The Sony A95K offers excellent overall picture quality, superior performance for movies, sports, and gaming, as well as a fantastic dark room viewing experience. It also has a wide viewing angle, which is great for groups. Additionally, it comes with great speakers. However, it's at a high-end price and might not be as bright in well-lit rooms. On the other hand, the Vizio MQ6 '23 is budget-friendly, offers good picture quality, and is reasonably good for movies, and even better for cartoons and animation. This TV is decent for gaming but not as high-performing as the Sony A95K. Its performance drops significantly in bright rooms and its view angles are not as wide, making it less ideal for large groups or wide seating areas. Give Feedback

The Sony A95K (OLED) is best in class for sports, while the Vizio MQ6 '23 (LCD) is only fair.
The Sony A95K excels in areas like response time and motion processing, crucial for a clear and blur-free sports watching experience, along with wide viewing angles and minimal reflections, ensuring a great view from different positions.

Caleb Denison | March 2022
"A95K will be one of the highest-performing TVs of the year, if not the hottest TV of 2022. The color on the Sony A95K is the most accurate I have ever seen. Certain hues of red just haven’t been produced on a TV … until now. Perhaps with deeper scrutiny, I may one day find some nit to pick, but in the time I was able to spend with the A95K, I was simply thrilled."

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.
