I Found very important aspect one other viewer caught up on when owning both He said that the g3 had more definition in picture in games like god of war game.but he said after owning the g3 was a better cause if u got defintion u got more 3 punch. Will u look into this?
The price difference between both 77" models cannot be ignored. It's a £2000 difference in the UK currently. The A95L is hands down better but it's incredibly difficult to make a reasonable argument for it over it's competitors when price is taken into account. ... It's also worth noting the LG will see better discounts and bundles this year than the Sony.
The quality of the QDOLED colours and vibrance is so apparent, is way ahead of the LG, personally I justify the price difference on that alone. Not to mention the cinematic accuracy and look of the Sony
@@4KGamingSMT The QD OLED is definitely better. I've seen both and there is no argument to be had there but, it isn't a £2k difference. I'm happy paying more for the Sony, it's got better build quality, accuracy and colour depth but the current price difference isn't justifiable on those points alone. Obviously if the competition had bad build quality, bad accuracy, and bad colour depth then this wouldn't be a talking point at all, however that isn't the case, if you've seen all of this year's flagships you know what differences are clearly apparent and what differences you need to seek out... I think most people would argue they don't want to seek out reasons to spend two grand 😂
but the comparisson are shit. colors of the lg g3 are not that dim. i have it in reallife its awesome. its all about calibration also. yeah qd oled, can have more color volume. but the difference it not so big.
In Germany at current prices. You can purchase a 65inch LG G3, A playstation 5, and a 850euro ($1000 dollar) soundbar, for the price of a 65inch A95L alone. The A95L might have a 20-30% nicer picture, but the price to performance of the LG is outstanding. Especially when you factor in the fact the LG has 4 hdmi 2,1 slots
All of these comments are acting like these TVs are even in the same price category. If money is no object get the Sony and an extended warranty. If money is consideration get the G3. Currently the price difference between them both is so massive it seems silly to compare them honestly.
Yes. Exactly. It's a major flaw to somehow leave that out until 9:37. It's very misleading to the audience who may not know the price difference between these two TV's, and show up at the store shocked from the difference in sticker price.
They may not be in the same price category, but they are in the same size and weight class as far as TV’s are concerned. As most are pointing out, you’d be paying a $2k premium for something like a 5% better picture. That’s not a great investment.
@ShyRage1 I own both an LG OLED 65B7P and an 77"cx 😂 my 65B7P is on its second screen due to burn in from CNBC. Unfortunately, the second screen which fortunately LG replaced for free under warranty, has become burned in again and out of warranty. I'm debating between the Sony A95L, LG G3, or the LG G4 or Sony newest high-end oled for 2024. I'm just concerned about burn in, and I also play a Sony Playstation 5 and watch a lot of Netflix movies. I'm unsure which 65-inch tv to get. Suggestions 😊
I bought a G3, and I agree there are some color differences but sometimes you can’t even tell. Sorry but it doesn’t seem to justify the price difference. Besides the design of the G3 being flushed with wall looks so much better. I’m not a gamer so I only focus on the image. Also both tv in Dolby Vision look pretty much the same.
For sure it really does take some challenging scenes to see the difference with color outside of game mode. To me the biggest difference between the two is picture clarity can’t beat the A95L there but it’s hard to put a price on that so I wouldn’t blame anyone for picking a G3 because of that price difference between the two.
Im also a 77G3 owner and to be honest, the few percent color space size advantage does not worth the price difference. On top of that: samsung display is having problems with the QDOLED panels, during dark scenes very easily noticable disturbing vertical bars pulls you out from the immersion. This is a defective panel to me. Check Vincent's review. On top of that Sony has sluggish user interface! LG is smooth and easy. A TV is not just the measured color space, its way more, its almost like an ecosystem. I keep my LG G3 thank you Sony.
I currently have a C9 from 2019 and would like a Sony for better motion handling in sports as well as improved upscaling abilities, but the price is too much for me to consider.
@@triffid68 It is weird but somehow sports look better on my S90C than on my LG C2. I am talking about motion handling here. I always thought that LG handled motion better than Samsung. The sad thing is that my dad bought Sony X90L and sports look the better on that TV compared to my OLEDs. I'd still say that the difference in upscaling and motion handling isn't much and I'd like the reviewers to mention that. Most reviewers make it seem like motion handling is trash on Samsung TVs when most people won't even notice when watching high bit rate content or gaming.
