The Sony A90K OLED is known for exceptional picture quality, excellent for gaming and sports, while offering superior performance in dark environments. Its price is often significantly higher. The Vizio Quantum Pro LCD is more affordable, offers good brightness for SDR content, and is more suitable for bright rooms compared to the Sony. However, it doesn't perform as well with sports content, and has lower picture and dark room quality. If audio is a concern, note that both do not have great speakers. Choose the Sony A90K for superior gaming and dark room performance, and the Vizio Quantum Pro if affordability and bright room usage are priorities. Give Feedback

The Sony A90K (OLED) is excellent for sports, while the Vizio Quantum Pro (LCD) is only fair.
The Sony A90K excels in watching sports largely because of its outstanding response time and excellent motion processing, which ensure smooth action without blurring, and its OLED panel provides wide viewing angles and handles reflections well. In contrast, the Vizio Quantum Pro, while having a very good response time, falls short with its lower motion processing capabilities, resulting in less fluid movement during fast sports scenes, and its reflections handling and viewing angles are not as strong, which can affect the viewing experience in a bright room with multiple viewers.

About Sony
Sony stands as a highly experienced and widely trusted TV manufacturer, earning a reputation that surpasses all others. A Japanese company, Sony has been making TVs for far longs than it has been making Playstation game consoles. Sony's high-end TVs are often regarded as the ultimate choice for videophiles, representing the epitome of quality, albeit at a premium price point. Renowned for their advanced and precise motion handling, as well as their cutting-edge local dimming algorithms, Sony consistently delivers unparalleled performance in these areas. They include Google TV software with all their TV sets, which grants access to the largest selection of apps available and they also include Bravia Core which is a movie streaming platform specifically for Sony TVs that offers higher picture quality by using more bandwidth.
About Vizio
Vizio is an American company. While they initially gained recognition for offering budget-friendly TVs, they have successfully expanded their product lineup to include high-end options as well. They manufacture TVs primarily in Mexico, China, and Vietnam. Similar to many Korean TV brands, Vizio developed its own smart TV software called SmartCast. In the past, SmartCast was not the best smart TV software, but it has evolved so that it is now good for using your TV and connecting to streaming services.
