Hey everyone! I was gonna do the usual “hey, what do you think?” comment, but y’all are coming through with awesome comments already! Love the discussion on these two amazing TVs. And also digging your choices for movies/scenes to show off TV performance. Should I consider doing a video on best movies/scenes to test/show-off your TV? That might be a nightmare to skirt copyright flags, but I’d at least consider it if demand were high enough.
So when is S95B vs G2 comparison happening? Waiting to buy and can't decide!
@@koopa-troopa me too!
I think the movie/scene list is a great idea!
Do both tv's have the latest software update in the video?
True, 1400 bucks more but how much would LG G2 stand cost? I cannot wall mount for various reason so that would set me back. Personally, I will wait for QD OLED in 75', it's going to be a loooong year.
Another great comparison! Thank you man.
Such a fair and honest comparison. Really appreciate giving enough of your personal opinion mixed with details of each set.
This was definitely a comparison I was waiting for. Love the honesty about splitting hairs and how close these TVs are. I can't wait for 2nd and 3rd gen qd-oled
Personally, I'm looking at the LG B2 Series for my next TV. The G2 might be a little better in some areas, but not a thousand dollars better, in my opinion.
@@supertrexandroidx The B series doesn't compare to the G series.
REALLY helpful comparison. I was worried I was going to be missing out in choosing g2 over a95k, but I think you’re right that it’s not 1400 dollars better. I’ll wait on the comparison to the s95B though!!!
TVs have been getting better and better that its coming down to price and size options, excellent video Caleb, really enjoy your work.!!
Perfect comparison. Covered all the strengths and weaknesses, showed them side by side and the overall value of each. Thanks!
Been waiting for a video comparison between these two tvs. Thanks for making this!
Caleb, you continue to deliver brilliant reviews as awlays! I really like the authenticity in this video and how you approach each TV and each area of comparison. I am reaching the 10-year mark of the then flagship 55" Sony TV, and my hubbie and I are on the lookout for its replacement. Although an avid SONY image quality fan, I must say that we are fond of the G2 as well .... decisions, decisions, decisions...until then, sending you super-duper heatwave greetings from the awesome island of Mykonos in 🇬🇷👍🏼 🏖️☀️🏝️
My Uncle Ned said if a tv is worth dying for it's worth crying for
Lol 😆 🤣 😂 😹 😆
I bought the A80J Christmas 2021 and I use it with my series x and to watch movies. I absolutely love it! I am a loyal Sony TV customer. Other TVs look to punchy with their gamma and colors to me. But LG is really good too!
Caleb, thanks for doing all of these reviews, not only is it helpful, but enjoyable to watch. Who knew researching TVs could be engaging?
Thanks! We try to make them fun to watch. We’ll keep at it if you keep watching!
Thank you Caleb. Everything I needed to know is here. You are a fantastic and reliable reviewer.
Thanks! I try!
Hey Caleb - Great comparison. But you should mention screen uniformity. IMO that is THE single biggest advantage of QD Oled: No more panel lottery and endless RMA's until you get "a good one".
Thanks man,that actually showed in the side by side shots how great both TV's are and how close the race between the two technologies is. To me looking to upgrade from a 65" LG C9 the 77" LG G2 is the no brainer choice. The larger size is what is really going to be the big upgrade for me and while we wait for QD-OLED to come in larger sizes at a more affordable price the WOLED is far from dead yet. LG can keep the stand though,i will be making my own arrangements there.
I went from a 77 inch C9 to a 77inch G2. The C9 is a bad ass TV but the G2 is on another level. I have mine mounted on the wall. It's a gorgeous TV. Gaming looks flawless. Movies look breath taken. I didn't really see a difference with the Sony A95k.
@@BallSoHard78 true, and with lg g3 you get more brightness and also better deep colors. because the mla panel. it dont filter the colors anymore with white subpixel
Caleb You sir are the man !!!! This is the one we’ve all been waiting for.. great comparison. Your the first one !!
Great video.. Thank you for the explanation, always feel a bit smarter every time I watch one of your videos.....
