Had the Sony A95L and returned it, got the LG G3. Sony has this "cold" image overall pushing bluish tints that can't be calibrated no matter what you do, it's just their color science. It looks too clinical. On the other hand, the LG has this warm pleasant overall image that I love, hence why the skin tones are so pleasing. Skin tones are #1 in my book. I believe the Samsung has similar image to the LG but it's softer. So overall, the LG is the best, and in my tests, the color can be adjusted to almost match QD technology.I've always had LGs. I just wanted to try the Sony, but never again. LG, I'll never cheat on you again.
@patricioderito3722. Hey, nice to hear from you again. Yea, this is my thought about that. I really do feel that if let's say the LG was a qdoled. It would be able to show fine details better than the A95L. Cause I think that's where the A95l wins me over the g3. The G3 has great detail it really does. But the way the A95L displays details is pretty amazing. How they control color palletes to the max without losing details while at the same time keeping the picture so clear is very impressive to me. That's just not easy to do. And I think it has to do with Sony processing paired with the qd oled technology. So if I take that same technology and pair it with lgs processing, I think it will really show the world the Lgs processing is literally neck and neck and a lot of ways even better them Sonys. Lg dies nit get the credit they deserve with the alpha series processing they use. It it smooth, reliable, never slacks, can handle the toughest demands of your tv all while making the image look amazing. But I do notice that sometimes that white sub pixel has an impact on some lost or washed-out details. That's why I wish either lg just crested their own new oled tech similar to qd oled or just adopt qd oled and incorporate their amazing processing, and I think they would be able to best Sonys processing. Because what lg has over the A95L that I notice the most and u am not willing to lose is the 3d pop. A95L or S95C can't do what lg does. So if they can figure out how to just get their color space wider by losing the white sub pixel while at the same time retaining that world class 3d pop, that is just so amazing that it keeps you coming back. And the gaming optimizer is the best in the market hands down. Plus, hgig is great. Cause even if the game you're playing is not hgig compatible, well, guess what? It's still better than dtm or dtm off. In my opinion, at least. So they all have their pros and cons over eachother for sure
Sounds like you just regret spending that kind of money on the A95L and talked yourself into getting the cheaper option by finding something to nitpick about the Sony. The A95L is no question the superior TV, but it may not be worth the extra money for some. The G3 is a great TV, but nobody can beat the processing of Sony.
@samratdad8404. Thank you for the comment and for checking out the video. Means allot. Almost any Sony tv product ever goes on sale. It is extremely rare to see. And throughout history, if it were to go on Dale it is almost a year later. They barely allow fir any discounts on any tvs unfortunately so if you have the opportunity to get one on sale I recommended getting ot asap as those sales are temporary many times .the only time they permanently have lowered there prices that I have noticed is when the new current model year gets released. And even them the discounts are not significant
@geofousteris2669. Hey as always it's really nice to hear from you. Thank you. The S95c shines when it shines. It really has changed the direction of what the tv industry is going towards and they are going to known as the new Era of forward moving new tv tech. Just like LG was the pioneer of woled tvs and leading the industry for a decade. This is the next level.
Great video! It's your TV don't let anyone tell you what's "proper" or not. I have the Sony A95L for 2 weeks now and I just don't see how it's the "best" tv of the year. I paid $2,100 more for this TV than the G3 and it absolutely is NOT worth that price difference. Ialso think that built in audio is ‘t any different than any other tv I’ve used. I’m not sure what all these influencers are seeing and hearing that justifies the crazy hype. What's more in the last week it's been buggy as crap to the point where a few days ago it didn't turn on and I had to unplug it before it turned on. Then yesterday it randomly rebooted 4 times. I'm frustrated with this TV. I hope it stabalizes next week. I don't want to risk being banned by sending it back, but yeah, I'm thinking about getting the G3 back (sadly the prices are going back up).
@MichelleAlexandria-EM. Hey, I haven't heard from you in a while. Was wondering where you been. I'm sorry to hear about those issues with the A95L. I had a couple of minor issues with mine. Yours sound more extreme over mine. I feel there's 2 ways people perceive the best tv of the year even if the tvs are working flawlessly. Value and picture quality. I do think that the A95L hits all the check boxes the best. And is closest to most accurate out of the box. So, taking price out of the equation, it is this year the nicest looking tv, and it's nice to have a better sound system. I have all 3 tvs, and the A95L audio to me sounds the best. Ppl do not talk about it enough, but no matter if it's important to a buyer or not, it's still an advantage over both the s95c and g3. Now, when you put price into the equation, that's when people get mixed up. Just because the price difference is not justified for most buyers, it doesn't mean that the g3 or s95c is better. It means that the value is better because they come so close in picture quality. What you get for your money versus what yv is actually better, I think, is where the fine line is. Plus, the S95C and G3 aloshave advantages over the A95L, too. They trade blows. The A95L is not perfect, and many people totally agree with your opinion. I see it all the time in the comments. And it makes sense. Last year, I thought the same thing. I thought the s95b and the g3 were both better than the A95K. I'm lucky enough to own all 3 tvs and they really do have pro's and cons over one another and it is hairline thin. I do feel that the g3 does not get the credit it deserves. I do think the g3 has a better build over the A95L, and it is more reliable. The tv just never failed. Yes uniformity is an existing issue but you also have the micro scratching issues on the A95L. I think that Sony really needs to wake up and get woth the program and make all 4 hdmi ports full bandwidth like the s95c and g3. I also like hiw the g3 has the best and most customizable game optimizer, Hgig and dtm has greatly improved over the years with more refined midtones. I just wish they would change there color spaces to the more recognized terms like bt 2020, dci p3 etc. But everyone's different.
I'm not a super gamer where I can tell the difference between 30, 60 or 120 fps. As long as it's not dropping frames. I think I'm fine but it's ridiculous there's no 4 2.1 hdmi ports. My issue with this tv is you can't separate the performance vs price when it's this far out of wack. A Few hundred doesn't matter but several thousand? Plus you add all the crazy over praise this is getting. Makes it very disappointing. If the bugs correct themselves next week I'll keep it because other than getting my $2k back I'm not going to gain or lose anything going to a different tv.
@@MichelleAlexandria-EM before I got the G3, I had the sony a8h oled. It's a great tv, but it was buggy at times. It would not start sometimes, had to unplug and plug it back in, also my sonos would lose connection sometimes to
Rtings, digital trends, flatpanelhd, avforums, hdtvtest, all chose the a95l as the clearly superior tv to the g3 and greatest tv ever made. It’s pretty much unanimous and undisputed. Only the lg copium crew and quantum disagree 😂
Thanks for the video. I always look forward to your comparisons. ClassyTech has a settings video for the LG G3 that shows the Super Resolution will not work unless the Sharpness setting is raised to 20 or higher. Also the AI Picture Pro also works with the Sharpness on 20 and up to give more deph perception. Again, thankyou for taking time to make these videos.
My only issue with it is that it isn't QD Oled, so colors look muted and missing shades of colors like on every WRGB. However if LG had QD Oled nobody would even look at the massively overpriced A95L.
@@TheAntifluencerslightly muted colors or more natural?, that would depend on the preference of the viewer and the content ...The A95l does have the wider color gamut, however that is only harnessed in a handful of scenes in limited content.
