Sony X900F 65" (XBR65X900F) vs VIZIO M-Series 65" (M65-F0)

The overall picture quality of the Sony X900F is on par with what the best, high-end TVs in its price range offer. The X900F offers excellent performance when it comes to both bright and dark scenes thanks to its ability to recreate bright and vivid colors as well as some deep blacks.

The Sony X900F does an excellent job of reproducing smooth and fluid motion thanks to its advanced flickering capabilities. The panel can flicker at the rate of 720 Hz which can eliminate motion blur. Only a few panels in this price range can flash that fast, which is good, as the majority of viewers will not notice such fast flickering.

Additionally, unlike the overwhelming majority of TVs present in this price range, the X900F can perform local flickering which ensures that the flickering doesn't take its toll on the overall brightness. Worth noting that the regular flickering of an LED panel reduces its brightness by about a half which can de-saturate some highlights and degrade the image.

The 2018's VIZIO M-Series is an excellent option for those who are looking for the heart of their home theaters that would not break the bank because the TV offers decent dark scene performance and an excellent size for its money.

You will not need to spend extra time and effort calibrating this TV because of its great out-of-the-box color accuracy. The TV's average color error dE is only 2.34 which is far below the level that can be perceived by a human eye.
