If you're looking for an affordable option and don't mind compromising on picture quality, the LG UQ7570 offers a budget-friendly choice and can be a good pick for general viewing in bright rooms due to its good viewing angle. However, it has poor overall picture quality and may not be ideal for movie enthusiasts or gamers. On the other hand, the Sony X85K, while typically more expensive, provides a significantly better experience for a variety of content including sports, movies, and gaming, thanks to its higher picture quality, motion processing, and color accuracy. The Sony also has better sound capabilities and more HDMI ports, making it a more versatile choice for a comprehensive viewing and gaming setup. If you're after a higher quality viewing experience and are willing to invest more, the Sony X85K is the better choice. Give Feedback
