Our Verdict
Samsung TU7000
Sony X75K
The Samsung TU7000 and the Sony X75K are both decent TVs, and the best one between the two really depends on your viewing environment. The TU7000 is a better choice for a dark room, as it has much better contrast and dark scenes look better. On the other hand, the Sony is better for a moderately lit room, as it can get brighter to overcome glare.
