The Samsung Q80C offers a strong gaming experience and is typically less expensive than the Vizio Quantum Pro. It performs well in bright rooms and offers better color performance right out of the box. The Vizio Quantum Pro, on the other hand, has better overall picture quality and superior sound quality. However, it's more expensive and less suited for gaming due to lower input lag performance. Both TVs have similar support for HDR formats but do not support HDR10+. If you regularly watch movies and want higher sound quality, Vizio could be better, but if gaming and cost are priorities, the Samsung is more suitable. Give Feedback

The Samsung Q80C (LCD) is good for news, talk, & other TV, while the Vizio Quantum Pro (LCD) is only fair.
The Samsung Q80C outperforms the Vizio Quantum Pro in upscaling, which enhances the picture quality of lower-resolution content commonly found in news and talk shows, and delivers very good SDR brightness to maintain clarity in various lighting conditions. In comparison, the Vizio Quantum Pro offers fair performance in upscaling, which might result in less clarity for lower-resolution content and though it has a very good SDR brightness similar to the Samsung, other attributes like colors out of the box and motion processing aren't as well-executed.

The Vizio Quantum Pro (LCD) and Samsung Q80C (LCD) are both only fair for movies & TV.
For watching movies and cinematic TV, the Samsung Q80C performs moderately with its contrast, local dimming, and black uniformity, which impact the depth of black levels and detail in dark scenes, yet it has a wider viewing angle which could be beneficial in a room with viewers spread out. The Vizio Quantum Pro offers slightly better black uniformity and local dimming, which enhances night-time viewing and scene detail, but its viewing angles are more limited, affecting off-angle picture quality.

The Samsung Q80C (LCD) and Vizio Quantum Pro (LCD) are both only fair for sports.
The Samsung Q80C has better motion processing and viewing angles which can make fast-paced sports look smoother and easier to watch from different positions in the room; however, it has poorer reflection handling, potentially making it less suitable in bright rooms. The Vizio Quantum Pro has very good reflection handling which is great for bright rooms, but its motion processing is not as strong, possibly resulting in less smooth action during fast-moving sports. Both TVs are similarly graded in terms of gray uniformity which affects the presentation of sports fields and courts.
