I'm limited by physical space for screen size. The 48" C1 appeals to me the most and will probably be the one I go with.
Thanks for the video. I have my A80J in the box. Looking forward to setting it up!
Pure respect for the GN shirt

I have the 55” C1 and absolutely love it. Having had Sony TVs for the past 20 years I decided to try LG and have no regrets. Stunning TV.
Did you purchase your by at Best Buy or Costco with a warranty
Looking at 55 LG too. I What do you think of the audio? And would you recommend a soundbar. Will it fit under the TV? Thanks
@@simulation8083 I have no complaints with the sound, it’s punchy, full of bass and the spatial sound is good if you like that sort of thing. You can get soundbars that are ultra slim but regular ones won’t fit. There’s only about an inch between the screen and the bottom of the stand.
@@simonuk1213 Is that AI sound of LG as good as it claimed ?
@@willyyimable I don’t use it but it’s not terrible.
Great comparison video!!! Upgrading from my Sony 2015 50" W800C and Pre Ordered my 65" Sony A80J in Australia yesterday. I was tossing up between these two models for so long. Watching reviews non stop over the last few weeks. Went with the A80J as its mainly being used for movies and I've already spent $2000 on a Bose sound bar system and with the adjustable legs on the A80J to accommodate the sound bar should fit perfectly under. Cant wait to get it now especially after watching this review just made me feel so much more confident with my decision.
Thanks for the reviews guys. Good choice, noooice. I'm in the same boat in Aus and having watched numerous reviews, read forums i will also be grabbing the A80J "65 but will likely wait to around Black Friday. Was hoping to get the 77" but at 10k 😳 and double the 65" the pricing is a bit of a joke.Edit- Ordered the 77" this week as got it for under 6k. Really looking forward to my first OLED.
Too bad bose sound bars are just decent, but the TV is awesome! Enjoy ur new TV.
I want to get this tv to moving from an lg oked because dolby vision problems
Yes, those adjustable legs for soundbar placement is a good one from Sony
Bose sound bar according to Choice is not recommended. You can get a better experience with a Polk Soundbar at a fraction of that price
Love the gamers nexus T-shirt...another quality content provider
Excellent comparison reviews hands down!!!
Great review and use of stats, to explain what each tv was capable of.
I've gone with the A80J the 77" I love it along with my soundbar and Subwoofer makes for a great experience when you put on something like the Star War series.
My 77 A80j is coming in a couple weeks! What sound system are you using?! I can’t wait to watch Star Wars and marvel movies hahah
How is it? I'm also looking at the 77" A80J... coming from 55" LG c9
Awesome review. You should check out the new firmware update on the A80J.
I just went through this decision and now Sony has released the VRR firmware upgrade for the A80J and a90j models. I'm so glad I got the A80J. It is incredible for gaming and allows digital passthrough which the LG does not.
Both are amazing TV's that is for sure.
While we haven’t released updated videos, we retested these TVs for our written review and our results are available on our website if you want to check it out!
@@RTINGSdotcom thank you! I really appreciate you taking the time to answer this. I purchased mine at Costco and the Model is actually A80CJ.
What do you all know the difference between the 2 or is it just C for Costco? It does have a switch to turn off the microphone, came with 10 Bravia movies and has an extra 2 year warranty.
Do you know if the A80CJ is different than the normal A80J?
Thank you.
Watch out for the infamous blinking red power light/no power issue.
excellent summary and detailed review.
Wow, that's beautifully explained
Hey guys, just wanted to point out a couple of differences for the 77" versions. I have tested both and the color temp in those sizes is warmer than the smaller sizes (around 6800K instead of around 7000K) and also the 77s all appear to have the newer 3S4C panel instead of being mixed with the older 3S3C panel in the smaller sizes.
