The LG C1 OLED comes at a typically much less expensive price compared to the Sony X95L LCD. The OLED technology in the LG C1 offers deep blacks and a wide range of colors, which is particularly advantageous for movie enthusiasts or for use in a darker environment. However, the Sony X95L, while more expensive, will provide a brighter display due to its LCD technology with mini LED backlighting. This makes the Sony X95L more suitable for well-lit rooms and possibly a better experience with HDR content. Additionally, the Sony model is larger, which might be worth considering if you want a bigger screen and have sufficient space. Give Feedback

The Sony X95L (LCD) is excellent for cartoons & animation, while the LG C1 (OLED) is very good.
The LG C1 OLED exhibits superb color accuracy straight out of the box which ensures that cartoons and animations appear in the creators' intended hues without much need for calibration, and with an OLED panel, it offers perfect blacks and contrast. On the other hand, the Sony X95L LCD delivers an excellent color volume making colors in animations pop, especially in bright rooms; however, being an LCD, it may not match the absolute blacks of the LG C1.

The LG C1 OLED TV excels at upscaling lower-resolution content and offers near-perfect contrast for deep blacks and great shadow detail, making it very good for viewing news and talk shows.

The Sony X95L (LCD) is best in class for bright room, while the LG C1 (OLED) is good.
The Sony X95L (LCD) handles bright rooms better than the LG C1 (OLED) due to its higher SDR and HDR brightness capabilities and slightly better management of reflections. Although the LG C1 offers perfect contrasts and excellent color performance in both volume and gamut, its lower brightness levels compared to the Sony model make it less suitable for well-lit environments.