I’ve been searching for reasons to buy the G3, and was ALMOST convinced….until I see it beside the S90C-S95C. That QD OLED colour is mind blowing. Sadly, the A95L is out of my current price range, so it’s likely I’d go with the Samsung. This was a helpful video! 🙏🏻👌🏻
@Whitewolf_1186. Hey thank you for the comment and checking out the video. Yea qd oleds definitely bring the color to a much different level. I'm inclined to believe that the h4 is going to do something on their end to compete against it
@faraichitauro3315. Hey, thank you for the comment and for checking out the video. Means allot. That fireplace I have owned for many years now. I don't use it as much but it was a little cold. Lol
It’s great to see all the best TV’s together and compared. I would love however to see the step down OLED’s like the A80L and C3 against them too to see how much better the top level sets are to justify the higher price??
@videobandit. Hey, thank you for the comment and checking out the video. Yes, I would live to do that, but unfortunately, I am not able to purchase that many tvs. I purchase these tvs and own them. I would think there are other reviewers out there who get them shipped directly to them to review and send back. I'm not there yet, but hopefully one day I will.
@user-lm7wq9xm1p. Hey, nice to hear from you again. I typically have color space in dcip3. Most of the time when watching movie content. But in this particular movie I prefer 2020. I know that the tv can get a higher coverage in dci but 2020 can still bring out the color more even with not covering 2020 as much as dci. Plus when I look at certain skin tones in dci just think it kind of loses color tone a little.
@@consumerreview2k it's the opposite, "dci-p3" is limiting to the p3 gamut, but with more precise colors/ skin tones, whereas "bt.2020" (on the samsung) has higher gamut coverage but with oversaturated skin tones. Would like to see a tv comparison of different skintones in sdr/ hdr (dci-p3 on s95c, for sony/lg bt 2020 is correct) You can clearly see at 56:47 how oversaturated the skin tones on the s95c are compared to the sony and lg.
@coolandmellow. Hey thank you for the comment and checking out the video. I've been getting allot of s95c and g3 favored comments so far in this video. I'm actually pleasantly surprised.
@@consumerreview2k people have bills to pay in their lifes, this isn't Disneyworld we are in. I've been thinking the A95L was the right fit for me all year, still doing so. However... Sony are so reluctant to drop the price even after months since release, that it becomes impossible for most without becoming financially unresponsible. I now understand the Anger and frustrations people have towards Sony, if you can get a 77 S95C or 77 G3 for 2500 or less you should and MUST go for that, as it won't get any cheaper from there.
I'm currently in the situation of deciding between these tv's and i'm leaning heavily towards the 77 inch S90C. It has the same panel as the s95C and it's $800 cheaper here in germany.
@user-pt4tm2ol9g.Hey thank you for the comment and checking out the video. Yes the S90C I would say is probably the best overall value. It is probably the most popular seller over the qd oled spectrum.
@@consumerreview2k I just bought a 77 inch S93C today for only 1600€. I thought there must be a pricing error but they told me today the TV had already been handed over to the shipping company. The LG G3 costs 3200€ at its best price. Its a deal breaker for me. I can't wait to play HDR games on it with my 4090 and also watch all my favorite movies again. I also have my eye on the new Alienware 1440p 360hz qd-oled monitor.
He’s not flexing the full brightness potential of that tv, you can make it look even brighter. Infact it’s the brightest oled if you leave creator intent behind. Cinema home with expression enhancer to brightness preferred looks brighter than standard mode
@s.m.71. Hey, thank you so much for your comment and for checking out the video. Means allot. You don't have to understand the tv to have an opinion on which one you prefer looks the best. If you like the way the G3, it is what you like, and that's just fine. These tvs are built and designed for you to customize them in the best way that you personally prefer. Thats all. It all comes down to personal preference and budget at the end of the day.
@lipiningol1381. Hey. Thank you for checking out the video. The G3 even in this comparison still to me shows that it is overall the brightest out of al them.
Hey ogcod thank u again & again for these great work man! I & we really appreciate it!!, can i make the A95L Black level similar or close to the G3 from the setting? i wanna buy the G3 77” For the living BRIGHTY room for Family & me.. Overall watching! Sports! Movies, tv series & cable channels [Kinda no gaming] & getting The A95L 77” for my room! Which is kinda brighty but near as brighty as the living room!.. Especially for Movies, tv series & Gaming! & no sports unfortunately as a soccer, boxing , tennis & many sports fan cause of the logo dimming!😏 have u seen it in soccer or hockey field that include it a flag?, & i heard it dim down significantly! Not as the G3 (in sports) so whats ur thoughts, opinion on what i want to do?😄, do agree on the plan? Both of these tvs are my favorite! & even if i get the S95C i would be extremely happy! Such a Great Tv!!. Have a nice holiday!.
@Manuel.Medellin. Nice to hear from you again. Howve you been? The time is getting closer and closer for you to get a new TV huh? I better be one of the 1st people you tell of when you buy your new TV. Cause I know we have been chatting for a while now about this. So don't forget about cause I would love to know what you end up deciding which tv you have purchased and interested to see your thoughts are when you have it all set up. Thank you for your support. It is really cool to gear from you as often as I do and I feel lucky to have you as a consistent commenter. Thank you. So much
@Tommy_93685. Hey, thank you so much for your comment and checking out the video. I think that they both have their strengths over each other. I actually did a recent video about game mode in all 3 tvs S95C, A95L, and G3. But specifically, since you are only commenting about the A95L a d the G3, I will just reply back about those only. The advantage I experience with the A95L is that the brightness is slightly brighter than the g3. The And makes the PS5 automatically tone maps the ps5. Once you connect it, the A95L is via Hdmi wire. It's nice how it's auto compatibility to give you the best and most optimized picture performance. As long as you keep your input signals on auto and hdr signal on auto. And when you turn live color on, it helps with the vibrancy of colors. Plus, it has more fine details, so when playing a game that is extremely detailed, the A95L does the best job at displaying that over any tv I have ever owned. But the game menu is honestly a joke on the A95L. The most basic game mode in the tv market. And the fact that you can't fine tune game black levels can be a nuance. The fact that the A95L only provides 2 2.1 hdmi ports sometimes makes me feel like a sucker. It's like sonys way of saying you're gunna to buy my tv and like it and there's nothing you can do about it. Now, with the G3, this is again my personal experience with it. Gaming is solid. Never once have I ever had any connection issues. It's the most reliable signal receiving tv I ever had in my life. They really are the best at it. The alpha 9 processor is neck and neck with sonys xr processor. People can say all they want that Sonys processing is the best, but LG is literally right there with it and better in some ways than Sonys. For example. Sometimes, sonys os system lags. Or gets glitchy with sound syncing while gaming. Never had any of those issues with any LG tv I ever owned, and I owned plenty of them.oled and led. The gaming optimizer for the LG G3 is hands down the best gaming menu you can possibly have compared to any tv out there. You can fine tune your black levels multiple different ways. It has a white stabilizer, which is fantastic. If you adjust it according to your liking and game your playing and can give you the warmest color temp through the white balance, select out of the 2 tvs. Motion is the most reliable in gaming with the g3. Although the A95L has definitely improved that significantly since last year, the g3 is trusted in motion. As far as picture quality goes, although the G3 cannot get as colorful as the A95L but what the G3 has over the A95L is the 3d pop. And I am not willing to lose that for more color personally because the color on the g3 is still good enough. It may not be brighter than the A95L either, but it's perfectly fine for most people. Plus the fact that the g3 has 4 2.1 hdmi ports is also an advantage as it does simplify things. Yes I do like the A95L better primarily because the fine details and live color spoil me but the 3d pop spoils me too. And the A95L has a much better sound system built in through the tv so gaming is more immersive and lifelike for that reason. Just again sometimes you do notice audio syncing not working correctly. It's all personal preference based and value based
@bushgreen260. Hey thank you for the comment and checking out the video. Man I'd say overall I am liking the A95L. The G3 is my close 2nd. There both built with such high quality. I do think the g3 has a better overall build quality, and better 3d pop. The A95L has better sound quality and better fine details without having to customize it to get hose fine details as much. Processing is equal to me as they have an even amount of trade offs. I do like gaming on both of them equally but I do like the game optimizer on the g3 more than game mode on the A95L because it's more customizable. But man it's really hard because live color on the A95L spoils you after you realize how it helps with the vibrancy of the colors. But the g3 can get warmer looking too. It's really tough but I would say the A95L to me has the slight edge cause the way it can bring out fine details. Value wise I would say the g3
@@consumerreview2k You've said it yourself, A95L by the tiniest of margins, however market price doesn't reflect that. Sony is nearly twice the price of the others. You'd be a poor / unresponsible decision maker in life to go for A95L.
