The Sony X77L is a more cost-effective option and might serve you well for general viewing in a variety of settings; however, its performance in a sunny room may not be as good and its refresh rate is lower, limiting its potential for fast-moving sports or gaming. The Sony X95L is priced higher, offering a better overall viewing experience with enhanced picture quality—especially important if you watch a lot of movies or use the TV in brightly lit environments. As a premium model, it supports a higher refresh rate, which is excellent for sports and gaming, and its miniLED technology provides better contrast. Give Feedback

The Sony X95L (LCD) is very good for movies & TV, while the Sony X77L (LCD) is poor.
The Sony X77L struggles in movie and cinematic TV viewing due to its lower contrast and poor black uniformity, which are crucial for deep blacks and shadow detail, while the Sony X95L excels because of its superior contrast and excellent black uniformity, providing more depth and realism to the picture. Additionally, the X95L’s local dimming greatly enhances its ability to produce those darker scenes effectively, a feature less capable in the X77L.

The Sony X95L (LCD) is excellent for cartoons & animation, while the Sony X77L (LCD) is only fair.
The Sony X95L outshines the Sony X77L in animation viewing primarily due to its superior color gamut, which provides a wider range of colors, and its excellent color volume, enhancing the richness and accuracy across different brightness levels. While both TVs have very good colors out of the box, the X77L falls short with only a fair color volume and poor color gamut, which means it doesn't display colors as vibrantly or accurately, especially in scenes with varied luminosity.

The Sony X95L excels over the X77L in displaying news and other TV programs due to its superior upscaling and higher SDR brightness, which make a clearer and brighter picture. Additionally, the X95L's better color accuracy straight out of the box, wider color gamut, and more effective local dimming contribute to an overall more vivid and contrast-rich viewing experience.
