The Vizio P-Series offers superior overall picture quality, making it a strong choice for movies and gaming, thanks to its higher gaming score and the presence of local dimming for enhanced contrast. It's also better equipped for bright rooms. For those on a budget or who prioritize general TV watching and cartoons, the Vizio V-Series '22 is less expensive but does not perform as well in dark or very bright environments and lacks local dimming, which affects contrast. The V-Series offers exceptional upscaling for lower resolution content but has a lower response time, which could affect fast-moving content enjoyment. The P-Series may be preferable for a more immersive experience, whereas the V-Series may be more suitable for casual viewing and cost savings. Give Feedback

The Vizio P-Series (LCD) is good for gaming, while the Vizio V-Series '22 (LCD) is poor.
The Vizio P-Series is better suited for gaming with a faster response time and is capable of a higher refresh rate for smoother gameplay compared to the Vizio V-Series '22, which has a fair response time and is limited to a lower refresh rate, impacting the fluidity of motion in games. The V-Series, while having very good input lag, falls short in performance for gaming due to its lower scores in crucial areas like response time and refresh rate capabilities.

The Vizio P-Series (LCD) is very good for cartoons & animation, while the Vizio V-Series '22 (LCD) is only fair.
The Vizio P-Series (LCD) is considered very good for watching cartoons and animation because it shows colors well right out of the box and has a very good color gamut, ensuring a wide and vivid color spectrum. In contrast, the Vizio V-Series '22 (LCD), though exhibiting excellent colors out of the box, offers only fair performance in color gamut, which means it can't display as wide a range of colors.

The Vizio P-Series (LCD) is good for news, talk, & other TV, while the Vizio V-Series '22 (LCD) is poor.
The Vizio P-Series provides a very good upscaling ability and SDR brightness, enhancing the details and making it suitable for watching news and TV programs in well-lit conditions.

The Vizio P-Series (LCD) is very good for bright room, while the Vizio V-Series '22 (LCD) is poor.
The Vizio P-Series is well-suited for bright rooms due to its higher SDR and HDR brightness and more effective handling of reflections, which helps maintain picture quality under various lighting conditions. Conversely, the Vizio V-Series '22 struggles in this regard because it has lower brightness in both SDR and HDR and does not handle reflections as well, leading to a less ideal viewing experience in brightly lit environments.

The Vizio P-Series (LCD) and Vizio V-Series '22 (LCD) are both only fair for sports.
The Vizio P-Series (LCD) and Vizio V-Series '22 (LCD) TVs are both considered fair for watching sports because they exhibit decent response times and handle reflections well, which are very important for fast-paced games and environments with lighting variations, but they have limited viewing angles and only fair gray uniformity, which could affect the viewing experience from different positions and when displaying large, uniform fields commonly seen in 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."
