If you mostly watch movies in darker rooms, the LG B1's OLED display will provide deeper blacks and a wider viewing angle compared to the Sony X95K LCD. However, if you often watch TV in bright rooms, the Sony X95K is better at handling reflections and has a higher peak brightness, which makes it more suitable for well-lit environments. The Sony X95K is also the newer model with a potentially better processing technology, which can improve the manner in which upscaling and motion is handled. Keep in mind that OLED screens have a risk of burn-in when static images are displayed for extended periods, which isn't an issue with LCD TVs. If budget is a concern, the LG B1 is the less expensive option, yet it still offers excellent picture quality for the price. Give Feedback

The LG B1 (OLED) and Sony X95K (LCD) are both very good for movies & TV, though the LG B1 (OLED) is somewhat better.
The LG B1 is exceptional for movies and cinematic TV due to its perfect contrast and black uniformity, which results in deep blacks and high picture quality, while the Sony X95K, despite slightly lower contrast and black uniformity, offers very good color accuracy and strong local dimming which helps maintain detail in darker scenes. Both TVs have good color volume and gray uniformity, although the LG B1 has better viewing angles, making it more suitable for wider seating arrangements, but the Sony X95K compensates with its higher SDR and HDR brightness, making it more adaptable to brighter rooms.

The LG B1 (OLED) and Sony X95K (LCD) are both very good for sports.
The LG B1 OLED has an excellent response time which minimizes motion blur, making it ideal for watching fast-moving sports, and its wide viewing angles ensure that the picture remains accurate for viewers sitting off to the side. On the other hand, the Sony X95K LCD excels at motion processing which also offers a smooth sports viewing experience and is very good at handling reflections, meaning it performs well in brighter rooms; however, its viewing angles aren't as wide as the LG B1's, which could affect those watching the game from an angle.