The LG G3 has a more clean cinema look to it then the Sony A95L to me. I feel like the Sony A95L QD-OLED looks better for video games hands-down. But for movies LG G3 MLA is the right look for movies watching. Hoping and crossing fingers that Sony will have MLA OLED from LG displays in their next new molds like the Sony A80’s…
@shannonharris6563. Hey thank you so much for your comment and for checking out the video. Means allot. Yes I do feel that certain picture modes between all 3 tvs displayed on videos have there advantages over one another. I do like the way the depth perception looks better in filmmaker of the g3 but I really like the color management in professional mode of the A95L. I just think the fine details are displayed cleaner just a hair more compared to the g3. So they really do trade blows. I think if any one of these 2 tvs can be able to lull if that 3d pop that the LG is known and at the same time have fine details and color like the sony can do. Along with great motion processing, that would be the perfect idealistic tv. And it all comes down to the processing at this point. I hope LG figures out how to get more color out of there tv because they certainly have the color space settings available to pull it off. And they certainly have the processing engineer's to be able to make it happen
@studiotouchprint5761. Hey thank you for the comment and checking out the video. And thank you for your opinion. It is always respected here on my channel. Hope to see you in the comments more often.

Can you please explain me that diffrence in 3D Look beetwen A95L and LG G3 please. Im returning my S95C horrible tv. Dropouts on ps5 every 15 minutes and crackling speakers. I ordered Sony A95l but i can still change my kind and get G3. What is so special with LG G3 with this 3D pop??? Can Sony A95L has this 3D pop? Please answer ASAP. Question adressed to the channel owner. THANKS
Job done !!! I went to shop again and i asked them to show me LG G3 wih diffrent 4k demos,becouse i only saw one simple demo on LG G3. I saw avatar demo and Jesus Christ wow. My Samsung S95C cannot compare to LG g3 in any way. I still got Samsung s95c waiting to be collected by Samsung due to many issues.

Thanks for this channel for your revievs. You helped me to get right TV!!!
I think this 3D picture and shiny clear picture on LG G3 is becouse of the special glossy screens LG using. Samsung and sony they use diffrent screens. LG won for me.
Lol that 3d pop you talking about is due to the shapness level, mine look amazing and i think i prefer it more than lg g3 mostly for gaming, i have s90c but made it into a s95c thru my menu service best of both worlds, no one connect box limiting the capacity of high end pc's and same detail and brightness as s95c, because my s90c is second gen panel like s95c, thats how I unlocked it, sorry but in gaming lg cannot compare to my s90c rn haha, so it will be around for long@@bartomiejrybkatv5003
S95C filmmaker mode looks way darker than the reference settings on the other TVs. And that matches with my personal experience with s95C. The filmmaker mode is just too dark and crushes shadow detail. Even my old LG B8 looks overall brighter with cinema settings than S95C does with filmmaker. Did you find S95C filmmaker too dim in darker scenes?
@ekiandersson3906. Hey, thank you for the comment and for checking out the video. Yes, I have actually posted a video comparison about this and in filmmaker mode while upscaling low bit rate content, the s95c was the tv that was overall the dimmest between the S95C, G3 and A95L.
@@consumerreview2k Thanks for making these videos, they are really helpful for people trying to find out what the differences between these sets are. I got a S95C, but have been contemplating about swapping it for G3, as I'm having a bit of trouble setting it up they way I'd like to. These comparisons are super helpful for deciding if changing the TV is worth it or not.
@@consumerreview2k Thanks for asking. I'm finding S95C to look a bit too dim and flat on filmmaker mode. Active tone mapping fixes that issue, but actually makes some titles uncomfortably bright. Contrast enchancer is a middle ground brightness wise, but seems to wash out colors (especially reds) in some bright scenes, unlike active tone mapping. I'm wondering if G3 picture modes and Dolby vision support would give more consistent and better results. I'm still not sure, if S95C issues are due to lack of Dolby vision or just related to how Samsung picture modes work.
G3 has the warmest pic and dude , it’s just that QDOLEDs can’t produce cyan as good as woled. Blue is best represented on woled , the difference in skin tones in the last shot is massive. They just don’t look as good on qdoleds. G3 blue is what they are supposed to look like
@lipinimgole1381. Hey thank you for the comment and checking out the video. The G3 can get to the most warmest setting out of all 3 tvs in my opinion. And I do agree on your other points too. I di find that darker skin tones loom better on the A95L while lighter skin tones look better on the g3.
@@Tommy_93685 dude I’m talking about what’s visible to naked eye, not numbers . See any comparison and look for cyan . Who’s fanboy here ? I don’t own any of the theee companies to be fanboy . Look at the avatar color (not surrounding but the character) and tell me it doesn’t look off on qdoled be it Samsung or Sony. Sometimes higher saturation is detrimental. S95C is way way more bang for buck than a95l , I guess you purchased it and now you are on coping rn for the double price you paid for slightly better quality
@pablozapata9694. Hey nice to hear from you again. Yes it does but that is because I turned motion smoothing on. If it wasn't for that the motion would have way to much judder. It was bothering me way to much.
@Korohh. Thank you for the comment and for checking out the video. Means a lot. See, I thought the same exact thing. I literally was on my tv checking to see if there were any differences at all that would have an impact on the details, gradation, or anything. Low medium or high. And through physical disc, it didn't do a single thing, so I just kept it on high. I truly and honestly couldn't find any difference. Then I went on to see if I found a difference when 4k content cause I will tell you literally 99% of the time I like gradation on low. And I still noticed some color banding, especially in scenes with either specular highlights and in dark sky light scenes. So one time, I just said to myself, "Let's see if smooth gradation on medium or high work is better when streaming 4k. And to my pleasant surprise, it did. Now, this is if you are indeed speaking of smooth gradation, correct? Not gradation preferred in Hdr tone mapping specifically for the A95L, right?
This was a great side-by-side comparison - Thanks! I have the A95L, my only issue is I can't find dolby vision settings anywhere on it. If I watch a 4k disc, that has DV, shouldn't I have a choice of dolby vision light or dark somewhere on the A95L? I'd appreciated any thoughts you might have. (I only watch movies on the TV, no gaming) Thank you!