Hi Caleb, I find your reviews very handy and useful, specially when deciding between 2 o or more options, like in this case. Please, I really will appreciate if you can make a video for the 75" TLC Q747 Mini led, Wich I've read it's one of the best (if not the best) tv for it's value in 2022 even compared with high end models from others brands. Once again, thanks a lot, you do an excellent job! 👌
I think what ultimately will be the deciding factor, is the price for 90% of people. Sony definitely has better image processing and overall quality, but you end up paying a lot for it. I'd get the A90J which is last year's model. Even the A80J is an amazing TV. That said, LG's C1 series is cheaper and won't be a big step down in terms of picture quality.
For the vast majority of people, there really isn't much of a difference between the various 2021 and 2022 OLEDs from both Sony and LG.
Better image processing n overall quality? Caleb said they r neck n neck in motion n upscaling. I do believe qd oled is still better but its way too overpriced with too many compromises. S95b takes it easily
I've been sorely tempted by the A80J in recent weeks since the 55" is discounted to $999. Is it worth it?
@@anuzahyder7185 What I meant is that out of the box, with no calibration or tweaking whatsoever, Sony probably shines more than LG. Realistically, most people won't get their tv professionally calibrated.
@@LoveStallion at that price, absolutley! Unless you watch TV in direct sunlight, the A80J is plenty bright!
Not often I sub to channels about this kind of stuff, but this was just so well explained.
Absolutely awesome review. Caleb you touch on so many great points and your reviews are top notch. Thanks again! 😊
Great - Great - Great review.... I think you touched on most points for each. I happened to have selected the LG G2 over the Sony A95K....but for different reasons. First for me, the size was a big reason I selected the LG G2. I needed & wanted a 83" inch television. I had a Samsung 78" - and was not about to go with the Sony who only produces a 55" or 65" QD-Oled models. I realize this the maximum panel sizes at this time - that next year maybe different...but I needed to get a model this year because my Samsung panel was going bad on me after less than 5 years. The other reasons I went with the G2 was the 5 year warranty on the panels and the wall mount. I have only had the G2 a few month....but really like the picture quality and options the tv provided. Thanks again for your GREAT review...look forward more in the future.
I’m considering purchasing the G2 as I really want that panel but I have the socket high up in the wall it’s not resessed. With the included wall mount for the G2 will that work for me. I know it will not be completely wall flush when hung but I’d like to know it will work
I look forward to investing in the pure color of the new QD-OLED panels. However, I might actually wait until 2023 QD-OLED models are introduced before making a decision. I'd like to see if the technology is even better implemented in another year, as well as what sort of discount might be offered on the 2022 A95K. (The current price on the Sony is pretty steep I admit...) At this point we're not that far from Black Friday sales, so it will be interesting to find out how prices on the LG G2 and the Sony A95K will compare by then. The LG G2, the Sony A95K, and the Samsung S95B all seem to be great TVs, and it may be a while before I get beyond "analysis paralysis" when choosing among these 3 models.
Thanks Caleb, for the always detailed and relevant review, this is exactly what I look for to help inform my decision!
I have been looking forward to finally a video like this! I have been comparing these 2 TVs for a long time (since the qd oleds were announced). I have already chosen a LG G2 77-inches but I appreciate the nuance in the video. Thanks
I would say I am somewhat irrationally worried about this non-black issue with the qd oled and have always been amazed by how great the glossy on LG oleds have looked over the years. I think the glossy aspect has maybe been somewhat overlooked in that discussion, it’s a huge selling point for me
Another I think could have been pointed out and was a big criteria for me is that we don’t know how yet durable and reliable qd oleds are because they’re a new technology, whereas LG oleds have been here for a long time and they have had time to figure this stuff out
Great video as always! I'd love to have your thoughts on the Sony A90J vs the LG G2, in the UK/Europe I believe it's staying on for another year.
And price wise it sits with the G2, does the A90Js heat sync stand up to LGs
Love how Polyphia always gets a bit of screen time haha, started saving up for the LG C1, then I moved onto the C2, now I’m focused on the G2, who knows what I’ll want to go for when I actually have nearly 2 grand saved up haha, thanks for the solid review as always!
