The Sony X85K is a midrange-priced TV that offers better overall picture quality, gaming experience, sports viewing, and bright room performance than the Vizio V-Series '22, which is budget-priced. This means if you value a superior viewing experience for dynamic content and have a well-lit room, you may prefer the Sony X85K, despite its higher cost. However, if budget is a significant concern and you're looking for a TV that can handle various types of content reasonably well, the Vizio V-Series '22 might be your choice. It is less costly but doesn't provide the same level of performance in gaming, sports, or bright environments as the Sony X85K. Give Feedback

The Sony X85K (LCD) is good for gaming, while the Vizio V-Series '22 (LCD) is poor.
The Sony X85K provides a good gaming experience due to its higher refresh rate and excellent response time, reducing motion blur and making the display of fast-moving content sharp.

The Sony X85K (LCD) is very good for news, talk, & other TV, while the Vizio V-Series '22 (LCD) is poor.
The Sony X85K excels at watching news, talk shows, and TV programs due to its very good upscaling of low-resolution content and its very good SDR brightness, enabling clear and bright images even in well-lit environments. In contrast, the Vizio V-Series '22 struggles in these areas with only fair upscaling and SDR brightness, resulting in less clarity and dimmer images, which can be particularly noticeable when viewing such content.

The Sony X85K (LCD) is good for bright room, while the Vizio V-Series '22 (LCD) is poor.
The Sony X85K performs better in bright rooms as it has higher SDR and HDR brightness, making it more suitable for well-lit environments, whereas the Vizio V-Series '22 struggles due to its lower brightness levels and poorer handling of reflections, which can hinder viewing in such conditions.

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.
