If you're an LG owner with a history of buying LG OLEDs get the G3. I've bought and eventually returned a S95B and S90c because while the colors were spectacular on the QD OLEDs, overall I preferred LG's upscaling and picture processing to Samsungs. That said the G3, while it does't quite get as bright in color volume as QD OLEDs, it got "close enough" for me. With QD OLEDs you could be watching a show you always watch and someone wearing a yellow shirt pops more than you ever noticed before. While not "quite" as vibrant on the G3 this can type of pop can still be achieved. The secret sauce is in the Fine Tune setting inside the color options. From there you can adjust the amount of Saturation and Luminance on Red, Green Blue, Yellow, Magenta and Cyan. While not as vibrant as it is on a QD OLED when editing the Fine Tune section makes individual colors pop much more than what you've probably noticed on your previous OLEDs. Making adjustments to Fine Tune in additional to the overall HDR brightness of the television and LG's upscaling and processing have appeased my FOMO from QD OLED. If you've got the money to spare and want to switch to Sony go for it, it's probably a great set, but if you're used to the LG OLED ecosystem, you'd be good with the G3. Side Note: If you are a Vivid User you will have to turn down the OLED Brightness to get a better looking image (and still bright). Set it to maybe 65 and work your way up from there if needed. You all may want to consider setting your color to 50 as a starting point and dialing back up as needed.

Judging by the detailed and helpful comment. I would like your advise on my buying decision - Sony A80L vs LG G3 55" sets - i am getting the G3 at a cheaper price than Sony. My usage are mostly watching Netflix, KZbin, prime video and high quality HDR content from web - Now I see that Sony A80L has dimmer display overall - but there's a realistic feel when I watch Sony - hesitant to go to a LG, but the price difference and a dimmer Sony A80L is pushing me towards LG G3. I know its compared to A95L and not A80L - A95L is significantly expensive here in India than the LG G3. My question to you is - it seems that LG brightens up everything a lot and sometimes in my opinion - that takes away the cinematic look - do you think LG TVs can be tuned slightly to look more like Sony? PS - I have been Sony only user but thinking to get a LG G3, will try to go to a store but their curated content makes them hard to judge. Thanks in advance for your time in reading and replying (if you do :-)) Have a great day!

Excellent video. Whatever you guys did with your recording was spot on. I can actually see the differences between the two TVs. As others have said, the small advantages the Sony A95L has do not equate to the huge price difference from the G3. Side by side in store, the Sony was a nicer display. It was sharper (perhaps too sharp for some) and definitely brighter with more contrast. However, the build quality/chassis were not as nice as the LG and the LG was only hairs behind the Sony in terms of brightness. In addition, I believe the LG has an edge with gaming and G-sync compatibility, and I trust WOLED tech more than QD-OLED in terms of reliability and burn-in. Got a G3 at a sale price that almost would have let me buy 2 for the same price as 1 A95L at retail price and still 1,500$ cheaper than Sony's black Friday prices. A no-brainer.

I purchased a 77" G3 at launch. I love the G3 and the number of HDMI 2.1 inputs. I prefer the more natural colors to the digitally enhanced looking color on the QDOLEDS. The color volume on the G3 becomes too saturated for me if I turn the color up past 60, but can look as comparable to the QDOLEDS. I can tweak many options to add more contrast too with the black level adjustments. The G3 also has less chance of image retention than QDOLEDS.

I've always went for "the best performance you can get for the amount of money you want to spend" kind of deal. Sony's top of the line, while tending to be the best out there, also come with such a high price difference from the competition, that they are not good investments. Want premium and money doesn't matter? By all means go for it. But imo LG offers the best deal overall, best quality and performance for money spent, and that's what I went for. Bought one 55" G3 just a few days ago. It's actually still sitting in it's box, unsealed, because (of all things) the table stand has yet to arrive 🤦♂ (deliveries around Black Friday are as problematic as ever). Anyway, I got the 55" G3 for ~1380 Euros while Sony's same size A95L was ~2400 Euros in my country - definitely not worth the difference, for me at least. I want an OLED with a higher brightness in HDR than my old LG 48" CX can provide (a TV that resisted heroically 💪for 3 years of very intense use as a PC monitor, especially for work but for gaming too). That's what the G3 can give. It may not be the most color accurate TV, but neither was the CX and I didn't mind it at all. And for the price difference compared to the A95L, I can get a bunch of other stuff for my PC. One more thing to consider especially if you use a TV as a monitor: text clarity. This is where the RWBG panel on the G3 is much better than QD-OLED used by Sony - technology that, due to it's subpixel layout, displays color fringing around texts. RWBG panels are not perfect for text either, they are still not plain old RGB, but I've used the CX for 3 years, with Text Clarity enabled, and it's been very good, with only minor text issues and only in specific scenarios. I'll get to using the G3 in a few days, and see for myself how it fares - here's hoping it's gonna last at least as much as the CX, that, despite it's mileage, is still functioning quite well.

