Our Verdict

Sony X85J

Sony X95J

The Sony X95J is much better than the Sony X85J. The X95J has an excellent full array local dimming feature, whereas the X85J has no local dimming. The X95J also has much better reflection handling, a wider viewing angle thanks to the 'X-Wide Angle' layer, and much higher peak brightness.