The A95L supposedly does not have support for Dolby Vision. Although I am not 100% sure with this answer, I do remember seeing other folks complaining about this a few days ago on either a series of CZcams videos or on a few reddit threads that I was browsing through.
@@jgmlive Just a random guess; but could it perhaps be that the default colors on the A95L already look DV enhanced, hence why there isn't an option for it?
@@NippleSauce I've seen some reviews where they select between a dark and light mode DV. I can't find that option. I can select hdr10, but nothing about DV. It's weird.
@nyyjaxxvi9529. Hey, thank you for the comment and for checking out the video. The only bugs I found were that when I switched hdmi ports and back and forth, the sound got really buggy. Also, I have a Sony soundbar connected to the tv and use the A95L as the center speaker, and sometimes, the sound sync is delayed. Other than that, no serious issues
@nyyijaxxvi9529 Yes. I forgot which dilby picture mode I was in when I noticed it, though. And i only noticed it when streaming dv content. Physical disc i do not notice it, which i think it's because Physical has embedded Metadata to tell the tv exactly how it wants the picture to look. It's not perfect cause at times there's black crush and artifacts in dark regions of the scene but it still looks better to me because Physical disc have a much higher bit rate versus compressed low bit rate streaming. I typically do not like the way dv looks in either the A95L or G3. I like hdr10 better cause it looks brighter to me while also keeping the low - and mid-range tones intact. Seems like colors have more purity, too. And if you like to dim it down through the tvs settings, you can. It's easier to tone down settings on a tv than to tune up because there are fewer sacrifices to make. Just what I've noticed personally.
@@consumerreview2k just got my A95L and definitely noticing how poor Dolby Vision looks so I have to imagine Sony will address this. SDR and HDR look absolutely fantastic though.

@hamadmalik2200. I have a similar comparison running demos in filmmaker for the s95c and g3 and in professional mode in the A95L. Basically, I'm turning off any picture enhanced settings that I'm able to turn off so that they can be compared as natively as possible while at the same in their most respective accurate picture modes. Again, filmmaker and professional mode. But it was not physical disc. It was 4k streaming demos
@30:00 you switched all the TVs from Filmmaker mode to Standard mode. Whoa!!! Is there anyone other than 10 people in the film industry who don't appreciate color and prefer Filmmaker mode? 🤣🤣🤣 If you switch Standard to Warm1 or Warm 2 and change color a bit, it's really difficult to look at Filmmaker mode and think it's a nice mode. Their standard modes look very similar to Sony's which means that LG and Samsung changed their modes to match Sony's (what took them so long???) I cannot imagine watching Life of Pi in Cinema mode on a 3d TV.... That movie is all about color and brightness.
@techsamurai11. Hey, thank you for the comment and for checking out the video. Oh boy, I hear you. Well, what I did was apply settings prior to making the video, making sure the warm color settings did not change when switching through picture presets. Here is what I noticed about filmmaker mode. On a projector screen and projector. I like filmmaker mode better than on a tv. It feels more like the movies, and I like that feeling. It reminds me of being in a movie theatre but at home. Filmaker mode on a tv just doesn't look right to me ever. It's a completely different look because it's panel technology. And when panel technology has a creation of filmmaker mode to give you a more theatre like experience, it doesn't work well because it's not a projector that projects an image to a projector screen. I think we subconsciously know this, and that's why we love watching movies at the movie theatre but hate filmmaker mode because it is not the same.
@carlosreeves2434. Hey, thank you for the comment and for checking out the video. Contrast enhancer on the S95C are probably the ones out of the 3 that have the most impact on picture quality as its nit as refined as the A95L and the G3. But I do like it when watching bright colored movies like Avatar way of the water because it really can make scenes more lifelike. I know it loses details and blows the highlights, though. But in a movie like Avatar Way of the Water, I'm willing to lose that for the fain of the life, like picture and color it can bring out. I did not see a significant drop on details in dark scenes or midtones either. It helped make the colors look more vibrant, even though technically, it has nothing to do with improving colors directly it indirectly has an impact on how colors are displayed. But again, these are features that may differ depending on the type of content you're playing. Not including if you are streaming, too. Just wanted to share my thoughts on contrast enhancer and what I have noticed when enabled or disabled thats all.
@WhiteshadowTV. Hey thank you for the comment and checking out the video. It sure does. I have heard ppl say that it's only because of dynamic tone mapping that contributes to how in depth it looks. But I feel like DTM actually washes out the picture and loses its depth. If you look at the thumbnail. I used that as a hidden example to see if someone would notice. But looking at the flame in the thumbnail. You will see that the g3 loses details and its because dtm is on. Yes its still has the depth in most of the regions of the scene but loses the depth in the flames with DTm on.
@jimpayne9488. Hey thank you for the comment and checking out the video. Actually yes that is on my list to do either next or after the next. Please LMK if you have anything particular in mind you would like to see within that comparison. Thank you
How much does BFI: 1. Reduce brightness 2. Effect color accuracy 3. Introduce flicker 4. Cause black crush 5. Improve motion clarity And just overall picture quality opinions from you. The best set would ideally engage BFI but remain as close to reference picture quality as possible. I really appreciate your testing and insight. It’s impossible to compare BFI in a store and other channels usually don’t discuss it. Thanks!
@acquahalex4693. Hey, thank you for the comment and checking out the video. Means allot. I'm sorry, but I don't understand what you mean by your comment. Can you please elaborate? Either way, thank you so much, and I hope to hear back from you.
@lucagiacobbe4889. Hey thank you for the comment and checking out the video. It is my personal favorite tv at the moment too. Overall favorite. I think that the g3 and the s95c definitely has there advantages but overall I gotta go woth the a95l.
Had the Sony A95L and returned it, got the LG G3. Sony has this "cold" image overall pushing bluish tints that can't be calibrated no matter what you do, it's just their color science. It looks too clinical. On the other hand, the LG has this warm pleasant overall image that I love, hence why the skin tones are so pleasing. Skin tones are #1 in my book. I believe the Samsung has similar image to the LG but it's softer. So overall, the LG is the best, and in my tests, the color can be adjusted to almost match QD technology.I've always had LGs. I just wanted to try the Sony, but never again. LG, I'll never cheat on you again.
I agree. Though Sony gets the praise, I find that I just like the way my LG looks.
@patricioderito3722. Hey, nice to hear from you again. Yea, this is my thought about that. I really do feel that if let's say the LG was a qdoled. It would be able to show fine details better than the A95L. Cause I think that's where the A95l wins me over the g3. The G3 has great detail it really does. But the way the A95L displays details is pretty amazing. How they control color palletes to the max without losing details while at the same time keeping the picture so clear is very impressive to me. That's just not easy to do. And I think it has to do with Sony processing paired with the qd oled technology. So if I take that same technology and pair it with lgs processing, I think it will really show the world the Lgs processing is literally neck and neck and a lot of ways even better them Sonys. Lg dies nit get the credit they deserve with the alpha series processing they use. It it smooth, reliable, never slacks, can handle the toughest demands of your tv all while making the image look amazing. But I do notice that sometimes that white sub pixel has an impact on some lost or washed-out details. That's why I wish either lg just crested their own new oled tech similar to qd oled or just adopt qd oled and incorporate their amazing processing, and I think they would be able to best Sonys processing. Because what lg has over the A95L that I notice the most and u am not willing to lose is the 3d pop. A95L or S95C can't do what lg does. So if they can figure out how to just get their color space wider by losing the white sub pixel while at the same time retaining that world class 3d pop, that is just so amazing that it keeps you coming back. And the gaming optimizer is the best in the market hands down. Plus, hgig is great. Cause even if the game you're playing is not hgig compatible, well, guess what? It's still better than dtm or dtm off. In my opinion, at least. So they all have their pros and cons over eachother for sure
Liar, you never got a a95l, its the best tv ever made
Sounds like you just regret spending that kind of money on the A95L and talked yourself into getting the cheaper option by finding something to nitpick about the Sony. The A95L is no question the superior TV, but it may not be worth the extra money for some. The G3 is a great TV, but nobody can beat the processing of Sony.
