The Samsung Q60B is generally less expensive and performs very well for watching news, talk shows, reality TV, as well as for cartoons and animation, and it offers good reflection handling for bright rooms. However, its dark room performance is below average, and it has limited gaming capabilities.
The Vizio Quantum Pro usually costs more, but it has better gaming performance and a higher refresh rate which can be beneficial for fast-paced content. It also handles well both in bright and slightly darker environments, but like the Samsung, its dark room performance isn't the best and it offers voice commands functionality. Give Feedback

The Samsung Q60B (LCD) and Vizio Quantum Pro (LCD) are both only fair for movies & TV.
The Samsung Q60B provides a high contrast and excellent black uniformity which is essential for deep blacks in movies, making it suitable for dark room viewing, but it lacks local dimming to enhance those dark scenes further. On the other hand, the Vizio Quantum Pro, despite having lower contrast and black uniformity which may lead to grayer blacks, offers local dimming that can improve the movie-watching experience and also provides wider viewing angles which can be important if you often watch with a large group.

The Vizio Quantum Pro (LCD) and Samsung Q60B (LCD) are both only fair for sports.
The Samsung Q60B has a poor response time, which can lead to motion blur during fast-paced sports games, while its fair reflections handling might cause glare issues in well-lit rooms. In contrast, the Vizio Quantum Pro offers very good response time reducing motion blur but has a wider viewing angle which helps when watching with a group, although its reflection handling is only fair, like the Samsung Q60B, possibly resulting in glare in bright rooms.

How the Samsung Q60B (LCD) and the Vizio Quantum Pro (LCD) compare to other TVs
"Samsung's 2022 QLED workhorse shines in bright rooms and with HDR. The Samsung Q60B stands out from the slew of entry-level TVs with an ultra-thin frame, a skinny profile from the side and even narrow stand legs. The Q60B is a very good bright-room TV, and my subjective impression of its ample light output was proven by measurements."