Save more and wait for next year, QD-OLEDs will get better and bigger.
@@mach1one my first oled was a c1 and it's amazing tv and qd oled isn't everything. The QN90a 65 and above look great. The b model is even better then the a model. But I'm team oled
@@mach1one or wait till 2025, those TVs will be amazing :)
Great video! You explain the technologies well.
I absolutely love your vidoes, accurate information with being direct and to the point. Very happy I followed this channel, quality content. Just a suggestion, I love the way you talk to the camera and make it feel like you are actually talking to me, but you come off a little cold. Wear something more comfortable and feel more relaxed will do wonders.
I ended up getting the G2 77 simply because of the size. It was still cheaper than a 65 inch A95K. Even Vincent says bigger is better. This is absolutely no knock on the A95K of course but getting 98% of the performance for a $1000 dollars is enough justification to go with LG like you said. We're in a very great competitive environment though. No matter which of the 3 super premium TVs you end up with, you'll be happy, which is fantastic.
In most areas of the world G2 77 inch is more expensive than A95K 65 inch, which is overpriced just like S95B because stock is low on both and demand is high. In a few months they will drop 20% or more, as always. New TVs are always overpriced as hell. You could have bought G1 77 inch for almost half the price of G2 and still gotten 98% of the image quality too tho... G1 also had OLED Evo panel and I have seen both side by side in 65 inch, pretty much zero difference. WOLED can't really be improved more at this point. LG should lower prices ASAP or they will get in trouble when QD-OLED comes in 75+ inches next year. I have 2x WOLED in house, 55C9 + 65G1 and I want a QD-OLED next for sure, when I can get it in 75-77 inch. LG display did not really do much to WOLED since 2019 models TBH... My C9 looks almost identical to my G1 and I have seen C1 + C2 + G2 too.. Time for a price drop for WOLED across the board IMO..
@@lort6022 I had a 55C1.. was left disappointed & just took it back, despite it's low price of £899, because it turned out to be dimmer & less impactful than my 5yr old C7 in hdr movie content! Mine didn't have the Evo panel, and so the only thing I noticed an improvement was in shadow detail & motion. Really hoping the C2 (with EX panel) or even the C3 will present a bigger improvement.
Same exact reason I went with 77 G2 as well
I disagree, I still think the Sony A80J from last year completely blows the image of even the LG G2 out of the water.
@@drunkhusband6257 Sony 4 life
Thanks for the excellent overview Caleb. I've been a Sony fan... have owneed two in the past and they've been great. It's hard not to be impressed by the A95K, but $1,400 is a big difference. I'll give the LG G2 serious consideration after watching this. Thanks again!
Give it some time . The TV will go down in price.
@@bramdesmet8411 not much. A90j is still expensive. This is sony.
@@bramdesmet8411 This is true, but by that time, the G2 would have also dropped as it already has, and the price difference even with the A95K dropping in price would still be huge, putting a person right back to where we’re starting in the price convo now.
@@anuzahyder7185 A90J is not really expensive anymore and have been cheap many times. Sony is milking their customers mostly yeah. They use dated SoCs and Wifi + gimps connectivity (low amount of HDMI 2.1 ports among other things). Just sad that Sony uses old tech when LG and Samsung can do it; 4x HDMI 2.1, WiFi6 or better. Sony tax is really not worth it in most cases. And the gaming performance on sony is mediocre, highest input lag of all and no gaming osd.
I really like the way the Oladance wraps around the ear!
I ended up getting the LG G2 and I have been blown away with it 🤯
Fantastic and informative video. Would appreciate your thoughts on the better gaming TV between the G2 and S95B. Cheers!
S95B is slightly faster and has more pop because it's brighter with better color. LG 1ups it by having Dolby Vision game mode. To me the HDR presentation just looks better on the Samsung but LG ticks all the boxes.
Caleb Denison, I just want to say that I love your videos! Thank you for making them accessible and interesting.
I'm torn between the G2 and A95K. Something tells me I should take the best of the WOLED and use it until the best of the QD-OLED comes out in 10 years time.
A95K if want LG G2 type TV buy A90J
@@RobertK1993 A90J is not as bright as G2. Especially not in SDR content.
