Made for movie buffs, gamers and sports fanatics, LG's most popular OLED in its premium lineup of TVs is even more impressive with brighter colors, a new, more advanced processor and sleek, slim bezel. It makes a great gaming monitor as well—you'll get low input lag and fast response times with Auto Low-Latency Mode and HGiG compliance, with four HDMI 2.1 connections for consoles, PCs, and sound systems. Stream your games with cloud gaming support for GEFORCE Now. Control your TV and connected devices by voice with support for Google Assistant, Amazon Alexa, Apple AirPlay, HomeKit, and many more (separate device may be necessary). LG's 4K smart TV includes built-in access to Netflix, HBO Max, Prime Video, Disney+, Apple TV, Paramount+, Peacock, YouTube TV, Spotify, iHeartRadio, and more (requires service subscription). *Brighter vs. traditional WRGB OLED panel used in the B and A OLED series and similar sized conventional LG OLED models not including 42-inch, 48-inch C2. **Dolby, Dolby Atmos and the double-D symbol are registered trademarks of Dolby Laboratories. ***Depending on installation environment, there may be a slight gap between the TV and the wall. Installation requirements vary. See installation guide for details.

RTINGS

The best 42-inch TV we've tested is the LG OLED42C2PUA. It's a fantastic TV that delivers stunning picture quality, especially in dark rooms, thanks to its near-infinite contrast ratio. Its OLED panel delivers perfect black uniformity, with no distracting blooming or haloing around bright objects in dark scenes. It's fantastic for a variety of uses, including if you want to use the smaller size as a PC monitor, and its wide viewing angle is great for use as a PC monitor, as the sides of the screen remain uniform even if you're sitting close to the screen. You can also easily share your screen with someone else, and they'll see the same thing you do.

It has great accuracy even without calibration, resulting in life-like images without the added expense of having to calibrate. HDR content looks excellent thanks to the near-infinite contrast and its color gamut that displays a wide range of colors. It also has decent HDR peak brightness to make some highlights stand out, but if peak brightness is important to you, the Samsung QN90B QLED is a 43-inch TV that gets even brighter but doesn't produce the same perfect black levels, so the LG is better overall.

If you want something a bit bigger than the Samsung Q60/Q60A QLED, the best 42-Inch TV we've tested is the LG OLED42C2PUA. This TV delivers remarkable performance compared to other small models. It performs best in dark rooms because it has a near-infinite contrast ratio that produces perfect black levels, and there isn't any blooming around bright objects. It means it's remarkable for watching movies, and the 4k resolution allows you to stream your favorite content in crisp detail.

If you want to use it in a wide seating area or place it in the kitchen and walk around while watching TV, the wide viewing angle means that the image remains consistent as you move off to the side. Even in bright rooms, it has incredible reflection handling, meaning visibility won't be an issue in most rooms. It also has good SDR peak brightness, but if you want something even brighter, check out the Samsung QN90B QLED, which has remarkable peak brightness but doesn't deliver the same perfect black levels as the LG.

If you find typical 24, 27, or 32-inch monitors too small, you should look for larger displays. Although you can easily game on a 55-inch TV, you might find that too big for a desk, so monitor manufacturers are starting to release more large-screen monitors in the 40 to 50-inch range. There are LED options with a 43-inch screen like the Gigabyte AORUS FV43U, and there are slightly larger OLEDs at 48 inches. The advantage these sizes bring you is that they maintain the typical 16:9 aspect ratio, meaning you won't get black bars on the side in certain games like with an ultrawide.

There are a few downsides to this screen size, though. They tend to be expensive, and there aren't many models available, but they're growing in popularity. Also, these monitors don't usually have good ergonomics as they come with fixed stands, so it's harder to move the screen around to share with a friend for co-op gaming unless you have the desk space to move the entire monitor.

The best large-screen gaming monitor we've tested is the LG 42 C2 OLED. It's a 42&quot; TV that's very popular for use as a gaming monitor. It delivers an amazing gaming experience, with a near-instant response time that results in no noticeable blur behind fast-moving objects. It supports variable refresh rate technology and HDMI 2.1 bandwidth on all four inputs, meaning it can take full advantage of the Xbox Series S|X and the PS5. It also delivers fantastic picture quality, with a near-infinite contrast ratio that delivers deep, inky blacks in a dark room with no noticeable blooming around bright objects.