The more i see A95L the more i question the huge price difference that makes no sense to me when g3 and s95c are so much cheaper and are premium
True words 👏
That's me too
Sony isn't even a game TV.
True, I expected they would drop the price fast, but we are looking at STILL retail in December. Sony are greedy as hell.
@samratdad8404. Thank you for the comment and for checking out the video. Means allot. Almost any Sony tv product ever goes on sale. It is extremely rare to see. And throughout history, if it were to go on Dale it is almost a year later. They barely allow fir any discounts on any tvs unfortunately so if you have the opportunity to get one on sale I recommended getting ot asap as those sales are temporary many times .the only time they permanently have lowered there prices that I have noticed is when the new current model year gets released. And even them the discounts are not significant
I love the Picture Wizard on the G3. I found it gave me the picture I wanted without needing to do anything else.
Yes 👌👌
Samsung looks stunning. Very impressive highlights 👌 Great job man
@geofousteris2669. Hey as always it's really nice to hear from you. Thank you. The S95c shines when it shines. It really has changed the direction of what the tv industry is going towards and they are going to known as the new Era of forward moving new tv tech. Just like LG was the pioneer of woled tvs and leading the industry for a decade. This is the next level.
Great video! It's your TV don't let anyone tell you what's "proper" or not. I have the Sony A95L for 2 weeks now and I just don't see how it's the "best" tv of the year. I paid $2,100 more for this TV than the G3 and it absolutely is NOT worth that price difference. Ialso think that built in audio is ‘t any different than any other tv I’ve used. I’m not sure what all these influencers are seeing and hearing that justifies the crazy hype.
What's more in the last week it's been buggy as crap to the point where a few days ago it didn't turn on and I had to unplug it before it turned on. Then yesterday it randomly rebooted 4 times. I'm frustrated with this TV. I hope it stabalizes next week. I don't want to risk being banned by sending it back, but yeah, I'm thinking about getting the G3 back (sadly the prices are going back up).
@MichelleAlexandria-EM. Hey, I haven't heard from you in a while. Was wondering where you been. I'm sorry to hear about those issues with the A95L. I had a couple of minor issues with mine. Yours sound more extreme over mine. I feel there's 2 ways people perceive the best tv of the year even if the tvs are working flawlessly. Value and picture quality. I do think that the A95L hits all the check boxes the best. And is closest to most accurate out of the box. So, taking price out of the equation, it is this year the nicest looking tv, and it's nice to have a better sound system. I have all 3 tvs, and the A95L audio to me sounds the best. Ppl do not talk about it enough, but no matter if it's important to a buyer or not, it's still an advantage over both the s95c and g3. Now, when you put price into the equation, that's when people get mixed up. Just because the price difference is not justified for most buyers, it doesn't mean that the g3 or s95c is better. It means that the value is better because they come so close in picture quality. What you get for your money versus what yv is actually better, I think, is where the fine line is. Plus, the S95C and G3 aloshave advantages over the A95L, too. They trade blows. The A95L is not perfect, and many people totally agree with your opinion. I see it all the time in the comments. And it makes sense. Last year, I thought the same thing. I thought the s95b and the g3 were both better than the A95K. I'm lucky enough to own all 3 tvs and they really do have pro's and cons over one another and it is hairline thin. I do feel that the g3 does not get the credit it deserves. I do think the g3 has a better build over the A95L, and it is more reliable. The tv just never failed. Yes uniformity is an existing issue but you also have the micro scratching issues on the A95L. I think that Sony really needs to wake up and get woth the program and make all 4 hdmi ports full bandwidth like the s95c and g3. I also like hiw the g3 has the best and most customizable game optimizer, Hgig and dtm has greatly improved over the years with more refined midtones. I just wish they would change there color spaces to the more recognized terms like bt 2020, dci p3 etc. But everyone's different.
I'm not a super gamer where I can tell the difference between 30, 60 or 120 fps. As long as it's not dropping frames. I think I'm fine but it's ridiculous there's no 4 2.1 hdmi ports.
My issue with this tv is you can't separate the performance vs price when it's this far out of wack. A Few hundred doesn't matter but several thousand? Plus you add all the crazy over praise this is getting. Makes it very disappointing. If the bugs correct themselves next week I'll keep it because other than getting my $2k back I'm not going to gain or lose anything going to a different tv.
@@MichelleAlexandria-EM before I got the G3, I had the sony a8h oled. It's a great tv, but it was buggy at times. It would not start sometimes, had to unplug and plug it back in, also my sonos would lose connection sometimes to
Rtings, digital trends, flatpanelhd, avforums, hdtvtest, all chose the a95l as the clearly superior tv to the g3 and greatest tv ever made. It’s pretty much unanimous and undisputed. Only the lg copium crew and quantum disagree 😂
@@Tommy_93685superior by one point as per the ratings review lol, at $2000 cdn more
Thanks for the video. I always look forward to your comparisons. ClassyTech has a settings video for the LG G3 that shows the Super Resolution will not work unless the Sharpness setting is raised to 20 or higher. Also the AI Picture Pro also works with the Sharpness on 20 and up to give more deph perception. Again, thankyou for taking time to make these videos.
@davidross7255. Hey, nice to hear from you again. Yea, super resolution definitely needs the help of sharpness in order to be effective.
Here in canada the LG G3 77" had a whopping $1200 discount yesterday, a no brainer @ 98% of A95l picture quality.
My only issue with it is that it isn't QD Oled, so colors look muted and missing shades of colors like on every WRGB.
However if LG had QD Oled nobody would even look at the massively overpriced A95L.
@TheDude69696. Hey thank you for the comment and checking out the video. Wow that is a crazy discount. Did you purchase the g3?
Yes sir, got the 77" just in time for the holidays, ready to get into some cyberpunk 2077 phantom liberty.
@@TheDude69696 wow congratulations. Please let me know what you think. I would like to see your opinion
@@TheAntifluencerslightly muted colors or more natural?, that would depend on the preference of the viewer and the content ...The A95l does have the wider color gamut, however that is only harnessed in a handful of scenes in limited content.
Samsung best
I’ve been searching for reasons to buy the G3, and was ALMOST convinced….until I see it beside the S90C-S95C. That QD OLED colour is mind blowing. Sadly, the A95L is out of my current price range, so it’s likely I’d go with the Samsung. This was a helpful video! 🙏🏻👌🏻
@Whitewolf_1186. Hey thank you for the comment and checking out the video. Yea qd oleds definitely bring the color to a much different level. I'm inclined to believe that the h4 is going to do something on their end to compete against it
Great video once again. And very even handed. I love the new fire feature underneath 🔥
@faraichitauro3315. Hey, thank you for the comment and for checking out the video. Means allot. That fireplace I have owned for many years now. I don't use it as much but it was a little cold. Lol
It’s great to see all the best TV’s together and compared. I would love however to see the step down OLED’s like the A80L and C3 against them too to see how much better the top level sets are to justify the higher price??
