Our Verdict
Vizio P Series Quantum 2018
Samsung Q60/Q60R QLED
The Vizio P Series Quantum 2018 is much better than the Samsung Q60/Q60R QLED. The Vizio has a much better dark room performance thanks to its deeper and more uniform blacks. The Vizio can also get brighter and handle reflection better so you can easily place it in a bright room. The P Series Quantum has better HDR performance and displays crisper motion thanks to the faster response time. The Samsung Q60R is loaded with gaming features like FreeSync support to please serious gamers.
