The Samsung Q60C is generally less expensive but may not perform as well in a bright room or for movie-watching as the Vizio P-Series. The Vizio P-Series, while being more expensive, offers better performance in bright rooms, a better dark room viewing experience, and superior movie quality. If you frequently watch movies or use the TV in well-lit spaces, the Vizio might be the better option. However, if you are on a budget and primarily watch sports, news, or cartoons, the Samsung could suffice. Keep in mind that the Vizio also offers better gaming performance, which could be important if you plan to play video games. Give Feedback

The Vizio P-Series (LCD) is good for movies & TV, while the Samsung Q60C (LCD) is poor.

The Vizio P-Series (LCD) is good for gaming, while the Samsung Q60C (LCD) is poor.
The Samsung Q60C has excellent input lag which is ideal for gaming, but its response time is poor, potentially causing motion blur during fast-paced games. Conversely, the Vizio P-Series offers a decent balance with good input lag and fair response time, reducing blur and making it better suited for gaming overall.

The Vizio P-Series (LCD) is very good for cartoons & animation, while the Samsung Q60C (LCD) is good.
The Vizio P-Series delivers very good color gamut and color volume, which enhances the vibrance and range of colors for animations, while the Samsung Q60C has good ratings in those areas but may not be as rich. Both TVs have good color accuracy out of the box, but the Vizio P-Series' superior gray uniformity and higher contrast ratio could provide a better overall viewing experience for cartoons and animation.

The Vizio P-Series (LCD) is very good for bright room, while the Samsung Q60C (LCD) is only fair.
The Vizio P-Series outperforms the Samsung Q60C in bright room conditions due to its very good reflection handling and higher brightness for both SDR and HDR content which counters ambient light better. While the Samsung Q60C offers fair performance with reflections, its brightness doesn't match the Vizio, and this, along with its lower contrast ratio, may result in a less vibrant image in well-lit environments.

The Samsung Q60C (LCD) and Vizio P-Series (LCD) are both only fair for sports.
The Samsung Q60C has a poor response time which can result in motion blur during fast sports scenes, and while it handles reflections fairly well, it has limited viewing angles, which might not be ideal for a group watching. The Vizio P-Series fares better with motion handling due to its fair response time, and very good reflections handling allows for better viewing in bright rooms, although it also struggles with viewing angles similar to the Samsung Q60C, potentially impacting the experience from off-center seating.

Although they have very similar scores, PerfectRec considers Vizio P-Series (LCD) to be good for news, talk, & other TV, while the Samsung Q60C (LCD) is only fair.
The Vizio P-Series has superior SDR brightness, making it more suitable for brightly lit rooms, and its high color gamut and effective local dimming contribute to better image quality for news and TV programs. In contrast, while the Samsung Q60C offers good upscaling for lower-resolution content, it falls short in SDR brightness and color performance compared to the Vizio, which may affect its overall viewing experience in similar conditions.

Tom's guide
Brian Westover | October 2021
"We were even more pleased to see that performance had improved across the board, with the display offering better color, brightness, and shorter lag times than the already excellent Roku model. Color accuracy was great right out of the box. The TCL 5-Series Google TV becomes a great option for demanding gamers."

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.
