If you prefer a TV with outstanding picture quality and are willing to invest in a premium product, the Sony X95J would be an excellent choice. It performs exceptionally well for gaming, sports, and in bright rooms, and it also offers great speakers, robust build quality, and extensive quality control. On the other hand, if you're on a budget and need a more affordable option, the Vizio V-Series might be suitable, although it doesn't match the Sony in terms of overall picture quality or performance in dark and bright environments. The Vizio's gaming experience and its ability to handle reflections are also inferior compared to the Sony. If you often watch movies or sports or play video games, especially in well-lit rooms, the Sony may be worth the higher cost. However, for basic TV watching in less challenging environments, the Vizio could serve adequately while saving you money. Give Feedback

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.
