The Sony X77L is often more expensive than the Vizio V-Series '22, reflecting differences in their performance. If you prioritize gaming and sports watching, the Sony model has a higher sports content score. However, for dark room viewing, neither model excels. In well-lit rooms, the Sony slightly outperforms the Vizio. On the other hand, the Vizio provides a better movie viewing experience and is superior for cartoons and animation. Both TVs offer decent sound quality and support various HDR formats but don't expect top-notch sound from built-in speakers. If cost is a major concern, the Vizio is less expensive and offers good overall quality for its price bracket. Give Feedback

The Sony X77L (LCD) and Vizio V-Series '22 (LCD) are both only fair for sports, though the Sony X77L (LCD) is somewhat better.
For watching sports, the Sony X77L has a better response time and viewing angles, which is great for fast-moving scenes and wider seating arrangements. However, the Vizio V-Series '22 handles reflections better but has narrower viewing angles and slower response time, which could be less ideal in bright rooms and when viewers are spread out across the room.

The Vizio V-Series '22 (LCD) and Sony X77L (LCD) are both only fair for cartoons & animation, though the Vizio V-Series '22 (LCD) is somewhat better.
The Sony X77L displays colors well right out of the box, making cartoons look vibrant without much adjustment, but its color gamut is limited, affecting the range of shades it can reproduce. The Vizio V-Series '22 also shows colors impressively without tweaking, but similarly suffers from a narrow color gamut and has just a fair performance in color volume, which can make some colors look less vivid in certain areas.

The Vizio V-Series '22 (LCD) and Sony X77L (LCD) are both poor for gaming.
The Sony X77L has poorer response time and the Vizio V-Series '22 has average response time, which means both are not ideal for fast-paced gaming where the quickness of the screen's reaction to changes is crucial. However, they both have a very good input lag score, indicating minimal delay between a user’s actions and the result appearing on the screen, but this is not enough to compensate for their less than optimal response times which can affect overall gaming performance.

Although they have very similar scores, PerfectRec considers Sony X77L (LCD) to be only fair for news, talk, & other TV, while the Vizio V-Series '22 (LCD) is poor.
The Sony X77L performs better for news and TV programs due to its superior ability to upscale lower resolution content and offer a brighter image in standard dynamic range (SDR), which is critical for viewing content during the day or in well-lit rooms. On the other hand, the Vizio V-Series '22 lacks effective local dimming and has a poorer color performance straight out of the box, detracting from the overall viewing quality for day-to-day television content.

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.