Great content again 👍

Thanks for this very helpful video! Subscribed. I was torn between these two but even though I'm a Sony fan two weeks ago I went with my first LG anything, the OLED65C1PUB because of the better gaming performance. Our grandson has a new PS5 so I expect we'll soon try it out on the LG. This replaces our beloved 1080p plasma with a power supply that gave up its magic smoke. 😞 So far I'm astounded by OLED!

Very good comparative thanks bro
TKS! Your review of them helped me make the decision to just keep my LG C9 which is 2 years old and still works like new & has DTS Audio enabled still!
Glad we could help! :)
Sony was one of the first companies to start making OLED TVs. However, you should know that the company buys the display planes for its TVs from LG.
Which speaks volumes.
This is right! The point is that each company targets different aspects of a TV like Samsung oversaturates everything, Sony has better color balance etc
@@TechTails Not really, thats only one hardware part of the entire product and experience.
@@TechTails The only volumes it speaks are probably the differences between Japan and Korea. I think labor costs are less in South Korea so they can afford to do more R and D.
Yes, Sony started working on OLEDs before LG. However, Sony gave up mid-way. LG succeeded in commercializing OLED panels, and now Sony, along with almost every other TV maker, buys from them. However, I hear Samsung's Quantum Dot OLED is the new king in town.
Would have been good to mention that the 77" A80J has a different screen coating. I believe that it is glossy, like the C1 and A90J.
Glossy coating is superior anyways.
Nice comparison video Side by Side 👍
Just watched this today, and I must say this is one of the best comparison I have seen. C
Just shows why you are the best.
GN tee, nice!
I picked the LG OLED this time
Any regrets?
Great reviews. Boy it looks like a tie to me. Thank again.
That's a good damn shirt Brandon!! :D Steve likes it :P
For movies and series go for A80J
For Gaming go for C1
They are so close, with each with there slight benefits that most won't notice, so simply go for the cheaper one - you will not be disappointed!
just got the 65" C1 super excited to game on it :)
This video Gold. Thanks 🎉
Lg’s remote always was a wii remote for me
We bought an lcd tv back in 2015 and it came a with an identical wii remote just in black finish🤣
It looks like it’s from the 90’s lol
They are both great TVs me personally for my setup I would have to get the Sony cause the LG sits to low and my sound bar would block the screen plus the sony be used for movies mostly and my sound bar and 4K blu ray player are Sony so it all match and work together
Thanks a lot. Great video.
I just got the A80J and my brother has the C1 and no regrets on both of us we both love our TV
I love this!! I love electronics comparisons. It's like everything else in life. It's all subjective. The simple fact of the matter is this. Whichever one you choose, as long as when it's up and running, and it puts the biggest smile on your face, you've chosen correctly. It matters none, what others think. They're not there in your home. And let's face it, the true king of OLED at the moment, Panasonic JZ2000. Enjoy!!
I was all about the C1 until I found out it can't pass through DTS. Deal killer for me.
Sony has more image retention, no HGIG, higher input lag, 2 hdmi 2.1 instead of 4 like the C1, no gsync-freesync, mat screen, etc. I prefer the remote of the LG but Android software from the Sony.. They all have their issue.
Great Video Kid!
Hoping to get the C1 for around 1000 dollars on black friday. Want a 48 inch would be sweet
Why are the scores in “Video Games” so close if the Sony lacks multiple important features and you describe it as “passable”?
That's a great question!
Right now, the discrepancy comes from the implementation of HDMI 2.1 and how we weigh those features to get the scores you see in the review. If you hover over the ? Next to the scores in the review, you can see all of the factors that contribute to each score. www.rtings.com/tv/tools/compare/sony-a80j-oled-vs-lg-c1-oled/21563/21421?usage=10&threshold=0.01
We are considering changes to these weights for the next methodology update, so if you have any suggestions for us, please let us know!
Basically though, there are differences here that go beyond our scores, so we wanted to make sure to mention them! And rest assured, we're aware of this issue as well and we're working to improve it!
Hope to see a TCL C825 review.