Wow, great review of top two OLED TVs. Details in all important aspects. Thank you.
Great comparison Caleb! Looking forward to seeing you in person at the TV Shootout.
As an LG CX owner, it's hard for me not feel a little bit jealous of the Sony. :) Perhaps in a few years as my TV feels long in the tooth and QD-OLED matures it might make sense to upgrade. It's generally exciting to see this new tech delivering a noticeable improvement.
QD-OLED is pretty much mature or they would not be selling it. They have been testing for years in labs.
I went to Best Buy in Southern California and looked at all the TVs there and the Sony A95K (it was actually the one just below it, the A85K?) was the best one to me. It was so amazing I stood there staring at it for a longtime just for my enjoyment, something I'd not given to other TVs .
Great job!! I cant wait for the next video!
great job, appreciate the review/comparison.
Probably the best 2 TV's this year. The Samsung QD OLED might be in the mix too. Too bad we don't get the awesome Panasonic OLED TV'S in the USA. I've heard they are exceptional in picture quality.
actually better than Sony as test show's so Panasonic Sony then LG
@@ThereIsOnlyOneRandom yeah that's what I've heard Panasonic is actually the best of the 3.
@@ThereIsOnlyOneRandom Panasonic didn't beat Sony Bravia A95K QD OLED
I think it’s a realistic comparison and canceled out a lot of the negative noise in the background that people have for either choice. I want the A95K, better remote, superior stand which I will need, more than enough gaming capabilities and better onboard sound. The picture processing and colour capabilities have me more convinced at this time. For a tv that I will have for years I’m prepared to pay more for what seems like a better quality package. Both are awesome but these are my thoughts on why the Sony is the one. Excited to get one.
The LG is a better screen Honestly.
@@tobysalter7443lol it’s not, I have both.
I see a big improvement in your video quality, how you present the information in concise and fun/engaging way..
Got the 77" LG GX last yr and it's just beautiful. Combines with a 7.2.4 klipsch, the sound & pictures is....no words. I'll buy my next TV in 5 yrs
Indeed....i use mine as a computer monitor as well as gaming and tv....and its fantastic so ill wait till something extraordinary comes out to make the change...maybe the Samsung Odyssey Ark 55" perhaps
@@dannywhite5366 what's that ?
Nailed it Caleb! 100% spot on…
For me.. the exemplary color performance on the 95K is huge and not a small difference compared with the best WOLED’s, but the size limitations and cost on the 95K maybe a deal killer for many. Like I said before, can’t wait for larger sizes of this TV! “The Best” is almost always disproportionately more $… BTW, agree 100%, a G Series looks beautiful when wall mounted, it really does!

@@mattcampbell9876 welcome
I bought the A80J last December and was not disappointed. Beautiful picture and the sound, without a sound bar, will make you take notice. Even if I had waited a year I would still get the Sony QD OLED. In my book it’s either Sony or go home empty handed.
Bought the Same TV 65" on Black Friday and yes great TV. Best ever owned.. QD-OLED might be nice but it is 1st Gen and don't think there is a big of difference as you think.. Brightness is the biggest Difference I seen in person..
Do u have issues with keeping wifi connection on your a80?
Sony or go home!!?? Haha!! I love it
Bought the 77 inch A80J may 2021. Don't feel I'm missing out at all. Amazed every time I watch something
However A80J is NOT a QD-OLED.
Damn 🔥 what a review man, amazing ✨ you're the boss 👍🏼 definitely 💯 so good you explained
2 minutes into watching your video( now ), I must say you are not nervous at all.
hats off to you.
Fantastic job as always. I just subscribed. I would like to see a comparison between the s95b and the G2. I hope that the video comes out soon. I think the Sony is just too far out of reach for the price points.
S95B probably best TV ever made
Hi Caleb! I really enjoy and appreciate your videos on these topics. I've been considering between these two TVs, and here's a question you didn't address - for the exact same money, you can get a 77" G2 or a 65" A95K - for watching movies (many/mostly HDR) in a dark room, which would you prefer? Typical 8 foot-ish viewing distance from couch to wall.
