    Here is my personal experience. I went to best buy to look at all three. Personally here is my opinion. I am personally a Samsung user, so I wanted to love the S90C. however. It was way too saturated and did feel or look real. also lack of dolby vision/ DTS audio was. deal breaker. LG C3 is great and feel like its a great deal . I then saw the Sony A80L and after seeing all three in person and hours of videos/research I decided on the Sony A80L. why, to me looked like the most natural image and motion look real. I have had the 77 inch A80L for 3 days now and super happy with the purchase.
    I paired it with the appleTv 4k and sonos dolbly atomos (arc, sub and rear speakers)

    Thanks for the video. I've got a Samsung KS7000 from 2016 - still a good TV but it's a 55" and I'd like to upgrade to a 65". Been trying to decide between the Sony and LG. I've got other Sony gear and prefer Google OS, so would prefer the A80L but I'm not sure about the brightness. For some reason when I see the A80L in the store it looks dim compared to the other TVs, but in video comparisons like this there's not a big difference. Maybe I'd be better going for the Sony X95L instead - yes, not OLED but still great.

      I've had Sony TVs for the last 20 years and this year decided to go for the LG G3. I can honestly say the LG G3 is the best TV I've ever seen & it's cheaper than its Sony alternative. Switching from Sony to LG made me realise your paying for the brand name rather than any major quality differences! I'd only go for a Sony if you have spare cash to throw at a TV and don't mind paying an inflated price!

    • @bav2126

      LG will always be cheaper, I have both but Sony has better motion And upscaling And the acoustic surface sound is amazing, XR processor just gives the picture more depth, the G3 is excellent TV better than the s90 . The picture quality Will always be better on a Sony as there TV's are calibrated to HX310 industry standard Oled.

    • @aransingh9140
      @aransingh9140 Před 3 měsíci

      @bav2126 yes I'd totally agree if your looking at the best TV you can buy on the market, you can't beat Sony. However, for 95% of people the LG G3 would be enough as the differences between that and the Sony aren't noticeable enough to most people. I definitely notice the things you've noticed above when watching content but all my family and friends I know wouldn't notice the difference. For that reason I just couldn't justify paying the extra for the Sony.

    I tested the LG G3 and Sony A80L for a month. (Movies, shows, sports)
    I liked both but I did have to calibrate the settings on the G3 way more than the Sony.
    I love the natural colors on Sony and processor detail is just amazing. The brightness is enough for me.
    The G3 is much brighter and slightly better in picture quality than the Sony.

      I'm going to pick out an OLED TV tomorrow, my first one, so I'm pretty stoked. I'm on kinda a tight budget, looking at $1700 or less. So that pretty much narrows it down to the S90C and the C3. Can't really go wrong with either. The A80L is just a hair out of price range, but they do have an open box one for 1550 but I've always been leery about open box purchases with electronics. My buddy says its fine and still can get a warranty but I dunno. My gut is saying just snatch up a C3 and be done with it.

    • @smarthomesounds
      @smarthomesounds  Před 3 měsíci

      It'll come down to your personal preferences. The G3 is considerably brighter than the A80L and offers a very punchy picture. The A80L would still be our choice for a more true to life picture when it comes to colour accuracy and image processing (if your priority isn't brightness). In terms of sound, the G3 was a bit disappointing in our testing. A80L has that Acoustic Surface Audio+ which, as far as TV speakers go, is pretty good!

    • @PradeepKumar-jw6bk
      @PradeepKumar-jw6bk Před 3 měsíci

      ​​@@smarthomesoundsthanks a lot for your response. I don't have priority for brightness. It's just that it's been made such a big deal in review videos that I was worried if I would miss on a big thing if I don't go for G3 as I might keep the TV for long. Most of my TV watching is in night anyway except for Sundays. Will manage that with darker curtains if required. And I also feel A80L would match my preference with the colors and image processing and on top of that the sound. Was hanging between cons and pros of both as A80L is not the top of the line product from Sony whereas LG G3 is, even being in almost same price here in India.