I replaced my lg c1 with a Sony A80L and there is no going back, sony’s procesing is on another level. Games look better, movies and shows too, everything has more detail.
Hey im a C1 User to and think about to buy the A95L is the game mode Picture from the A80L really so much better then the C1 ??? and what's the difference ? Brightness Sharpness Tonemapping ?
@@Stannihunny It’s a lot better regarding upscaling, sharpness, colors, tone mapping is better too. The c1 tends to brigthen all the image not just what should be bright. And of course your a95L will do a lot better than my A80L
@@Bakerwar thanks for the answer bro! I've always thought that Sony TVs have the better picture in game mode! In many videos the quality looks much sharper and more 3D deeper in quality
I really want to champion the A95L but I’m returning it because the panel has scratches out of the box. If you pay the Sony premium, the TV should arrive in pristine condition. I’m now thinking LG is the way to go!
OK but I doubt that's a Sony issue in general. Sounds like you got a return that was repackaged. I'm sure most Sony TVs have a flawless exterior (when new), and I'm sure you have cases of LG, Samsung, and every other manufacturer having defective or damaged TVs shipped at times. It's not normal, but it happens with any manufacturer.
I bought the Sony A95k last year to replace my LG C9 however, I ended up returning it. I have a glass sliding door in my entertainment room and can have the blinds down for complete darkness but in the day time I never had to lower the blinds with my C9 but with the Sony QD A95K the grey levels were raised and the picture was washed out. Until QD Oleds resolve that issue of raised grey levels in light rooms it’s a no go. Am I the only one that experienced that?
I'm considering upgrading from an LG C8 and this is one of the reasons I'm hesitant with getting the A95L. (The other reason being that it costs about 1100€ more than a G3) Is really that noticeable? I use my TV in a lit room like 99% off the time...
I've not, but I have the X93L. It's a very similar TV, much better blooming and a bunch of processesing upgrades. I think it also does better with reflection, maybe why I don't have this issue.
Because all the tech TH-camrs I follow eulogising about how good the Sony A95L is.....I starting thinking I'd made a massive mistake buying the 77" G3, then I watched this video. I'm fine now because to me there's hardly any difference at all. Yes they trade differences through this video and tbh I think the G3 holds its own. Trust me...the G3 is amazing and guys remember this, when you're watching TV you don't have 2 tvs side by side flicking ya eyes from one set to the other. Also, the processing on the G3 is FANTASTIC, plus it's way cheaper than the Sony. I think Sony have a cheek to ask over £2000 more than LG.
It’s definitely not a mistake I think there’s no wrong decisions regarding these 2 TVs they both have great upsides and the picture quality on both is going to be great.
@@TechWithKG Before I go any further I'd like to apologise. I got caught up in my emotions and forgot to thank you for your hard work. You're always very fair, KG and that's a great quality to have, congrats. This is my second LG if you count my 3 months with my G2. I'm 61 and have been into hifi and home cinema since I saw my friend's dad's Quad, Yamaha, Technics set up at 14 and have always steered away from LG because of motion. But Jeepers....this latest processer is incredible. I'm not saying it's better than anyone else's but it grabs the motion and delivers it A* Lastly, the 77" A95L is £5999 in the UK and I got my LG G3 77" for a smidge over £4000. No regrets
Merci de vos précieux avis car j'hésite entre le G3 77pouces et le sony A95l 77pouces c'est qui pourrait faire la différence est la qualité du son supérieure sur le sony,mais sur le site son et video par exemple pour 4000 euros on a la barre de son senheiser ambeo plus !!! Avec le lg,donc encore 999euros moins cher que le sony et ce pendant le black friday,y a pas photo
Is it just me, because I don’t see the difference in both TVs. And I don’t even see the hype of the A95L in this video. The G3 look more vibrant. Maybe I have to see it in person though. I guess I will go for either the S90C 75” or the LG C3 77” . Because both TVs really don’t seem far off from those TVs in this video IMO

@@shanew7361 me personally I haven’t heard anything mind blowing yet about the upcoming G4. The G3 is way more reliable to me than anything that came out last year. I returned my S95C because the manufacturers don’t update anything or fix their issues at all also wasn’t bright enough. Seen the Sony A95L in person , looks great but the motion made me dizzy after viewing it. Only Negative I could say about the LG is that your better off not using an Apple TV or anything for streaming, it doesn’t produce the same picture quality than its own apps if that makes sense.
