The LG C1 is a great TV and comes at an upper midrange price, generally offering good value. It has excellent performance for gaming and watching sports, and very good picture quality in dark rooms. However, it may not be the brightest in sunny rooms, and its sound quality is good but without great speakers. On the other hand, the Sony A95L is priced at the high end and is usually much more expensive. It offers superior overall picture quality, exceptional gaming performance, and excellent handling of sports content. Its viewing angles and reflection handling are also better than the LG C1, and it comes with great speakers that support Dolby Atmos. Though both perform well in dark rooms, in bright rooms, you may notice that the LG C1 doesn't get quite as bright as the Sony A95L. If sound quality and superior picture are priorities for you and you're okay with a higher price, the Sony A95L would be a better choice. If you're looking for excellent value for money and still get a great TV for gaming and dark room viewing, the LG C1 would be a good fit. Give Feedback
