The Samsung S90C offers superior picture quality, especially for gaming and watching movies in darker settings. It also has a wider viewing angle and higher performance in bright rooms compared to the Vizio V-Series '22. However, the Samsung S90C comes with a premium price tag.
On the other hand, the Vizio V-Series '22 is more budget-friendly, but its overall picture quality and performance in both dark and bright rooms are not as good as the Samsung S90C. It also has a lower gaming performance.
For discerning viewers and avid gamers who can invest more, the Samsung S90C would be a better choice. If you have budget constraints and need a decent TV for mixed usage, the Vizio V-Series '22 could suffice. Keep in mind that neither TV has great built-in speakers, so you might consider a separate sound system for better audio. Give Feedback

The Samsung S90C (OLED) is very good for sports, while the Vizio V-Series '22 (LCD) is only fair.
The Samsung S90C (OLED) is better for watching sports because it has excellent motion processing and reflection handling which are crucial when watching fast-moving content and in rooms with several light sources. The Vizio V-Series '22 (LCD), although fair, does not match the performance of the Samsung S90C in these aspects, which can result in lower clarity during fast sports and more distractions from screen reflections.

The Samsung S90C (OLED) is best in class for gaming, while the Vizio V-Series '22 (LCD) is poor.
The Samsung S90C excels in gaming due to its top-tier response time and input lag, enhancing fluid motion and reducing delay between input and on-screen action.

The Samsung S90C (OLED) is excellent for cartoons & animation, while the Vizio V-Series '22 (LCD) is only fair.
The Samsung S90C boasts an OLED panel with excellent colors out of the box and a wide color gamut, enhancing the vibrancy and variety of colors in cartoons, which is crucial for animation viewing. On the other hand, the Vizio V-Series '22, while delivering excellent out-of-the-box colors, falls short with a poor color gamut and lower color volume, which means it can't display as many shades, potentially leading to less vivid animations.