TCL Group is a state-owned Chinese
ur website is amazing
Im going for the 55" LG C1 OLED this Christmas. I really like the color accuracy and upscaling low definition content of the Sony XR processors though.
The t-shirt tells me you would take the C1 🤣
Great video though the time stamps are off
Whoops! The timestamps we show in the intro are slightly off, but we have the correct ones in the description. Thanks for letting us know!
Great job
Did anyone notice the wallpaper on Sony seems a bit cropped compared to LG ? You can see more of white light lamp post and more of letter t and so on...
Ended up going with the Sony because of the Google TV OS. It allows me to enable Developer Mode and Side Load Apps to TV. Picture Quality for Movies and TV Sows is excellent. Gaming feature are important for my PS5 Console and with latest update it automatically sets up the correct Setting to take full advantage of Console. Never Plan to connect a PC so that feature is a waste.
How’s it doing with the PS5? Any stuttering or anything? I’m looking into the C1,G1 or Sony XR A80J primary for gaming.
Did you ever get any update to
Improve the latency and vrr? Any improvements there?
@@whatfreedom7 I’m in the same boat as you
@@yera1239 just so you know I ended up buying a G1. I’m 4 months in my screen has a vertical black line. It is being covered under warranty and the local repair center is coming out when it arrives to help me swap it out. I’ve since read a lot of complaints about verticals and horizontal lines. Sadly I’d say steer clear. Sony from my understanding uses LG’s displays so idk if it’s any better.
@@whatfreedom7 I also heard about banding on LG OLEDs, but I haven’t seen on my long research of which manufacturer to go with, haven’t seen that on Sony OLEDs.
The Google TV is my main reason to go for the Sony. I have Google TV now via a dongle on my 11 years old TV, and I really like it. So, having it built-in for the Sony is a major plus for me.
I actually bought the 77 Sony… 2.5weeks later it stopped working and would only flash a red LED 4x below the screen. We called their tech support and they told us that it was toast, and needed to be exchanged for a new unit! The process was supposed to be that we’d get a call from a Sony Concierge within 48 hrs to schedule the replacement delivery. However, 48 hrs later we still had received no call, so we called Sony again. We were told we just needed to be patient and wait for the call!!! I asked how long the replacement process would take after the Concierge contacted us…? We were told it would add on another 10-14 days at least. With that response, we packed up the Sony and returned it to the store and replaced it with the 77in OLED LG!!! With a huge crowd coming to our house for a Thanksgiving, there was no way we were going to be able to wait for Sony to get back to us. Good thing we chose not to wait… Sony NEVER called us back!!!
maybe they had a time machine and they knew you would return it anyway :D
Wow this comment has put the nail in the coffin for me cheers for the heads up
Had something similar albeit an older TV. I had a Sony 55 A1E, which I bought three years ago. It had been a bit problematic (would reboot at times when turning on via an HDMI input such as the PS5) but nothing major. Yesterday morning turned it on and nothing, dead TV. Was considering the A80J but think I'll steer clear of Sony for a while as reliability isn't a great trade off for marginally better picture quality.
This OLED TV facing reyabilty issue both sony and LG I had lg c9 after 1.5 year stop working becuse of small dent in screen
And I bet you are loving every minute of the 77 in C1 LG 🌅
Rtings :-) can you compare 2017 sony a1e oled vs new 2021 or 2020 i want to see how this 2017 sony oled stuck with the new model in image quality and sound :-)
love the gamer's nexus t-shirt. Nice comparison also. I m going with the Sony although i am an LG hardcore fan
Te felicito por la comparativa, sin embargo me llama la atención que no se destaque en el Sony una de sus características fuertes en relación a imagen y sonido: IMAX ENHANCED !!!! Una tremenda fortaleza a la cual no todas las marcas pueden optar.