Also, I'm not a gamer at all so that isn't a factor.
Great review! Love your videos… 😀
Have the LG C1 65 and just love it
I use STAR TREK: THE MOTION PICTURE to test my TV's. Wonder how those deep space blacks would work on a QD-OLED in a room with lights? With that bluish screen? Currently use a Z9J and A80J.
I’ve used a bunch of space movies in similar settings and never felt the blacks were blue-ish.
Looks like perfect blacks
Why would you ever watch a film with the lights on? Sacrilege!
I felt that LG did mean work on the G2 to stay competitive. That thought plus the size and other benefits are why I chose this over Sony. Love competition as we consumers always win! Also looking forward for the new QDOLED to mature over the years for me to upgrade down the line 😉
VC777… you are seeing this exactly the same way I am. I’ll take that 10yrs experience and 5yr panel warranty today and look to QD in the future. 100% agree with your conclusion.
same here ✅️
Great minds think alike, brothers
Couldn't agree more. 77+ size, 1/3rd the cost, 5yr warranty, wall mount included, and one of the best pictures available? I'm all over it.
Same here. Flush wall mounting my G2 today and will enjoy it for the next couple years while QD OLED mature. Then when it's time to upgrade, there should be a ton of options and sizes available, and it'll feel like a substantial upgrade.
Thanks Caleb also for the oledance pitch, I had actually been looking for something similar.. Many thanks once again, are these going to be tested by the way?
Very well explained. Best TV review this year.
Why is it you never mention that all those buttons you constantly complain about on the LG Remote are actually hot keys? Making the remote very customizable and flexible, unlike other TV remotes and you don't even need to use those buttons, you can simply use the Click Wheel,, or the 4 buttonsat the bottom of the remote. All the complaints reviewers make about the LG Remote is just stupid. It's one of the most flexible TV remotes you can get with numerous ways to use it. My fear is the LG is going to eventually listen to people like you and eventually give us an awful redesign next year.
I really don't get the hate for lg controllers. They feel great in the hand. Have custom hot swaps. A cursor thing. Like what people are just being to picky
I hate that LG don't have Play/Stop button. Or maybe I didn't found it. I used Sony for years and I like sony's remote more. It looks and feels more modern then LG.
It sucks
Great review Caleb. Both the G2 and A95K are above my $$ limits for a TV. Plus still super happy with the A80J 65” and C1 55” that I currently have.
I bought the LG G2 65. Started my 4k collection with: 1917, Hacksaw Ridge, Interstellar, The Revenant, John Wick 1-3, batman dark knight trilogy, and the James Bond craig series, im completely blown away!!!
Awesome review as always
With the way the quality of TV panels have improved, I believe that the projected theater image can longer compete. You review shows just how far it has gotten with the quality of the image. I just read a review about how TV panels can expose the limitations of digital effects in films that projection can't. Who knew TV would finally give a better image than the movies.
Really, prjoceted image of laser projector, 150" screen?
Now Lets Compare the Sony A95K VS the Samsung S95B at 1211 Firmware Where Samsung Hits Above 1400nits Because Samsung Capped their TV at 1000 nits on 1302 Firmware
1211 can do 1500nits

Thank you Caleb. 🙏🏻Awesome review. With that said, what happened to “this TV is fire” ‘S95B’ in regards to the mix?😉
The Fire service appeared in the form of LGG2 and Sony A95K and did a bit of dampening!
Finally, a video that makes sense you don't have to be nervous that's the video that everyone has been waiting for, yes the video is super late, but finally it's here, and I would use Venom 2 for showcase purposes for sound and picture quality if I would have to show the TV. 😁
I know this is going into the minutia, but it would be interesting to see which ATSC 3.0 tuner in the televisions is better, since I am a cord-cutter. Simple test, see how well they pick-up local stations in the area and how many.
May be a silly question. What HDMI cable do you use for these test comparisons?
ez fix get both;) That is what i did. 83" G2 for the living room and 55" A95k for the bedroom. (i'm still waiting for the A95K tho...)
Thank you for the video Caleb!
Quick question: bang for your buck, which would you choose - LG’s G1 or G2?
