Our Verdict
LG C8 OLED
Vizio P Series 2018
The LG C8 is much better than the Vizio P Series 2018. The LG C8, just like all OLEDs, has perfect blacks and good viewing angles which make it a better choice if you enjoy watching movies in a dark room, or if you have a wide seating arrangement. The LG C8 can also handle reflections better if your room has many light sources. If you are a sports fan, you'll appreciate that the C8's faster response time leaves just a small blur trail in fast action. The Vizio P Series 2018, on the other hand, is brighter, has a lower input lag which is great for games and has a VA panel that shows no signs of permanent burn-in risk.
