Our Verdict
Samsung Q8FN/Q8/Q8F QLED 2018
Vizio P Series Quantum 2018
The Vizio P Series Quantum is marginally better than the Samsung Q8FN. The P Series Quantum can get brighter in HDR. It has a faster response time so that fast-moving content has only a small blur trail, which is great for sports. The Samsung Q8FN supports FreeSync variable refresh rate and has some neat gaming features like motion interpolation with low input lag.
