Excellent for 24p content
The X850E is an excellent option for those who watch content from an antenna/satellite box, DVD/Blu-ray player or Apple TV. It can detect eliminate jerky playback that is common in content from these sources.

Con
Not suitable for group watching
The X850E has a narrow viewing angle that makes it unsuitable for watching with groups. Its picture quality starts to deteriorate significantly when viewing from just ≥20° away from the screen's center. The colors will start degrading really quickly.

Pro
Offers best value for screen size in this price bracket
The X850E has the largest screen size at 65” for the cheapest when compared to its direct competitors. Similarly-sized models from its direct competitors cost much more.

Con
Might require color calibration
Some viewers might find the X850E’s white balance to be slightly off out of the box, so a brief calibration might be required if you notice it. Fortunately, all the optimal color settings are available on the internet and isn’t hard to find.

Decent for HDR content
The X850E has a wide color gamut that allows it to reproduce the colors necessary for true HDR, and it has an average peak brightness level of ~400 nits that allows it to light up these colors properly. Thanks to that, HDR pictures look decent and highlights will look fairly good. However, the HDR performance can’t get better than that, due to the average peak brightness of ~400 nits which isn’t really enough for details to truly stand out, and it lacks local dimming.

Great ecosystem of third-party apps
The X850E runs on Android TV that has access to the Google Play Store. The Play Store has a nice selection of apps, but normal Android apps won't work unless they support Android TV.

Good for sports
The X850E looks fluid thanks to its excellent color uniformity and decent handling of motion. It can display large, same-color objects like football fields really well - they will look natural and uniform. Fast-moving objects, like football, will also look smooth. The panel only requires ~14ms to fully change the pixels color, resulting in fast-moving objects not leaving any trails on the screen, eliminating virtually all motion blur.

Decent picture quality
The X850E looks really good in dark scenes, thanks to its decent contrast ratio of 4500:1 and excellent black uniformity. It can produce blacks that are 4500 times darker than the brightest white, and the black uniformity is especially good - there’s barely visible flashlighting, where edges of the screen has light on them when displaying a black image, and the screen is evenly bright. This makes it perform really well in dark scenes. Colors look vibrant because of the panel’s high peak brightness levels of ~350 nits for SDR & ~400 nits for HDR. With these brightness levels, it can get bright enough to fight glare. Along with its great handling of reflections, pictures will still look good in decently-lit environments without dull colors.

Suitable for gaming
The X850 has a relatively low input lag of ~35ms that makes it a decent pick for gaming. Most players will feel in sync, however, it might be a little unresponsive for competitive or demanding gamers. It’s also acceptable for HDR gaming because the input lag does not increase in HDR mode.

Interface is ads-free
There are no ads on the X850E’s interface.

Excellent motion interpolation capabilities
The X850E can increase the framerate of content to either 60Hz or 120Hz. It guesses which frames are missing based on the previous and next frame, and inserts the missing frame in between them. This produces a really strong soap opera effect, where images look really smooth. This might look weird to some people that doesn't like it, but the X850E can do this really well for those who enjoy it.

Highly versatile
Suitable for gaming, movies, and sports, the VIZIO P-series is one of the most versatile TVs in its price range. While the combination of low input lag and fast response time makes the TV suitable for gaming;, the VIZIO P-series also does a great job of processing highly dynamic content, such as sports. Furthermore, the TV’s uniform blacks, excellent local dimming, and reasonably high peak brightness makes it an attractive option for home theater.

Con
Bad for HDR gaming
This TV is not a good choice for HDR gaming because its dedicated gaming HDMI port does not have enough bandwidth to support the HDR-enchanted input. This means that you will have to use a regular HDMI input port to feed the TV with the HDR content. The problem here is that the regular HDMI input has 43.5 ms input lag which is too high for fast-paced, competitive gaming.

Pro
Good for gaming
It has great motion blur handling abilities and a dedicated gaming HDMI port with a reduced input lag of 15.9 ms makes the VIZIO P-series quite suitable for gaming. The TV’s excellent motion blur handling is directly related to its ability to change the color of each pixel 80% of the way in just 3.9 ms so you won't notice any trails on rapidly moving objects. The VIZIO P-series by far outperforms all the competitors on the market when it comes to this.

