Our Verdict
Sony X950G
Sony X95J
The Sony X95J is a bit better than the Sony X950G. The X95J has a much better local dimming feature and better viewing angles. It's also a bit better for gaming, as it supports HDMI 2.1 and has VRR support after a firmware update. The X950G, on the other hand, has better contrast and better black uniformity.
