If you want better picture quality for movies and series, the Vizio M-Series may be the more suitable choice as it performs better overall in this regard. It also offers superior contrast and is better for dark room viewing, making it suitable for environments with controlled lighting. The M-Series supports more advanced features, like local dimming, which enhances the viewing experience for high dynamic range (HDR) content. The Vizio V-Series '22, on the other hand, is more budget-friendly and still provides decent picture quality, but it lacks local dimming and doesn't perform as well in dark rooms. It might be more appealing if your primary concern is cost savings and you're using the TV in a bright room, for news or reality TV, and are not as concerned with the highest picture quality for movies or gaming. Both models have some HDR support, but the M-Series supports additional formats like Dolby Vision. Both options have a 60Hz LCD panel and are therefore not the best choice if you are seeking the smoothest motion for fast-paced sports or gaming. They are both suitable for casual gaming, but neither will offer the best gaming experience on the market due to their response time and low gaming scores. The M-Series, however, does have a slight edge in gaming performance. Finally, note that both have limitations with viewing angles, so they may not be the best choice for wide seating arrangements.

The Vizio M-Series (LCD) is only fair for gaming, while the Vizio V-Series '22 (LCD) is poor.
The Vizio M-Series is better suited for gaming due to its superior response time and input lag performance, both significant for ensuring smooth and responsive gameplay. Conversely, the Vizio V-Series '22 falls short in these critical areas, which can result in less fluid motion and a delay between players' actions and the on-screen reaction, thus providing a less optimal gaming experience.

The Vizio M-Series (LCD) is very good for cartoons & animation, while the Vizio V-Series '22 (LCD) is only fair.
The Vizio M-Series is very good for watching cartoons and animations because it displays colors out of the box accurately and has a very good color gamut, ensuring a wide range of shades and vibrant hues. Meanwhile, the Vizio V-Series '22 performs fairly in the same regard as it also excellently portrays colors out of the box but has a poor color gamut, limiting the spectrum of colors it can produce.

The Vizio M-Series (LCD) is good for news, talk, & other TV, while the Vizio V-Series '22 (LCD) is poor.
The Vizio M-Series is better for watching news, talk shows, and TV programs because it has very good performance in upscaling, which enhances lower resolution content and maintains good SDR brightness, helping to keep the picture visible in various lighting conditions. Conversely, the Vizio V-Series '22 struggles with these types of content due to its fair performance in upscaling and SDR brightness, making it less ideal for watching standard definition content and in situations where room brightness is a factor.

The Vizio M-Series (LCD) is only fair for bright room, while the Vizio V-Series '22 (LCD) is poor.
The Vizio M-Series demonstrates a better ability to display brighter content in standard dynamic range scenarios and handles reflections more effectively than the Vizio V-Series '22. Consequently, the M-Series is more suited for bright rooms since it can counteract glare and maintain visibility compared to the V-Series '22, which struggles more with both brightness and reflections.

The Vizio M-Series (LCD) and Vizio V-Series '22 (LCD) are both only fair for sports.
The Vizio M-Series and Vizio V-Series '22 both have challenges with motion processing and only fair response times, which affect fast-moving sports content, but their fair reflections handling is adequate for well-lit environments. Poor viewing angles can make it difficult for groups to watch together from different positions, and gray uniformity is only somewhat uniform, which might be noticeable during sports with uniform colors like a football field or hockey rink.