@videobandit. Hey, thank you for the comment and checking out the video. Yes, I would live to do that, but unfortunately, I am not able to purchase that many tvs. I purchase these tvs and own them. I would think there are other reviewers out there who get them shipped directly to them to review and send back. I'm not there yet, but hopefully one day I will.
You should use the "dci-p3" mode instead of "bt2020" for more natural skintones in comparisons.
@user-lm7wq9xm1p. Hey, nice to hear from you again. I typically have color space in dcip3. Most of the time when watching movie content. But in this particular movie I prefer 2020. I know that the tv can get a higher coverage in dci but 2020 can still bring out the color more even with not covering 2020 as much as dci. Plus when I look at certain skin tones in dci just think it kind of loses color tone a little.
@@consumerreview2k it's the opposite, "dci-p3" is limiting to the p3 gamut, but with more precise colors/ skin tones, whereas "bt.2020" (on the samsung) has higher gamut coverage but with oversaturated skin tones.
Would like to see a tv comparison of different skintones in sdr/ hdr (dci-p3 on s95c, for sony/lg bt 2020 is correct)
You can clearly see at 56:47 how oversaturated the skin tones on the s95c are compared to the sony and lg.
Samsung is a no brainer at this price point
@coolandmellow. Hey thank you for the comment and checking out the video. I've been getting allot of s95c and g3 favored comments so far in this video. I'm actually pleasantly surprised.
@@consumerreview2k people have bills to pay in their lifes, this isn't Disneyworld we are in. I've been thinking the A95L was the right fit for me all year, still doing so. However... Sony are so reluctant to drop the price even after months since release, that it becomes impossible for most without becoming financially unresponsible. I now understand the Anger and frustrations people have towards Sony, if you can get a 77 S95C or 77 G3 for 2500 or less you should and MUST go for that, as it won't get any cheaper from there.
The orange tones pop more on the Samsung than the other two ,if you look at the top right cloud
@coolandmellow. Hey thank you for the comment and checking out the video. Which scene are you referring to?
I'm currently in the situation of deciding between these tv's and i'm leaning heavily towards the 77 inch S90C. It has the same panel as the s95C and it's $800 cheaper here in germany.
@user-pt4tm2ol9g.Hey thank you for the comment and checking out the video. Yes the S90C I would say is probably the best overall value. It is probably the most popular seller over the qd oled spectrum.
@@consumerreview2k I just bought a 77 inch S93C today for only 1600€. I thought there must be a pricing error but they told me today the TV had already been handed over to the shipping company. The LG G3 costs 3200€ at its best price. Its a deal breaker for me. I can't wait to play HDR games on it with my 4090 and also watch all my favorite movies again. I also have my eye on the new Alienware 1440p 360hz qd-oled monitor.
Maybe I don't understand much, but for me the one that looks the best is the LG G3
He’s not flexing the full brightness potential of that tv, you can make it look even brighter. Infact it’s the brightest oled if you leave creator intent behind. Cinema home with expression enhancer to brightness preferred looks brighter than standard mode
@s.m.71. Hey, thank you so much for your comment and for checking out the video. Means allot. You don't have to understand the tv to have an opinion on which one you prefer looks the best. If you like the way the G3, it is what you like, and that's just fine. These tvs are built and designed for you to customize them in the best way that you personally prefer. Thats all. It all comes down to personal preference and budget at the end of the day.
@lipiningol1381. Hey. Thank you for checking out the video. The G3 even in this comparison still to me shows that it is overall the brightest out of al them.
Thanks for all your effort OG, Merry Christmas!

Sports! Movies, tv series & cable channels [Kinda no gaming] & getting The A95L 77” for my room! Which is kinda brighty but near as brighty as the living room!.. Especially for Movies, tv series & Gaming! & no sports unfortunately as a soccer, boxing , tennis & many sports fan cause of the logo dimming!😏 have u seen it in soccer or hockey field that include it a flag?, & i heard it dim down significantly! Not as the G3 (in sports) so whats ur thoughts, opinion on what i want to do?😄, do agree on the plan? Both of these tvs are my favorite! & even if i get the S95C i would be extremely happy! Such a Great Tv!!. Have a nice holiday!.
S95C and A95L too close to pay double the price for the Sony. Think I may actually get the S95D, if A95L doesn't come down in price significantly.
@Manuel.Medellin. Nice to hear from you again. Howve you been? The time is getting closer and closer for you to get a new TV huh? I better be one of the 1st people you tell of when you buy your new TV. Cause I know we have been chatting for a while now about this. So don't forget about cause I would love to know what you end up deciding which tv you have purchased and interested to see your thoughts are when you have it all set up. Thank you for your support. It is really cool to gear from you as often as I do and I feel lucky to have you as a consistent commenter. Thank you. So much
G3 game mode next to the a95l is an outright embarrassment and an abomination lol $3500 for a g3 is a total ripoff.
@Tommy_93685. Hey, thank you so much for your comment and checking out the video. I think that they both have their strengths over each other. I actually did a recent video about game mode in all 3 tvs S95C, A95L, and G3. But specifically, since you are only commenting about the A95L a d the G3, I will just reply back about those only. The advantage I experience with the A95L is that the brightness is slightly brighter than the g3. The And makes the PS5 automatically tone maps the ps5. Once you connect it, the A95L is via Hdmi wire. It's nice how it's auto compatibility to give you the best and most optimized picture performance. As long as you keep your input signals on auto and hdr signal on auto. And when you turn live color on, it helps with the vibrancy of colors. Plus, it has more fine details, so when playing a game that is extremely detailed, the A95L does the best job at displaying that over any tv I have ever owned. But the game menu is honestly a joke on the A95L. The most basic game mode in the tv market. And the fact that you can't fine tune game black levels can be a nuance. The fact that the A95L only provides 2 2.1 hdmi ports sometimes makes me feel like a sucker. It's like sonys way of saying you're gunna to buy my tv and like it and there's nothing you can do about it. Now, with the G3, this is again my personal experience with it. Gaming is solid. Never once have I ever had any connection issues. It's the most reliable signal receiving tv I ever had in my life. They really are the best at it. The alpha 9 processor is neck and neck with sonys xr processor. People can say all they want that Sonys processing is the best, but LG is literally right there with it and better in some ways than Sonys. For example. Sometimes, sonys os system lags. Or gets glitchy with sound syncing while gaming. Never had any of those issues with any LG tv I ever owned, and I owned plenty of them.oled and led. The gaming optimizer for the LG G3 is hands down the best gaming menu you can possibly have compared to any tv out there. You can fine tune your black levels multiple different ways. It has a white stabilizer, which is fantastic. If you adjust it according to your liking and game your playing and can give you the warmest color temp through the white balance, select out of the 2 tvs. Motion is the most reliable in gaming with the g3. Although the A95L has definitely improved that significantly since last year, the g3 is trusted in motion. As far as picture quality goes, although the G3 cannot get as colorful as the A95L but what the G3 has over the A95L is the 3d pop. And I am not willing to lose that for more color personally because the color on the g3 is still good enough. It may not be brighter than the A95L either, but it's perfectly fine for most people. Plus the fact that the g3 has 4 2.1 hdmi ports is also an advantage as it does simplify things. Yes I do like the A95L better primarily because the fine details and live color spoil me but the 3d pop spoils me too. And the A95L has a much better sound system built in through the tv so gaming is more immersive and lifelike for that reason. Just again sometimes you do notice audio syncing not working correctly. It's all personal preference based and value based
*So which of the three do you prefer yourself?*
@bushgreen260. Hey thank you for the comment and checking out the video. Man I'd say overall I am liking the A95L. The G3 is my close 2nd. There both built with such high quality. I do think the g3 has a better overall build quality, and better 3d pop. The A95L has better sound quality and better fine details without having to customize it to get hose fine details as much. Processing is equal to me as they have an even amount of trade offs. I do like gaming on both of them equally but I do like the game optimizer on the g3 more than game mode on the A95L because it's more customizable. But man it's really hard because live color on the A95L spoils you after you realize how it helps with the vibrancy of the colors. But the g3 can get warmer looking too. It's really tough but I would say the A95L to me has the slight edge cause the way it can bring out fine details. Value wise I would say the g3
@@consumerreview2k thanks for the reply
@@consumerreview2k You've said it yourself, A95L by the tiniest of margins, however market price doesn't reflect that. Sony is nearly twice the price of the others. You'd be a poor / unresponsible decision maker in life to go for A95L.
