If you prioritize a more streamlined setup with minimal visible cables, the Samsung QN95B may be a better choice as it comes with a One Connect Box for cable management. However, if you often watch content in brightly lit rooms, the Sony X95J could be more suitable as it handles glare better. For those who value versatility in placement, the Sony X95J also offers three different stand positions that can accommodate soundbars or fit on smaller furniture. On the other hand, the Samsung QN95B has a higher refresh rate which may be beneficial for smoother gaming experiences. Keep in mind, the Samsung is typically less expensive than the Sony.

The Sony X95J (LCD) is very good for sports, while the Samsung QN95B (LCD) is good.
While watching sports, the Samsung QN95B (LCD) offers a great experience due to its excellent reflection handling and a good response time, but its viewing angles aren't as wide, which could limit the view for those watching from the side. The Sony X95J (LCD), on the other hand, has a superior motion processing that ensures smoother action during fast-paced games and very good reflection handling, along with somewhat narrower viewing angles and slightly less even gray uniformity compared to the Samsung.

Although they have very similar scores, PerfectRec considers Samsung QN95B (LCD) to be excellent for cartoons & animation, while the Sony X95J (LCD) is very good.
The Samsung QN95B is considered excellent for watching cartoons & animation because it offers the best colors out of the box and very good color gamut, which is crucial for vivid and accurate animation. Meanwhile, the Sony X95J, while still very good for cartoons, offers very good out-of-the-box colors but with a comparatively narrower color gamut and color volume, resulting in slightly less vibrant animation scenes.

The Sony X95J (LCD) and Samsung QN95B (LCD) are both excellent for news, talk, & other TV.
The Samsung QN95B is excellent for watching news, talk shows, and other TV programs due to its best-in-class SDR brightness, enhancing visibility in bright rooms, and high-quality upscaling capabilities, making lower resolution content appear sharper. The Sony X95J also excels in the same use case, providing very good SDR brightness for well-lit environments and outstanding upscaling for detailed images, with both TVs offering satisfying colors and contrast for a vibrant viewing experience.

Although they have very similar scores, PerfectRec considers Samsung QN95B (LCD) to be best in class for bright room, while the Sony X95J (LCD) is excellent.
The Samsung QN95B excels in bright rooms due to its higher SDR and HDR brightness levels, and excellent reflection handling, which helps preserve picture quality in well-lit environments. The Sony X95J, while also performing very well in bright rooms, is slightly less bright than the Samsung and has very good reflection handling, which means it may not suppress ambient light reflections as effectively as the QN95B.