Saludos desde Puerto Montt, Chile 🇨🇱🇨🇱🙂
Ademas en casi todo el video se entiende que es mejor la C1, pero no siento que sea asi en la práctica. Yo tengo la C1 y es muy decepcionante en brillo, es la OLED de linea C menos brillante que conozco, cada años fueron menos brillosas y la Sony es increíblemente mas brillante en contenido real, por que estos test son en color blanco, y ademas el ABL de la LG es muy brusco y atenua bastante la imagen. Hace poco vi un video de C1 vs A80J en CZcams y se nota que la Sony le gana notoriamente en brillo…
Both are great but it’s a no brainer to go for a C1 since A80J misses certain key features for a premium TV.
agree.......twin tuner being one of the key issues for me....
Which certain key features are missing??
So true. The A80j hdmi ports that are not 2.1 is a deal breaker for me. Almost like buying a nice 2022 exotic car but it still have drum brake for the rear wheels.
good review
Also, ATSC support is getting close to being an important differentiator.
Sony for me! Do you present from a script or memory? Either way, an excellent job as usual! Rtings has taught me a lot and is helping me to decide on the right tv for my next purchase. (UK)
When comparing two TV models, could it be possible to add a few seconds of real HDR movie clip or Game play? So that all the technical specifications makes sense. For example in this video, Sony doesn't support VRR and LG does, adding a comparison video to show how they matter would be really great in your video.
That's because vrr doesn't make a noticeable difference. That's why it isn't that big of a deal right now. The SONYs play the games very smoothly and you will not notice any difference from playing on the lg. I've gamed on both and both felt the same. While the sonys had a lil more detail and better contrast
@Radical Thunder come on now. That's one thing the lg's lack when compared to these sony tvs man
@Radical Thunder may I see that depth review? Because before I purchased my Sony a9g I got the cx and compared the cx to the A9g side by side for days. The A9g was wayy better in many ways . ESPECIALLY contrast and depth. The SONYs give you a 3d effect that's hard to explain but you have to see in person. I'm not speaking out of my ass like some people. I actually did my research and actually did a comparison in person. And not only that I watch Evey single video on the c1 and A80j and every single video agreed that the Sony had more depth , better contrast, more detail , better upscaling, better sound. Literally the ONLY people that think the LGs are better are the people who made the mistake of getting an Lg OLED over the Sony OLED. And they really want to convince themselves they have the better tv. When In fact there's plenty of proof that shows that the SONYs are definitely better .
@Radical Thunder dude I just said I saw countless of videos of these tvs and no one says what you're saying. But everyone says the c1 is only slightly better than the cx. And the A9g was way better than the cx. And the A80j is slightly better than the A9g. So makes sense when you put my testing with the testing of everyone else on CZcams that the SONYs have the better picture. I'm not just speaking just to speak. I actually know . Unlike someone who is literally just trying to defend his tv like if he made it himself lol . I'm talking from facts here not from emotions like you
@Radical Thunder congratulations to all you people who got an Lg OLED. They're great tvs . I NEVER said they weren't . All I'm saying is they're second best
How would you rank the TV's against each other when it comes to shadow detail and more specifically near black image quality and grain?
Will there be video review of the new Hisense U8G? I see the written review was done a couple weeks ago.
It's coming! :) We can't really get started on the video reviews until the written reviews our published. It will hopefully be posted later this week!
Nitpicking the screen and color palette aren't a great compactor considering the screens are both made by LG Displays. Personally, the biggest difference between the two is how the speakers are done. Sony uses speakers that shoot through the screen, while LG uses traditional back speakers that need to be close to a wall to sound good. In surround sound, the screen speakers in the A80J can count as a "center" speaker for the setup, while the C1 speakers can't.
No. As I have a good sound system I don't mind about integrated speakers, and I really hate light reflections, LG is also more open on software, an easy to use remote control where for gamers a VRR is quite important. For me LG wins.
A80 has vrr as well
“Near infinite” has to be the biggest oxymoron ever
It's up there with "literally figurative".
