The LG G2 (OLED) is a great choice if you're looking for a TV that performs exceptionally well in dark room conditions, provides wide viewing angles, and delivers perfect blacks and vibrant colors, which is ideal for movies and general content watching. However, its brightness levels might not be the best for very bright rooms, and while good for gaming, some other TVs might offer lower input lag. On the other hand, the Sony X95L (LCD) shines in brightly lit environments with its superior brightness and reflection handling, making it a better choice for daytime TV watchers or rooms with lots of light. It also has very good color accuracy and is a solid choice for mixed usage including sports and gaming. It's typically more expensive, and while the larger screen size enhances the viewing experience, it might not match the perfect black levels of an OLED like the LG G2 for watching movies in a dark room.

The Sony X95L (LCD) is best in class for bright room, while the LG G2 (OLED) is very good.
The Sony X95L has an SDR and HDR brightness that is considered excellent and very good at handling reflections, which helps it perform well in bright rooms, whereas the LG G2, while offering very good SDR and HDR brightness, doesn't handle reflections as well as the Sony X95L. Regarding color performance, both TVs display an excellent range of colors with the LG G2 having a slight edge in contrast, which can make for a more vivid picture in darker environments compared to the Sony X95L which has a somewhat lower contrast.

The LG G2 (OLED) and Sony X95L (LCD) are both very good for sports.
The LG G2 OLED TV excels in sports viewing due to its perfect black levels and wide viewing angles which remain consistent even from the side, combined with an excellent response to reflections and accurate motion processing. On the other hand, the Sony X95L LCD TV, while it has a lower viewing angle performance, compensates with superior motion handling capabilities and very good reflection handling, making it a strong contender for sports enthusiasts as well.

Although they have very similar scores, PerfectRec considers Sony X95L (LCD) to be excellent for cartoons & animation, while the LG G2 (OLED) is very good.
The LG G2's OLED technology provides excellent colors straight out of the box, with a very good color gamut that makes cartoons and animations look vibrant and accurate. In comparison, the Sony X95L, also performing well with colors out of the box and color gamut, stands out with its excellent color volume, which can make the same content appear richer and more lifelike, particularly on its larger screen.

The Sony X95L (LCD) and LG G2 (OLED) are both excellent for news, talk, & other TV.
The LG G2 OLED excels in upscaling, which is critical for lower resolution content often found with news or talk shows, and delivers exceptional SDR brightness, making it suitable for well-lit rooms. The Sony X95L LCD also provides excellent upscaling and even better SDR brightness, which enhances viewing in very bright environments, but its strength in contrast and local dimming might not be as noticeable in the typical bright settings where news and talk shows are usually watched.