I really want the A95L, but the huge price difference makes it hard to make up my mind about buying it. Where I live, the 55" A95L is almost $1000 more expensive than the 55" G3. I can't afford to pay an extra $1000 for a small improvement in color accuracy. I do want the A95L though.
@@MrRotch61yup they look fine on their own but once you put it up against a TV with QD OLED you start to notice these anomalies with brightness and color.
Nice of you to wait until 9:37 in the video to finally mention how "price definitely may be a factor" considering how much more expensive the Sony A95L is than the LG G3. Any surprise the TV that is $1200 more expensive is better? No, not at all. As of October 26, 2023: SONY A95L 77' INCH = $5000 USD & LG G3 77 INCH = $3799 USD SONY A95L 65' INCH = $3500 USD & LG G3 65 INCH = $2600 USD
KG, you started the comparison with comparing the TV’s designs but you only mentioned the Sony’s design and said the LG doesn’t come with a stand. The design also includes build quality. We just want to get a full comparison to help us decide. The other thing is the settings, when comparing 2-3 tv’s you should let us know what settings are used in the comparison. For example: when comparing 2 TV’s it would be nice to add that one is in filmmaker and the other is in standard, Cinema, or vivid mode.
Yeah the whole video was longer I cut out some parts that were dragged on and too long so I had chopped that part out because the build quality of both TVs are great and the G series build is the exact same as years prior.
The Sony is just too expensive compared to the competition. I'm sure it's slightly better, but not for the price. Plus other brands have more and better discounts (at least where I live), so the cost difference is huge. The G3 is already so good that the experience will be amazing anyway, and the noticeable difference for everyday use is surely not gonna be huge.
A lot of YT TV reviewers over-emphasize particular aspects. Yes, QD-OLED has slightly richer colors than the G3. But if you really cared about PQ, wouldn't you watch the movies/shows most important to you in a dark room with film-maker mode on (or equivalent)? Meaning you would be toning down the colors anyways for your most critical viewing. I can understand some people wanting to watch live sports which might be during daylight, but again if you're going to shell out money for a high-end TV, wouldn't you also purchase some window coverings to reduce the light level in the room? Meaning, again wouldn't you be toning down the colors anyways. I don't see how you could rate the Sony as better for gaming with only 2 full-featured HDMI ports (and one of them is the eARC output). For me, the true superiority of the Sony comes down to its better video processor. As a person who has personally owned a bunch of high-end electronics that had failed over time (Plasma TV's power-supply, A/V receiver died, subwoofer died, etc..) any longer-term warranty is quite important. Another topic not discussed in this video is the possibility of burn-in over time. The WOLED panel probably is more resistant to burn-in and LG has better pixel cleaning algorithms.
Really great comparison. Would love it if you could compare the Sony A80L to the A95L so we could see how close they are in picture quality. I think many Sony fans are waiting for that.
looks to me like the a95L has the ability to get brighter across the spectrum. and with greens and blues it really can push the brightness up while keeping them vibrant. HOWEVER. in many of these scenes, at least from what we can tell on this video, the a95l was overprocessed compared to the g3. certain shots looked flat out unrealistic in their color spectrum compared to the g3 which nailed it. examples: @1:03 - the Sony looks like the sky is much dimmer/flatter in the top right, and at the bottom right... the streams are completely red. its lost all of the orange and gradient in the picture, which the G3 kept. @1:30 - the sky on the Sony is a greenish flat blue.its almost like the contrast was lowered in this scene ALTHOUGH its still slightly brighter than the G3. @2:04 - the G3 won here too. a95L once again presented a duller picture overall with a flat blue sky. but strangely lost in the greens of the shallow water and seemingly crushed the black shadows of the mountain too. just a STRANGE inconsistency @2:11 - Sony overcranked that yellow. The sand lost its gradient and the water is off. literally just a yellow tint over the picture. which carries into the sunset photo where the sky has an unnaturally yellow tint as well. HOWEVER... the suns brightness in this scene blows away the g3. I dont wanna keep going but theres just a give and take with both TVs and if you're honest about it, the a95L doesn't nail it all of the time. FURTHERMORE. This comparison is flat out nitpicking, as it has to be. Both TVs next to each other is the only way to tell a difference because theyre both top of the line and the best of the best. The image on screen can go either way for who presents it better. And to that end, the price becomes a factor. At 77 inch, the difference is SIGNIFICANT. you could get the g3 plus a sound setup with money left over for a date night. the a95L still seems like the better tv overall....but marginally. And you lose those precious inputs as well for some unexplainable reason. If money isn't an object....Sony. but if it is... the obvious choice is the g3.
