LG OLED vs Sony OLED
Posted on 10/8/24 at 1:04 am
Posted on 10/8/24 at 1:04 am
I'm looking to get a new 65" tv. From my research OLED is the way to go. I'm OT poor so I'm looking to stay around $1500. I was looking at the LG C4 OLED Evo but I've seen a lot of recommendations for the Sony Bravia. First, which Sony most directly compares to the C4 and just looking for suggestions on which one would be best for everything as far as streaming, movies, sports and gaming.
I have an LG now and it has been great but I'm not totally brand loyal. I just like to do research and get a lot of input before I make a decision.

Pretty sure Sony doesn't have any OLEDs this year. All their tvs are LED.
All the reviews state Samsung is king OLED this year. LG is using older OLED tech.

As the other poster said, Samsung is killing it with the OLEDs
I snagged this Samsung 65" S90C OLED late last year for around $1500. Looks like it's currently on sale for $1300. It has been a solid purchase and I am very pleased with it.
The updated Samsung 65" S90D OLED is also out there for $200 more currently. I couldn't tell you all of the technical differences but they look to be minimal based on quick google searches.

Recommend LGs. I loved the 77" LG C3 that replaced a Sony X950 so much, I both another 65" C3 that I didn't even need. It is now in the bedroom.
Edit: Just ran across C3 series 65" on sale for $1300 while serching prime day deals. 77" is <$2k Amazon LG C3 link

if you are OT poor, nothing beats size. Get the biggest TV you can fit/afford. LED TVs are great these days and the average joe isn't going to notice the slight difference in blacks.
I'd recommend an 85" sony X90L over a 65" OLED.

A big consideration is seating distance, angle, and lighting.
If your regular viewing distance is like 15 feet away, then you're going to prefer as big a screen as you can get.
If you live in a cramped apartment and sit 5 feet away, then a 65" TV will look huge.
For reference, my eyes are about 11-12' away from a 77" TV and it looks fine.
I have good light control in the TV room, so I opted for OLED. If I was typically watching in a brightly lit room, then I'd argue that you might be happier with QLED.
That said, for $1500, I'd get...
Prime Deal 75" Samsung Neo QLED TV 50% off

We have a 65" LG C3 and love it.
Our living room couch is about 8ft from the TV so 65" works well for us.

S90D, A95L, or C4. Splitting hairs between the 3 titans
The Sony is incredibly expensive and not worth the price difference over the other two (whose prices run in lockstep), and it only does 4k120 unlike the others which support 4k144

Unless you go G4 or G3 with LG you're getting an older WOLED with a lot less color and brightness. And those are even more ridiculously expensive and generally not worth it. LG really needs to stop locking their MLA panels to only the G series.
Samsung and Sony offer better color, brightness and HDR performance because of their superior QD OLED panels.

I currently own a pair of LG OLED b7p TVs. One has pretty significant burn in and is developing lines and one dead pixel. It has been our main TV for 6.5 years and was bought refurbished. Not a bad run.
Wife has particularly enjoyed the picture on the Samsung Frame TVs and their matte display recently (brother and a friend both have them and we recently spent a day or two watching football on them). As an “above the fireplace tv” it is winning the wife approval factor in my house. Plus she likes the idea of family photos as a screensaver.

I have both. On the Sony OLED, it uses Google TV and constantly has to be 'refreshed', apps stopped, cache removed, restart, unplugged, yaddy-yadds.
On the LG OLED, I have never had to reboot the TV, but it is easier to use on a Shield TV Pro (which also acts as a Plex server), and an Apple TV box. However, the Shield TV Pro, being an Android product, has the same issues itself as the Sony TV.
The Google TV experience leaves a lot to be desired.

Have had mine for over 7 years and it's our main TV. Zero burn in. You using it on torch mode and gaming? There's a setting where, while you sleep, the OLED panel goes through a cleaning of itself. I used to work for LG. If you didn't turn that feature on, you will get screen burn in.

LINK this refurbished model on Amazon. Maybe it’s a misprint or a store/web exclusive or something.

Learned that after I burned the Sesame Street logo into the bottom right corner of the screen. Sadly, it wasn’t anything particularly fun or interesting. It’s bad on some colors. Fine on others. Ive lived with it for about 3 years but am starting to get some weird horizontal lines and some mild discoloration on the center of the screen (greenish hue). It is all still passable, but as I mention it, the wife notices it more and more and wants to make a move.

veteran of not one, but TWO Frame TVs.
maybe not the highest tech; but the thin cable handling everything from power to hdmi to ethernet plus the 'art mode' that makes the TV just blend in with the room was too much to pass on.
its mostly for football and the occasional movie; we have a larger TV upstairs.

I have been using a Sony for over a year with no reboots to get apps working. You must have a much older Sony.

3 years. Sony A8H.

I have a Sony 77A80L that I just grabbed on clearance from Costco and when I got that one I retired the 65A80J to the bedroom.
No issues with the Google TV apps, but I use Nvidia Shield so I can get lossless audio to my Denon receiver since eARC only passes DD+ for built-in TV apps.
The performance is nearly identical in the sets. See the Rtings Compare Link to split hairs. Pick the features you like. LG uses WebOS. Sony uses Google TV (AndroidTV). I personally would go for whichever is the best deal. In my case, I had a chance to get Sony 77A80L for 1500 with warranty which was no brainer.
THe LG OLEDs have ATSC 1.0 tuners. The Sony OLEDs have ATSC 3.0/Nextgen TV tuners.

They changed the nomenclature this year. It's called Bravia 8 OLED, and these are the model numbers:
K-55XR80 (55")
K-65XR80 (65")
K-77XR80 (77")
