The LG C1, being an OLED TV, offers perfect black levels and a wide viewing angle, making it ideal for watching movies and for gaming with its rapid response time and low input lag. However, its screen is not as bright as LCD TVs, which could be a limitation in bright rooms. On the other hand, the Sony X95K is an LCD TV with good brightness for sunny rooms and a high contrast ratio. It has lower perfect black levels compared to OLED, and a narrower viewing angle, making it less optimal for off-angle viewing. The Sony X95K might be better for watching news and reality TV shows due to its brightness and reflections handling. If budget is a concern, the LG C1 often comes at a lower price compared to the more expensive Sony X95K. The LG C1 may also be the preferred choice for gamers and movie enthusiasts, while the Sony X95K can be more suitable for varied daytime viewing in bright environments. Give Feedback

The LG C1 (OLED) and Sony X95K (LCD) are both very good for movies & TV, though the LG C1 (OLED) is somewhat better.
The LG C1 excels at displaying perfect blacks and infinite contrast which enhances movie-watching in dark environments, and its OLED technology ensures uniform blacks and wide viewing angles. On the other hand, the Sony X95K, while offering lower contrast and less consistent black uniformity due to its LCD technology, compensates with excellent color accuracy out of the box and a high brightness that makes it suitable for well-lit rooms.

The Sony X95K (LCD) is excellent for news, talk, & other TV, while the LG C1 (OLED) is very good.
The LG C1 excels in its OLED technology, which provides perfect contrast and wide viewing angles, making it suitable for viewing news and TV shows, especially in darker rooms where its moderate SDR brightness is sufficient.

The Sony X95K (LCD) is best in class for bright room, while the LG C1 (OLED) is good.
The Sony X95K is better equipped for bright rooms due to its excellent SDR and HDR brightness, which outperform the good SDR and HDR brightness of the LG C1, along with highly effective reflections handling, making it superior in this environment compared to the LG C1's excellent reflections handling. While both TVs offer good color volume and gamut with the LG C1 having slightly better contrast, these aspects are less critical in bright room conditions where sheer screen brightness and reflections handling are more pivotal.