I would take LG G3 any day, of course Sony is better by how many margin may be about 5% but what about other things like price different of about $1.5k for 77 inch and warranty is 5 years and I believe the LG has mastered the burn in problem as well and nobody is talking about that now and 4 HDMI 2.1 port. What if I want to connect PS5, Apple TV, Soundbar, Blu ray player LG got it cover. This is what I saw with installation and taxes: LG was going for 4k and Sony is going for 5.5k, that sony tax is a lot. For my purpose Ill go LG all the way.
@@Popcrnchicken Agree with you. In any case people who go for this premium TV is going to have soundbar and one of your HDMI 2.1 is going to be used for that eArc. If you are purist you need atleast two more as you may need to connect gaming device and Bluray player. As I said there are other advantage over Sony on Display clarity and if Sony tax is about say $300 more I would have taken it but $1500 is too much just for that aspect and having more HDMI 2.1 is always one of the plus point. For me oLED burn in more important and LG has 10 years of experience in it and we already saw what happened with 1st gen QD oLED burn in problem this is second gen and I would not like to be that experimental person.
Does sony image proceesing give better video quality when watching youtube videos? I heard sony A95L got the best image processing powe compare to others.
What do you mean by “better value”? You either need a bigger screen, or you don’t. Neither the 55” or 65” A95L is on sale at this point. Also, buying a 55” Flagship TV is a bit of a waste imo. If you’re going that small you might as well go with a Samsung s90c, you won’t notice any visual downgrade at that size from the A95L and it’s $1,600 dollars cheaper.
@@vijaykumarvc66 Ask yourself why you’re considering the A95L. It’s biggest strength above the S90c/S95c and LG G3 is it’s processing/upscaling. That feature is much less noticeable at 55” than it is at 77”. Unless you’re planning on sitting
I'd like to see much more comparisons using real life TV that is SD like News, Sports or Shows. As I don't want to pay extra subscriptions besides my cable provider - your 8K samples don't help me to decide which TV is the right for me...
It has been mentioned now several times.. that aside from color.. the Sony's processing is superior for low bit rate content/streaming... yet no TH-cam video has shown this difference... with HDR content they look very similar and hardly justifies the price difference
Hi! Most of us Content Creators are very limited on what content we can show otherwise due to copyrights taking our content down or worse. Most of the low bit content would fall under this category. LG is actually the more superior upscaling brand without altering the image. Sony alters the image (though often more desirable) when upscaling and this cannot be defeated. Anyhow, any TV purchase ultimately depends on use case and environment to justice price.
I'm getting a new TV primarily for Gaming, and I'd say the HDR Brightness in Game Mode definitely justifies the price for me, personally. If I wasn't a gamer, I think I'd pick the G3.
If you go to the forums people are saying TH-cam tv looks like shit on the A95L but no one talks about it they just recite the same thing like bots Sony has the best processor!
@@NexGenTek well that def influences my decision.. maybe i should just stay with my samsung q90t.. im used to how it looks for non-4k content.. and i dont want to pay thousands for an Oled that only looks good in 4K HDR
I am super impressed with the color temperature on the g3. I thought whites looked hideous on previous woled panels, but here it is looking slightly better, imo, than the a95l. I still think qd-oled is inherently the superior technology, but I'm still glad that lg's woled apparently has some fight left in it to force competition
I approve of you buying the A95L! G3 is old technology pressed to its limits like a Dodge Demon V8 burning through gas, oil, coolant and tires to keep up with Tesla Plaid.
Qd oleds have a triangular pixel structure,so it will show some color distortion especially on white text,where you can see green color on top of the text and purple on bottom.also the black levels are slightly raised compared to woled cause it lacks a polarizer filter.these are some of the downsides of the qd oled tech.