Thanks for this, looking forward to G2 vs S95B, really don’t know what to do, it’s mainly for PS5 but want to have it at lest 3-4 Y. 👍
For me it came down to size. I wanted 77” or bigger. If your ok at 65” goSony. Want bigger go G2.
Get the S95B for sure. It blows LG OLED away in gaming, it looks and feels like twice the brightness and colors are just insanely vivid on the S95B. I have tried BOTH side by side in my local store, with 4k bluray, ps5 and some youtube - S95B won't it all however in some stuff G2 is close but I would never pick the G2 if price is close. G2 has to be 20% cheaper to even consider.
I think next year or whenever they produce more sizes WRGB will be left in the dust. LG sells that tech and this G2 if you need a TV right now is the finest rendition but may be it's ultimate effort. Samsung sells the QD-OLED panels which Sony and Alienware chose over WRGB. QD-OLED is the way to go in the coming years but for those who want something other than 55 or 65in waiting one more year or so to live with next gen TV tech may be the smarter move plus it will force the current market to reconsider their pricing if we collectively wait. $1400 extra is a lot. LG's crown on OLED is hanging on for the moment but has already lost in color luminance. What a great time to be a tech enthusiast!
As someone who owns a lg C9 and the alienware qd oled monitor, the differences between btw the two are minimal. Minimal!!
I just wall-mounted the Sony Bravia X80K 85 inch TV. I sit about 12 feet from the screen in the primary viewing location and I have to tell you this thing is absolutely crystal clear and beautiful and my vision isn’t the greatest. I had a Sony Bravia 65” on a stand there for 10 years and it’s now in the master bedroom because it’s still going strong which is why i went with Sony again. Anyway, I don’t even have my surround system set up yet and even the sound is phenomenal from this thing. Not a lot of bass, but still very crisp and clear sound. That’s just my take on this particular TV so hopefully that’ll help somebody. Cheers, great video!

Great review Caleb
As I said from the beginning, I'll buy into QD-OLED once larger sizes come out probably first of next year. Both great tv's and you can't go wrong especially if you're sources are Bluray or High quality Sreaming.
I got the A95K, trust me, after A90J it is a big step forward. You just won't get these colors on G2.
Hope you got 2 units 😩😩 cos I'm supposed to be looking at one these babies
It’s a big leap even compared to the A90J? In accuracy or just brightness?
Would say it’s worth upgrading from a90j or wait for the next year ? My a90j didn’t complete 1 year yet
@@alaaar2349 i couldn't wait and upgraded. This tv should stay with me a bit longer i think as it's gorgeus.
@Paul Bouchard Damn, you got one too? But the A90J already looks so good, so the A95K is really that amazing. How's the depth?
Thanks for this!!! Your pivot points/details really help make a confident decision. As a gamer, who watches in a bright room, and uses appleTV, the LG seems to be the clear winner for me.
Good comparison. Caleb, thanks for not yelling.
As good as the A95K is it being $4K vs. $2.8K for the G2 is the issue. Would like to see the S95B thrown in the mix which is currently the same price as the G2.
2800 for G2??? I'm seeing 4k
🤦♂️. You're probably talking about a different size. I was thinking 77"
Me getting g2 at 2000$ 65 inch model .is it good deal or i go for sony 65 inch a80k .which is at 2300
Great comparison. For me it comes down to size and I really like the G series flush wall mount. It looks really nice and it will cut down on that back tv dust that builds up over time
Definitely G2🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
Caleb great job, have been enjoying your reviews and comparisons for a while, this was completely fair I thought and helped me learn more about them. I agree, $1400 is too much of a premium, I would love to hear your 2 cents on 'the sweet spot' literally, what premium do you think would make it basically even in choosing either TV? I'm going to pick a random number, $600 more for the Sony I'd say it'd make sense to consider it, anything more than that and yeah, the G2, especially with the C2 as well existing, its too hard of a sell. Personally I'm on the hunt for a C1 or G1 if I can find a good sale, and am considering a 77" coming from a 65" TCL LED from ~2013 so, that I think I'd be happier with than an equally priced 65" Sony (or slightly less expensive C2 or G2).
