If you prefer a more affordable TV and are willing to compromise slightly on picture quality and performance in a bright room, the LG QNED90 may be suitable for you. It offers good gaming performance and is decent for viewing sports and in well-lit environments. On the other hand, if you're prepared to spend more for a higher overall picture quality, particularly better performance in dark and bright rooms, and superior sound quality, the Sony X95K is an excellent choice. It also delivers better performance for sports and movies, but comes at a premium cost, typically being significantly more expensive than the LG option. Give Feedback

The Sony X95K (LCD) is very good for sports, while the LG QNED90 (LCD) is only fair.
The Sony X95K is considered very good for watching sports partly because of its very good response time and motion processing, which means faster scene changes look smoother, and it handles reflections better ensuring a clearer picture during the day. The LG QNED90, though fair for sports, falls short with only good ratings in response time and motion processing, with slightly less effective handling of reflections and a narrower viewing angle which can affect the visibility for those not sitting directly in front of the TV..

The Sony X95K performs better in a bright room because it handles reflections very well and delivers both SDR and HDR content with superior brightness. The LG QNED90, while good for bright rooms, is not as effective at handling reflections and has slightly lower brightness in SDR and HDR, but it offers a wide color volume and gamut which are important for accurate and vibrant colors.