There’s more to a tv than just color volume. You forgot to mention that Android is an absolute laggy piece of junk. Sony’s have issue connecting with external components, and pale in comparison to LG’s warranty. I have an A95L and it’s going back. Tesla is another overpriced piece of crap.
I may be biased… or warped. I’ve not found a thin OLED or any TV with truly decent sound in 20-25 years. It’s just a given that if you want cinematic sound or even earbud quality sound, you’re going to need something added to the TV. I’m old… I miss big analog combo TV, record player, stereo sound. Those systems wrapped in beautiful wood cabinets and room filling sound were amazing.
The sound should be a footnote, not an actual important part of the review. Anyone buying a premium TV and using the TV speakers isn't serious about the subject and probably doesn't watch these reviews and videos.
What about best TV for Sports? Is there no workaround for the Logo dimming on the A95L? I believe on both the LG and Samsung you can disable the Logo detection, correct?
Dear TechWithKG !!! My use case to watch SD (720x576) channels on TV! What programs I watch exist only in SD! That's why I am sticking to my 10-year-old Sony TV KDL 55W905a / full HD/ (2013 flagship Sony from the 3D era ) But time goes by ....Which TV can best upscale SD content to 4k ?? Which technology OLED or LED would be the best solution? I don't want a TV with the biggest color volume if the picture is grainy, smeary, and blotchy with pixelation. Can you test me S95C A95L and G3 which upscales SD content better at 55 inches? Thx
The picture quality difference is pretty noticeable but unless you have too much money lying around it's not worth the current price difference, especially with the LG cashback and frequent discounts. At 77'' the A95L is 2k€ more expensive than the G3 and you aren't going to notice anything lacking on the LG unless you watch your movies side by side to a QD-OLED screen as reference.
77 inch G3 is on sale for 3500 at Best Buy. A95L is 5000. Hard to justify the Sony at that price even if you have the money. It's better, but is it $1500 better? I mean, that's a hard value proposition. Not to mention it's currently unavailable so you can't get one even if you wanted to. 😆
I have a 2012 Sony XBR 1080p 55” micro-dimming LED TV that, after 12 yrs, has developed some lines. At first, I considered the a95L 65” but did not like the price. Just picked up the G4 65”. Is the G4 a better panel? Sure. Even-better blacks and off-axis are a step up. The miss though is the far more accurate whites on my older set. When sitting 8 ft away as I do, on axis, I’m still favouring the older Sony. Not only are its colours still slightly more accurate, but the whites are more pure. It’s as if the G4 is an overly warm panel. Even pushing the panel into its cool range by double digits still doesn’t match my Sony’s neutral, clean whites. Conclusion - G4 is going back. A95L will be my next upgrade. No warm yellow tint for me, thanks. Also of note is the glass. My older Sony has great gorilla glass which while glass/gloss, barely shows reflections. In contrast, G4 is like a mirror with just some ambient light.
If you want the BEST picture quality, I suggest you wait for the A95L to go down in price. No one can compete with Sony's processing. If you don't want the best, don't want to spend more money, and still want a great picture, get the LG G3.
Who has the best 3D pop effect? some say LG, others Sony... in this video I'm struggling to understand that Sony has it, right? Does this apply to other OLED series? Example for C3 series and 90k 80l series etc?
Nothing to add that has not been said in this thorough, detailed and honest review of these two top shelf TVs of 2023. The only thing that remains to be answered is: is the Sony TV really that much better as the price difference suggests? Or, put another way: what would make you happier in the long run: overall better picture quality... or considerable amount of money stil left in your wallet? Short, but very, very good comparison review !
Thanks for the interesting comparison. I was surprised how often I preferred the G3. I found the whites on the A95L too little warm. I would really like to see them both with a challenging dark scene and see how they handle the greys. My old LG OLED really screws this up, but I would assume there have been massive improvements!
The A95L, as all the QD-OLED do, have a big problem with black level depth when viewed in a non-dimmed room. And you can watch TV even in brightly lit rooms. The review is silent on this. Furthermore, the Sony costs almost double the LG. By the way, A95L is REALLY an excellent tv. But non perfect yet.
For the price difference I would get the G3 because they are almost identical. Sure the Sony might be a tiny bit better but unless you are putting them side by side you won’t care. Also the added brightness of the G3 would make it more future proof.
