The Samsung QN90B is a premium-priced TV with higher picture quality, brighter screen, better performance in both dark and bright rooms, and better gaming capabilities compared to the Vizio Quantum Pro. It has great speakers and a higher refresh rate, which is beneficial for fast-moving content like sports and gaming. However, it costs significantly more than the Vizio.
The Vizio Quantum Pro is less expensive and still offers good picture quality, HDR support, and can be used comfortably in bright rooms. It is not as well-suited for dark room viewing or high-end gaming due to lower brightness and contrast. Additionally, it has a lower refresh rate, which may affect fast-paced content and gaming.
If you prioritize high picture quality and gaming and are willing to pay more, go for the Samsung. If you're looking for value and decent performance in most scenarios at a lower price, consider the Vizio. Give Feedback

The Samsung QN90B (LCD) is very good for movies & TV, while the Vizio Quantum Pro (LCD) is only fair.
The Samsung QN90B boasts superior contrast, local dimming, and black uniformity, which are crucial for watching movies and creating deeper blacks and more detailed shadows, leading to a better cinematic experience. On the other hand, the Vizio Quantum Pro, while having decent color volume and gray uniformity, falls short in these critical areas, especially black uniformity, diminishing its ability to provide the same level of movie and TV viewing immersion.

The Samsung QN90B (LCD) is excellent for news, talk, & other TV, while the Vizio Quantum Pro (LCD) is only fair.
The Samsung QN90B excels in upscaling lower-resolution content and producing bright, vivid images in standard dynamic range (SDR), making it a solid choice for watching news and talk shows where these features are very important. In contrast, the Vizio Quantum Pro is considered fair for such content, likely due to its comparatively lower performance in upscaling and SDR brightness, which detracts from its ability to provide an equally crisp and vibrant viewing experience in a typical bright room setting.