@@michaelwyckoff7593 About Samsung: right before I got the LG CX some 3 years ago, I bought a Samsung Odyssey G9 - the second iteration of the 49" curved screen, the first one with a 1000R radius IIRC . Bought it after reading and watching many stellar reviews on it, that were all chanting how awesome it is. Only to discover the complete opposite. HDR was abysmal mostly because of it's very basic local dimming (6 zones i think), it had random flickering in various instances, the screen emitted loud popping sounds when heating up after power on, or when cooling down after power off, and a few other problems. And no, my monitor actually wasn't an unfortunate rare case, since I found a lot of other similar complains on forums.... after the fact however. But after 4-5 days I got fed up, returned it and got the LG CX - which was an absolute night and day difference. Since then I'm staying away from Samsung displays like a groundhog from the light. Besides, as I mentioned in my post, I'm using the display as a monitor, and QD-OLED displays cause text fringing. QD-OLED is used by Sony - and of course by Samsung since it's the screen manufacturer that Sony actually buys it's displays from. So QD-OLED in general is a no go for me, be that Sony, Samsung or others.

Your Sony OLED review is about the 6th one I have viewed regarding the A95L. I ended up pulling the trigger on a 65” Sony A95L after I found a rare discount of $400 (TV was released in late August 2023). The Sony replaced our 2016 LG OLED curved TV and WOW, I am blown away by the picture quality! I feel the Sony is worth every penny of the purchase price. TIP: purchase the Sony A5000 sound bar and SA-SW5 300w bluetooth subwoofer to help take your TV viewing to a movie theater level.

@@RobertK1993 That is incorrect. Generally speaking, LG, who have been making OLED panels longer and in much higher volume than any other companies, are the most reliable in terms of burn-in. Those Rtings tests are meant to sift through all the one-off experiences to try and aggregate some unbiased and useful information from hard data. Just because it didn't match your experience does not mean LG TVs are unreliable or debunk the Rtings tests. Owned 3 LG OLEDS now, two of which are over 3 years and 9,000 hours old.

I've seen both in person, bought a 77" G3 last week and have no regrets. Ratings came out saying that QD OLED is vastly more prone to burn in and G3 came with a 5 year warranty.. UI is customizable and is snappier, 4 HDMI 2.1 ports (for 5k this should be mandatory), Sony has some bugs that it has yet to patch and LG has a good great track record of keeping up with updates (even for really old models).. While it's obvious in person the Sony has a better picture quality I just couldn't justify the 1.5k difference.. If I felt Sony was a better daily driver and going to last for the long haul, that I could trust Sony to issue regular updates. *Maybe* if the A95L comes down in price and the build holds up over time I'll sell my G3. But for now, speaking from someone who isn't made out of money, the G3 is an absolute no-brainer.

I always enjoy your reviews because your opinions are valid pertaining to the pros and cons of products. I have the A90J which I am content with for now and I really can't justify upgrading just for the picture enhancements. The only issue I have with the A90J is that backgrounds that should white are gray which is quite a distraction. The A95L is my choice no doubt if I decide to upgrade. The side by side comparison clearly shows the A95L 's picture quality is far superior than the G3 in my opinion. What I am really interested in pertaining to the A95L is the sound quality because it has been improved and that has to be some feat. The sound on my A90J is off the charts incredible. The only thing it lacks is bass, but once you immerse yourself into what you are watching you don't even notice it. I find myself lowering the volume a couple of times because it seems to get louder over a period of time. I have the complete Bose 900 setup so sound is not a issue. I always set the Bose volume at 21 which is perfect for me but the volume on the A90J does not need to go above 7. It is just that stellar. Excellent review as always.

