The Samsung QN95B has superior gaming performance, with better response and input lag times, plus supports a higher refresh rate which is beneficial for fast-paced gaming and high frame rate content. Nonetheless, it lacks Dolby Vision support, which means you won't be able to take advantage of that format's dynamic metadata for enhanced picture quality in content that offers it. On the other hand, the Sony X95K offers better sound quality and Dolby Vision support, which can improve your movie-watching experience if you have Dolby Vision content. However, it has a lower motion processing score, indicating the Samsung might handle fast action scenes slightly better. Both TVs are similarly priced and perform well in bright rooms, but the Samsung has a slight edge in this aspect due to its higher peak brightness. If gaming or watching content in a bright room is a priority, the Samsung might be the better choice for you, while the Sony could be preferable for watching movies with Dolby Vision support and superior built-in sound.

The Sony X95K (LCD) is very good for sports, while the Samsung QN95B (LCD) is good.
The Samsung QN95B has excellent motion processing and response time, which contributes to its good performance for sports viewing, but its viewing angles are not as wide as some other TVs, which might limit visible quality from off-center positions. The Sony X95K offers very good motion processing with a commendable response time as well, and handles reflections better, which makes it very good for sports viewing, especially in bright rooms; however, both models have somewhat limited viewing angles and gray uniformity which might affect consistent image quality across the screen.

Although they have very similar scores, PerfectRec considers Samsung QN95B (LCD) to be excellent for cartoons & animation, while the Sony X95K (LCD) is very good.
The Samsung QN95B excels with colors out of the box, meaning you can expect vibrant and accurate colors immediately upon setup, and it also has a very good color gamut, ensuring it can display a wide range of hues that are crucial for animated content. In contrast, the Sony X95K is evaluated as having very good colors out of the box, which is slightly less optimal than the Samsung, and a comparably good color gamut, which may limit its ability to showcase certain colors as effectively as the Samsung QN95B.
