The Sony A95K is a high-end OLED TV and is typically more expensive than the LG NANO90, which is a midrange LCD TV. If you value a superior overall picture quality, especially in dark rooms, and top-tier sound, the Sony A95K is an excellent choice. It also has better gaming performance and motion processing, making it a strong choice for gamers and for watching fast-paced content like sports. On the other hand, the LG NANO90, while offering a lower picture quality compared to the Sony, is much less expensive and might be a more budget-friendly option. It still delivers good performance for gaming and sports viewing. If you will use the TV in a bright room, the LG NANO90 performs well, though not as exceptionally as the Sony. Choose the Sony A95K if you prioritize supreme picture quality and can afford the higher cost. Opt for the LG NANO90 if you prefer to save money while still getting a solid overall performance.

"Here we have HDR pictures that look bright, but also manage to typically hit decently deep black levels.WebOS continues, though, to be one of the easiest to use. Connections are strong for a mid-range TV. Native 4K pictures look crisp and detailed."

Caleb Denison | March 2022
"A95K will be one of the highest-performing TVs of the year, if not the hottest TV of 2022. The color on the Sony A95K is the most accurate I have ever seen. Certain hues of red just haven’t been produced on a TV … until now. Perhaps with deeper scrutiny, I may one day find some nit to pick, but in the time I was able to spend with the A95K, I was simply thrilled."
