If you're looking for a TV with better overall picture quality, the Samsung QN90C is a superior choice with high performance in both dark and bright rooms, making it versatile for various lighting conditions. It also has better gaming capabilities, which is excellent if you play video games, and it offers excellent reflection handling for rooms with lots of light. However, this comes at a premium price. On the other hand, the Vizio MQ6 '23 is much more budget-friendly and still provides decent picture quality and performance in both dark and bright rooms. While it's not as strong as the Samsung in terms of picture quality or gaming, it offers good value for money. The Vizio has fewer HDMI ports and doesn't have great speakers like the Samsung QN90C. If cost is a significant factor for you, and if gaming is not a priority, the Vizio might be the right choice. Give Feedback

The Samsung QN90C (LCD) is very good for movies & TV, while the Vizio MQ6 '23 (LCD) is good.
The Samsung QN90C is very good for movies and cinematic TV due to its higher contrast, effective local dimming, and strong black uniformity, all of which boost picture quality in dark scenes, accompanied by vibrant colors out of the box and ample color volume. The Vizio MQ6 '23 is good for similar content as it also has good contrast and black uniformity, but it trails behind with its color performance slightly less refined and smaller viewing angles which might affect groups watching together.

The Samsung QN90C (LCD) is good for sports, while the Vizio MQ6 '23 (LCD) is only fair.
The Samsung QN90C offers better motion processing and reflections handling, making it more suitable for watching sports as fast-paced scenes appear smoother and it's more watchable in bright rooms. Conversely, the Vizio MQ6 '23 has narrower viewing angles and slower response time, which can result in motion blur and make it harder to view the screen from the side during sports games.
