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 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.

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.
