If you prioritize picture quality for movies and plan to watch in a darker environment, the LG A2 OLED will offer deeper blacks and more vibrant colors. However, it is more expensive and not as bright, so it might not be the best choice for very sunny rooms. On the other hand, the Sony X93L LCD is less expensive and performs better in bright rooms, with higher brightness and reflection handling. It also offers better sound quality and is better suited for gaming, due to a higher refresh rate. Give Feedback

The Sony X93L (LCD) and LG A2 (OLED) are both very good for news, talk, & other TV.

Al Griffin | August 2022
"Movie fans will find a lot here to love, and the A2 series’ low prices compared with other OLED TVs will keep their wallets happy. Images had the deep blacks and detailed shadows typical of the best 4K TVs, while colors looked both fully saturated and clean. Also, the A2’s out-of-box picture performance in Filmmaker mode was mostly accurate, requiring only slight adjustments to optimize brightness, color, and contrast."
