Samsung Q7C 65" (QN65Q7C) vs VIZIO M-Series 55" (M55-E0)

The Samsung Q7C is an excellent option for sports fans because the TV can display fast and dynamic content very clearly. This is achieved by the TV’s fast pixel response time which almost eliminates the motion-blur effect. The TV has a full pixel response time of 8.1 ms which means each pixel can fully change its color in less than 1/100th of a second, so even fast-moving objects don't leave trails. Regarding response time, the Samsung Q7C performs much better than the majority of its competitors on the market.

Additionally, the Samsung Q7C is especially good for watching outdoor sports, like football, rugby or golf, because the TV has high color uniformity which makes sports fields look more realistic and consistent.

The Samsung Q7C is a good gaming TV because of its relatively small input lag, and excellent motion blur handling.

The TV’s input lag is only 24.2 ms, which allows you to experience smooth and immersive gameplay without noticeable delay between the press of a button and the corresponding action on the screen. Here, the Q7C outperforms its biggest competitor: the Sony X930E.

The overall picture quality of the Samsung Q7C is decent as the TV can reproduce deep dark scenes because of its panel's high native contrast ratio and proper black uniformity. The Samsung Q7C does a much better job with dark scenes than its competitors, including the VIZIO P-series.

This TV works very well with all the current generation gaming consoles, such as the Xbox One X, PS4 Pro, and Wii U.

The Samsung Q7C comes with an eye-catching remote. It’s made from metal and has shiny metal finish. Apart from being stylish, the remote offers some extended functionality, like a microphone and voice control.

The Samsung Q7C has all the bits and pieces needed to process and display HDR content because of the TV’s wide color gamut, acceptable HDR peak brightness, good native contrast ratio, and uniform blacks.

The main feature of the Samsung Q7C is its curved panel which can give you that immersive feeling as it is curved in such a way that it feels like the screen surrounds you if you sit front and center. However, if you are not a fan of curved TVs, there is an equally-priced flat version of the Samsung Q7C called the Samsung Q7F.

The 2017's VIZIO M-Series is a fair option for those who like to watch TV in a dark room because of the good blacks it can reproduce and its reasonable native contrast ratio.

Regarding its black uniformity, this TV performs on par with the best TVs in its price range.

The TV's native contrast ratio of 5606:1 is higher than what the majority of equally-priced competitors offer, allowing it to pack bright highlights as well as some inky, dark spots into a single image.
