Our Verdict
Sony A95K OLED
Sony X95K
The Sony A95K OLED is a lot better than the Sony X95K. The A95K delivers a much better dark room experience, with perfect inky blacks and no blooming whatsoever around bright highlights. The A95K also delivers a much more impactful HDR experience thanks to its wider color gamut and significantly better color volume, so bright colors are more vibrant and realistic. It also has a much wider viewing angle, so if you're using it in a big room, you can move around and still enjoy a consistent image from the sides. The X95K is significantly brighter, so if you primarily use your TV in a very bright room, the X95K will do a better job at fighting off intense glare.
