The Sony X85K (LCD) is only fair for movies & TV, while the LG UP7000 (LCD) is poor.
The LG UP7000 has poor performance for movies and cinematic TV due to its relatively low contrast, absence of local dimming to enhance that contrast, and weaker black uniformity, making dark scenes appear washed out. On the other hand, the Sony X85K offers a fair experience with better contrast and black uniformity, but its local dimming is not particularly effective, and viewing angles may limit the color and contrast consistency across the screen.

The Sony X85K (LCD) is good for sports, while the LG UP7000 (LCD) is only fair.
The Sony X85K is better for sports due to its excellent motion processing and good response time, which minimizes motion blur and makes fast-paced action appear smoother, whereas the LG UP7000 struggles with motion handling and has a poor response time, leading to more motion blur during fast scenes. Additionally, while the LG UP7000 has better viewing angles, making it easier to watch from different positions, it does not handle reflections as well as the Sony X85K, which could be a downside in a bright room.
