If you value gaming performance and have a tighter budget, the Sony X80K may be more suitable as it is less expensive and has decent gaming scores. Its bright room performance is adequate, but it does not excel in dark rooms, and it supports standard HDR formats. The Vizio P-Series costs more but offers superior overall picture quality, better performance in both dark and bright rooms, and a higher contrast ratio. It's especially good for movies and has a higher refresh rate, which can benefit gaming on newer consoles. However, it might not be the best for wide seating as its viewing angle is limited.

The Vizio P-Series (LCD) is good for movies & TV, while the Sony X80K (LCD) is poor.
The Sony X80K has fair ratings in contrast, local dimming, and black uniformity, which are crucial for deep blacks and contrast seen in movies; while the Vizio P-Series shows very good performance in these aspects, offering a better cinematic experience. Viewing angles and color accuracy are somewhat important too, and while both TVs may provide decent performance here, the significant advantage the Vizio P-Series has in the key areas for movies and cinematic TV makes it the preferable choice for those purposes.

The Sony X80K (LCD) is good for sports, while the Vizio P-Series (LCD) is only fair.
The Sony X80K excels in motion processing, which is crucial for fast-moving sports content, but its response time is only fair, meaning some blur may occur during quick movements. Conversely, the Vizio P-Series has less effective motion processing and lower viewing angles, meaning the image may deteriorate when viewed from the side, but handles reflections better, offering a clearer image in brightly lit rooms.

The Vizio P-Series (LCD) is good for gaming, while the Sony X80K (LCD) is poor.
The Sony X80K has a lower response time and input lag scores, leading to a less smooth gaming experience, whereas the Vizio P-Series, with higher scores for both, will provide a more responsive and immersive gaming experience with minimal delay. The faster response time and lower input lag of the Vizio P-Series make it better suited for fast-paced gaming.

The Vizio P-Series (LCD) is very good for cartoons & animation, while the Sony X80K (LCD) is good.
The Sony X80K is praised for its colors out of the box, implying you won't need to calibrate the TV for vibrant cartoons and animation, and it has a good color gamut, which means it can display a wide range of colors, although its color volume is only fair, slightly limiting how rich colors look in different luminosities. On the other hand, the Vizio P-Series, while still good with colors out of the box, has a very good color gamut and very good color volume, ensuring more vivid and consistent colors across bright and dark scenes, but it may benefit from professional calibration for the best experience.

The Vizio P-Series (LCD) and Sony X80K (LCD) are both good for news, talk, & other TV.
The Sony X80K is suited for news and TV programs due to its good upscaling quality and satisfactory brightness for standard dynamic range content, which enhances viewing in various conditions. The Vizio P-Series, on the other hand, has a higher brightness that makes it stand out in well-lit rooms and offers more vivid colors right out of the box, contributing to a more vibrant image for daily viewing.

"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."

"We were even more pleased to see that performance had improved across the board, with the display offering better color, brightness, and shorter lag times than the already excellent Roku model. Color accuracy was great right out of the box. The TCL 5-Series Google TV becomes a great option for demanding gamers."

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.

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.
