Our Verdict
Sony BRAVIA 9 QLED
Samsung QN95D
The Sony BRAVIA 9 QLED is better than the Samsung QN95D. The Samsung has very few advantages over the Sony, although it does have a slightly wider viewing angle and better HDR gradient handling. The Samsung also has four HDMI 2.1 ports, each capable of up to 4k @ 144Hz, while the Sony only has two HDMI 2.1 ports that are capped at 120Hz. Otherwise, the Sony is the better TV in basically every way.
