If you prioritize picture quality, especially in dark rooms, and are willing to spend more, the LG A2 OLED TV is a strong choice with excellent contrast and dark room performance. However, its reflective screen may not be ideal for very bright rooms, and it has a higher price. On the other hand, the Sony X95K LCD TV is less expensive and performs better in bright rooms with greater brightness capabilities. It also has a higher refresh rate suitable for gaming. While it offers good overall picture quality, its contrast and black uniformity may be less impressive compared to the LG A2 OLED. Give Feedback

The LG A2 (OLED) is excellent for movies & TV, while the Sony X95K (LCD) is very good.
The LG A2 excels in movie and cinematic TV watching thanks to its top-tier contrast, perfect local dimming, and exceptional black uniformity, which ensure deep blacks and vivid picture quality, as well as its wide viewing angles, which allow for consistent viewing from different seating positions. On the other hand, while the Sony X95K offers very good contrast and local dimming capabilities, it falls short in black uniformity and viewing angles compared to the LG, but its colors out of the box and color volume are reliable for enjoying a variety of content.

The Sony X95K (LCD) is very good for gaming, while the LG A2 (OLED) is good.
The LG A2 OLED has excellent response time but its 60Hz refresh rate may not be as smooth for gaming compared to TVs with higher refresh rates, while the Sony X95K LCD provides very good response time and supports a 120Hz refresh rate which is better for a smoother gaming experience, but its input lag is only good compared to the very good input lag of the LG A2.

The Sony X95K (LCD) is excellent for news, talk, & other TV, while the LG A2 (OLED) is very good.
The LG A2 OLED performs very well for watching news and TV programs due to its perfect contrast and wide viewing angles, making it versatile for different seating arrangements, but its SDR brightness is just good, meaning it may not be the best choice for very brightly lit rooms. The Sony X95K LCD, while offering excellent SDR brightness that makes it ideal for bright rooms, benefits from its great upscaling and local dimming features which enhance picture quality, but its limited viewing angle and somewhat weaker contrast compared to OLED might be noticeable in a wide seating arrangement.

The Sony X95K (LCD) is best in class for bright room, while the LG A2 (OLED) is good.
The Sony X95K excels in a bright room due to excellent SDR and HDR brightness, which outshine the LG A2's good SDR and HDR brightness, making it more suitable when dealing with ambient light; however, both handle reflections very well. While the LG A2 offers a perfect contrast due to its OLED panel, which is favorable for dark room viewing, it might not be as vivid as the Sony in bright conditions, and although both TVs have very good color gamut and good color volume, Sony's superior brightness may lead to more vibrant colors in a well-lit environment.

The LG A2 (OLED) and Sony X95K (LCD) are both very good for cartoons & animation.
The LG A2 OLED delivers very good colors straight out of the box and has a very good color gamut which is crucial for accurately rendering the vivid and varied hues found in cartoons and animation. On the other hand, while the Sony X95K LCD also provides very good colors without the need for much calibration and a good color gamut, it might not match the pure blacks and infinite contrast ratio of the OLED, making the LG A2 a slightly better choice for animation where these factors are very important.

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."