Introducing the next dimension of picture quality, powered by the intelligent Cognitive Processor XR™. Experience astonishing OLED color performance with breakthrough QD-OLED panel technology and XR Triluminos Max. Feel your content come to life with up to 200% as much color brightness of a conventional OLED TV, all being surrounded by the pure black and precisely controlled shadows of XR OLED Contrast Pro.

The Samsung S95B OLED is an impressive TV, but it's a bit limited for watching movies in a home theater setup. If you're looking for a new TV to upgrade your home theater experience, check out the Sony A95K OLED instead. It's a lot more expensive than the Samsung, but it's better for watching movies thanks to its support for Dolby Vision and some advanced codecs like DTS:X, which is commonly used for the main audio track on movies.

It also delivers a better HDR experience thanks to Sony's impressive tone mapping and better image processing. There's less banding in areas of similar color, also known as gradients, and HDR content is displayed closer to how the content creator intended. Its not as bright as the Samsung TV, especially in HDR, as Sony aims for a more accurate image than a bright one, but HDR content looks incredible overall.

The best TV for movies we've tested is the Sony A95K OLED. It's a fantastic TV for watching movies in a dark room. Its near-infinite contrast ratio delivers an incredible dark-scene experience, with deep blacks, bright highlights, and no distracting blooming around bright objects or subtitles. Sony's excellent processing capabilities deliver a true movie experience that respects the content creator's intent, with very little banding in areas of similar color.

HDR movies look incredible on this TV thanks to its high peak brightness in HDR, near-infinite contrast ratio, and wide color gamut. Colors look vivid and lifelike, and bright specular highlights stand out well. It also supports features like Dolby Vision and DTS:X audio, ensuring you get the absolute best movie experience possible. It's also compatible with Sony's BRAVIA CORE streaming service, which offers a wide selection of movies to stream at a much higher bitrate than most streaming services, ensuring your movies look the best they possibly can.

If you want an outstanding home theater setup, check out the Sony A95K OLED instead of the Samsung S95B OLED. It uses a new type of OLED panel, which delivers much brighter colors and a more realistic experience than the previous generation of OLED technology. It stands out, however, thanks to the inclusion of Dolby Vision support and Sony's impressive processing, allowing it to deliver an incredibly immersive movie-watching experience that perfectly recreates the content creator's intention. It also supports a wider range of advanced audio codecs, including DTS:X, one of the most widely used audio formats on UHD Blu-ray discs.

It can display a wider range of colors than the other OLED panels on this list, like the LG C2 OLED. Colors are also much brighter and more vibrant, and bright scenes in HDR stand out better than on other TVs. When you're not watching movies, it also has a great selection of additional features, including many of the same great gaming features found on the C2 and the S95B. It's only available in a 55&quot; and 65&quot; size, which is a bit too small for larger home theater setups, so if you want something a bit bigger, check out the LG C2 OLED below.

Although Sony TVs are typically more expensive than similar models from Samsung or LG, they're usually a safe bet. Sony is well-known for the processing capabilities of their TVs, so it's a great choice for anyone who cares about motion and picture processing or if you care about an accurate image that respects the content creators' intent. Even entry-level Sony TVs deliver great picture quality overall, and most of their TVs have high contrast and great accuracy out of the box. On the other hand, Sony is typically a bit behind other brands when it comes to new technologies, especially when it comes to gaming features. They've recently started adding variable refresh rate support and HDMI 2.1 bandwidth, but these features aren't as widely available as they are on other brands.

Best Sony TV

The best Sony TV on the market is the Sony A95K OLED. It's very similar to the Samsung S95B OLED, as it features the same new QD-OLED panel that delivers incredibly deep, inky blacks, as well as bright, vibrant colors that stand out. It features the amazing processing capabilities that Sony is known for, so it's a great choice for cinephiles looking for the absolute best TV for a basement home theater setup. It's also a great TV for gaming, though, with a nearly instantaneous response time that results in crystal-clear motion handling. It has a few great gaming features, including variable refresh rate support, but its gaming features only work with certain devices, and they're not as widely compatible as the Samsung. If you don't care as much about dark room performance, Sony also makes some impressive LED models, and the Sony X95K is an amazing TV for a bright room.

