The Sony A90J, an OLED TV, is superior in terms of overall picture quality, including better performance in dark room conditions, which is ideal for movies and high-definition content. However, it is significantly more expensive. On the other hand, the Vizio Quantum Pro, an LCD TV, costs less but doesn't offer the same level of picture quality and may not perform as well in dark environments. If budget is a concern and you predominantly watch in brighter rooms, the Vizio could be a practical choice. For a premium viewing experience, especially for movies in darker settings, the Sony A90J is the better option. Give Feedback

The Sony A90J (OLED) is excellent for sports, while the Vizio Quantum Pro (LCD) is only fair.
The Sony A90J excels in watching sports owing to its superior response time and motion processing capabilities, ensuring clear, blur-free scenes during fast-paced action. While both TVs handle reflections well, the Sony A90J also offers wider viewing angles, making it more suitable for large groups, whereas the Vizio Quantum Pro, despite good reflection handling, falls short in motion processing and has more limited viewing angles which could affect the viewing experience from different positions in the room.
