It may struggle with image quality in dark rooms, however. However, for a premium viewing experience, especially in brighter rooms or for more dynamic content like sports and games, the Sony X95K is superior but costs significantly more. It has better overall picture quality, supports more advanced gaming features, and comes with better built-in speakers. Give Feedback

The Sony X95K (LCD) is very good for sports, while the LG UP7000 (LCD) is only fair.
The Sony X95K excels in sports viewing due to superior motion processing abilities, faster response time, better handling of reflections, and wider viewing angles compared to the LG UP7000. Although both have decent gray uniformity, the LG UP7000's poorer response time and less effective reflections handling make the Sony X95K a better option for sports enthusiasts.

The Sony X95K (LCD) is very good for gaming, while the LG UP7000 (LCD) is poor.
The Sony X95K has a higher refresh rate and better response time which helps avoid blurring during fast-paced scenes, making it more suitable for gaming than the LG UP7000, which has a lower refresh rate and poorer response time. Additionally, the Sony X95K has lower input lag, ensuring quicker reactions to gaming inputs compared to the LG UP7000 which has higher input lag, potentially leading to a less responsive gaming experience.

The Sony X95K (LCD) is very good for cartoons & animation, while the LG UP7000 (LCD) is poor.
The LG UP7000 delivers poor colors out of the box, which means cartoons and animations may look less vibrant and true to life, also reflected by its poor color gamut and color volume, affecting the richness and range of colors displayed. In contrast, the Sony X95K provides a very good color performance straight out of the box and a better color gamut and volume, ensuring cartoons and animations appear more vivid and accurately shaded.
