The Sony X90L provides a better overall viewing experience, particularly for movies and gaming, with higher quality motion handling and a 120Hz refresh rate, which is twice that of the Vizio V-Series' 60Hz. For bright rooms, the Sony X90L is superior as it has better reflection handling and gets brighter to combat glare. However, considering the cost, the Vizio V-Series is less expensive and still offers a respectable picture quality. If budget is a primary concern and you're looking for a decent TV for everyday use, such as watching TV shows or news, the Vizio may suffice. If you're willing to invest more for a higher performance in fast-moving content and a better experience in well-lit environments, the Sony is the better choice. Give Feedback

The Sony X90L (LCD) is good for movies & TV, while the Vizio V-Series '22 (LCD) is poor.
The Sony X90L provides a high contrast ratio and effective local dimming which are essential for a deep black level, making it well-suited for movies and cinematic TV; its very good black uniformity further enhances this experience. In contrast, the Vizio V-Series '22 lacks local dimming and has lower black uniformity, reducing its capability to deliver the same level of movie and cinematic quality.

The Sony X90L (LCD) is good for sports, while the Vizio V-Series '22 (LCD) is only fair.
The Sony X90L outperforms the Vizio V-Series '22 for sports watching due to its very good response time which helps maintain clarity during fast-moving scenes and its very good motion processing that reduces motion blur. In contrast, the Vizio has a fair response time and motion processing, which means it's less capable of handling fast-paced action without some blur, and it may not handle reflections as well, affecting its performance in bright rooms.

The Sony X90L (LCD) is very good for gaming, while the Vizio V-Series '22 (LCD) is poor.
The Sony X90L stands out for gaming due to its excellent response time and low input lag, alongside its higher refresh rate, which enhance the gaming experience by providing quicker on-screen action and smoother motion. On the other hand, the Vizio V-Series '22 performs poorly in gaming because it has a lower refresh rate and its response time and input lag are less optimal for fast-paced games, resulting in slower reactions and potential motion blur.

The Sony X90L (LCD) is very good for cartoons & animation, while the Vizio V-Series '22 (LCD) is only fair.
The Sony X90L delivers very good out-of-the-box colors and a good range of colors (color gamut) which enhances the viewing experience for cartoons and animation. In contrast, the Vizio V-Series '22 shows excellent out-of-the-box colors but falls short with a poor color gamut, which limits the richness and range of colors displayed during animated content.

The Sony X90L (LCD) is excellent for news, talk, & other TV, while the Vizio V-Series '22 (LCD) is poor.
The Sony X90L excels in upscaling lower resolution content, ensuring that news and talk shows look sharp even if they're not broadcast in high definition, and it provides excellent brightness for viewing in various lighting conditions. In contrast, the Vizio V-Series '22 struggles with upscaling, potentially resulting in less clarity for standard definition content, and only offers fair brightness, which may disappoint in brighter rooms.

The Sony X90L (LCD) is very good for bright room, while the Vizio V-Series '22 (LCD) is poor.
The Sony X90L is superior in a bright room because it has excellent SDR and HDR brightness, which makes the picture appear clearer and more vibrant in well-lit conditions, whereas the Vizio V-Series '22 is rated as fair in both SDR and HDR brightness, leading to a less brilliant picture in the same conditions. Furthermore, the Sony handles reflections poorly; however, the Vizio, despite being rated fair in reflection handling, cannot overcome its lower brightness capabilities, reinforcing the Sony's advantage in bright environments.

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.

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.
