The LG NANO90 is less expensive and offers good gaming performance and a wider viewing angle, making it a solid choice if you're on a budget and often have friends over to play games or watch together. However, it's not as well-suited for dark room conditions as the Sony X95J. The Sony X95J costs more, but it excels in overall picture quality, including in bright and dark rooms, making it a better choice for a high-quality movie-watching experience or if the TV is in a room with variable lighting. Its superior reflection handling also means it performs better in bright rooms. Give Feedback