Love the more pragmatic approach to these later reviews from Caleb. We have Vincent for the really detail within detail stuff, so I really appreciate seeing these comparisons from this viewpoint where watching in a bright room is not automatically dismissed as "doing it wrong" ;)
Unfortunately I think I possibly AM that person who will be constantly looking for raised pitch blacks in an ambient light filled room. (You can't un-see that sort of thing). But I'll certainly be willing to give it a go based on Caleb's opinion here. (Won't ever be able to ignore the leaning stand though. Would wedging something under the back edge make it unstable?)
One thing that just came to mind. Does having the bottom edge of the Sony panel RIGHT against the unit it is standing on not cause a slight distracting reflection from the surface of the unit being illuminated (in a dark room)?
I really have to hand it to you Caleb - you’ve honed your craft with these kinds of videos over a long period of time and you’re very near, if not in fact at, the top of your game. It’s not easy to do what you do and you richly deserve to arrive at 1M subs (which I’m sure will happen very soon). Bracketed by Vincent Teoh, at one extreme, and, say, the RTINGs staff at another, you’re (IMO) among the very best at what you do: make the media tech. decision tree clear, palatable and understandable to everyone from the casual viewer, to the avid gamer to the imaging enthusiast. You ably address the fattest part of the market for this content type and you consistently do it with aplomb. Bravo! 👏👏👏

Still rocking our 2013 Panasonic Viera VT. We had a first moment of, "Oh crap, do we need a new TV?" when the Netflix app just started to activate with no prompts over and over. Factory reset seems to have done the trick, but I'm starting down the replacement TV rabbit home. Main need is screen reflection because even with blinds the living room is bright enough that we see ourselves and our window treatments over the picture image during the day, not completely unwatchable, but certainly not great. Would like the G2, but cannot wall mount because of room setup. But don't want another just because it comes with a stand.
Love your channel. Honest, factual, and most importantly unbias. Question on LG C1 (purchased this March) - do you have a cheat sheet regarding settings for the average viewer (me) available for reference. Thnxs ahead of time. Dale
Not familiar with telegram me
Is the sony processor noticeably better than the the LG. I especially like sports and action movies.
I would like to get the g2 but don't want to sell myself short with the processing!
Got the 77 inch c1. I have no complaints with it. It will hold me over for at least 5 years. Which should be enough time to allow more refinement and new tech to come out . Can't help but wonder if LG has held back progress, when there was no competition.
I hope that with competition, LG bring better technologies to its OLED TVs.
@@darthmoonx3 Agreed. Congratulations on your LG C1. Enjoy! :)
@@darthmoonx3 LG 8f G3 has no Samsung QD OLED panel with heatsink it's finished no one will buy it over A95L or S95C
Your reviews are very good.
Wow, and I just got the LG B2 OLED which has killer reviews and I couldn't be happier. The picture is beyond anything I have ever seen before. And for $2000, for 65".
The emphasis on the pros and cons of each tv and the other videos were beyond helpful. I’m leaning towards the LG G2 because of the clean wall mount look. I assume the G2 wall mount is also a cleaner look than the Samsung S95b, is that correct?
YES IT is Russell
I picked up a 77 G2 for less than a 65 A95K at BestBuy. A larger size TV with 99% of the performance of its competitor for a fraction of the price is just too hard to beat. Even though they weren't standing right next to each other I could hardly tell the difference between the A95K and the G2 on display. The included mount was a big selling feature for me as well since I want to mount my soundbar and this will make it so my Arc will be perfectly positioned in front of the TV while still being very secure on its fixed mount.
whats the difference between G2 and C2?
The G2 has a heat sink, higher brightness (average picture level) higher peak brightness L, better sound system, but is meant to be wall mounted unless you buy a desperate stand.
The G2 has a 5 year warranty I believe too, and is the Woled flagship model. I wish I'd bought the G2 instead of the C2 but I needed a smaller size than it came in.
If you are spending a lot on a TV I'd go G2 if I had chance again, as the heatsink can help panel longevity, mitigate the ASBL and ABL, and less chance of burn in theoretically due to better thermal management/ heat dissipation.