Maybe things change and the A95L becomes reasonable value in 2024, but I kinda refuse to believe it now.
The LG G3 has a more clean cinema look to it then the Sony A95L to me. I feel like the Sony A95L QD-OLED looks better for video games hands-down. But for movies LG G3 MLA is the right look for movies watching. Hoping and crossing fingers that Sony will have MLA OLED from LG displays in their next new molds like the Sony A80’s…
@shannonharris6563. Hey thank you so much for your comment and for checking out the video. Means allot. Yes I do feel that certain picture modes between all 3 tvs displayed on videos have there advantages over one another. I do like the way the depth perception looks better in filmmaker of the g3 but I really like the color management in professional mode of the A95L. I just think the fine details are displayed cleaner just a hair more compared to the g3. So they really do trade blows. I think if any one of these 2 tvs can be able to lull if that 3d pop that the LG is known and at the same time have fine details and color like the sony can do. Along with great motion processing, that would be the perfect idealistic tv. And it all comes down to the processing at this point. I hope LG figures out how to get more color out of there tv because they certainly have the color space settings available to pull it off. And they certainly have the processing engineer's to be able to make it happen
The LG G3 looks the best in my eyes

S95C filmmaker mode looks way darker than the reference settings on the other TVs. And that matches with my personal experience with s95C. The filmmaker mode is just too dark and crushes shadow detail. Even my old LG B8 looks overall brighter with cinema settings than S95C does with filmmaker.
Did you find S95C filmmaker too dim in darker scenes?
@ekiandersson3906. Hey, thank you for the comment and for checking out the video. Yes, I have actually posted a video comparison about this and in filmmaker mode while upscaling low bit rate content, the s95c was the tv that was overall the dimmest between the S95C, G3 and A95L.
@@consumerreview2k Thanks for making these videos, they are really helpful for people trying to find out what the differences between these sets are. I got a S95C, but have been contemplating about swapping it for G3, as I'm having a bit of trouble setting it up they way I'd like to. These comparisons are super helpful for deciding if changing the TV is worth it or not.
@ekiandersson3906 hey thank you for the kind words. What kind if trouble are you having? Maybe I can help?
@@consumerreview2k Thanks for asking. I'm finding S95C to look a bit too dim and flat on filmmaker mode. Active tone mapping fixes that issue, but actually makes some titles uncomfortably bright. Contrast enchancer is a middle ground brightness wise, but seems to wash out colors (especially reds) in some bright scenes, unlike active tone mapping. I'm wondering if G3 picture modes and Dolby vision support would give more consistent and better results. I'm still not sure, if S95C issues are due to lack of Dolby vision or just related to how Samsung picture modes work.
Leaving a like and a comment for the algorithm
G3 has the warmest pic and dude , it’s just that QDOLEDs can’t produce cyan as good as woled. Blue is best represented on woled , the difference in skin tones in the last shot is massive. They just don’t look as good on qdoleds. G3 blue is what they are supposed to look like
@lipinimgole1381. Hey thank you for the comment and checking out the video. The G3 can get to the most warmest setting out of all 3 tvs in my opinion. And I do agree on your other points too. I di find that darker skin tones loom better on the A95L while lighter skin tones look better on the g3.
G3 Cyan luminance 456 nits. A95l cyan 741. Nice try. Lg fanboys super copium guzzling.
@@Tommy_93685 dude I’m talking about what’s visible to naked eye, not numbers . See any comparison and look for cyan . Who’s fanboy here ? I don’t own any of the theee companies to be fanboy . Look at the avatar color (not surrounding but the character) and tell me it doesn’t look off on qdoled be it Samsung or Sony. Sometimes higher saturation is detrimental. S95C is way way more bang for buck than a95l , I guess you purchased it and now you are on coping rn for the double price you paid for slightly better quality
the motion looks way better on the LG G3 in this comparison.
@pablozapata9694. Hey nice to hear from you again. Yes it does but that is because I turned motion smoothing on. If it wasn't for that the motion would have way to much judder. It was bothering me way to much.
@@consumerreview2k so does the A95L have better motion than the LG G3 overall without motion enhancements turned on?
I wish you would add to these tests the Hisense U8 and the Sony x90l
@vulcanlogic544. Trust me, if I could I would. If I can just review tvs all day everyday I would do that.
@@consumerreview2k make it happen ... Reach out to manufacturers or find a tv store that will allow you to test them all together. DO IT
Smooth gradation on high while watching bluray movies? Seems like your just destroying detail for no reason.
@Korohh. Thank you for the comment and for checking out the video. Means a lot. See, I thought the same exact thing. I literally was on my tv checking to see if there were any differences at all that would have an impact on the details, gradation, or anything. Low medium or high. And through physical disc, it didn't do a single thing, so I just kept it on high. I truly and honestly couldn't find any difference. Then I went on to see if I found a difference when 4k content cause I will tell you literally 99% of the time I like gradation on low. And I still noticed some color banding, especially in scenes with either specular highlights and in dark sky light scenes. So one time, I just said to myself, "Let's see if smooth gradation on medium or high work is better when streaming 4k. And to my pleasant surprise, it did. Now, this is if you are indeed speaking of smooth gradation, correct? Not gradation preferred in Hdr tone mapping specifically for the A95L, right?
This was a great side-by-side comparison - Thanks! I have the A95L, my only issue is I can't find dolby vision settings anywhere on it. If I watch a 4k disc, that has DV, shouldn't I have a choice of dolby vision light or dark somewhere on the A95L? I'd appreciated any thoughts you might have. (I only watch movies on the TV, no gaming) Thank you!
The A95L supposedly does not have support for Dolby Vision. Although I am not 100% sure with this answer, I do remember seeing other folks complaining about this a few days ago on either a series of CZcams videos or on a few reddit threads that I was browsing through.
@@NippleSauce Thanks for the info. The TV's great,
this dolby vision is a mystery.
