The Sony X93L is a premium-priced TV known for outstanding performance in upscaling, color accuracy, and reflection handling, making it a top choice for varied content including movies and gaming, and is well-suited for bright rooms. It also has a higher sound quality and comes with voice commands. On the other hand, the more affordable Vizio Quantum Pro offers a solid viewing experience for its price range but trails behind on factors such as peak brightness and sound quality. If cost is a major factor and moderate performance is satisfactory, consider the Vizio. However, if budget allows for a higher-end choice and you desire an overall superior performance across most viewing conditions, the Sony X93L is advisable. Give Feedback

The Sony X93L (LCD) is good for movies & TV, while the Vizio Quantum Pro (LCD) is only fair.
The Sony X93L delivers better contrast, local dimming, and black uniformity compared to the Vizio Quantum Pro, resulting in deeper blacks and more detailed shadows which are crucial for a cinematic experience. However, the Vizio offers wider viewing angles which could be beneficial in a wide seating arrangement but sacrifices performance in the areas most critical to movies and cinematic TV.

The Sony X93L (LCD) is very good for sports, while the Vizio Quantum Pro (LCD) is only fair.
The Sony X93L excels in sports viewing due to its superb motion processing and reflection handling, which maintain a clear and consistent image during fast-paced action and in well-lit environments. In contrast, the Vizio Quantum Pro's performance is merely fair, as it lacks the superior motion handling and reflection management of the Sony, and also falls short with a narrower viewing angle and less consistency in gray uniformity.

The Sony X93L (LCD) is very good for cartoons & animation, while the Vizio Quantum Pro (LCD) is good.
The Sony X93L is very good for watching cartoons and animation due to its good performance in colors right out of the box, meaning minimal need for calibration, and having a very good color gamut that renders a wide spectrum of colors accurately. On the other hand, the Vizio Quantum Pro is good as well, delivering very good color gamut and volume, but falls slightly behind with just fair color accuracy out of the box, which could require some calibration for optimal performance.

The Sony X93L (LCD) is very good for news, talk, & other TV, while the Vizio Quantum Pro (LCD) is only fair.
The Sony X93L excels in upscaling lower resolution content and displays brighter images in SDR, making it very good for viewing news and talk shows, and these qualities are further supported by its good display of colors straight out of the box. The Vizio Quantum Pro, while fair in these aspects, may not handle upscaling as efficiently and its colors might not be as accurate initially, which can affect the clarity and appeal of standard TV programming.

The Sony X93L (LCD) is excellent for bright room, while the Vizio Quantum Pro (LCD) is good.
The Sony X93L outshines the Vizio Quantum Pro in a bright room largely due to its superior SDR and HDR brightness, which ensures the screen remains visible even under strong light. Furthermore, the Sony manages reflections better, but both TVs are rated very good in this regard; however, for contrast and color performance, which are less critical but relevant to the viewing experience, they are quite comparable with the Vizio having a slight edge in color gamut.

About Sony
Sony stands as a highly experienced and widely trusted TV manufacturer, earning a reputation that surpasses all others. A Japanese company, Sony has been making TVs for far longs than it has been making Playstation game consoles. 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. They include Google TV software with all their TV sets, which grants access to the largest selection of apps available and they also include Bravia Core which is a movie streaming platform specifically for Sony TVs that offers higher picture quality by using more bandwidth.
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.
