Samsung QN95B (LCD) vs Vizio MQ6 '23 (LCD)

The Samsung QN95B is extremely suitable for movie enthusiasts due to its exceptional contrast, effective local dimming, and strong black uniformity which enhance the depth and the detail of dark scenes, while it also offers vibrant colors that pop, contributing to an immersive cinematic experience. Although the Vizio MQ6 '23 also provides good performance with high black uniformity that is crucial for watching movies, it compromises with lesser contrast and local dimming capabilities, which might not render dark scenes as richly as the Samsung, and it may display colors with less volume, making its picture quality less engaging in comparison.

The Samsung QN95B is rated higher for watching sports than the Vizio MQ6 '23 mainly due to its superior motion processing and reflections handling which are very important for sports viewing; it also has better response time and wider viewing angles that contribute to a more consistent image when viewed from different positions. Conversely, the Vizio MQ6 '23, despite its fair performance, struggles with motion processing and reflections handling, has a narrower viewing angle which makes it less ideal for group viewing, and a slower response time that can affect fast-paced sports clarity.

The Samsung QN95B excels in gaming due to its excellent response time and best-in-class input lag, meaning it reacts quickly to inputs and provides smoother transitions. In contrast, the Vizio MQ6 '23, while still delivering very good input lag, has only a fair response time, leading to slower transitions on-screen, which can be less optimal for fast-paced gaming.

The Samsung QN95B is particularly excellent for watching cartoons and animation due to its best out-of-the-box colors which require minimal adjustments for vibrant and accurate depiction, along with a very good color gamut ensuring a wide range of colors is displayed. In contrast, the Vizio MQ6 '23, while still good, does not match the Samsung QN95B in terms of initial color accuracy or color range, but is still competent in these areas for a satisfactory viewing experience.

The Samsung QN95B excels in upscaling lower resolution content and has higher SDR brightness, which enhances the clarity and visibility of news and talk shows, especially in brighter rooms. On the other hand, the Vizio MQ6 '23 offers decent performance in the same areas but with a slightly lower capability to brighten the screen and less effective upscaling, which could make standard definition content appear less sharp.
