If budget is a concern and you still want a high-quality picture for a range of content, the Sony A90K is cost-effective and provides very good gaming, movies, and sports experiences. However, it's less suitable for very bright rooms. On the other hand, the Sony A95K offers superior overall picture quality, especially with its unique screen technology enhancing colors, and performs better in brightly lit environments. It also has better sound quality with great speakers, but it comes at a higher price point. Both TVs support similar features, but the A95K's enhancements may justify the extra cost if picture and sound quality are your top priorities. Give Feedback

Caleb Denison | March 2022
"A95K will be one of the highest-performing TVs of the year, if not the hottest TV of 2022. The color on the Sony A95K is the most accurate I have ever seen. Certain hues of red just haven’t been produced on a TV … until now. Perhaps with deeper scrutiny, I may one day find some nit to pick, but in the time I was able to spend with the A95K, I was simply thrilled."
