Our Verdict
Sony X900H
Sony X95K
The Sony X95K is a better TV than the Sony X900H. If you have a well-lit room the X95K is the better choice as it gets much brighter and has better reflection handling, but in dark rooms, the X900H displays deeper blacks. However, the X95K gets much brighter to make highlights pop if you watch HDR content.
