The Sony X95L is a top-tier choice for a bright, vivid viewing experience, especially in well-lit rooms, and excels in gaming, sports, and movie watching, though it comes at a premium price. Its superior contrast, brightness, and color performance will make everything from action movies to fast-paced sports look stunning. However, it's not the best for wide viewing angles, and the sound quality is just average, so you might want to invest in a separate sound system. On the other hand, the Vizio V-Series '22 offers a fair picture quality for a lower midrange price, making it a more budget-friendly option. It's suitable for general viewing but doesn't perform as well in dark rooms or with high-demand gaming. The Vizio's sound quality is also modest, and it lacks the advanced features and peak brightness of the Sony, which means it might not stand out in a brightly lit environment. If you prioritize premium picture quality and have the budget, the Sony X95L is the way to go. However, if you're looking for a cost-effective TV for casual viewing and are okay with some compromises on picture quality and features, the Vizio V-Series '22 could be a more practical choice.

The Sony X95L (LCD) is very good for sports, while the Vizio V-Series '22 (LCD) is only fair.
The Sony X95L excels in retaining the clarity of fast-moving images due to its superior motion processing and response time, both crucial for sports, while also handling reflections better, which is important for brightly lit rooms. On the other hand, the Vizio V-Series '22 struggles with these factors, leading to less clear images during fast movements and being more affected by reflections, although it still offers good picture quality for its price point.

The Sony X95L (LCD) is excellent for cartoons & animation, while the Vizio V-Series '22 (LCD) is only fair.
The Sony X95L stands out for watching cartoons and animation due to its very good colors straight out of the box and a very good color gamut, which means it can display vibrant and diverse colors more accurately. In contrast, while the Vizio V-Series '22 also has excellent colors out of the box, its poor color gamut limits its ability to represent a wide range of colors, making it less ideal for animated content that often relies on rich and varied color palettes.

The Sony X95L (LCD) is excellent for news, talk, & other TV, while the Vizio V-Series '22 (LCD) is poor.
The Sony X95L excels in upscaling lower resolution content and has an excellent SDR brightness, rendering it highly effective for viewing news and talk shows which often aren't broadcast in high resolution. On the other hand, the Vizio V-Series '22 struggles with upscaling and only offers fair SDR brightness, making it less suitable for such content, especially in brighter rooms.

The Sony X95L (LCD) is best in class for bright room, while the Vizio V-Series '22 (LCD) is poor.
The Sony X95L performs better in bright rooms due to its excellent SDR and HDR brightness, making it suitable for well-lit environments, along with its very good handling of reflections, whereas the Vizio V-Series '22, with its fair SDR brightness and poor HDR performance, would be less visible in such conditions. Additionally, the Sony's superior color volume and color gamut ensure more vibrant colors under various lighting conditions, compared to the fair color volume and range of the Vizio.

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.