Just be aware that the claimed brightness increase of C2/G2 is for 55 inch+ models. I think the lesser sizes do have a bit of brightness increase vs. last year's C1/G1 but not the quoted 30%.
I didn't realise until it was too late but at least got the evo panel model which uses Deuterium as a more stable organic compound leading to better longevity, and possibly less burn in.
They're both WINNERS! And the person who buys any of these 2 TVs is a WINNER! Amazing review btw
Excellent!
I still wish that you would cover how easy it is to get these monsters serviced by NON-"Authorized" service shops.
I used to be a Sony dealer, 2.5 million years ago (or so it seems) LOL and Sony was excellent to deal with to get service manuals, parts lists and parts.
It would be excellent for people to have an idea, at least, as to what to expect after the warranty is over and when a set fails.
We live in a throw-away society and it just hurts to "throw away" a TV that cost so much, even 4-8 years.
I Love LOVE HD, so that won't change. But as far as quality goes and longevity, I miss the old analog sets that could last 15-20 years.
In our basement and in my Lab, I have some old sets that I just can't toss out, even though they no longer work due to no more analog TV available.
One is a Sony 8" TV that I used for video editing. Still works perfectly and it's well over 20 years old.
I also have a Hitachi, 5" set that is around 38 years old. LOL Yup, still works....
There's even an old RCA (when RCA was actually RCA) that is around 20 years old. And old "under cabinet" color set for the kitchen. Yup, still works.
Of course, none of these are in use anymore, but I'm hanging onto them for memory's sake. LOL
I was surprised to hear you say the G2 has a higher APL, and not surprised at all to hear the a95k pushed more color volume. I would have thought the QD OLED panel would have been brighter in all regards.
I think i go for the lg g3 mla this year. dont like the qd oled samsung s90c. trash software. it will be same brightness and colors as qd oled i think.
@@janduller4722 wait for the reviews, and what Sony offers... Then "think"
@@AndrasMihalyi sony a bit better processing for movies. For gaming lg and samsung qd oled the best. Its not worth the 1500 euro more. And only 2 hdmi 2.1 ports its scandalous
I'm sure the Sony A95K is phenomenal but I'd take the LG G2 because of the bigger sizes I can get it in and it has more range/flexibility within it's features.
I have the LG G2 and love it.
@@davidcalci974 Cheers to you, bro 🍻. What size is your TV? Being that you have the LG G2 and know first hand about its great features, if the Sony A95k came in the same size as your G2 would you have purchased that instead?
Great comparison ! but what kind of speakers are you displaying?
I love the demo video with the beauty of Bulgaria. Churches, Castles, views. And great review! I think I’ll get the LG.

Because both these TVs are great in every way, I’m focused on upscaling as my determine factor when making a purchase decision. In the past you’ve claimed that Sony is far and away the best at upscaling. In this episode you’re saying it’s a draw. Really? LG has caught up to Sony’s processing power?
I'm doing a dedicated theater room in my basement with an 83 inch. Would you guys recommend the LG G2 or A90J since the A95K only maxes at 65 inch. The room is dark with a tiny window behind which we are putting black out blinds
Fyi I have an A80J in 65 inch in other room and the colors and blacks are absolutely amazing with Dolby vision ❤️
i would recommend the sony if budget is not a constraint. i think the color vibrancy of the sony panels really add a lot to the experience. an added bonus in some of the newer sony tvs can be used as a center channel speaker in a surround sound setup.
LG will be great in a light controlled environment. Save a buck and spend on the sound system
Last I checked the A95K goes up to 77”
Great video! Thank you!!
I love the stunning picture of OLED. My concern is burn in especially with station identifications or info bars at bottom like news or sports. Is this a problem over time or has this been licked? If it is still a high concern then I might go with mini LED but they have blooming effects and possibly stuttering panning. Lastly OLED would have diminishing returns on image quality after lets say 5-6 years does it hold up or yeah time to replace? Great reviews thanks.
I think that color washout at off axis angles should have been addressed. QD OLED is clearly superior to WOLED.
True
Sony will discontinue WOLED panel buying from LG Display next few years
