If picture quality is paramount, especially for movies and dark room viewing, the Sony A90J OLED's excellent overall picture quality, contrast, and black uniformity make it a superior choice. It's also great for sports and gaming due to its motion processing and low input lag, though it's more expensive. However, if budget is a concern and you primarily watch content like news in brighter rooms or need a TV with wide viewing angles, the Toshiba C350LU LCD might satisfy your needs at a lower cost. The Toshiba's performance is notably less impressive in picture quality and is not as well-suited for immersive movie experiences or gaming. Give Feedback