The best TV for PS5 we've tested is the Sony A95K OLED. It's a fantastic TV that delivers an incredible gaming experience. Its QD-OLED panel delivers perfect blacks, making it a great choice for dark room gaming. It also has incredible motion handling, with nearly-instantaneous response time resulting in no noticeable ghosting around fast-moving objects. It has low input lag for a responsive gaming experience, and it supports HDMI 2.1 bandwidth on two of its HDMI 2.1 ports, meaning you can game at 4k @ 120Hz for the best visuals and smoothest motion possible.

It's part of Sony's 'Perfect for PS5' lineup, which includes a few Sony-exclusive features designed for PS5 gamers. It has Auto HDR Tone Mapping, which automatically optimizes the HDR settings for your specific TV, ensuring you get the best HDR experience possible without having to manually play with the settings. If this isn't that important to you, the Samsung S95B OLED is a very similar TV that performs just as well, but it's much cheaper. The Samsung TV doesn't support these Sony-specific features, so you may have to play around with your TV and PS5 settings to get the best HDR experience.

Linus Tech Tips

 1. We're basically just shifting the issue from one region to another, as you can see not only from this quantization test pattern, but also in this heavily compressed dark sequence from Game of Thrones where additional posterization would be brought to the fore despite the welcome improvement in image depth. 2. Due to how Sony has designed its televisions, any adjustment to the black level setting in SDR would carry over to HDR on the same input, affecting the peak brightness and EOTF tracking however slightly, which will require further correction down the line

 To achieve this sort of minimalistic design, a very heavy stand has to be placed behind the TV to act as a counterweight, and for stability reasons, the screen has to lean back slightly at a 3 degree angle, which we swiftly got used to after a while. There's also the option of putting the stand at the front of the screen, but due to its bulk, we suspect that most people who want to place the Sony 895K flush against the wall will probably just wall mount the TV using the VESA compatible mounting holes. Hiding the onboard speakers is also integral to the monolithic slab design, and the Bravia 895K is equipped with Sony's Acoustic Surface Audio Plus technology, which uses two actuators and two subwoofers to generate sound from the screen itself. Sound quality was very good as far as TV speakers go, delivering impressive bass, volume, tonal balance and dialogue clarity, with one highlight being the precise audio localisation to different parts of the picture on screen

 Hiding the onboard speakers is also integral to the monolithic slab design, and the Bravia 895K is equipped with Sony's Acoustic Surface Audio Plus technology, which uses two actuators and two subwoofers to generate sound from the screen itself. Sound quality was very good as far as TV speakers go, delivering impressive bass, volume, tonal balance and dialogue clarity, with one highlight being the precise audio localisation to different parts of the picture on screen. The QD OLED panel on the Sony 895K is reinforced to a thicker degree than that of the Samsung S95B, partly to accommodate the additional heat dissipation layer, but hopefully this will also mean that the 895K won't suffer from unwanted flexing and bending issues which affected some S95B units. The supplied premium remote control has been revamped from the previous version to include fewer buttons, and until I experienced it, it would never have crossed my mind that a shorter length could actually feel better to hold in the hand

Sony A95K QD-OLED Review - The TV to Beat in 2022!

 Hiding the onboard speakers is also integral to the monolithic slab design, and the Bravia 895K is equipped with Sony's Acoustic Surface Audio Plus technology, which uses two actuators and two subwoofers to generate sound from the screen itself.

The Editors&rsquo; Choice-winning LG C2 has perfect black levels and nearly perfect color, plus costs significantly less than either the A95K or the S95B ($2,999.99 for the 65-inch model). The A95K&rsquo;s crisp, clear sound and speaker connection make it a good choice if you want to integrate your TV into an A/V receiver-powered surround system but, otherwise, we recommend the LG C2 because of its superior picture quality and friendlier price.

