If saving money is a priority and you mainly watch news, talk shows, or cartoons, the Vizio D-Series '22 could satisfy your needs despite its overall fair picture quality and poor performance in bright rooms. However, if you're looking for a TV that offers good performance across a variety of content, including movies, sports, and gaming, and better quality in both dark and bright environments, the Sony X90J is a superior choice. Keep in mind that the Sony X90J also has better connectivity with more HDMI ports and supports advanced HDR formats like Dolby Vision, which will greatly enhance your viewing experience if you watch a lot of HDR 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.
