The Sony X90J comes at an upper midrange price and offers overall better picture quality, gaming performance, and scores higher in most viewing categories like dark rooms and sports, which makes it a solid choice for a variety of content. It also has better local dimming and HDR performance, as well as a higher refresh rate. On the other hand, the Vizio V-Series '22 is a budget-friendly option with lower scores across the board. Its picture quality and gaming performance are decent, but not at the level of the Sony. It lacks local dimming which can affect contrast and the ability to display deep blacks in dark scenes. However, its lower price point and satisfactory performance in categories like cartoons and animation make it a viable choice for those with budget constraints or less demanding viewing needs. In summary, if you're willing to invest in higher quality, particularly for varied content and gaming, the Sony X90J might be worth the extra cost. If you're on a tighter budget and can compromise on some picture and gaming quality, the Vizio V-Series '22 might suffice. Keep in mind, however, the performance in bright rooms is comparable, so if that's a main concern, neither TV has a distinct advantage. Give Feedback
