If you prioritize exceptional overall picture quality and are willing to invest in a high-end price range, the Sony A95L could be an excellent choice. It offers top-tier gaming performance, sports viewing, and movie experiences. However, it's less optimal for bright rooms compared to its potential in darker settings. The LG B2, on the other hand, comes at an upper midrange price and still delivers strong performance across movies, sports, and gaming, but it won't match the Sony in picture quality. Its bright room performance is somewhat better than the Sony but is still not its strong suit. The Sony A95L also provides superior sound quality and a higher refresh rate which can be particularly beneficial for gaming and high-speed content. Both TVs support popular HDR formats, but the Sony includes more advanced speaker features. Ultimately, if budget is a consideration and you're looking for a balance between cost and performance, the LG B2 is a compelling option. If you're seeking the best visual experience and built-in sound and cost is less of a concern, the Sony A95L is a standout choice. Give Feedback

The Sony A95L (OLED) is best in class for sports, while the LG B2 (OLED) is very good.
The Sony A95L is the superior choice for watching sports due to its perfect response time, and best-in-class motion processing, which ensures fast-paced action is displayed with exceptional clarity without blur. While the LG B2 also provides excellent response time and good motion processing, these features are not as advanced as the Sony's, and it may struggle slightly more with fast movements and might not handle reflections as effectively as the A95L, although both have wide viewing angles and handle reflections well.

The Sony A95L (OLED) is best in class for gaming, while the LG B2 (OLED) is very good.
The Sony A95L excels in gaming due to its superior response time and input lag characteristics, which are both rated as best, along with a higher refresh rate of 144Hz compared to the LG B2, which also offers excellent response time and very good input lag but at a lower refresh rate of 120Hz. This means the Sony A95L is more responsive and smoother for fast-paced gaming, but potentially at a higher cost compared to the LG B2.

Tom's guide
Nick Pino | March 2023
"The LG B2 OLED pairs lush, saturated colors and perfect contrast with a 120Hz screen, HDMI 2.1 ports and a great smart TV platform. The LG B2 OLED is an ideal alternative to the LG C2 OLED for folks who want a taste of OLED life without the sticker price that usually comes with it. The LG B2 OLED does a lot right in terms of performance, color saturation is wonderful and contrast is second-to-none. Not only did color saturation and off-axis viewing impress me, harder to quantify specs like motion processing and upscaling really blew me away as well."