Con
The 55-inch model has low contrast
The 55-inch VIZIO P-series TV has significantly lower picture quality than the 65-inch and 75-inch models. The 65-inch and 75-inch models use a VA panel while the 55-inch model has an IPS panel. The main difference between those is that the VA panel has, on average, four times higher contrast ratio than the IPS panel; Thus, the VA panel can reproduce more vibrant and more in-depth scenes.

Picture looks good from an angle
The 55-inch model of the VIZIO P-series has excellent viewing angles because of its IPS panel which preserves correct colors and shades no matter the angle between the viewer and the panel. This property makes the TV ideal for watching with a group.

Can increase media's frame rate
This TV is an excellent choice for those who like to ‘speed up’ the regular 30FPS media, sourced from cable/satellite boxes or old DVDs as it can boost up low frame rate content up to a whopping 120 frames per second rate. Some people call it a ‘soap opera effect’, but technically the process is called interpolation. Additionally, it’s worth mentioning that this TV’s biggest competitor: the TCL P607 cannot interpolate motion.

Pro
Compatible with HDR media
The VIZIO P-series is suitable for HDR-enhanced content because of its full HDR10 and Dolby Vision support. The HDR10 and Dolby Vision are currently the two flagship HDR formats used in the multimedia industry, which means that all the new HDR movies and shows are compliant with either one of those formats. It’s also worth noting that in the HDR field, the VIZIO P-series outperforms its competitors, including the Samsung MU8000 which lacks Dolby Vision support.

Pro
Good build quality
The VIZIO P-series feels solid and rugged because its frame and stand are built from high-quality metal. In comparison, the most significant competitors of the VIZIO P-series: Samsung MU8000 and TCL P607 have their frames and stands built from plastic.

Good response time for gaming
The Q8 has a 100% response time at 12.9ms, meaning you won't see much in the way of input lag. This puts it in a great position for a gaming television.

Con
Poor viewing angles can mean a bad group viewing experience
Due to the Q8's VA panel, the viewing angles leave a bit to be desired. The viewing angle of the screen, overall, is roughly 66°. Once you exceed that angle, you'll start to notice a degradation in picture quality. Blacks will turn grey and even with a small angle, colors will begin to shift.

Pro
Solid motion handling
The Q8 has a very good response time and supports up to 120fps motion interpolation, even in game mode. The screen is good at lessening, or removing altogether, 24p jitter.

Con
Wide stand might not fit on all setups
The feet for the stand rest 38.1" apart from each other, so they might not fit on all tables.

Great picture quality in a bright room
The Q8FN's high brightness means that even in a bright room you'll still be receiving a good picture quality that fights through the glare.

Con
Inputs can be difficult to reach
The Q8's inputs are mounted parallel to the body on the backside of the television. If you have it mounted to a wall you may have issues reaching the plugs.

Available in three sizes
The Q8FN comes in three sizes: 55 inch (QN55QFN), 65 inch (QN65QFN), and a 75 inch (QN75QFN). The price, of course, varies with screen size.

Con
Incompatible with Alexa and Google Home
Samsung chose to launch their own personal assistant line instead of working with Amazon and Google to use theirs, so you can't expect it to integrate with your Alexa or Google Home.

Includes Samsung Bixby assistant
The Samsung Bixby assistant is integrated with the TV, meaning you can control it with the same app you would any other Bixby enable service.

Includes full array local dimming for a better brights and better darks
Samsung's FALD (full array local dimming) can be thought of as an array of LEDs behind the screen. The local dimming can do a better job of increasing contrast and color brightness in specific areas of the screen compared to Samsung's older models which used edge lighting and some slight local dimming.

Pro
Great overall picture quality
The Q8 has an excellent contrast ratio with incredibly deep blacks. The FALD (full array local dimming) feature accents the already good black performance by diminishing bloom and haze around bright objects, lending an excellent overall dark room experience. The HDR works well and is handily able to exceed the 1000 cd/m target for HDR content. The color management is also decent and, while the management system is a little lackluster, with the right settings you can hit a very accurate color palette.