The nearest infinite oxymoron ever
basically infinite -1
I'm going to go with the A80J, 77. VRR is now out for the A80J, so its even more clear.
Just purchased the LG C1
I bought the A80J 77 inch over the C1. I do game quite a bit, but so far I am really happy. I came from an LG c8 and I really like the Sonys picture processing more. More natural and unbelievably clear. An extremely clean panel. So far my only downside is only 2 HDMI 2.1 ports, but I only have the PS5. Anyone on the fence between the 2, I still say the Sony, especially in the 77 inch for 1k off.
Congratz! no doubt the difference from a LG C Series Oled to a Sony XR OLED panel is like Night to Day. Only LG sponsored Rtings and clowns like QuantumTV can't admit it.
@@ManuelMedellin. Quantum is a bitch. I've gotten into it with him a few times. It's fun.
@@ManuelMedellin. only clown here is you. I see you fanboying Sony everywhere I look. It's impossible for you to give an objective analysis because you're biased.
@@cun7us Mostly due to mental illness getting triggered over TV reviews.
If you’ve been watching the prices, the Sony has been $1k off since the day it came out. It’s a fake price.
How does the C1 fare on color accuracy once calibrated? I’d assume a colorimeter would be needed
rtings also has a color calibrator on the website and how to tune to a base.
Can I send the PS5's Audio through the LG to an older AV receiver?

PS5 supports VRR now
@@janderson0719 It doesnt
I have the A80J, and the gaming has been incredible so far.
They talk about PS5 and VRR support at the same time. This is very misleading. What about all the PS4 or Switch Gamers with SDR content. I saw a lot of videos where the A80J had a very clear advantage over the C1...
@@BeatelementhePiH yeah the SDR gaming is really great on this TV. I've been absolutely blown away by the A80J. I'm really glad I went with it over the LG C1.
@@BeatelementhePiH Maybe. But the C1 is the obvious choice for people on the new consoles. Sony has been stringing people along for over a year with VRR and still has not even given a date window, let alone a date. Once you factor in the input lag and fewer HDMI 2.1 ports (not to mention the higher price), the Sony isn't even a option for people that want to use the new consoles with as many features as possible.
@@KaneRobot they are both $3500 now
I don’t buy console developers producing a bunch of game at 120hz at 4K.
After having had the choice of both i went with the 77a80j. (I bought both to compare and took back the lg within the return window) . The a80j just looked better, with more depth, texture, highlights came off the screen, better color shading and oh man that “living backdrop” just looks so awesome.
I don’t use the built in sound but my wife does and she loves it for watching regular reality tv shows, she also said that it looks sharper in upscaling.
I have to say you have to go look in person if you are on the fence. These are more different in real life than they are on video.
Also when i checked out the g1 it barely made a difference in real life. I’d suggest *only* if you want the proprietary wall mount to buy the g1. Otherwise go for the a80j
Sony has very bad near black issues
I went in with the intent on buying the C1 but like you said, the picture quality on the A80J was noticeably better. That and I don’t buy the new consoles doing 4K 120hz so 2 HDMI 2.1 ports were fine with me.
@@Kingepticon I have a ps5 but have zero issues🤷🏻♂️ plays absolutely fine and looks great

Hi on the contrast test, the blacks are darker for the LG C1, the Sony they have a grayish tinge. You would have to be crazy not to notice the difference it is so bleeding obvious.
C1 seems to be more versatile, but a80j better picture (color, details and depth) according to other reviews. Tough call and all seem to have compromises.
Back in the days, I'd have gone with the LG. But now I'm a PC gamer so Sony is the easiest choice, having DTS is a plus too. But yeah, tough call if you still gaming on TV, I'd say if you game more than half of the time then go with the LG.
@@SteveL11 you're implying that you'd go Sony as you don't use your tv for gaming while on pc I take it, because lg is great for pc gaming.

When’s the u8g video review ?
Hopefully late next week or early the week after!
