The Sony X93L is priced higher but offers better picture quality, gaming performance, and a higher refresh rate which is better for sports and action-packed content. It also performs well in bright environments. The Vizio MQ6 '23, on the other hand, costs less but has lower performance across the board. Its picture quality and gaming performance are adequate but not as strong as the Sony X93L's. This model also doesn't manage as well in bright rooms. If budget is less of a concern and you are looking for higher performance in a variety of settings, the Sony X93L would be a solid choice. However, if you are looking for a more affordable option and can compromise on picture quality and performance, the Vizio MQ6 '23 could be sufficient. Give Feedback

The Sony X93L (LCD) and Vizio MQ6 '23 (LCD) are both good for movies & TV, though the Sony X93L (LCD) is somewhat better.
The Sony X93L excels in watching movies and cinematic TV due to its superior local dimming and black uniformity, which enhance contrast and depth in dark scenes, while the Vizio MQ6 '23 also performs well with movies and cinematic content, bolstered by its good black uniformity and color accuracy out of the box. However, the Sony model may provide a notably better viewing experience in scenes requiring high contrast and subtler shading, but the Vizio, despite its lower contrast and local dimming performance, still offers a commendable viewing experience for its price point.
