The Sony A90J is a high-end OLED TV which typically comes with a heftier price tag. It's especially good for watching movies, playing games, and enjoying sports content as it offers excellent overall picture quality, superior contrast, and great viewing angles. The A90J's OLED technology also delivers perfect blacks, which is important for dark room viewing, and has low reflection handling for moderately bright rooms. It has a high gaming score, making it very responsive for gaming. Sound quality is noted to be better, and it supports the latest HDR formats like Dolby Vision. On the other hand, the Vizio MQ6 '23 is a budget-friendly LCD TV with decent picture quality. It has a lower overall picture quality compared to the Sony A90J. In dark rooms and for sports content, its performance is not as strong. Its LCD panel offers better color volume and is brighter in HDR content, which could be beneficial for bright room usage, but it won't provide the same level of deep blacks as the Sony OLED. This TV does not support advanced HDR formats like Dolby Vision. If you're looking for a TV that offers top-of-the-line picture quality, especially in dark rooms, and don't mind spending more, the Sony A90J may be the better choice. If budget considerations are paramount and you still want a decent experience in a variety of viewing scenarios, including bright rooms, the Vizio MQ6 '23 could be suitable. Give Feedback

The Sony A90J (OLED) is good for bright room, while the Vizio MQ6 '23 (LCD) is only fair.

"In every meaningful department – motion control, contrast, edge definition, detail levels, you name it the A90J puts in a memorably accomplished shift. In fact, the Sony proves outstanding at handling on-screen motion of any and every kind. By the standards of television audio systems, the A90J is a notably punchy and genuinely dynamic performer."

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.
