I have looked on rtings and the Vizio is well hyped there but I have heard it only has one HDMI 2.0 port and only that port can handle 4K and HDR. I have also heard people having problems getting their PS4 Pro to ok it is HDR compatible. Otherwise the Vizio seems like the superior tv with both types of HDR supported. The other two only support HDR10. I think the Samsung might be a bit better than the LG but not sure. The TV will be used for a PS4 Pro, an Android box with 4K streaming capabilities, and a 4K blue ray player. Can anyone help me decide here or does anyone have one of these models or other recommendations? I am not well versed on tv's so calling on my fellow CPers for some help. Thanks guys!

The Samsung and LG models you listed don't even play a true HDR10 picture. As both of those tvs are still only an 8 bit panel. One needs at least a 10bit panel for actual HDR or you won't get the wide colour gamut. Hence the Vizio is better The Vizio M series is the only one of those three which is able to play HDR10 and Dolby vision. The Samsung does upconvert signals better for cable. But doesn't come close to the Vizio due to HDR/Dolby.
The Vizio is definitely superior to those other models. The P series is even better but for the price(700-1000 price range) nothing beats the M series. The next step up would be the Sony 900 series.
