The Sony X95K is a premium option that typically costs more but offers superior overall picture quality, gaming performance, and bright room performance compared to the Vizio Quantum Pro. It also boasts better sound quality with great speakers, and it's highly suitable for watching movies, sports, and gaming in dark or bright environments. On the other hand, the Vizio Quantum Pro is less expensive and it still offers good gaming performance and features like Dolby Vision and HDR10+ support. However, its picture quality in bright rooms and dark rooms doesn’t match the Sony, and its sound quality is not as strong, with a simpler speaker setup. If budget is a concern and you're looking for good value with decent gaming capabilities and HDR support, consider the Vizio. But if you're prioritizing high picture quality and audio experience for varied content in both bright and dark settings, the Sony might be the better choice. Give Feedback

The Sony X95K (LCD) is very good for movies & TV, while the Vizio Quantum Pro (LCD) is only fair.
The Sony X95K provides a superior viewing experience for movies and cinematic TV because of its higher contrast, better local dimming, and stronger black uniformity compared to the Vizio Quantum Pro, ensuring deeper blacks and more detailed dark scenes. However, the Vizio Quantum Pro offers wider viewing angles and may excel in a room where viewers are seated off to the side, but it falls short on critical elements for cinema-like picture quality.

The Sony X95K (LCD) is very good for sports, while the Vizio Quantum Pro (LCD) is only fair.
The Sony X95K is better suited for sports viewing due to its superior motion processing that minimizes blur during fast scenes and its excellent management of reflections, ensuring clear visibility even in bright conditions. In contrast, the Vizio Quantum Pro, while offering good performance, falls short with its fair motion processing, which leads to more motion blur during fast-moving sports and a lower capability of handling reflections that might distract from the viewing experience.

The Sony X95K (LCD) is very good for cartoons & animation, while the Vizio Quantum Pro (LCD) is good.
The Sony X95K is highly regarded for watching cartoons & animation due to its excellent color performance right out of the box and good color gamut, which means colors are bright and accurate without the need for much tweaking. On the other hand, the Vizio Quantum Pro is also good but has fair performance for colors out of the box, though it does have a very good color gamut and color volume, which contribute to its ability to display a wide range of colors effectively.

The Sony X95K (LCD) is excellent for news, talk, & other TV, while the Vizio Quantum Pro (LCD) is only fair.
The Sony X95K's superior upscaling ability and excellent SDR brightness make it particularly well-suited for watching news and talk shows, ensuring a clear and vivid picture even with low-resolution content. Compared to the Vizio Quantum Pro, which has just fair performance in upscaling and colors out of the box, you would experience less optimal clarity and color accuracy when watching everyday programming.

The Sony X95K (LCD) is best in class for bright room, while the Vizio Quantum Pro (LCD) is good.
The Sony X95K is better for bright rooms due to excellent SDR and HDR brightness, which helps maintain picture quality even in well-lit environments, alongside very good reflection handling that reduces glare. In contrast, the Vizio Quantum Pro, while still good for bright rooms with very good SDR brightness and reflection handling, offers lower HDR brightness, which means it might not preserve highlights as well in very bright settings.