Your right its not accurate. I pointed out that at the cost of their motion smoothing enhacement. It's actually ruining the picture of any real elements that should be retained. When you factor in Full Bandwith 2.1 x 4 HDMI, better more stable OS, Google won't last long in Sony TV before it goes the rate of a SNAIL pace. LG gives 5 Year warranty as standard, with panel replacement. Forget the built in sound on the Sony, it's still crap. When you pay money like this for a good tv, you want to be putting proper HiFi sound system with it. Sony didn't even manufacturer the OLED display tech, always partaking in someone elses table, they are in it for the cash grab to steal from someone elses tech parade. There are so many ways to combine non emmisive display tech with other tech. It had to be LG that realized it. They can't even include DV aswell as including HDR10, HDR10+, HGIG like LG can. Despite what people say, Dolby Vision is still the best form most widely used HDR format and its being filmed in by professional directors for most streaming content. LG is more subtle and truthful to source material, LG and Samsung have less motion blur aswell. Sony's processing is not better despite what people think. Their eyes are being deceived by fakery. They only added a fake TAX for it when it doesn't exist. The extra frames their interpolation inserts is innacurate. I prefer LG any day when they don't mess with the picture too much. What Sony are doing is making a cartoon carbon copy then over exagerating what is really their, actually isn't their to begin with.

I own both an LG OLED 65B7P and an 77"cx 😂 my 65B7P is on its second screen due to burn in from CNBC. Unfortunately, the second screen which fortunately LG replaced for free under warranty, has become burned in again and out of warranty. I'm debating between the Sony A95L, LG G3, or the LG G4 or Sony newest high-end oled for 2024. I'm just concerned about burn in, and I also have play a Sony Playstation 5 and watch Netflix movies. Suggestions?

I own both G3 55 inch since release in my secondary vacation residence and A95L 77 inch since release in my primary home. Both are stunning TVs. You cannot go wrong with any of them. At the end of the day i prefer the Sony. Motion processing on Sony is unrivaled and color accuracy and details are superior. Get the one you are willing to spend your money on. If the Sony price tag does not bother you go for the Sony. I paired mine with an HTA9 surround system and subwoofer using the Sony TV as center channel which works great. I paired my G3 with a DSC9S soundbar with the optional surround speakers which works very well too but the Atmos effect on the Sony config is superior.

I went days after days looking at reviews from Sony, lg, samsung, TCL and Hisense top trims and I finally ended up buying the LG G3 for the gaming processor, reliability and the price. But I would say it sits on the second place being Sony #1 and Samsung 3rd place. I will tell you, LG is good, but not outstanding as they make it sound. If I had the budget at the time, I wouldve bought the Sony A95L or the X95L without a question. And even after owning the LG G3, I just reaffirmed my desire to get the Sony instead. You can see the quality difference and definition of the images on the Sony vs the LG G3. You can notice the kinda of a white or pale look on the LG G3, and that's exactly how it is. The LG is incapable of getting a better color contrast without looking too white or too dark, but the Sony does it perfectly and that's what I wanted. And to be honest, even though people say people have different liking, I dont think anyone wouldn't prefer a tv that gives a near perfect contrast without looking pale or too dark, making the images or colors look vivid and realistic, and that's what the Sony does right. I really wish I could've afford it, but it was a 1k difference too much for the same size, enough to buy a new set of washer and dryer, and that's exactly what I did instead. I just had to bite the bullet on this purchase, not being able to get the best thing out there,.. not including them 8k resolution tvs worth over $5k

The Sony has a worse picture.. Proof. Look closely again. Then again. Then again. With better eyes at the two picture scenes. The LG processing and upscaling is as good as the Sony now. LG uses less artificial trickery to make the effect of natural motion while retaining details so they are not lost, Sony is unnatural. I can see with my own eyes more definition on the G3 in this review on my LG E9. There is more definition details in the shadows on the hills, mountains, gravel and stones. The Sony motion image enhancer even misses real elements that are there on distant objects on the G3 like the Windows in buildings. The G3 clearly defines everything better... the Sony can't even make out the underwater cave opening in the sea through water, its all blacked out. The G3 clearly shows all these details. And you say the Sony has better processing. It used to be the case, not anymore. Maybe better motion but at the cost of weird unnatural artifacts.. GO figure.

Excellent review but leaves out a very important point. I am evaluating both an LG G3 and a Sony A95L. Both have brightness limiting algorithms. They're both bright TVs, but the brightness limiting algorithms limit what you can use. This is especially a problem with the Sony which is not as bright as the LG. I may set it to a level that looks really nice and bright, but within 10 minutes the image is dimmed substantially and sometimes you can't even see what you need to see. Why wasn't that addressed in the presentation? I would be interested.

