If you're looking for a budget-friendly option, the LG C2 is much less expensive and offers great picture quality, especially in dark rooms, thanks to its OLED technology. However, if you have a bright room and watch a lot of daytime TV or sports, the Sony X95L, while more expensive, has a brighter screen that handles reflections better. For movie enthusiasts, the LG C2's superior contrast can make film scenes more immersive. Gamers will appreciate the LG C2's OLED response times, but for larger rooms or those desiring a larger screen, the Sony X95L comes in bigger sizes. Both are solid choices for streaming and general TV viewing. Give Feedback

CNET
David Katzmaier | November 2022
"The C2 offers image quality that's a clear step above any non-OLED TV I've seen. The C2 is rare among high-end TVs in that all four of its HDMI ports support 4K/120, great for hard-core gamers with multiple next-gen devices. The C2 is plenty bright enough for just about any viewing environment. It also outperforms QLED TVs like the Samsung QN90B and TCL 6-Series. That's why I consider the LG C2 the best high-end TV for the money of 2022."
