Our Verdict
Sony X95J
LG QNED90
The Sony X95J is much better than the LG QNED90. The Sony has a much higher contrast ratio and a better full array local dimming feature, resulting in much deeper blacks in a dark room and better picture quality overall. The Sony is also a lot brighter and has better reflection handling, meaning it can handle more glare in a bright room.
