The Sony X95J is a premium option with overall better picture quality, gaming, and performance in both dark and bright rooms. It has a high-quality sound system and supports advanced gaming features like a 120Hz refresh rate. If gaming, watching movies in a variety of lighting conditions, or having more dynamic audio are priorities, and budget is not a concern, this TV excels. In contrast, the Vizio MQ6 '23 is budget-friendly and while it offers good quality for its price point, it doesn't compare to the Sony in terms of performance. It has a decent picture quality but may not perform as well in very bright rooms or during fast-moving sports games. This TV might be a good fit if you're looking for something more affordable without highly advanced features. Give Feedback

The Sony X95J (LCD) is very good for movies & TV, while the Vizio MQ6 '23 (LCD) is good.
The Sony X95J delivers a more immersive movie and cinematic TV experience by offering significantly better local dimming and wider viewing angles, which enhance contrast and maintain image quality from different seat positions. Conversely, the Vizio MQ6 '23 provides superior black uniformity, which is important for dark scenes in movies, but lacks in local dimming and viewing angles, possibly leading to a less consistent picture quality across the screen and reduced visibility when not seated directly in front of the TV.

The Sony X95J (LCD) is excellent for news, talk, & other TV, while the Vizio MQ6 '23 (LCD) is good.
The Sony X95J excels when watching news or talk shows because it has very good upscaling for lower-resolution content and a very good SDR brightness level, enhancing visibility in bright rooms. On the other hand, the Vizio MQ6 '23 is just good in these areas; while it can display content at a decent brightness and upscale fairly well, its performance in these specific aspects is not as strong as the Sony X95J.

The Sony X95J (LCD) is excellent for bright room, while the Vizio MQ6 '23 (LCD) is only fair.
The Sony X95J is superior in a bright room due to having very good reflection handling, ensuring minimal distractions from ambient light, while the Vizio MQ6 '23 is considered fair, meaning it may struggle more with reflections.

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.
