For better overall picture quality and exceptional performance in both dark and bright rooms, along with superior sound, the Sony A95L (OLED) is an excellent choice; however, it is more expensive. It's also better suited for gaming, sports, and movie watching. The Sony X77L (LCD) is considerably less expensive and still offers good performance for sports and gaming. It's capable in bright rooms but doesn't perform as well in dark environments compared to the A95L. Sound quality is not on par with the A95L, and it has a lower picture quality overall. If budget is a key factor, the X77L could be your choice. Give Feedback

The Sony A95L (OLED) is best in class for news, talk, & other TV, while the Sony X77L (LCD) is only fair.
The Sony A95L (OLED) has superior upscaling and SDR brightness, essential for a clear picture when watching news and talk shows, while the Sony X77L (LCD) offers fair performance in these areas but lacks the OLED’s ability to produce deeper blacks and more vibrant colors due to its contrast and color gamut capabilities. Therefore, the A95L provides a more lifelike viewing experience, making it better suited for those types of programs.
