The Samsung QN85B is generally a better choice if gaming performance or viewing in bright rooms is important to you. It has a higher gaming score and performs better in bright room conditions. It's also often less expensive than the Vizio model. However, the Vizio Quantum Pro could be more appealing if you are interested in newer technology, as it was released more recently. It supports advanced HDR formats such as Dolby Vision, which the Samsung does not, providing a potentially better viewing experience for movies and high-dynamic-range content. Both TVs have similar overall picture quality, motion processing, and sound quality, but the Samsung has a significantly lower price. Additionally, both models have a wide color gamut and color volume for vibrant picture quality, but the Vizio has a slightly higher score in these areas. Give Feedback

The Samsung QN85B (LCD) is good for movies & TV, while the Vizio Quantum Pro (LCD) is only fair.
The Samsung QN85B provides a better experience for movies and cinematic TV, thanks to its superior local dimming and black uniformity, which enhance contrast and darken scenes where necessary, while also demonstrating good colors out of the box and viewing angles. The Vizio Quantum Pro, although it offers fair performance with less effective local dimming and black uniformity, can still produce very good colors and gray uniformity but may fall short in dark-room viewing which is crucial for cinematic content.

The Samsung QN85B (LCD) is good for sports, while the Vizio Quantum Pro (LCD) is only fair.
The Samsung QN85B is better for watching sports due to its superior motion processing, which ensures smoother rendering of fast-moving scenes. Additionally, the Vizio Quantum Pro performs less impressively in this aspect, and its lower response time means it may not handle fast-paced sports action as crisply as the Samsung model.

The Samsung QN85B (LCD) is very good for news, talk, & other TV, while the Vizio Quantum Pro (LCD) is only fair.
The Samsung QN85B stands out for news and talk shows due to its excellent SDR brightness and very good upscaling, making it ideal for delivering clear images in diverse content quality and lighting conditions. On the other hand, the Vizio Quantum Pro, while offering very good SDR brightness, falls behind with merely fair upscaling and colors out of the box, which could affect image clarity and color accuracy for everyday content.

The Samsung QN85B (LCD) is excellent for bright room, while the Vizio Quantum Pro (LCD) is good.
The Samsung QN85B is excellent for watching TV in a bright room primarily because it has superior SDR and HDR brightness, which ensures a vibrant display even under bright lighting, and it handles reflections very well. In comparison, the Vizio Quantum Pro is only rated as good in these aspects; it has lower SDR and HDR brightness, which means it might not be as clear in well-lit environments, but it still manages reflections effectively.

Although they have very similar scores, PerfectRec considers Samsung QN85B (LCD) to be very good for cartoons & animation, while the Vizio Quantum Pro (LCD) is good.
The Samsung QN85B provides good colors right out of the box, an important factor for cartoons, and it has good color gamut and volume, which are crucial for vibrant and varied on-screen animations. On the other hand, the Vizio Quantum Pro also displays very good color gamut and color volume that make cartoons look great, but its out-of-the-box color settings are evaluated as fair, potentially requiring more adjustments for optimal cartoon viewing.

What Hi-Fi?
John Archer | February 2023
"Particularly key to this is the fact that black levels are unusually good, on a level we haven’t seen from any IPS TV before. Build quality is impressive too, with a gleaming silver metallic frame and stand, and enough heft to suggest plenty of quality innards. High dynamic range content jumps off the screen with enough luminosity and intensity to really sell what makes HDR special."

About Samsung
Samsung, a South Korean electronics manufacturer, holds the title of being the largest global TV vendor in terms of units sold. They offer a diverse lineup of TV products that cater to various budget ranges. A notable achievement in recent years is the development of Quantum Dots, a technology that enhances color reproduction, resulting in richer and more vibrant hues. 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. They manufacture TVs primarily in Mexico, China, and Vietnam. Similar to many Korean TV brands, Vizio developed its own smart TV software called SmartCast. In the past, SmartCast was not the best smart TV software, but it has evolved so that it is now good for using your TV and connecting to streaming services.
