The Samsung Q80B is a higher-priced option and offers better movement handling and screen brightness, which can be advantageous for watching sports and use in well-lit rooms. It also has a higher refresh rate, making it a better fit for gaming. On the other hand, the Vizio MQ6 '23 is more budget-friendly, but may not match the Samsung in terms of overall picture quality and motion performance, which can be noticeable when watching fast-moving content or in brighter environments. Both TVs support 4K resolution and are equipped with smart features, but the Samsung is likely to deliver a more premium viewing experience at a higher cost. Give Feedback

The Samsung Q80B (LCD) and Vizio MQ6 '23 (LCD) are both only fair for sports, though the Samsung Q80B (LCD) is somewhat better.
The Samsung Q80B's performance in watching sports is impacted by its average response time and its ability to handle motion well, although its reflection handling is just good and its viewing angles are fair, which can be limiting when watching with a group. Conversely, the Vizio MQ6 '23 offers a similar average response time and fair motion processing, but has very good reflection handling and fair viewing angles; while it improves on the former, its viewing experience for multiple viewers can still be limited due to the viewing angles.

The Samsung Q80B (LCD) is good for bright room, while the Vizio MQ6 '23 (LCD) is only fair.
The Samsung Q80B performs better in a bright room because it has a higher SDR and HDR brightness compared to the Vizio MQ6 '23, and while both handle reflections fairly well, the superior brightness of the Samsung helps maintain picture quality under strong lighting. Contrast, color volume, and color gamut are also important to consider, and while both TVs are good in these areas, the better brightness of the Samsung Q80B makes it more suitable for bright room viewing.

Tom's guide
Matthew Murray | February 2023
"For most people its picture, sound, and price make it a midrange TV worth considering. HDR brightness was generally exceptional. Its viewing angles are shockingly good, among the very best we’ve seen recently from any non-OLED TV. For gamers input lag isn’t too shabby."

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.
