If you're looking for a TV with a high-end picture quality, excellent for gaming, and great performance in both dark and well-lit rooms, the Samsung S95C would be a superior choice. It offers a better overall viewing experience for movies and sports, superb contrast, and wide viewing angles. However, this comes at a higher price. On the other hand, the Vizio V-Series is a budget-friendly option with decent picture quality suitable for everyday TV shows, cartoons, and news. It does not perform as well as the Samsung in a bright room or for gaming, and it lacks the same level of contrast and viewing angle flexibility. If cost is a major concern and your viewing habits are more casual, the Vizio V-Series may suffice. Give Feedback

The Samsung S95C (OLED) is excellent for movies & TV, while the Vizio V-Series (LCD) is only fair.
The Samsung S95C OLED excels in watching movies and cinematic TV thanks to its perfect black uniformity, superior contrast, and effective local dimming, which grants it the ability to produce deep blacks and vibrant colors, significantly enhancing the viewing experience. Conversely, the Vizio V-Series LCD falls short with lower contrast, nonexistent local dimming, and worse black uniformity, leading to a less immersive cinematic viewing, especially in dark scenes.

"Vizio's cheapest 4K HDR TV packs in a lot for a low price. The voice control via the remote works well, about as well as Roku's version on devices that have it. So if you know your way around a TV menu, or want to be able to dial in the picture even on an inexpensive TV, the Vizio is the better choice"

About Samsung
Samsung, a South Korean electronics manufacturer, holds the title of being the largest global TV vendor in terms of units sold. They offer a diverse lineup of TV products that cater to various budget ranges. A notable achievement in recent years is the development of Quantum Dots, a technology that enhances color reproduction, resulting in richer and more vibrant hues. Samsung TVs are well-regarded for their high manufacturing quality and user-friendly software, making them an excellent choice for consumers seeking an intuitive viewing experience.
About Vizio
Vizio is an American company. While they initially gained recognition for offering budget-friendly TVs, they have successfully expanded their product lineup to include high-end options as well. They manufacture TVs primarily in Mexico, China, and Vietnam. Similar to many Korean TV brands, Vizio developed its own smart TV software called SmartCast. In the past, SmartCast was not the best smart TV software, but it has evolved so that it is now good for using your TV and connecting to streaming services.
