If you prioritize a higher-quality viewing experience for movies and TV shows, especially in dark rooms, the Sony X80K would be a better choice, but keep in mind that it comes with a significant price increase over the Vizio V-Series '22. On the other hand, if you're looking for a more budget-friendly option that still provides a decent experience for varied content, including gaming and watching sports, the Vizio might suit your needs despite its slightly lower performance in comparison. Neither TV is ideal for bright room usage, so in well-lit environments, you may notice reflections and glare on both screens. Give Feedback

The Sony X80K (LCD) is good for sports, while the Vizio V-Series '22 (LCD) is only fair.
The Sony X80K is considered good for watching sports because of its faster response time and better motion processing capabilities, which ensures smoother movement on the screen, important during fast-paced sports games. The Vizio V-Series '22, while offering good reflection handling and fair viewing angles, falls short in motion processing and response time, making it less suitable for sports where these attributes are very important.

The Sony X80K (LCD) is good for news, talk, & other TV, while the Vizio V-Series '22 (LCD) is poor.
The Sony X80K is better suited for watching news and talk shows because it excels at upscaling lower-resolution content and offers stronger brightness for SDR content, ensuring clear visibility even in well-lit rooms. In contrast, the Vizio V-Series '22 struggles with these aspects, displaying poorer upscaling of non-4K content and lower SDR brightness, which can result in a less clear picture, especially in bright viewing environments.

The Vizio V-Series '22 (LCD) and Sony X80K (LCD) are both poor for movies & TV.
The Sony X80K and the Vizio V-Series '22 both have poor contrast and lack local dimming, leading to less detailed and washed-out dark scenes, which diminishes the movie-watching experience; plus, they exhibit subpar black uniformity, meaning blacks may appear grayish. While both TVs offer good color accuracy, their limited color volume and suboptimal gray uniformity can cause muted colors and uneven shades across the screen, reducing the overall visual fidelity for cinematic content.

The Sony X80K (LCD) and Vizio V-Series '22 (LCD) are both poor for gaming.
The Sony X80K and the Vizio V-Series '22 are poor choices for gaming primarily because of their LCD panels with a 60Hz refresh rate, which limits motion clarity during fast-paced games. Additionally, even though they both have respectable input lag performance, their response time is only fair, resulting in some motion blur which might not be ideal for gaming where fast response is crucial.

Although they have very similar scores, PerfectRec considers Sony X80K (LCD) to be good for cartoons & animation, while the Vizio V-Series '22 (LCD) is only fair.
The Sony X80K is preferred for cartoons and animation because it exhibits very good color reproduction out of the box and a good color gamut, ensuring vibrant and true to life imagery. In contrast, the Vizio V-Series '22 displays excellent color out of the box but has a poor color gamut, which limits the range of colors it can display, making it less suitable for content with a wide color palette.

Although they have very similar scores, PerfectRec considers Sony X80K (LCD) to be only fair for bright room, while the Vizio V-Series '22 (LCD) is poor.
The Sony X80K delivers better performance in a bright room compared to the Vizio V-Series '22 as it has a higher SDR brightness, which is crucial for overcoming ambient light, although both have comparable reflection handling which is also important for viewing in well-lit environments. In contrast, the Vizio has lower SDR and HDR brightness, which makes it less suitable for bright rooms and could result in a dimmer picture under similar conditions.

Tom's guide
Matthew Murray | February 2023
"The Sony Bravia X80K is an inexpensive LCD TV that turns out pleasing visuals and is armed with a number of other desirable features. Sony’s robust internal processing, results in generally better picture quality than you’ll usually get for this price. In practice, the X80K is satisfying to watch. You’re not going to get as sumptuous a picture as you may with other TVs from Sony or other companies, but we didn’t encounter anything that looked bad on it."

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 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.
