The Samsung S95C offers superior performance in almost all aspects compared to the Vizio MQ6. If you prioritize picture quality, especially in dark rooms, and gaming experience, the Samsung's OLED technology will serve you better. It also has a higher gaming score, which means lower input lag and faster response time—important for gaming. However, it is substantially more expensive. The Vizio MQ6, on the other hand, is much more budget-friendly. Although it may not compete with the Samsung in terms of picture quality and gaming performance, it's a decent choice if you're looking to save money. For watching movies and high-resolution content, the Samsung’s OLED screen will provide deeper blacks and more vibrant colors. Also, for sports and fast action content, Samsung's higher motion processing capability is a plus. In bright rooms, though, the Samsung may not be as bright as some LCDs, so if you watch TV mostly in a well-lit environment, this could be a consideration. The Vizio may perform slightly better in these conditions due to its screen technology. So, if budget is not a constraint and you want top-tier picture quality and gaming experience, go for the Samsung S95C. If you are on a budget and can compromise on some of the high-end features, the Vizio MQ6 would be the more economical choice. Give Feedback

The Samsung S95C (OLED) is excellent for movies & TV, while the Vizio MQ6 '23 (LCD) is good.
The Samsung S95C OLED excels in watching movies and cinematic TV due to its perfect contrast with deep blacks, excellent local dimming, and great viewing angles; it maintains color accuracy and detail even from different angles. In contrast, the Vizio MQ6 '23 LCD, while still good, has lower overall contrast, less effective local dimming, and narrower viewing angles, which means colors and details can look less consistent when viewed from the side.

The Samsung S95C (OLED) is very good for sports, while the Vizio MQ6 '23 (LCD) is only fair.
The Samsung S95C excels in watching sports because it has an OLED panel with a much faster response time, superior motion processing, better reflection handling, and wider viewing angles compared to the Vizio MQ6, which has an LCD panel with only fair performance in these areas. Additionally, the Samsung's gray uniformity, which is somewhat important for sports viewing, is also higher than the Vizio's, ensuring a more consistent image across the screen.
