If you are looking for a more affordable option, the Sony X77L is the lower-priced TV. However, in terms of overall picture quality, the more expensive Sony X95J has a clear advantage, with better performance in both dark and bright rooms, making it suitable for a variety of lighting conditions. The X95J also excels in providing more vibrant colors and better sound quality due to having more powerful speakers and a higher number of HDMI ports for additional connectivity. For gamers, the X95J has a higher gaming performance score, which means lower input lag and better response times, which are crucial for a smooth gaming experience. If you watch a lot of sports, this TV also has a higher sports content score, offering faster motion processing and better upscaling of lower-resolution content. If you are a movie enthusiast or enjoy watching high dynamic range content, you'll appreciate that the X95J supports Dolby Vision, which can enhance the viewing experience by offering more dynamic colors and contrast. In summary, while the X77L is a viable option if budget is a primary concern, the Sony X95J offers superior picture quality, better sound, and enhanced gaming and sports viewing experience, but it comes with a higher price tag.

The Sony X95J (LCD) is very good for sports, while the Sony X77L (LCD) is only fair.
The Sony X95J performs better for watching sports compared to the Sony X77L due to its superior motion processing and quicker response time, ensuring smoother fast-action scenes, alongside better reflection handling which helps maintain clear visibility even in well-lit rooms. Despite the X77L having a wider viewing angle, which is beneficial for larger groups, its reflection handling and motion processing are less capable, resulting in a fair sports watching experience compared to the very good experience on the X95J.

The Sony X95J (LCD) is very good for gaming, while the Sony X77L (LCD) is poor.
The Sony X77L has a poor response time, which is a major downside for gaming as it can lead to motion blur during fast-paced scenes, and it supports a refresh rate of only 60Hz which might not be as smooth for high-speed games compared to higher refresh rates.

The Sony X95J (LCD) is very good for cartoons & animation, while the Sony X77L (LCD) is only fair.
The Sony X95J displays animation with superior color richness and accuracy, with good color gamut and color volume, making colors pop and remain consistent at different brightness levels, which is instrumental for animated content which often uses a wide and vibrant color palette. The Sony X77L, while still offering very good colors out of the box, falls short with its lower contrast and SDR brightness, impacting its ability to deliver as vibrant and distinct animations, especially in well-lit environments.

The Sony X95J (LCD) is excellent for news, talk, & other TV, while the Sony X77L (LCD) is only fair.
The Sony X95J delivers superior performance for news and talk shows due to its excellent upscaling capabilities and higher SDR brightness, which means it can better preserve detail in lower-quality content and is brighter in normal lighting conditions compared to the Sony X77L, which has fair upscaling and good SDR brightness but may not display as sharp an image or be as visible in well-lit rooms. Additionally, the X95J's better out-of-the-box color accuracy, color gamut, and local dimming enhance picture quality, making it well-suited for vibrant and consistent images, whereas the X77L's performance in these areas is more modest.
