The LG G1 OLED offers exceptional picture quality with deep blacks and vibrant colors making it ideal for movies and TV shows in dark rooms. However, the brighter screen of the Sony X95L LCD ensures better visibility in sunny rooms and is great for sports and daytime viewing. Although the LG G1 is less expensive, the Sony X95L offers superior sound with voice commands and adjustable stand positions, which could be beneficial for a better overall entertainment experience. Keep in mind that the Sony model might be better for gaming too, due to its higher brightness if you play in well-lit rooms. Give Feedback

The LG G1 (OLED) is excellent for movies & TV, while the Sony X95L (LCD) is very good.
The LG G1 features perfect black uniformity and contrast thanks to its OLED technology, making it ideal for movies with dark scenes, but it has a narrower color volume compared to the Sony X95L. The Sony X95L, on the other hand, offers better brightness and a wider color volume due to its miniLED backlighting, which enhances HDR content, but falls short in viewing angles and black uniformity compared to the OLED.

The LG G1 (OLED) is excellent for gaming, while the Sony X95L (LCD) is very good.
The LG G1 provides a superior gaming experience thanks to its best-in-class response time and input lag, making it particularly suited for fast-paced games where quick reflexes are key. The Sony X95L, while providing very good response time and good input lag, does not match the LG G1 in these critical gaming performance areas, potentially making it slightly less optimal for the most competitive or reaction-time sensitive gaming scenarios.

The Sony X95L (LCD) is excellent for cartoons & animation, while the LG G1 (OLED) is very good.
The LG G1 is noted for its very good colors straight out of the box and a color gamut that greatly enhances the vibrancy and variety of hues, which are both very important for animation. However, the Sony X95L, while matching the LG in out-of-the-box color quality, offers superior color volume, which can present a more nuanced and vivid picture throughout different shades and lighting conditions, making it excellent for animated content.

The Sony X95L (LCD) is excellent for news, talk, & other TV, while the LG G1 (OLED) is very good.
The LG G1 excels at presenting news, talk shows, and TV programs due to its perfect contrast, wide viewing angles, and sharp upscaling of lower-resolution content; however, its SDR brightness might be insufficient for very bright rooms. Conversely, the Sony X95L, with its superior SDR brightness, ensures clear on-screen content even in brighter environments, and while its contrast is slightly lower than that of the LG G1, it still delivers good upscaling and color accuracy for these types of content.

The Sony X95L (LCD) is best in class for bright room, while the LG G1 (OLED) is good.
The Sony X95L performs exceptionally in bright rooms due to its higher SDR and HDR brightness, making it ideal for such environments, though its reflection handling is slightly less effective than the LG G1, which has excellent reflection handling. However, the LG G1, being an OLED TV, offers perfect contrast and vibrant colors which are somewhat important, but its lower brightness compared to the Sony X95L makes it less suitable for very bright rooms.

The LG G1 (OLED) and Sony X95L (LCD) are both very good for sports.
The LG G1 excels in fast response times and wide viewing angles, making the action in sports look very smooth, which is essential in fast-paced games, but it may struggle with reflections in bright rooms. In contrast, the Sony X95L provides exceptional motion processing with less blur during fast movements and handles reflections well but has a narrower viewing angle which could be a drawback for group viewing.
