The LG QNED90 is typically much less expensive and offers good performance across various content, including sports, video games, and bright room viewing. However, the Sony A95L, while typically much more expensive, provides superior overall picture quality, especially for movies and dark room viewing, thanks to its OLED screen. It also excels in gaming and has great sound quality. If you are on a budget and value gaming performance with a decent experience in both dark and bright rooms, the LG QNED90 could serve you well. On the other hand, if you prioritize top-tier picture quality, movies in a dark environment, and are willing to invest more, the Sony A95L would be an excellent choice. Give Feedback

The Sony A95L (OLED) is best in class for movies & TV, while the LG QNED90 (LCD) is only fair.
The Sony A95L offers exceptional contrast, local dimming, and black uniformity, which are crucial for a rich cinematic experience, particularly in dark scenes where these elements allow for deeper blacks and more detailed shadows. On the other hand, the LG QNED90 delivers good performance in these areas, but with its LCD technology, it may not reach the same levels of darkness, affecting its handling of cinematic content even though it offers a strong overall picture quality with good colors and viewing angles.

While the LG QNED90 (LCD) offers good performance with respectable color gamut and out-of-box color accuracy, it doesn't match the Sony's peak performance in these crucial areas for animation content.
