Our conclusion:Jack-of-all-trades or Gaming TV?
Vitus // tvfindr.com
The Sony X950G and the Samsung Q70R offer comparable performance, but there are some core characteristics where the TVs differ from one another. The X950G can handle reflections better, while the Q70R offers a better black due to the increased contrast, which is especially apparent in dark rooms. In dark rooms both perform well, in bright rooms the X950G is even better. This also applies to HDRHigh Dynamic Range – image/video with more dynamic range (contrast range). On the other hand, the Q70R is a better choice when it comes to gaming.
