If you prioritize a premium viewing experience, especially for gaming and movies in both bright and dark environments, and are willing to spend more, the Samsung QN90A is an excellent choice, as it offers superior picture quality, higher peak brightness, and better reflection handling. On the other hand, if you are looking for a more budget-friendly option, the Vizio Quantum Pro is considerably less expensive and still provides good picture quality overall, albeit with lower peak brightness and reflection handling which may affect viewing in well-lit rooms. Keep in mind that the Vizio model also has less advanced gaming features compared to the Samsung. Give Feedback

The Samsung QN90A (LCD) is very good for movies & TV, while the Vizio Quantum Pro (LCD) is only fair.
The Samsung QN90A delivers superior movie and cinematic TV viewing largely due to its excellent contrast and black uniformity, enhanced by its miniLED technology which allows for exceptional local dimming. On the other hand, the Vizio Quantum Pro falls short with fair performance in movies and cinematic TV as its IPS screen struggles with black uniformity and contrast despite having good local dimming, resulting in less impressive dark scene reproduction.

The Samsung QN90A (LCD) is good for sports, while the Vizio Quantum Pro (LCD) is only fair.
The Samsung QN90A is considered good for watching sports due to its very good response time and excellent performance in handling reflections, which enhances motion clarity and reduces distractions from light sources. In contrast, the Vizio Quantum Pro, while having better viewing angles that maintain image accuracy at various positions, falls short in motion processing and has a lower reflections handling performance, resulting in less clarity during fast-paced scenes and potential issues with glare.

The Samsung QN90A (LCD) is very good for cartoons & animation, while the Vizio Quantum Pro (LCD) is good.
The Samsung QN90A delivers vibrant and accurate colors right out the box, which is crucial for enjoying animated content, and it also has a good color gamut allowing for a wide range of colors. In comparison, the Vizio Quantum Pro, while having a very good color gamut, doesn't perform as well right out the box with colors, which might affect the initial viewing experience of cartoons and animations.

The Samsung QN90A (LCD) is very good for news, talk, & other TV, while the Vizio Quantum Pro (LCD) is only fair.
The Samsung QN90A excels in upscaling and SDR brightness, ensuring that lower resolution content from news and talk shows looks sharp and is bright enough for clear viewing, coupled with its outstanding colors right out of the box. In contrast, while the Vizio Quantum Pro offers respectable SDR brightness, its upscaling capabilities and colors out of the box do not match the Samsung's level, which might result in less sharp images and less accurate colors when viewing such content.

The Samsung QN90A (LCD) is best in class for bright room, while the Vizio Quantum Pro (LCD) is good.
The Samsung QN90A excels in both SDR and HDR brightness and has excellent reflection handling, making it a superior choice for bright rooms. Although the Vizio Quantum Pro performs well in bright settings, its SDR and HDR brightness are lower and it's not as good at handling reflections as the Samsung, affecting its performance in well-lit environments.
