The Sony X77L is more affordable, and it performs well for general content like sports and animation. However, its performance in bright rooms and for movies is not as strong due to lower contrast and brightness. On the other hand, the Sony X95K costs more but offers significantly better overall picture quality, especially for movies and in bright rooms, thanks to better contrast and brightness. It is also better suited for gaming with its higher refresh rate. If budget is a concern and your viewing is casual, the X77L is a solid choice. For a premium experience with movies, gaming, or bright-room viewing, the X95K stands out. Give Feedback

The Sony X95K (LCD) is very good for sports, while the Sony X77L (LCD) is only fair.
The Sony X95K excels in sports viewing primarily due to its superior motion processing and response time, effectively reducing blur during fast-paced games, while the Sony X77L has weaker motion handling and slower response time, resulting in less smooth images in action-packed sports scenes. Additionally, the X95K has a better reflections handling capability, improving visibility in bright rooms, and although it has a narrower viewing angle compared to the X77L, its overall picture quality gives it an edge for sports enthusiasts.

The Sony X95K (LCD) is very good for cartoons & animation, while the Sony X77L (LCD) is only fair.
The Sony X95K has better color accuracy out of the box, as well as a wider color gamut and volume, making it superior for vibrant and diverse cartoon and animation visuals. In contrast, the Sony X77L, while still displaying good colors out of the box, falls short in both color gamut and volume, resulting in less impressive animation display quality.

The Sony X95K (LCD) is excellent for news, talk, & other TV, while the Sony X77L (LCD) is only fair.
The Sony X95K excels in watching news and talk shows due to its superior upscaling of lower-resolution content and high SDR brightness, which ensures clear visibility even in well-lit rooms. In contrast, the Sony X77L, while fair in this regard, falls short with less effective upscaling and lower brightness, impacting its performance, particularly in brighter environments.

The Sony X95K (LCD) is best in class for bright room, while the Sony X77L (LCD) is only fair.
The Sony X95K performs better in bright rooms due to its excellent SDR and HDR brightness, which means it can combat glare and maintain image clarity in well-lit environments. In contrast, the Sony X77L has fair SDR brightness and struggles with handling reflections, resulting in a less clear picture when watching in bright conditions.
