When choosing between the Samsung CU8000 and the Vizio V-Series '22, consider these points: The Samsung CU8000 is often more expensive. It has a lower overall picture quality and struggles more in dark rooms. It does not support Dolby Vision for HDR content but performs slightly better for gaming usage. The Vizio V-Series '22 is less expensive and excels in animation, showing more vivid colors out of the box. It also supports Dolby Vision, enhancing HDR content, and has slightly better sound quality. However, it's not quite as good for sports content. Both models are similar in bright room performance and offer comparable features, like voice command accessibility for the Samsung and various HDR format support for the Vizio. Give Feedback

The Vizio V-Series '22 (LCD) is only fair for cartoons & animation, while the Samsung CU8000 (LCD) is poor.
The Samsung CU8000 exhibits fair performance with colors straight out of the box and a good color gamut, which should result in decent color reproduction when watching cartoons & animation. In contrast, the Vizio V-Series '22, while offering excellent colors right out of the box, has a poor color gamut, which means its range of colors is more limited, potentially making some cartoons & animation less vibrant.

The Vizio V-Series '22 (LCD) and Samsung CU8000 (LCD) are both poor for movies & TV.
The Samsung CU8000 performs poorly for movies and cinematic TV due to its low contrast, lack of local dimming, and mediocre black uniformity, resulting in washed-out dark scenes and less immersive viewing. Similarly, the Vizio V-Series '22, while having a better contrast, also lacks local dimming and has subpar black uniformity, leading to a less than optimal experience in displaying the deep blacks and rich details often found in cinematic content.

The Samsung CU8000 (LCD) and Vizio V-Series '22 (LCD) are both only fair for sports.
The Samsung CU8000 and the Vizio V-Series '22 both have fair performance in sports viewing because they have moderate viewing angles and response times; reflections are not handled very well by either model, which can be an issue in bright rooms. Additionally, while the Samsung handles motion better, which is important for fast-paced sports, both have similar gray uniformity, affecting the appearance of the playing field on-screen.

The Vizio V-Series '22 (LCD) and Samsung CU8000 (LCD) are both poor for gaming.
The Samsung CU8000 is considered poor for gaming because of its low response time, but it has a very good input lag, which is beneficial for gaming. Conversely, the Vizio V-Series '22 also falls short for gaming, sharing a similar low response time adequacy with the CU8000, and despite a very good input lag as well, other gaming-related features may not measure up.

The Vizio V-Series '22 (LCD) and Samsung CU8000 (LCD) are both poor for news, talk, & other TV.
The Samsung CU8000 has subpar upscaling of low-resolution content like news, leading to a lower quality picture for such programming, and its 'Colors Out of the Box' performance can make content appear less vibrant. Similarly, the Vizio V-Series '22 struggles with upscaling, resulting in diminished picture clarity for standard definition content, and also falls short in representing a wide color gamut, which affects the natural reproduction of color in everyday TV shows.

The Vizio V-Series '22 (LCD) and Samsung CU8000 (LCD) are both poor for bright room.
The Samsung CU8000 and the Vizio V-Series '22 both have difficulties in bright room settings due to their fair SDR brightness, lack of local dimming, and poor handling of HDR brightness. Additionally, both TVs struggle with reflections, which worsens their performance in well-lit environments despite having fair to good scores for contrast, color volume, and color gamut.
