If you watch a lot of movies and value better sound, the Sony X95K has a superior speaker system. It's also often slightly less expensive than the Sony X95J. Both TVs perform very similarly in terms of picture quality, gaming, and sports content, but the X95K may offer a slight advantage in bright rooms with its higher brightness. However, for dark room viewing, they both have almost identical performance. If you're on a tighter budget and don't mind a somewhat weaker speaker system, the X95J can save you some money while still offering a premium experience. Both options are great for mixed usage, but for those who prioritize sound and a bit better performance in bright conditions, the newer X95K could be the better choice. Give Feedback

Although they have very similar scores, PerfectRec considers Sony X95K (LCD) to be best in class for bright room, while the Sony X95J (LCD) is excellent.
The Sony X95K has slightly higher SDR and HDR brightness, which makes it better suited for brighter rooms where extra brightness helps to maintain picture quality. Both the Sony X95J and X95K handle reflections well, but the superior brightness of the X95K will offer a better watching experience in well-lit environments.