Yeah, in general it seems the LG G3 is a little bright, the A95L can have more saturated color at certain brightness levels (QDOLED) and slightly better processing. But they both look fantastic and if not viewed side by side, you'd probably be thrilled with either one and not think you were missing anything. So the price difference is significant.
Both are awesome TVs, the A95L does have an edge over the G3 and one can't go wrong with either of them. BUT - if anyone is contemplating between the two based on their price difference - I would suggest also to factor in the S95C (the TOTL TV of Samsung for 2023) - same panel as the Sony, but cheaper yet than the G3.
Thank u kg i always hit on this video to see the comparison between time & another, if i may know cause i wanna pick one at which tv pic mode on both tvs this comparison was taking?
Guys I. have seen both tvs in real life and I strongly reccomend that you go with the G3 because the price difference is huge and not worth it for the A95L, yes you can see more saturated colors on the A95L but only under certain circumstances. In SDR there is no difference but when you are watching HDR and you have a very bright daytime scene and you look closely at the colors you will see more saturation on the A95L then the scene changes and they look exactly the same again. Unless you have money to burn its not worth it.
@@אדםאבורביעה-ק4ר Dobly Vision is way better on the G3, the DV on the A95L is broken with raised backs and poor shadow detail hopefully Sony will release an update to fix it because right now its better to turn it off.
@@rondj3495 Oh just shut up, my 2016 LG G6 is still doing great and remains FAR above in picture quality what you would call a standard tv today. That does not disregard the likely possibility that I would go for the A95L today.
Just get an A80L if u want to be as close as possible to what the A95L can do. The G3 being brighter than the A80 is just not enough for the price difference considering the A80L will still have better image processing bc it has same XR chip as A95L
@@TestTranslator bc with Samsung otb performance is still off with a yellow /orange look and even on QLED it is magenta and the processing doesn’t beat the G3 for low res content .
so i'm not a lg fan and always hate lg i swear but the g3 are more realistic more colorfull.. and if u check 01:15 u can see that the g3 are deeper in black and whit realistic gamma or maybe in hdr and dolby. and i think that the sony have a shadow issue. the only good think on the a95l are that the tv have better details in picture.
@@cemsengul16plus, the G3 comes with a FIVE YEAR Warranty vice just a Three Year Warranty for the Sony. (The five year warranty is just on the G series tho)
While you would need at least a decent sound bar and stand with the LG, also keep in mind you will need to buy warranty coverage for the Sony to match the 5 year LG warranty. So, it's a wash. The Sony is the better tv, but that cost differential is pretty large at the moment.
I dont know, i still have to see ANY youtube video were the "Sony Processing" really can be seen as so superior, that it covers the Sony Tax. Besides that, you wont notice the color difference without side by side. So if you dont have money to burn, get the G3 with the Additional Warranty, the better no-nonsense Build Quality, better overall shipset and the completly fine processing (or even the G2 with the better Processing) and have a TV that will prob. last until either QD-OLED is even more affordable or in 4-5 years there is a new technology on the market even better....And with the money saved, you can then also buy a soundbar, that will be miles ahead of any inbuilld solution. Sony is just too expensive with their Flagships. Only TV worht buying this years is funny enough the A90L in Europe, cause its a bargain with Sony XL Processing.
I was in process of buying 1 or other right now and your video spun me to the Sony. LGs was 800 cheaper but you seem to think that is nothing compared to the difference in how good the Sony is. Thanks
I know this comment doesn’t apply to the video but….. I need help from people more knowledgeable than me I ordered the s90c and it seems like it is back ordered got it for the 1999 plus 10% off. I just got noticed from Samsung that I got a model swap to the s90cd???? Do I need to cancel? What are the difference??
I'd love to see the A95L vs the X95L. I'm wavering between the two as we had some burn-in issues with OLED and I have no idea how to judge actual black levels and haloing. So seeing both at the same lighting conditions with the same material would be great.
For dark viewing OLED hands down - LED always has elevated blacks that’s noticeable. With ambient light or daylight that’s less visible but be careful of reflections as handling of that is absolutely rubbish on VA panels (smudges across screen).