You got to be kidding right. It's clear the picture settings on the G3 is dialed down in this comparison video.

I don't know what to choose between 77G G3 or Sony 65G A95L. For LG I will have to buy a stand and a remote control, it has cheap plastic - that's a disadvantage. I am advised to take 77 "G3, as the viewing distance is for me about 4 meters. But I like Sony more and as shows and in terms of design. Everyone says that 65" will not be enough for 4 meters. So I'm thinking that maybe I should wait for another 5-6 months, maybe the price of Sony will drop.

I sit 12’ from my 65” G3 and I find it’s still to big. I’m always moving my eyes to keep up with the scenes as I like to take in everything on the screen and not just the middle. I’d say go with a 65” and use the rest of your cash to buy a nice denon 11 channel AVR unless you already have a receiver. Could always buy more speakers or better yet get power amps for your current setup. I run an 11 channel setup with 4 in ceiling speakers on a denon AVR with multiple power amps. Currently pulling a full 1500 watts off a dedicated 25amp breaker wired just for my audio. A TV is a great buy, but remember that 50% of an AV experience is the audio itself and nothing compares to a full channel setups. Just some food for thought as I prefer smaller clearer displays over larger ones as it allows me to go with a full audio setup.

if your LG G3 has pink tint issues, banding and uniformity issues, there's something wrong with that panel. Swap it for a non defective one. I heard about possible pink tint issues on the 65" C1 but got one anyways and mine is perfect, with none of those issues. I've been reading that those quality issues are very, very rare on the C3 and G3 models. In the first couple of weeks after buying mine last year, it went on sale for about $200 less and considered swapping it to get the better price but decided not to take my chance on getting one with an issue. It's always possible for TVs over 55" to get damaged in shipping.

Technology changes so fast with displays and I have a dedicated theatre room with an 11 channel Atmos setup that includes 4 in ceiling speakers. So yea I like my clean clear displays as I buy a lot of 4K UHD bluray movies. I spend way more time in my theatre room than in my vehicle and 2 months of vehicle payments cost more than my annual tv budget lol. Only live once and you can’t take all that paper with you, spend it and enjoy it is my modo. My basement is full of flat screen from the last 20 years, all in their original boxes.

I really enjoyed this review; thank you very much. I have a question concerning professional calibration of both these tv’s. I myself have 2 plasmas still. My Pioneer PDP-LX6090 (which has died now) never needed calibration, since (iykyk) that picture quality is phenomenal out of the box. My Panasonic TX-P55VT60 I was never really satisfied with, because of the colours and brightness … UNTIL I had it professionally calibrated. Just WOW; the difference was phenomenal; after calibration, the tv seemed like an entirely different one. So good. Now to my question: when doing a comparison like you did here, would it not be desirable to do an extra segment in your clip, after you had both tv’s professionally calibrated? I get that is not for everyone, since not everyone will have this done, but isn’t that the only way to find out what any tv is actually capable of? I’m looking to buy a new tv and the guy who did the calibration 2 years back recommended LG OLED at the time, so that’s why I’m scanning KZbin now and how I found your video. What’s your take?

Well - the 65" LG G3 is 1000€ cheaper than the Sony A95L in 65" over here. Also all the footage on the tv´s is completely unnatural with burned out whites, much to crazy contrast, colors, etc. - the new brightness booster are NOT to make these already too bright parts even more brighter - the brightness booster is for the overall panel-brightness for lowering the contrast to about 15 to 25 of 100. THATS where your movie picture gets natural and wonderful looking like in the cinema or with a beamer/projector at home. Before this technology the overall picture was much too dark when you lower the contrast-setting. But NOW...with the brightness booster...its fine and you can have a super sharp hdr 4K picture with a "natural" look - FINALLY. The problem is most people dont care - they buy the tv, put it an the wall and think its right that oled-light and contrast are on 100 from 100 - but its NOT. They think. "Ok, thats how the picture looks nowadays!" - but thats not the truth. And after some hours they because their eyes begin to burn and getting watery. People need to understand that TVs nowadays are high-tech and you have to deal with this technology to understand it and get a good picture! ... I wonder why you dont see it by yourself because your self-recorded videos with the surroundings look absolutely incredible and perfect - and that's exactly how the picture of the tv´s should in your videos too. So crank down the contrast on the TV and the real power of brightness boosting will shine! ;-)
