The Sony A95L, being a newer model, offers improvements over the A90J, such as better overall picture quality, slightly better performance for gaming, sports, and movies, and a wider viewing angle; it is designed for an even more premium experience. However, it usually comes at a higher price. If budget is a concern and you are looking for great quality without the latest enhancements, the A90J is the more cost-effective option and still performs exceptionally well, particularly in gaming. Both models have great sound, support for various HDR formats, but may not be the best choice for very bright rooms. Give Feedback
