The Sony A95L and Vizio V-Series '22 offer different experiences and are suited for different preferences and budgets. The Sony A95L, being an OLED TV with a higher-end price, offers excellent overall picture quality, superior performance for gaming, sports, movies, and viewing in both dark and bright rooms. It also has better sound quality, a higher refresh rate, and more HDMI ports. On the other hand, the Vizio V-Series '22 is a budget-friendly LCD TV with decent overall performance. However, it has lower picture quality, especially in dark rooms, and doesn't perform as well for gaming or in bright rooms. Its sound quality and refresh rate are also not as high as the Sony's. If you're looking for top-notch picture quality and performance across various types of content and can invest more, the Sony A95L is a great choice. If you're on a tighter budget and need a TV that's adequate for general viewing purposes, the Vizio V-Series may be sufficient. Give Feedback

The Sony A95L (OLED) is best in class for news, talk, & other TV, while the Vizio V-Series '22 (LCD) is poor.
The Sony A95L excels at upscaling lower-resolution content and delivers very good SDR brightness, making it suitable for watching news and talk shows in most lighting conditions. The Vizio V-Series '22, while offering excellent colors out of the box, falls short in SDR brightness and color gamut, and it lacks effective local dimming, which can affect the viewing experience of TV programs, especially in bright rooms.

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.
