The LG A1 OLED has exceptional picture quality and performs admirably in a dark room, making it ideal for movies and gaming in such environments. However, it's not as bright, which means it's not the best choice for very sunny rooms. The Sony X95J, on the other hand, is brighter and better suited for well-lit environments; it has superior motion processing, making it a strong candidate for sports and action-packed content. Bear in mind, the Sony X95J is generally more expensive. Give Feedback

The Sony X95J (LCD) is excellent for news, talk, & other TV, while the LG A1 (OLED) is very good.
The LG A1 excels in upscaling and viewing angles, which enhances the clarity of broadcast content like news and talk shows, but its average SDR brightness might not be ideal for well-lit rooms. The Sony X95J, on the other hand, offers better SDR brightness and local dimming, which improves visibility in brighter environments, while its superior upscaling ensures a crisp image from lower resolution content. Both TVs have good color accuracy out of the box and a wide color gamut for vivid colors, with the Sony edging out slightly in local dimming, delivering better contrast in mixed scenes.
