The Samsung QN90B (LCD) is good for sports, while the Vizio V-Series (LCD) is only fair.
The Samsung QN90B is better for watching sports due to its superior motion processing and reflections handling, offering a clearer picture during fast action and better visibility in bright rooms; however, its viewing angles are less accommodating than OLEDs. The Vizio V-Series, while more affordable, falls short in these areas, making it less suitable for a lively sports viewing experience, especially in well-lit environments or from wider angles.

The Samsung QN90B (LCD) is very good for gaming, while the Vizio V-Series (LCD) is poor.
The Samsung QN90B excels in gaming due to its very good response time and input lag, offering a smoother visual experience and quicker reaction times for gaming. The Vizio V-Series, on the other hand, has poor response time, which can lead to blurring during fast-moving games, and although it has a good input lag, its overall performance for gaming is hindered by a lower refresh rate compared to the Samsung QN90B.

The Samsung QN90B (LCD) is excellent for news, talk, & other TV, while the Vizio V-Series (LCD) is only fair.
The Samsung QN90B is better suited for watching news, talk shows, and other TV programs due to its excellent upscaling and SDR brightness, which enhances image clarity on lower resolution content and ensures the screen remains visible in bright rooms. The Vizio V-Series, while offering good colors out of the box, falls behind with its poorer upscaling and significantly lower SDR brightness, reducing its efficacy in bright environments and with lower quality sources.

"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."

"Vizio's cheapest 4K HDR TV packs in a lot for a low price. The voice control via the remote works well, about as well as Roku's version on devices that have it. So if you know your way around a TV menu, or want to be able to dial in the picture even on an inexpensive TV, the Vizio is the better choice"
