If you value top-tier picture quality and are okay with investing more, the Sony A95K is a better choice as it excels in almost all areas, especially in dark and bright rooms, making it versatile for different lighting conditions. It is also superior for watching movies, sports, and gaming, delivering exceptional color quality and motion processing. However, if you're looking for a more budget-friendly option and mainly watch casual content like news or cartoons, the Toshiba C350LU can still be suitable, although it performs poorly in both dark and bright environments and offers lower overall picture quality. Keep in mind that gaming and watching sports may not be as immersive on the Toshiba due to its limited motion capabilities and lower picture quality. Give Feedback

"A95K will be one of the highest-performing TVs of the year, if not the hottest TV of 2022. The color on the Sony A95K is the most accurate I have ever seen. Certain hues of red just haven’t been produced on a TV … until now. Perhaps with deeper scrutiny, I may one day find some nit to pick, but in the time I was able to spend with the A95K, I was simply thrilled."
