When choosing between the Sony X90L and the Vizio Quantum Pro, consider the following trade-offs: The Sony model generally offers better picture quality, brighter highlights for HDR content, and is likely to have a better sound system but comes at a higher price. It also has a wider color gamut and better gradient handling which is great for movies and TV shows. If gaming is important to you, the Sony has a higher refresh rate of 120Hz at 4k resolution which provides smoother gameplay. On the other hand, the Vizio Quantum Pro is more budget-friendly but has lower picture quality and may not perform as well in very bright rooms due to its lower peak brightness. However, it has a low input lag which is good for gaming, although it supports a lower 4k gaming refresh rate at 60Hz. The Vizio also offers a solid smart platform and is capable of producing deep blacks, which can be beneficial for dark room viewing. If you prefer to save money and are willing to sacrifice some picture and sound quality, the Vizio Quantum Pro could be a suitable choice. Give Feedback

The Sony X90L (LCD) is good for movies & TV, while the Vizio Quantum Pro (LCD) is only fair.
The Sony X90L excels in watching movies and cinematic TV because it features superior contrast, local dimming, and black uniformity, which are critical for deep blacks and detailed dark scenes, but has a poor viewing angle which could reduce the viewing experience from off-center positions. The Vizio Quantum Pro, while having very good color volume and decent local dimming, falls short in contrast and black uniformity, affecting its ability to display true-to-life images in movies, though it offers a better viewing angle, which makes it more versatile for wider seating arrangements.

The Sony X90L (LCD) is good for sports, while the Vizio Quantum Pro (LCD) is only fair.
The Sony X90L excels in sports viewing thanks to its excellent motion processing, which keeps the action crisp, and its good reflection handling, which maintains clear visibility despite room lighting. On the other hand, the Vizio Quantum Pro is rated lower for sports due to its fair motion processing, which may result in more blur during fast-moving scenes, and very good reflection handling, which, while effective, is not as optimal as the Sony's in very bright rooms.

The Sony X90L (LCD) is very good for cartoons & animation, while the Vizio Quantum Pro (LCD) is good.
The Sony X90L excels in displaying cartoons and animation due to its "very good" color performance right out of the box and its "good" color gamut delivering rich and accurate colors. On the other hand, the Vizio Quantum Pro also shows "very good" colors for animation but with a slightly lower color accuracy due to a "fair" performance in colors out of the box, even though it has a "very good" color gamut which is crucial for vibrant animations.

The Sony X90L (LCD) is excellent for news, talk, & other TV, while the Vizio Quantum Pro (LCD) is only fair.
The Sony X90L excels in upscaling lower-resolution content and has a high SDR brightness which is very important for viewing in bright rooms and ensures vibrant colors, making it excellent for watching news and talk shows. In contrast, the Vizio Quantum Pro, while offering very good SDR brightness, rates lower in upscaling and presents colors out of the box less accurately, which might not render news and talk show content as clearly, thus providing a fair viewing experience for these programs.

The Sony X90L (LCD) is very good for bright room, while the Vizio Quantum Pro (LCD) is good.
The Sony X90L is better suited for bright rooms because it has an 'excellent' SDR brightness and very good HDR brightness, allowing it to maintain picture quality despite ambient light; however, its handling of reflections is considered poor which can be a drawback in very well-lit environments. In comparison, the Vizio Quantum Pro has 'very good' SDR and good HDR brightness meaning it's slightly less bright overall, but it handles reflections very well, reducing the impact of direct light sources on the screen.
