The Vizio MQ6 '23 is typically much less expensive and offers good overall picture quality, better for watching movies, series, and animation. It has a higher dark room score, which means it performs better in low-light environments. On the other hand, the Vizio Quantum Pro costs more but provides higher gaming performance and a brighter picture, which is advantageous for well-lit rooms. It also features a 120Hz panel, which can offer smoother motion for sports and gaming. However, it has a lower dark room performance than the MQ6. If you are on a budget and mainly watch movies and prefer darker viewing environments, the MQ6 '23 would be a suitable choice. If you can invest more and prioritize gaming or watching TV in bright rooms, the Quantum Pro would be the better option. Give Feedback

The Vizio Quantum Pro (LCD) and Vizio MQ6 '23 (LCD) are both only fair for sports.
The Vizio MQ6 '23 has slower response time and poorer motion processing compared to the Vizio Quantum Pro, which both affect clarity during fast sports scenes. However, the Quantum Pro handles reflections better and offers wider viewing angles, making it more suitable for brighter rooms and larger groups, even though both TVs have similar gray uniformity, which is still somewhat important for sports viewing.

Although they have very similar scores, PerfectRec considers Vizio MQ6 '23 (LCD) to be good for news, talk, & other TV, while the Vizio Quantum Pro (LCD) is only fair.
The Vizio MQ6 '23 delivers a good balance for watching news and TV programs, offering a strong performance in upscaling and in SDR (Standard Dynamic Range) brightness, which indicates clear visuals in typical viewing conditions. On the other hand, while the Vizio Quantum Pro excels with very good SDR brightness which improves daytime viewing, it may not upscale lower resolution content as effectively, making standard broadcasts and talk shows appear less sharp compared to the MQ6.
