If you prioritize gaming performance and have a slightly higher budget, the Sony X90K is the better choice, as it offers superior gaming features and overall picture quality in both dark and bright rooms. However, if budget is your main concern and you're looking for a more affordable option, the Vizio MQ6 '23 can still provide decent picture quality, especially in dark rooms, but it doesn't perform as well in brightly lit environments and may not be as satisfying for gaming due to lower scores in motion processing and input lag. Both TVs support Dolby Vision and HLG, but the Sony X90K stands out with a slightly better build quality. Give Feedback

The Sony X90K (LCD) is good for sports, while the Vizio MQ6 '23 (LCD) is only fair.
The Sony X90K is better for sports due to its excellent response time and motion processing that minimize blur during fast scenes; its reflections handling is also great for maintaining picture quality in bright rooms. On the other hand, the Vizio MQ6 '23 falls short primarily in its motion processing and only offers fair performance in handling reflections, which may degrade the sports viewing experience, especially in well-lit environments.

The Sony X90K (LCD) is very good for gaming, while the Vizio MQ6 '23 (LCD) is only fair.
The Sony X90K is better for gaming because it has very good response time and input lag performance, which are critical for fast-paced gaming, ensuring smooth motion and reactive gameplay. Conversely, the Vizio MQ6 '23 has a fair response time and very good input lag; although it can handle gaming decently, it might not be as smooth or responsive as the Sony for more competitive or fast-action games.

The Sony X90K (LCD) is very good for cartoons & animation, while the Vizio MQ6 '23 (LCD) is good.
The Sony X90K is preferred for cartoons & animation as it displays colors accurately straight out of the box and has a good color gamut, ensuring a wide range of colors are presented vibrantly. In comparison, while the Vizio MQ6 '23 also shows good performance with colors out of the box and color gamut, it falls short in color volume, affecting its ability to represent various shades in different luminosities.

The Sony X90K (LCD) is very good for news, talk, & other TV, while the Vizio MQ6 '23 (LCD) is good.
The Sony X90K is very good for watching news, talk shows, and other TV programs due to its strong performance in upscaling and SDR brightness, while the Vizio MQ6 '23 is good in these aspects but does not reach the same level of performance as the Sony. Although both televisions present colors effectively right out of the box, the Sony X90K provides a bit more accuracy and brightness which can contribute to a slightly better viewing experience, especially in brightly lit rooms.

The Sony X90K (LCD) is very good for bright room, while the Vizio MQ6 '23 (LCD) is only fair.
The Sony X90K excels in bright room viewing because it can get very bright in both SDR and HDR, which combats glare and maintains picture quality, and it handles reflections well. In comparison, the Vizio MQ6 '23 manages reflections less effectively and doesn't get as bright, which may result in a less ideal picture when watching TV in well-lit environments.

"As Sony’s next-to-flagship LCD TV, the X90K series delivers impressive performance for the price. The XR90K had fairly accurate out-of-box color. The TV’s multi-position stand lets you either set the screen flush with any stand its mounted on or elevate it to clear space for a soundbar. With the latter option, you get around 3 inches of clearance enough to accommodate most soundbars. The X90K’s excellent suite of gaming features ranks it up there with the best 120 Hz 4K TVs."

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.
