The Vizio P-Series is less expensive than the Vizio Quantum Pro. On the other hand, the Quantum Pro, while more expensive, has a slightly newer release and offers better upscaling and motion processing, which might be appealing if you watch a lot of fast-moving sports or action movies. However, its screen might not be the best choice for a sunny room. Both TVs support HDR10, Dolby Vision, and HLG but neither has speakers that stand out, and they each have four HDMI ports. If accessibility features matter to you, the Quantum Pro includes voice commands. Give Feedback

The Vizio Quantum Pro (LCD) and Vizio P-Series (LCD) are both only fair for sports.
The Vizio P-Series has a good response time which is crucial for watching fast-moving sports, but its limited viewing angles can restrict the view for larger groups. On the other hand, the Vizio Quantum Pro has very good viewing angles offering a better view for everyone, however, its motion processing is not as high-performing which can lead to less smooth action during sports.

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."
