Sony X690E 50" (KD50X690E) vs VIZIO E-Series 43" (E43-F1)

The Sony X690E can upscale the low-resolution 480p/720p/1080p content quite well, without introducing any artifacts which makes it an excellent option for those who want to watch over-the-air broadcasts, old DVDs or Blu-rays.

While hooked-up with a current-generation gaming console, the Sony X690E offers a smooth and fluid gaming experience thanks to its excellent motion handling capabilities and low input lag.

The motion looks smooth and isn't blurry because of the TV's fast response time. It takes roughly 14 milliseconds for the TV's pixels to change their color which eliminates a lot of the unwanted motion blur effect.

The X690E offers exceptional responsiveness thanks to its low input lag. While in the 'Gaming' mode the TV's input lag drops to roughly 20 milliseconds, which means that you will not feel the delay between pressing a controller's button and seeing the actual thing happening on the screen.

The VIZIO E-Series is a good home theater TV because it offers good picture quality when placed in a dark environment where it can reproduce beautiful images that have inky blacks and bright and colorful highlights.

The blacks look good thanks to the TV's high native contrast ratio that measures at 5900:1 which is a decent result for a TV in this price range. Additionally, the blacks don't look cloudy thanks to their high uniformity.

You'll not need to spend time calibrating this TV because its out-of-the-box color accuracy is quite high. The color inaccuracies cannot be spotted by a human eye because of the TV's average color inaccuracy measures at the dE of 1.97.

The VIZIO E-Series TV is an excellent choice for those looking for a large panel to hook up with a computer thanks to the TV's excellent responsiveness and its ability to work with the non-compressed video signal received from a computer.

When connected to a computer, the TV doesn't feel laggy because of its low input lag that measures at around 20 milliseconds - on par with the best TVs in its price range.

Text appears sharp and free of artifacts thanks to the TV's full chroma 4:4:4 support.

Motion looks smooth and free of the artificial effects of motion blur thanks to the TV's low pixel response time. Measuring at 12 milliseconds, the TV's full pixel response time ensures that each pixel needs only 12 milliseconds to change its color fully.
