The Sony X95L (LCD) is very good for movies & TV, while the Vizio Quantum Pro (LCD) is only fair.
The Sony X95L provides a superior movie and cinematic TV experience mainly due to its exceptional contrast, local dimming, and black uniformity, which are crucial for deep blacks in dark scenes. In contrast, the Vizio Quantum Pro offers lower performance in these key areas, particularly black uniformity, resulting in less impactful dark scene reproduction, even though it manages decent color reproduction and brightness.

The Sony X95L (LCD) is very good for sports, while the Vizio Quantum Pro (LCD) is only fair.
The Sony X95L is better for watching sports due to its superior motion processing, which leads to clearer images during fast action, and its better handling of reflections, ensuring a clearer picture in various lighting conditions. In contrast, the Vizio Quantum Pro, while offering wide viewing angles, falls short in motion processing, which can result in blurrier images during dynamic sports events, and has lower response time, which can impact the smoothness of fast-moving content.

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.
