On the contrary, for serious viewing, the Sony 4K is a clear winner. Back in the day, as exclusively revealed in Club Penton (and nowhere else on the web), are you familiar? with the Sony Pictures Home Entertainment test signals included on Blu-ray discs since debuting back around Spring of 2011*.

Anyway, to see what I mean, take one of your trusty Blu-ray movies that contain the test signals as described above, put it in a Blu-ray player hooked up to a well calibrated Sony 4K tv and do the same with the Vizio and skip through the color bars, the free IEEE Video Resolution Chart (http://www.aig-imaging.com/mm5/merch...olution-Charts) and the flesh tone images of the blonde model (if you got that right with your calibration) and pay particular attention to the long slow panoramic shot of the outdoor landscape with the leaves, shrubs and Japanese style architecture at the end.

I think the Vizio is an excellent value but still not Tier1 quality like Sony and other brands.
