The Sony A95L (OLED) is best in class for sports, while the Samsung Q60C (LCD) is only fair.
The Sony A95L (OLED) excels at watching sports due to its superior motion processing and instant response time, which ensure clear images with no blur during fast action, alongside excellent handling of reflections and wide viewing angles, making it ideal for group viewing. In contrast, the Samsung Q60C (LCD) has slower response time and less effective motion processing, which may result in more motion blur during sports; it also has a lower reflections handling capability, which can be a problem in brightly lit environments.

The Sony A95L (OLED) is best in class for cartoons & animation, while the Samsung Q60C (LCD) is good.
The Samsung Q60C has good color performance straight out of the box, but the Sony A95L stands out as best in color reproduction, offering a wider color gamut and excellent color volume that enhance the vibrant hues typically seen in cartoons and animation. Although both TVs are suitable for cartoons, the Sony A95L's superior gray uniformity and contrast will lead to more uniform colors and deeper blacks, which are particularly important for colorful animated content.
