VIZIO E-Series 65" (E65-E1) vs LG SJ9500 65" (65SJ9500)

The 2017's VIZIO E-Series TV offer performance that is on par with the best TVs in its price range when placed in a dark room. The TV's reasonably high native contrast ratio and excellent blacks are in charge of its excellent performance in dark environments.

The TV's native contrast ratio of 5307:1 allows the 2017's E-Series to deliver saturated dark scenes.

This TV is capable of reproducing some deep and inky blacks that are on par with what the best LCD TVs offer. The TV's evenness of blacks measures at around 0.5% native standard deviation - only the best LCD TVs can beat that.

There are two main considerations when looking for a gaming TV: Input lag and does moving objects tend to leave a trail behind them. The input lag of this TV is under 40ms which is about average when looking at 4k TV's all the way up to $1500 and beyond.

If you don't live in a very bright apartment, there is really nothing you're giving up buying this 65inch TV for $850 vs the alternatives at $1400+. If you want OLED and all the other fancy features you're looking at well over $1,500 and at basically half that price this TV is a great deal.

The LG SJ9500 makes an excellent for every current-generation gaming console because of it's excellent motion handling capabilities and high responsiveness.

The motion appears smooth and blur-free thanks to the TV's fast full pixel response time that measures at around 15.6 milliseconds. Because of that, the pixel color change happens fast, and no artificial motion blur is introduced.

This TV works very well in rooms where people sit on the side of the TV and view it at an angle because of the wide viewing angles of the LG SJ9500. The colors and brightness levels of the TV start to shift only when the viewing angle reaches 30 degrees, which is a by far better result than what the majority of LED TVs in this price range offer.
