The Sony X95K (LCD) is very good for sports, while the Vizio MQ6 '23 (LCD) is only fair.
The Sony X95K excels in watching sports due to its superior motion processing, which leads to smoother transitions between frames, and its better reflection handling that keeps the picture clear in well-lit rooms, whereas the Vizio MQ6 '23, despite its fair performance, falls short in these crucial aspects. Moreover, Sony's better response time and viewing angles contribute to an improved sports viewing experience that won't degrade as much when viewed from the side, compared to the Vizio MQ6 '23 which might show more motion blur and have a narrower optimal viewing angle.

The Sony X95K (LCD) is very good for gaming, while the Vizio MQ6 '23 (LCD) is only fair.
The Sony X95K has a very good response time and good input lag, which are crucial for gaming because they determine how quickly the TV displays image changes and responds to controller inputs, while the Vizio MQ6 '23 has a fair response time and very good input lag, which might be less suitable for fast-paced games where immediate feedback is essential. Additionally, the Sony X95K's higher refresh rate enhances the smoothness of gameplay, making it a better choice for serious gamers compared to the Vizio MQ6 '23, which has a standard refresh rate.

The Sony X95K (LCD) is very good for cartoons & animation, while the Vizio MQ6 '23 (LCD) is good.
The Sony X95K excels in displaying cartoons and animation due to its superior color reproduction out of the box and its robust color gamut, both of which are crucial for vibrant and various hues. Although the Vizio MQ6 '23 also shows good out-of-the-box color accuracy and has a very good color gamut, it doesn't match the Sony's performance in color volume and gray uniformity, which can affect the consistency and depth of colors displayed on screen.

The Sony X95K (LCD) is excellent for news, talk, & other TV, while the Vizio MQ6 '23 (LCD) is good.
The Sony X95K excels in upscaling and offers excellent SDR brightness, meaning it delivers a sharp image and remains clear in well-lit rooms, which is great for watching news and TV programs. The Vizio MQ6 '23, while it has good SDR brightness and upscaling capabilities, doesn't perform as well as the Sony in these aspects, leading to a slightly less optimal experience for the same content.

The Sony X95K (LCD) is best in class for bright room, while the Vizio MQ6 '23 (LCD) is only fair.
The Sony X95K is better suited for bright rooms due to its higher SDR and HDR brightness, which makes it more capable of overcoming glare, and its significantly better reflections handling. In comparison, the Vizio MQ6 has lower SDR and HDR brightness, which could make it appear dimmer in bright conditions, and its reflections handling is only fair, which means it might struggle more with ambient light. Contrast, color volume, and color gamut, where both TVs perform well, are less critical factors in a bright room setting compared to brightness and reflections.

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.
