The Vizio V-Series is a budget-friendly option with a decent overall picture quality and good performance for cartoons and animation. It's less suitable for dark room viewing due to a limited contrast ratio and brightness. If you're on a tighter budget and mainly watch standard TV shows or cartoons, it might be a good fit. On the other hand, the Vizio Quantum Pro costs more but offers better overall picture quality, brighter images for both SDR and HDR content, and superior gaming performance with a higher refresh rate. It is also equipped with extra HDMI ports and better sound specifications which includes Dolby Atmos support. This model is more suitable for those who value enhanced picture quality and gaming, or watch TV in bright rooms. However, the Quantum Pro doesn't perform as well in terms of viewing angle, which could be a consideration if you often watch TV from side seats. Give Feedback

The Vizio Quantum Pro (LCD) is very good for gaming, while the Vizio V-Series (LCD) is poor.
The Vizio V-Series (LCD) has poor response time which can lead to motion blur in fast-paced games, and despite its very good input lag which minimizes delay between user action and on-screen reaction, its standard refresh rate doesn't support more fluid movement in games. In contrast, the Vizio Quantum Pro (LCD) features a very good response time, reducing motion blur, alongside a good input lag and a higher refresh rate, making it more suited for a smoother and more responsive gaming experience.

The Vizio Quantum Pro (LCD) and Vizio V-Series (LCD) are both good for cartoons & animation, though the Vizio Quantum Pro (LCD) is somewhat better.
The Vizio V-Series LCD TV delivers vibrant colors out of the box which makes animated content pop without the need for much adjustment, but the color gamut is limited, affecting the range of colors displayed. In contrast, the Vizio Quantum Pro LCD boasts a wider color gamut, providing a more diverse palette for cartoons and animation, with the tradeoff of less impressive initial color settings and a higher price.

The Vizio Quantum Pro (LCD) is good for bright room, while the Vizio V-Series (LCD) is poor.
The Vizio V-Series struggles in bright rooms because it has poor SDR and HDR brightness and only manages reflections fairly, whereas the Vizio Quantum Pro performs well due to its very good SDR brightness and very good handling of reflections. Contrast, color volume, and color gamut, while important for overall picture quality, are less critical than brightness and reflection handling in bright environments.

The Vizio Quantum Pro (LCD) and Vizio V-Series (LCD) are both only fair for movies & TV.
The Vizio V-Series (LCD) has high contrast which is great for movie watchers looking for deep blacks in dark scenes, but it lacks local dimming to further improve those black levels and does not perform as well in well-lit rooms due to lower gray uniformity and limited viewing angles. On the other hand, the Vizio Quantum Pro (LCD) offers local dimming and better viewing angles which enhance the viewing experience in various lighting conditions, but it has lower contrast, impacting its ability to produce deep blacks.

The Vizio Quantum Pro (LCD) and Vizio V-Series (LCD) are both only fair for sports.
The Vizio V-Series has a fair response time and poor motion processing, which can lead to blurring during fast-paced sports scenes, while its fair reflections handling and limited viewing angles may reduce visibility from off-center positions. In contrast, the Vizio Quantum Pro offers very good response time and motion processing, providing clearer motion in sports, and its very good reflection handling coupled with wider viewing angles make it more suitable for bright rooms and group viewings, though both TVs have similar gray uniformity which is somewhat important for sports.

The Vizio Quantum Pro (LCD) and Vizio V-Series (LCD) are both only fair for news, talk, & other TV.
The Vizio V-Series (LCD) provides decent upscaling, which is very important for watching standard definition content like news and talk shows, but its SDR (Standard Dynamic Range) brightness is poor, which might affect its performance in well-lit rooms. On the other hand, the Vizio Quantum Pro (LCD) has very good SDR brightness for a bright room view, yet its upscaling quality is only fair, which could make lower resolution content less crisp.

Geoffrey Morrison | June 2021
"Vizio's cheapest 4K HDR TV packs in a lot for a low price. The voice control via the remote works well, about as well as Roku's version on devices that have it. So if you know your way around a TV menu, or want to be able to dial in the picture even on an inexpensive TV, the Vizio is the better choice"
