The LG UR9000 generally costs more but has a feature set tuned for a variety of content, with a slightly better gaming experience and sports viewing experience. It has voice commands for easier control. However, it's not as good in a dark room as the Vizio V-Series. The Vizio V-Series is less expensive and may be a better choice for watching movies, talk shows, and animations, performing better in dark environments. It lacks voice commands and doesn't support as wide a range of high dynamic range (HDR) formats, but it offers good value for general TV viewing and gaming. Consider your primary use case, room lighting, and budget when choosing between these two. Give Feedback

The Vizio V-Series (LCD) is only fair for movies & TV, while the LG UR9000 (LCD) is poor.
The LG UR9000 performs poorly for movies and cinematic TV mainly due to its low contrast and black uniformity which are crucial for displaying deep blacks and dark scenes, compounded by its inadequate local dimming that fails to improve these shortcomings. In comparison, the Vizio V-Series offers fair performance for cinematic content with significantly better contrast and black uniformity, allowing for richer dark scenes, but still suffers from the absence of local dimming to enhance picture quality further.

The LG UR9000 (LCD) and Vizio V-Series (LCD) are both only fair for sports, though the LG UR9000 (LCD) is somewhat better.
The LG UR9000 has fair motion processing and reflection handling but offers a wide viewing angle, making it suitable for sports in a group setting; however, its response time is only fair, which might affect fast-moving scenes. On the other hand, the Vizio V-Series struggles with both response time and motion processing, and while it handles reflections similarly to the LG, its narrow viewing angles could limit the view for those sitting off-center. Gray uniformity, somewhat important for sports, is better on the LG compared to the Vizio, which may affect the perceived clarity on large areas of uniform color, like a field.

The Vizio V-Series (LCD) is good for cartoons & animation, while the LG UR9000 (LCD) is poor.
The LG UR9000's poorer performance for cartoons and animation is due to its limited color gamut, which results in less rich and accurate colors compared to the more vibrant and true-to-life colors produced by the Vizio V-Series, which is known to have a good colors out of the box, ensuring that animations are displayed more vividly and attractively.

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"