    I just bought the C3 after carefully looking all 3 of these. I found the Samsung over bright and it had a "Pop video" vibe that made some content look un-natural. In the end I didn't feel the Sony was £500 more TV. I've had LG's for 10 years so that's what I went with. I am so impressed with it in situ - Dune was the first thing I watched and it was glorious! HDR in filmmaker mode is superb - content in Dolby Vision looks fantastic, really detailed and cohesive. One Piece leaps off the screen. I'm really happy with the purchase.

      It depends on what you want most in a TV. I just found more negatives with the Samsung. No Dolby Vision. The processing is good but Sony has the best. Samsung QC has declined in the past couple years. The Samsung is brighter but sometimes makes the colors look washed out. Sony thrives in color calibration. When calibibrated the Sony can get pretty bright. It is just the right amount for the scene. I have mine in a room with windows opposite and it does fine in sdr and HDR as well. The Sony just does everything well. If only having 2 HDMI 2.1 vs 4 is an issue, the Sony sound bars add 2 more 2.1 HDMI ports so it wasn't an issue for me. I went with the A75l and saved some money since I already had the sound bar.

Also going with the 77" model is a size upgrade for me. I loved the Sony for color accuracy. The Samsung crapped out right after the warranty ran out so I said never again to them. I have other LG products and nothing but goodness so far from them.

  • @user-ip4hl5sf2l
    @user-ip4hl5sf2l Před měsícem +1

    Anybody in a mental hole regarding these tvs, this is my quick take on user experience...
    If you watch mainly ota tv, in app streaming and value colour accuracy and that Sony "black magic" (its real) then get a80l - it really isnt that "dim" its pretty much the same as C3 bar hdr highlights (about 200nits dimmer). Some shows in dolby vision are very dark, but learn your tvs settings and its fixable (just).
    If you value "gaming" over anything else particularly via Xbox or pc then go LG.
    If you ONLY watch high bit rate content, are on a budget and can afford a calibrater? then go Samsung.
    I returned an S90c because of its terrible upscaling and motion processing with tv and films. High bit rate hdr was stunning though. I nearly went LGs G3 but didnt like that green push plus i didn't need that apocalyptic brightness, so i decided given my main use (ota and streaming + ps5) got an a80l. An a95l would be my over all pick but not at its ridiculous price. Quality tv. Though acoustic surface isnt as good as the reviews make out.
    My living room is relatively dim, and light controlled so the a80l is absolutely fine. And the picture quality across all sources is absolutely stunning. Closest tv i found to rival that rich buttery feeling plasma gives you.
    Movies, tv and ps5 = Sony
    Gaming 'all' and movies = LG
    Fancy buying a new tv in two years = Samsung.
    Panasonic = same as Sony

    Maybe it's just the video and/or camera, but the Samsung blows out the light/white areas from what I'm seeing. There are plenty shots in this video, where if you pause it, you can see some bright areas where the detail is completely lost and not there but you can see it on the other 2 TV's.
    Even the LG seems to have a similar issue but not nearly as much as the Samsung. The Sony seems to retain most of the details and have better control of the light areas.
    Or maybe it's just me, but that's what I'm seeing in this video.

The image and sound quality are out of this world. For me the Sony A80L or 84L will be the winner for my Kitchen Diner after the new Kitchen is fitted next month. The Dining room end has no window, but with Sony it will fit the wall mounted space perfectly connected to a Sony sound bar and PS5.
    Personally having viewed the Samsung in a TV store the colours were just over saturated. The LG well it is that remote. We have a C2 in the Lounge and the magic remote is a pain in the butt.

    Now for the Samsung, i see far more of their sets on my bench than any other, they use underated
    compenents that can't handle the way they drive the panels just to say they are the brigtest,