I still don’t know which to get. I would be getting the 77” for a basement theater with dim-able lights (glair shouldn’t be N issue). Main use would be watching tv, movies and sports. No video gaming.
Hi bro
Could you please compare for me U4021QW vs LGC1 48 inch?
Also could you please comment on the glare and reflection for both when used as a monitor to edit code (where the eidtor is oure black in background)
thanks!
They're both strong. I'd go for the C1 because I can always pay a calibrator to adjust colors, what balance, shadow details. I can't go back later and get more hdmi 2.1 or gaming features on Sony.
If you’re not gaming on PC the 4K 120hz isn’t a big deal. Consoles are rarely, if ever going to utilize 4K/120hz. They would have to sacrifice way too much visual fidelity to reach 120hz at 4K.
Just use the Filmmaker mode instead of standard
@Radical Thunder That's cool if you're willing to play on low settings to achieve 120Hz. By the time 120Hz is the standard (on consoles obvioisly) I'll be ready to buy another TV.
@Radical Thunder I'd be more concerned with the LG's inability to adjust peak brightness while in Game Mode. Something that the Sony's let you do. Only a big deal if you have a Switch or you play a lot of retro games.
@Radical Thunder I agree that the picture quality is similar. But that is after you pay somebody $300-$400 to calibrate the LG. Out of the box the Sony is a noticeable better picture. You can go to a big box store and see that for yourself. Most people aren't going to pay for a professional calibration.
Glad I went with the 77 inch LG C1. I love movies and gaming but having 4 2.1 HDMI ports is a must in this day in age. I have a PS5 and a XBox Series X and Sonos sound system. Let me tell you this tv makes all of them things amazing. Do yourself a favor and get a C1 and not look back!!

Thumbs up for the Gamers Nexus Shirt. Also went for the A80(c)J. Much rather have Google TV than WebOS.
Which TV is best for coming out of black?
A80J for me. I do not game. I like the 46 Mps 2.1 ports, and the ATSC 3.0 TV receiver on the Sony. So Sony for sound and color and image quality. (Plus the low placed mounting screws on the back for my TV stand mast mounting works well too.)
A80J is pretty much a C1 panel with their processing. Enjoy
For me this is the A80J! I am not a gamer... I will use it for series and movies. DTS support is important for me and I want to be able to put my central speaker in front of the TV.
I’m really happy with my 77” a80j. I don’t game on a big screen so..
A80J is $400 more expensive.
@@matthewowen1360 Yes, the real question now comes in is : What's the best choice for a movie/series lover (Not a gamer) ?

Torn between the two. All I care about is the potential burn-in. So which brand of the two is more susceptible?
How do they fare with burn-in in a brighter room when the TV is forced to strain itself more ?
I’d like to know more about the sports stream upscale and smoothness .
I currently have the A80J 77” and previously returned the CX 77”which was a bit brighter in sports and handle reflections a tad better .
Now looking to try the C1.
Both units have clean panels , so lucky so far.
AT Best Buy the A89J looks way better than the C1? Do you think they have a better feed hooked up to sell the 80J?
@@matthewowen1360 yeah. I went to bestbuy and asked the guy why the hell is the Sonys picture so much nicer than the lg, even the content looks pixelated on the LG ? His answer: yeah, the source we feed the Sony is so much higher quality. Something to think about. They should play the same content.
I was at best buy yesterday and the Samsung tv feed were glitching intermittently. Couldn't even get a good comparison because the feed was so buggy and pixelated.
Hi !
Can you tell me which tv is the best for watching sports please ? I don't know which one to take (C1 or A80J).
Surprised no mention of Bravia Core on the Sony - it is a differentiator.
Because, as purists, they pretty much don't use its features.
They’re too busy circle jerking each other with their mask on
4K Blu-Ray is better?
currently have the sony a80j but hate how SDR, HDR, & DV all copy picture setting changes to each other which makes me have to keep changing settings depending on what I watch. Does sony have a way to turn this off? My old Vizio was better in this way.
