Sony X900F 65" (XBR65X900F) vs VIZIO E-Series 43" (E43-F1)

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 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.
