The Sony X95K (LCD) is very good for movies & TV, while the Samsung Q60A (LCD) is only fair.
The Sony X95K provides a better experience for movies and cinematic TV in large part due to its superior contrast, local dimming, and black uniformity, all very important for deep blacks and detailed shadows in darker scenes, which the Samsung Q60A cannot match as well. In addition, while both TVs display colors well with the Sony excelling in color volume, the Sony also shows a better black uniformity and viewing angles, contributing to a more consistent and immersive viewing even when not sitting directly in front of the TV.

The Sony X95K (LCD) is very good for gaming, while the Samsung Q60A (LCD) is poor.
The Samsung Q60A has a lower response time and a higher input lag compared to the Sony X95K, which makes the X95K better suited for gaming as it can deliver faster and more accurate visual updates with less delay between user input and on-screen reaction. Furthermore, the X95K offers a higher refresh rate, allowing for smoother motion in fast-paced games, while the Q60A's lower refresh rate may result in more motion blur or judder during quick game action.

The Sony X95K (LCD) is excellent for news, talk, & other TV, while the Samsung Q60A (LCD) is good.
The Sony X95K outshines the Samsung Q60A in upscaling content which is crucial for enhancing lower-resolution broadcasts commonly found in news and TV programs, alongside offering better SDR brightness which ensures that everyday content is displayed brightly and clearly. Additionally, the Sony's superior motion processing and more effective local dimming contribute to its excellent performance by rendering fast-moving content smoothly and delivering deeper contrasts for a more immersive viewing experience, whereas the Samsung does well but doesn't reach these heights.
