If you're on a budget and looking for a smaller screen size, the Samsung N5200 could work for you, but be aware that it has poor scores for most types of content and is not recommended for bright rooms. On the other hand, the Vizio P-Series is typically much more expensive but offers significantly better overall picture quality, performs well in bright rooms, and is suitable for varied content including movies, sports, and gaming. The Vizio also has a larger screen size and supports advanced features like high dynamic range formats, which the Samsung does not, making the Vizio a better choice for an immersive viewing experience if you're willing to spend more.

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.
