I wanted to go with Sony but its rollout of VRR & ALLM has seen issues from what I've read and their newest displays don't yet support Dolby Vision Gaming. The LG C1 I just got is my primary gaming display and I wanted as many gaming features as possible. It seemed to me that the LG offered all the features I wanted while still offering a great picture.Why get LGover Sony?
I did research before I purchased and by that I mean I watched a lot of videos from various sources, lol. But the common point I kept hearing was that if you're a gamer the LG C1 was the best choice. But if not then the Sony A80J or A90J offered superior picture quality but as I said lacked the gaming features. Plus the LG C1 was almost $200 cheaper.
Because they work, and aren’t overpriced. I have 4 HDMI 2.1 inputs and got a 77” for cheaper than a 65 A90J.Why get LG
Don’t feel bad, LG OLEDs are amazing. look at the shootouts all the OLEDs are so close. Not worth the premium just for the name SONY.
Did they even ever deliver that promised firmware that people were waiting over a year for? Lol great CS Sony.

Amazing deal.
I have the 55 inch and its vibrant colors and deep blacks are amazing, plus all the gaming features are awesome. But yes, this model does not handle reflections well at all. I'm using it in my bedroom for gaming and where I can block out all natural light but I won't get the bigger model for the living room where I watch movies since I have large windows making its nearly impossible to totally shutout the light. I'm leaning towards this new Samsung QN90 or Sony A90J if I can find it cheaper.
I was afraid of that. I was going to go A90, but this looked really nice in person. I didn't go look at an A90 in person yet though. I was just looking at the reviews and videos online. I always keep our windows wide open, and reflections would be a deal breaker. If the A90J is also very reflective, that will be out of my running.
It's because it's significantly dimmer than the top LED's.
Amazing, bright and burn in free Sony alternative.
I would have to go with the 75 inch. So that would have less glare. But would it be as good as the A90?
Brighter=less glare.
All nice tv's are glossy but not all are high nit/Bright.
The X95J smokes any OLED is brightness which results in less glare.
Thank you sir. $2999 isn't bad for a quality Sony TV that is 75 inches. But then again, watch them come out with 8K next year for $2999 at 75 inches, and I will be behind again
If you're referring to the LG C1 OLED its not significantly dimmer, but is slightly dimmer than the equivalent Sony. I've seen both side by side at multiple times in the lead up to my recent purchase at my local Best Buy. They were kind enough to bring a Sony A90J right next to the C1 so I could see them both displaying the same content at the same time and the difference was negligible and in my opinion not worth paying the extra money for, lets not forget all the gaming features Sony's TV still don't have.
From what I've been able to piece together the LG C1 doesn't handle reflections as well is because of the glass like screen and not having that thick layer of anti-reflection/glare slathered onto the screen. And all OLED screen have a slight risk of burn-in. I don't know how Sony mitigates this but on my C1 the TV has multiple systems in place to stop it from happening it like auto-screensaver when content is paused and if the C1 is on for more than 4 hours the next time its powered down it does a pixel refresh to keep the screen clean.
I didn't know your budget....Thank you sir. $2999 isn't bad for a quality Sony TV that is 75 inches. But then again, watch them come out with 8K next year for $2999 at 75 inches, and I will be behind again
Any OLED is significantly dimmer than the X95J.
Plus ABL is terrible on all OLED's which results in brightness dimming quickly.
Funny thing, I noticed recently that my C1 would dim on its own. I've been watching the Netflix show Lost in Space and the screen would get darker on its own during certain scenes which worried me. But it turned out that I didn't disable energy saving mode which fixed the problem.
Yeah you gotta tweak these tv's.
Good you found that issue(asbl) now.
ABL is different.

I just read a review on Costco that this is turned on and CANT Be turned off, ouch! Is that true, because when I go to my particular hotel chain and they have this turned on I hate it with a passion. I dont use such a thing on my current Samsung 4k TV and dont want to. Is it only on C8 line...

Can't say I've noticed it kick in on my C1 yet. In the lead up to my recent purchase I did read that it happens the most during sports broadcasting but I haven't noticed it with extensive basketball viewing.Yeah you gotta tweak these tv's.

I've been really pleased with the purchase of a C1. My only complaint is with handling of reflections which is why I'm looking for something else to replace my old Samsung 9000 in my livingroom. I'm in no hurry though, I want to see what next year's models bring.
OLED definitely have better pictures there's no doubt, but also very reflective and possible burn in (not so much an issue with newer models). I've never had a problem with brightness.
That's debatable.
The brightness part.. if you are coming from a SDR tv or don't have it in a bright room isn't a issue.
I'll say this. I was super skeptical of OLED before I got one to act as a computer monitor. Now I can't imagine going back to a traditional LED tvs. The burn in risk is worth it in my opinion.
