The Samsung QN90B, though more expensive, offers superior overall picture quality, better gaming experience, and higher performance in both dark and bright rooms compared to the Vizio P-Series. It also has great built-in speakers, which might save you from needing an external sound system. On the other hand, the Vizio P-Series is less expensive and still delivers good picture quality, including excellent contrast. However, its performance in a bright room, as well as its gaming capabilities, are not as strong as the Samsung's. It doesn't come with great speakers, so an external sound system might be necessary for a better audio experience. Give Feedback

The Samsung QN90B (LCD) is excellent for news, talk, & other TV, while the Vizio P-Series (LCD) is good.
The Samsung QN90B outperforms the Vizio P-Series in upscaling lower resolution content, making it excellent for watching news and talk shows that may not always broadcast in high definition, while the Vizio still does a good job but with less clarity in upscaling. Additionally, the QN90B's superior SDR brightness enhances daytime viewing in bright rooms, and while both TVs have good color production out of the box and local dimming features, the Samsung provides a slightly better contrast and color gamut, making the viewing experience more vivid.

The Samsung QN90B outperforms the Vizio P-Series for viewing in bright rooms primarily due to its superior reflection handling and higher brightness capabilities in both SDR and HDR content. While the Vizio P-Series offers commendable brightness levels and good reflection handling suitable for bright rooms, it cannot match the Samsung's overall excellence in these crucial very important aspects, though it does have a slightly higher contrast which could be beneficial in dark room settings.

Although they have very similar scores, PerfectRec considers Samsung QN90B (LCD) to be very good for movies & TV, while the Vizio P-Series (LCD) is good.
The Samsung QN90B is very good for watching movies and cinematic TV as it offers excellent local dimming and color volume, which enhance contrast and color quality, making images pop, and its miniLED technology helps maintain good black uniformity and a wide viewing angle. On the other hand, the Vizio P-Series, while good for movies and cinematic TV, has a higher contrast ratio but poorer viewing angles, and its traditional LED technology may not match the Samsung's black levels and dimming precision, affecting the overall viewing experience in dark scenes or when viewed from the side.

Michael Desjardin | October 2022
"The QN90B delivers one of the brightest pictures we’ve ever seen, showcasing HDR content better than just about every LCD/LED TV on the market. If all you’re planning on doing is watching cable TV, broadcast channels, and a fair share of streaming shows or movies, the QN90B is sure to impress. All four of the QN90B’s HDMI 2.1 ports support 4K gaming at 120fps a centerpiece feature of the Xbox Series X and PlayStation 5."

"We were even more pleased to see that performance had improved across the board, with the display offering better color, brightness, and shorter lag times than the already excellent Roku model. Color accuracy was great right out of the box. The TCL 5-Series Google TV becomes a great option for demanding gamers."
