The Vizio D-Series is a budget-friendly option that's easy on the wallet and offers good overall picture quality for a smaller screen size of 32 inches. It's a solid choice for a secondary TV in a bright room where the sun might wash out the picture on more expensive models. However, it falls short in gaming, with a poor gaming score, and doesn't have great speakers or advanced features like local dimming, which means it won't deliver the best contrast or black levels in dark scenes. It's also not ideal for wide viewing angles or as a monitor replacement due to its limited resolution and refresh rate capabilities. On the other hand, the Sony X95J is a premium choice with a larger 65-inch screen, delivering excellent picture quality across various content types, including movies, sports, and gaming. Its bright room performance is top-notch, and it boasts superior contrast, brightness, and color accuracy, making it a fantastic option for dimly lit home theaters. The X95J also offers better motion processing, which is great for fast-paced content, and comes with advanced features like local dimming and support for higher refresh rates, making it suitable for gaming and as a PC monitor. The sound quality is better than the Vizio, and it has more HDMI ports, accommodating a wider range of devices. It's also more versatile in terms of HDR support and has a higher chroma subsampling for improved color accuracy in PC use. However, all these premium features come at a significantly higher price point. In summary, if you're looking for an affordable TV for a well-lit room and aren't particular about gaming or cinematic experiences, the Vizio D-Series is a practical choice. But if you want a high-performance TV with a large screen, superior picture quality, and advanced features suitable for a variety of uses including gaming and movies, and you're willing to invest more, the Sony X95J is the way to go.

The Sony X95J (LCD) is very good for movies & TV, while the Vizio D-Series (LCD) is only fair.
The Sony X95J is very good for watching movies and cinematic TV because of its excellent local dimming and contrast, which enhance deep blacks and overall picture quality, whereas the Vizio D-Series is only fair at these tasks due to its poor local dimming, resulting in lower quality contrast and black uniformity. Additionally, while both TVs offer good colors out of the box, the Sony's color volume is better ensuring richer, more life-like colors, whereas the Vizio's fair color volume might lead to less vibrant images.

The Sony X95J (LCD) is very good for sports, while the Vizio D-Series (LCD) is only fair.
The Sony X95J excels in sports viewing due to its superior motion processing and better handling of reflections, which ensures clear images with minimal blur and good visibility in bright environments. On the other hand, the Vizio D-Series is less ideal for sports as it has significantly lower performance in motion processing, leading to potential blur during fast action and its reflections handling is less effective, which can be a drawback in well-lit rooms.

The Sony X95J is distinguished for watching cartoons and animation due to its strong performance with colors out of the box and a better color gamut, ensuring that the animated content appears vivid and true to the creators' intent. On the other hand, the Vizio D-Series, while still good, displays animation with less vibrant color reproduction, particularly noticeable in color gamut, affecting the overall impact of colorful and dynamic cartoon scenes.

The Sony X95J (LCD) is excellent for news, talk, & other TV, while the Vizio D-Series (LCD) is only fair.
The Sony X95J excels in upscaling and has very good SDR brightness, which makes it excellent for watching news and talk shows, as it can brighten the screen to combat glare and maintain detail in lower resolution content. Whereas the Vizio D-Series, with fair upscaling and poor SDR brightness, might struggle in brightly lit rooms and could present lower quality images when watching standard definition content.

The Sony X95J (LCD) is excellent for bright room, while the Vizio D-Series (LCD) is poor.
The Sony X95J is excellent for viewing in a bright room mainly due to its very good SDR and HDR brightness which helps maintain picture quality even under lots of light, paired with good performance in handling reflections. On the other hand, the Vizio D-Series performs poorly in bright room situations because it offers poor SDR brightness, leading to a dimmer display that struggles in well-lit environments, despite its equally good reflection handling.

"A Full HD TV that has the wits of most 4K TVs at a bottom-barrel price point. It has decent black levels thanks to its full array lighting and the above-par brightness will surprise you. Compared to the competition, the Vizio D-Series is probably the most affordable TV out there from a reputable manufacturer which makes it compelling."

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.
