If you prioritize gaming and sports watching, the Samsung Q80C will deliver a better experience due to higher performance in those activities. However, the Vizio V-Series '22 is a more budget-friendly option and offers good picture quality for general viewing, though it's not as bright and has less effective local dimming compared to the Samsung Q80C, which means it may not perform as well in very bright rooms or with HDR content. The Samsung also has a better sound quality and is more suitable as a monitor due to its higher responsiveness. Give Feedback

The Samsung Q80C (LCD) and Vizio V-Series '22 (LCD) are both only fair for sports, though the Samsung Q80C (LCD) is somewhat better.
The Samsung Q80C's response time is excellent for sports, ensuring minimal motion blur; however, its poor reflection handling could be problematic in bright rooms.

The Samsung Q80C (LCD) is good for news, talk, & other TV, while the Vizio V-Series '22 (LCD) is poor.
The Samsung Q80C offers better upscaling of lower-resolution content and higher SDR brightness, which is essential for clearly displaying news and TV programs, especially in well-lit rooms. In contrast, the Vizio V-Series '22 falls short in these aspects, leading to less refined visuals for standard-definition content and a less vivid display in bright conditions.

Although they have very similar scores, PerfectRec considers Samsung Q80C (LCD) to be only fair for movies & TV, while the Vizio V-Series '22 (LCD) is poor.
The Samsung Q80C offers a fair movie and cinematic TV viewing experience, thanks to its local dimming feature, which supports better contrast and black uniformity, although it's not ideal with a score of 40 for black uniformity. In contrast, the Vizio V-Series '22 significantly underperforms as it lacks local dimming, leading to poor black uniformity (score of 75), and consequently, it is less suitable for movies, despite having a slightly better contrast ratio.

Although they have very similar scores, PerfectRec considers Samsung Q80C (LCD) to be good for cartoons & animation, while the Vizio V-Series '22 (LCD) is only fair.
The Samsung Q80C stands out for cartoons and animation because it provides good colors out of the box and a good color gamut, which means it can display a wide range of colors vividly without much tweaking. In comparison, the Vizio V-Series '22 is fair in the same content because, despite offering excellent colors out of the box, it has only a poor color gamut, which limits the range of colors it can display.