@@jgmlive Just a random guess; but could it perhaps be that the default colors on the A95L already look DV enhanced, hence why there isn't an option for it?
@@NippleSauce I've seen some reviews where they select between a dark and light mode DV. I can't find that option. I can select hdr10, but nothing about DV. It's weird.
Sony does support DV.
Notice any bugs with the A95L? That’s the only thing holding back my purchase
@nyyjaxxvi9529. Hey, thank you for the comment and for checking out the video. The only bugs I found were that when I switched hdmi ports and back and forth, the sound got really buggy. Also, I have a Sony soundbar connected to the tv and use the A95L as the center speaker, and sometimes, the sound sync is delayed. Other than that, no serious issues
@@consumerreview2k gotcha ok, not too bad. Have you noticed any pink tinting visible in Dolby Vision dark scenes?
@nyyijaxxvi9529 Yes. I forgot which dilby picture mode I was in when I noticed it, though. And i only noticed it when streaming dv content. Physical disc i do not notice it, which i think it's because Physical has embedded Metadata to tell the tv exactly how it wants the picture to look. It's not perfect cause at times there's black crush and artifacts in dark regions of the scene but it still looks better to me because Physical disc have a much higher bit rate versus compressed low bit rate streaming. I typically do not like the way dv looks in either the A95L or G3. I like hdr10 better cause it looks brighter to me while also keeping the low - and mid-range tones intact. Seems like colors have more purity, too. And if you like to dim it down through the tvs settings, you can. It's easier to tone down settings on a tv than to tune up because there are fewer sacrifices to make. Just what I've noticed personally.
@@consumerreview2k that’s super helpful, thanks! So doesn’t seem like a major dealbreaker
@@consumerreview2k just got my A95L and definitely noticing how poor Dolby Vision looks so I have to imagine Sony will address this. SDR and HDR look absolutely fantastic though.
OGCOD...bro can you just leave preset on game optimizer mode without changing any settings..get back to me please..thx
@deebrown5744. Hey thank you for the comment and checking out the video. Yes you can. I do think it will limit the amount of brightness you get if your asking me this to watch movie content.
How much brightness will you lose
@@deebrown5744 my guess is about 100 to 200 nits compared to standard mode. But I'm not exactly sure. It is definitely noticeable enough to bother a person who wants the optimal brightness performance that the g3 provides for sure.
Hi @ogcod
Its possible to give me your settings for hdr, dv and sdr movie for my g3
Thanks a lot
@sebastiendruon7178. Hey thank you for the comment and checking out the video. I will double check my settings and see but my preferences can be very different them what you are looking for when watching in DV. What kind if look are you looking to achieve when watching in DV if you don't mind me asking?
@@consumerreview2k Thank you for your answer.
I observe a lot of tingling and grain on streaming (Prime, Netflix). I find that this does not highlight the quality of the TV.
I'm looking for that "Wow" effect that everyone talks about.
I would like a clean, warm image with a nice pop effect in HDR and DV!
It's nice to copy me your settings which look magnificent on your videos
example of what I have at the moment: czcams.com/users/shorts05BpeIYDr_o?si=gJkVNsV1j4dv7lVn
I have a samsung it's good graphics but everything else is shocking xbox always switching on turning tv on watching the screensaver always pops up every update they downgrade that's mu problem
U should compare it all tvs on their Filmmaker mode without changing settings
@hamadmalik2200. I have a similar comparison running demos in filmmaker for the s95c and g3 and in professional mode in the A95L. Basically, I'm turning off any picture enhanced settings that I'm able to turn off so that they can be compared as natively as possible while at the same in their most respective accurate picture modes. Again, filmmaker and professional mode. But it was not physical disc. It was 4k streaming demos
I don't like the LG in the space you no see the Star it's too dark and you lose detail
@30:00 you switched all the TVs from Filmmaker mode to Standard mode. Whoa!!!
Is there anyone other than 10 people in the film industry who don't appreciate color and prefer Filmmaker mode? 🤣🤣🤣
If you switch Standard to Warm1 or Warm 2 and change color a bit, it's really difficult to look at Filmmaker mode and think it's a nice mode. Their standard modes look very similar to Sony's which means that LG and Samsung changed their modes to match Sony's (what took them so long???)
I cannot imagine watching Life of Pi in Cinema mode on a 3d TV.... That movie is all about color and brightness.
@techsamurai11. Hey, thank you for the comment and for checking out the video. Oh boy, I hear you. Well, what I did was apply settings prior to making the video, making sure the warm color settings did not change when switching through picture presets. Here is what I noticed about filmmaker mode. On a projector screen and projector. I like filmmaker mode better than on a tv. It feels more like the movies, and I like that feeling. It reminds me of being in a movie theatre but at home. Filmaker mode on a tv just doesn't look right to me ever. It's a completely different look because it's panel technology. And when panel technology has a creation of filmmaker mode to give you a more theatre like experience, it doesn't work well because it's not a projector that projects an image to a projector screen. I think we subconsciously know this, and that's why we love watching movies at the movie theatre but hate filmmaker mode because it is not the same.
Contrast enhancer on high on the s95c ? This is rubbish image quality.
@carlosreeves2434. Hey, thank you for the comment and for checking out the video. Contrast enhancer on the S95C are probably the ones out of the 3 that have the most impact on picture quality as its nit as refined as the A95L and the G3. But I do like it when watching bright colored movies like Avatar way of the water because it really can make scenes more lifelike. I know it loses details and blows the highlights, though. But in a movie like Avatar Way of the Water, I'm willing to lose that for the fain of the life, like picture and color it can bring out. I did not see a significant drop on details in dark scenes or midtones either. It helped make the colors look more vibrant, even though technically, it has nothing to do with improving colors directly it indirectly has an impact on how colors are displayed. But again, these are features that may differ depending on the type of content you're playing. Not including if you are streaming, too. Just wanted to share my thoughts on contrast enhancer and what I have noticed when enabled or disabled thats all.
The G3 has such an insane amount of Depth to it.
@WhiteshadowTV. Hey thank you for the comment and checking out the video. It sure does. I have heard ppl say that it's only because of dynamic tone mapping that contributes to how in depth it looks. But I feel like DTM actually washes out the picture and loses its depth. If you look at the thumbnail. I used that as a hidden example to see if someone would notice. But looking at the flame in the thumbnail. You will see that the g3 loses details and its because dtm is on. Yes its still has the depth in most of the regions of the scene but loses the depth in the flames with DTm on.
BFI comparison coming soon?
@jimpayne9488. Hey thank you for the comment and checking out the video. Actually yes that is on my list to do either next or after the next. Please LMK if you have anything particular in mind you would like to see within that comparison. Thank you
How much does BFI:
1. Reduce brightness
2. Effect color accuracy
3. Introduce flicker
4. Cause black crush
5. Improve motion clarity
And just overall picture quality opinions from you. The best set would ideally engage BFI but remain as close to reference picture quality as possible. I really appreciate your testing and insight. It’s impossible to compare BFI in a store and other channels usually don’t discuss it. Thanks!
dude play something. no motion handling review !!!

A95 best off all
@lucagiacobbe4889. Hey thank you for the comment and checking out the video. It is my personal favorite tv at the moment too. Overall favorite. I think that the g3 and the s95c definitely has there advantages but overall I gotta go woth the a95l.
