to be very good for gaming, while the Samsung Q70A (LCD) is good.
The Samsung Q70A excels in gaming due to its superior input lag, making it highly responsive for gamers who need quick reaction times. Meanwhile, the Vizio Quantum Pro, with a very good response time and a refresh rate of 120Hz, provides smooth motion but isn't as quick in processing game inputs as the Samsung.

The Vizio Quantum Pro (LCD) and Samsung Q70A (LCD) are both good for bright room.
The Samsung Q70A offers substantial brightness in both standard and high dynamic range content with less effective reflections handling, and the Vizio Quantum Pro also delivers strong brightness levels while being better at minimizing reflections, making it more suitable for well-lit environments. Although the Samsung has strong contrast which is very important, the Vizio excels with a better color gamut and volume, contributing to a richer viewing experience in various lighting conditions.
