If you prioritize overall picture quality, especially for movies in dark rooms, and can afford a higher price, the Sony A90J (OLED) stands out. It offers deeper blacks and better dark room performance. However, it's less suited for very bright rooms. For gamers, it also provides a slightly better experience. On the other hand, if you want a good quality TV at a more affordable price and often watch in bright rooms, the Vizio P-Series (LCD) might be more suitable. It won't match the Sony's performance in dark settings but has a brighter screen for well-lit environments and sufficient quality for various content. Give Feedback

The Sony A90J (OLED) is excellent for movies & TV, while the Vizio P-Series (LCD) is good.
The Sony A90J OLED excels in watching movies and cinematic TV thanks to its outstanding contrast, perfect black uniformity, and effective local dimming, which result in truly deep blacks and a rich viewing experience, enhanced by wide viewing angles and good colors out of the box. Conversely, while the Vizio P-Series LCD offers good contrast and fairly good local dimming, it falls short in black uniformity and has narrower viewing angles, which can affect dark scene performance and color consistency when watched from an angle.

The Sony A90J (OLED) is excellent for sports, while the Vizio P-Series (LCD) is only fair.
The Sony A90J provides a better sports watching experience than the Vizio P-Series largely because it has excellent response times and superior motion processing which ensures fast-moving content is crisp and clear. Additionally, the Sony A90J handles reflections more effectively and offers wider viewing angles, making it more versatile for different room conditions, whereas the Vizio, with fair response time and lower motion processing capability, might not keep up with fast sports action as well, and its more limited viewing angles can affect the viewing experience from off-center positions.

The Sony A90J (OLED) is very good for gaming, while the Vizio P-Series (LCD) is good.
The Sony A90J boasts an OLED panel with excellent response times, making it very responsive for gaming, and offers lower input lag, which is preferred for fast-paced gaming.

"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."

"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."
