Our Verdict
Sony X90J
Vizio P Series Quantum 2021
The Sony X90J and the Vizio P Series Quantum 2021 are both great 4k TVs. HDR content looks better on the Vizio because it displays a wider color gamut, gets brighter in HDR, and has better black uniformity. The local dimming performs better overall on the Sony than the Vizio, but the 65 inch Vizio still has a higher native contrast. The Vizio also has much better reflection handling if you want to use it in a well-lit room. The Sony doesn't have any issues with 4k content at 120fps like the way the Vizio does.
