If you prioritize picture quality, especially in dark environments, and are willing to invest more, the Sony A80J with its OLED technology offers superior contrast and black levels. However, if you are looking for a more budget-friendly option that still delivers good performance, the Vizio MQ6 is an LCD TV that offers decent quality but may not match the Sony in terms of overall picture quality and viewing angles. Consider the Vizio MQ6 if you typically watch TV in brighter rooms as OLEDs like the Sony A80J can be more prone to glare. Keep in mind that the Vizio may not handle motion as smoothly as the Sony, which could be a factor if you watch a lot of sports or play fast-paced games. Give Feedback

The Sony A80J (OLED) is excellent for news, talk, & other TV, while the Vizio MQ6 '23 (LCD) is good.
The Sony A80J excels in upscaling lower-resolution content and providing impressive SDR brightness, resulting in clear and vivid images for news and talk shows, whereas the Vizio MQ6 '23, despite good performance, doesn't match the Sony in these very important areas but is still a capable TV for everyday programs. Additionally, the Sony A80J's superior colors out of the box, color gamut, local dimming, and contrast enhance the viewing experience, factors that are somewhat important but also contribute to its overall excellent rating for watching regular TV programs.

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 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.
