If you want deep blacks and impressive contrast, especially for movies or gaming in dark rooms, go for the LG B2 OLED. It is also less expensive. However, its screen isn't as bright, which could be a disadvantage in sunny rooms. On the other hand, the Sony X95K LCD is better for watching in bright rooms and has good built-in speakers. While it's more expensive than the LG B2, its screen is brighter, which helps in well-lit conditions, but it doesn't deliver the same level of black depth as the OLED. Give Feedback

The LG B2 (OLED) and Sony X95K (LCD) are both very good for gaming, though the LG B2 (OLED) is somewhat better.
The LG B2 OLED stands out with its exceptional response time, making fast-moving images appear more fluid, crucial for gaming, and its input lag is very low, ensuring quick reactions to on-screen action. On the other hand, while the Sony X95K LCD also features a very good response time and low input lag for responsive gameplay, it cannot surpass the nearly instantaneous response time of the LG B2 OLED.

The Sony X95K (LCD) is best in class for bright room, while the LG B2 (OLED) is good.
The Sony X95K outshines the LG B2 for viewers in bright rooms largely because it scores excellently in both SDR and HDR brightness, while also handling reflections very well. Although the LG B2 offers perfect contrast which is integral for deep blacks and has excellent color gamut and good color volume for vibrant images, its brightness level is rated as good, which is less suitable than the Sony for brightly lit environments.

The LG B2 (OLED) and Sony X95K (LCD) are both very good for sports.
Watching sports on the LG B2 OLED provides excellent motion processing and reflections handling with wide viewing angles, ensuring vibrant and clear images from most perspectives, which is essential in group settings. On the other hand, the Sony X95K excels in motion processing with fast response times but offers narrower viewing angles, making it less ideal for large groups spread out across the room.

In comparison, the Sony X95K (LCD) also offers very good color accuracy immediately upon usage and a good color gamut, benefitting color-rich content but may fall slightly behind the LG B2 in terms of the richness and depth of colors.

Although they have very similar scores, PerfectRec considers Sony X95K (LCD) to be excellent for news, talk, & other TV, while the LG B2 (OLED) is very good.
The LG B2 delivers strong contrast and local dimming, providing clear images for news and talk shows; however, it's outshined by the Sony X95K's excellent SDR brightness, making it better suited for well-lit rooms. Both TVs offer pleasing colors straight out of the box and wide color gamuts, but the X95K's superior upscaling prowess ensures even lower-resolution content appears crisper, enhancing the viewing experience for everyday TV programs.

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."