 The spring terminals are notable if you want to incorporate the A95K into a home theater with existing stereo or surround speakers that get power from a receiver or amp. The connection is rare but the panel-vibrating actuators Sony uses in its OLED TVs are capable of the very crisp, clean sound necessary for the often dialog-focused center channel. 

 Make sure to turn this mode on when you play; in Cinema mode, the input lag jumps to an unacceptable 143.3ms.

Testing input lag with an HDFury Diva HDMI matrix(Opens in a new window), the A95K showed a latency of 9.8 milliseconds in Game mode, squeaking just under the 10ms threshold we use to consider a TV among the best for gaming. Make sure to turn this mode on when you play; in Cinema mode, the input lag jumps to an unacceptable 143.3ms

Sony Bravia XR 65-Inch Class A95K OLED TV Review

 I know that there's a couple of tvs like the lg or samsung OLEDs and qd oleds that might be slightly faster maybe slightly better for gaming But for someone like me, this is just fine and it looks amazing two hdmi 2.1 ports that can do 4k at 120 One of them is the erc port So if you had a soundbar speaker system and two game consoles It would be more difficult to get everything running at 4k at 120 unless your receiver can pass through that 4k at 120 signal Which a lot of them are starting to be able to do so really if you're that big of a gamer But you want amazing cinema quality picture Then you just get a receiver that can send that signal to your tv and you're good to go But when you're playing in a bright scene or a dark scene trying to hide from enemies You can see everything with an amazing picture quality and super low input lag with this instant response This tv is amazing for gaming and one thing that I really haven't noticed on this tv in any of the content Is that dirty screen or screen uniformity issues? So let's check that test out because that's one thing before we compare it to the a90j that I wanted to show you Okay So what you're looking for on this test is you watch the hockey player moving left or right and you try to see if you Notice any like blotchy areas behind the hockey player as you go by would be simulated in fast sports or video gaming at a high Rate and for the most part I see nothing These qd oleds are amazing with regards to screen uniformity and that showed up in that 4k shootout Both the qd oled scored very highly in that the s95b and this a95k while the lgg2 traditional W oled struggled so definitely a big win for these samsung display qd oleds And honestly, it's like the only test that I really wanted to show on here and it scores quite well on that So i'm pretty stoked about this tv overall, but let's compare it to the a90j before we wrap up So here we are comparing the a90j on the right master series oled versus the a95k qd oled on the left And as you can see we actually flipped the qd oled around on the stand So we had to unscrew the stand lift the tv flip it around set it up onto the stand So it's about an inch higher than it was and then screw it back in and I actually like it better flipped around like this Because it can be close to the wall and it can provide that cover if you have to run cords down the wall You won't even see them like this In addition, it actually helps the tv stand more upright where if you have the tv stand flipped toward the back The tv sort of tips back a little bit and if you have ceiling lights in your room Then those will be more evident on the screen as it's angling toward those in the reflection So I like it facing forward and with it up against the wall And as you can see compared to the a90j the a95k is just a little bit brighter and has a little bit more color And I think the detail is a little bit more evident in the darker areas on the screen The qd oled has a little more color in general, but you can definitely see it pushes a little more green It has a little bit more blues So having that blue layer qd oled that then steps down to the different colors and can be much more vibrant Just gives you more of that qled kind of color in an oled tv And just to let you know the settings on these two are both exactly the same. It's in custom mode It's on brightness preferred. We have the live color on medium We could juice both of them a little bit more and it gives the qd oled even a little bit more of an advantage But this looked good on screen where we could show you that there's definitely more detail in the qd oled And yet it's not just pushed to the max like it's not in vivid mode

Sony A95K QD-OLED 4K TV - King of Color

 We got pretty similar results from each display, with the LG and the Sony hitting about 8.4 milliseconds, going from zero to 153, so black is zero and 153 is gray, and the Samsung marginally beat them at 7.9 milliseconds in the same test, putting all three of them in the upper echelon of living room gaming displays. Now, while the G2 is the only one with proper NVIDIA G-SYNC compatibility, all three displays have variable refresh rate and automatic low latency mode, so I'm not expecting that to be a big differentiating factor