I dont like the Black Crush on the C1, yes you can fix that by turning on other features like Adaptive Contrast but that makes the whole image a bit whased out and also lost of detail.
If you play on the switch the only answer here is a80j. Superior SDR brightness as “peak brightness” isn’t disabled in game mode, and upscaling is MUCH better for lower resolution content making it look like native 4k. And for ps5 well it doesn’t support VRR as well so it’s also an excellent option for that.
Thanks, this actually helped me a lot. I game on switch and SDR up scaling quality means a lot. I also have a PS4, so eventually I would be upgrading to a PS5. Maybe VRR will come to both in the future
It was an easy choice for me, the c1 was 1099€ and the a80j was 1399€. C1 it is 👍
Hope you enjoy the TV! 😊
How is it ? Is it still as good as new? 😊
So you could find out which one is better for upscaling?
Gamers have been screaming for 1440p support. Didn't know the c1 had it, but now that I do, it's a drop the mic moment for lg c1
Cool review, but I don’t think you meant “rarely fails to disappoint” at 16:05 - so, the Sony usually disappoints?
We mentioned this elsewhere, but you're absolutely right, we made a mistake here! Our French was showing there 🤦
To be clear, Sony often succeeds in this regard (color accuracy) and that's true here as well!
Sony TVs are usually great the problem is the also break down easily after a year or two
@@atomskthepirateking2776 no. They don't.
@@atomskthepirateking2776 sony's got superior manufacturing process than LG.
@@skiran69 Sony buys it’s panels from LG and buys TV parts from Samsung .
I went with LG C1. Only having 2 HDMI 2.1 ports is a crucial flaw in the Sony. Plus, LG has less in lag and more resistant to reflections, and VRR for all HDMI ports. Still like the Sony, but better color calibration at twice the cost doesn't outweigh its cons.
twice the cost?
@@sergioortiz8219 Sony pretty much charge big money for the accuracy on there TVs They come calibrated already that’s why colors are so true life like perfect. Out of the box.
@@hhinojosareef1 but they don't cost twice as much as LG!
They are literally the same price
@@audiocalls2822 they literally arent. A80J 65 = 2199. C1 = 1799.
Best review yet
I've seen numerous reports of some A80Js having a blinking red power light and not powering on as a result. That's very concerning. Not sure if all sizes are prone to this or just a certain size.
It's LG C1 OLED for me 👍
Think I'm leaning with the C1. How do you like yours.
The question I have since gaming is important to me aswell, but don’t want a Tv with bad color accuracy. Can you get the color accuracy to be as correct or nearly as correct as the sony’s or is it just doomed?
Both are perfectly fine. You would only be able to spot a difference with both screens next to eatch other. Pick a color temperature you like. Many settings change the color temperature like eye protection mode, color temp, picture mode etc.
LG C1 calibrates better than the A80J. Its not "doomed" and doesnt suffer from the XR blue tint issue
Great video! Is there blooming on the Sony?
Given that they are both OLED displays with self-lit pixels that don't require a backlight, both can produce perfect blacks with no visible blooming!
You just have to look on the background image with the car to see, that the C1 is really struggeling with white parts, making them grey.
what is the boot time after unplugging and turning on
Imagine this being a consideration LOL!
@@chickenmuffin Lol..... to answer his question. The sony boot up in 2 seconds, the lg takes a couple minutes.
Overall, I'd say RTINGS provides a pretty good review of products. I only wish they'd start including a section on reliability. I get that for the most part, these reviews are for new products so it would be premature to offer data on reliability. Perhaps somewhere in the review however, a mention of expected reliability could be included.
Yeah I just found these guys, they're great cuz there's no bias or being paid off lol they point out all flaws
what so these 2 list as their cost for electricity, are either energy star rated?
At 6:57 the left chart looks blurry and looks like some kind of discoloration in the white vs the right which is clear.