@@whitecrowuk575Oh I’m aware. I just want to see a direct comparison. To give an example, I’ve seen a lower end Sony LED yesterday. I’ve also seen a MacBook Pro miniLED screen. Even those two are worlds apart. All the reviewers always talk about the difference, by they never show it. Which makes me wonder if manufacturers have a ban on that kind of comparison.
@@Mendorian I’ve seen X95L in person and even though it wasn’t side by side to Oled the difference in black level is noticeable enough that I didn’t have to. Raised blacks is different problem from blooming. Blooming on x95L is minimal enough to be non issue. People could even see the difference between WOLED and QD OLEDs raised black levels even when they were minimal. All depends what’s your current TV. If it’s LED - raised blacks won’t stand out for you and this will be great TV. If you have/had Oled you will notice. Not sure if it’s something I could get used to, impossible to know without owning it. But saying this if you have money for A95L and don’t mind 77” over 85” then there is not much to think about.
Great video man, though I dont understand why you guys never do videos anymore on TVs most people can afford. Its all A95L, G3, S95C this year, save a few S90C videos.
I got some coming still I just enjoy comparing the best technology side by side it’s really enjoyable. I’d love to do more TVs in the future but I have to pick and choose what to check out.
On Halloween at Best Buy, you can get a 77" A95L for 5k. Or, you can get a 77" G3 (with its 5 year panel warranty) AND a 65" S90C for 100 bucks more. Sony needs to get their premium TVs to market earlier. Seems like an opportunity missed. Winning a TV shootout feels like winning the battle but losing the war.
Why does it feel like the TVs have a “transition” when going from low/high APL scenes, or vice versa? Does anyone else see that, it’s really annoying….
The Sony S95L really is a long way ahead in clarity, brightness and natural tones. That's what you pay for I guess. I'm reminded of people who criticise the MX5 for not driving as well as a Lotus or a Porsche....
The bright whites imo are what ruins the g3 compared to past ones. Impact is one thing but when its impact only with one thing that causes dilution its not good.
@@DinoT-r2q the color saturation is able to make up for the brightness. Qd oled doesn't use white sub pixels like wrgb oled tvs do so the white on regular oled washes out colors unlike qd oled. No matter what LG has in place to counteract it. Its going to happen which is why the color volume is still so low in comparison when it comes to bright vivid colors.
@shadaoshai yet its color volume still is nothing in comparison. The white will still dilute color regardless of what LG has put in place to counteract it.
@@reviewforthetube6485 QD Oled has higher color volume no doubt. I was just pointing out that color volume is no worse than past LG Oleds while still being much brighter. Now imagine putting an MLA on a QD Oled with a new phosphorescent blue oled stack and that TV will be otherworldy.
Might be able to get a 77A95L at a very steep discount from a reputable and secure retailer. It's currently out of stock, but if it comes back, would anyone be interested in buying it for $4000 (you pay PayPal fees), shipped to your door (continental US only)? I've never done anything like this, so I will only be picking up one TV if I do it at all. And you will definitely be sending money before I send the TV. I will be picking one of these up for myself too. Just putting it out there if anyone is as frustrated as I am with the low stock on these things, and is willing to work with others to get it at a better price than MSRP. Hoping this doesn't violate any community rules. I'm so happy to be part of the A/V enthusiast community now!
@@stopthefomoqd oleds have a triangular pixel structure,so it will show some color distortion,especially on white text,you can see green color on top of text and purple on bottom.also the black levels on qd oleds are slightly raised compared to woled cause it lacks a polarizer filter.these are some of the downsides with the qd oled tech.
Could use some advice. I've been agonizing over this choice for a couple of months. Moderately bright room but no direct sunlight. Zero gaming, not a lot of movies, almost all streaming and sports. DirecTV + Apple TV 4K. I'm limited to wired headphones, so my choices aren't great. No Sonys, for example, unless I use a clunky audio extractor dongle. I've narrowed it down to the QM8 75" or S90C 65". The 75" U8K is an IPS-ADS panel, so I eliminated it, I much prefer VA. I know you said you don't like the term 3D-pop, but that's what I'm looking for. Since I don't watch many movies, I'm not concerned with creators' intent. Coming from a TCL R615 65", which I think still has a great picture even though it's just FALD. The QM8 is currently $1251 on Amazon, which is a really great price. The S90C is $1599 everywhere, including the Samsung discount site. I've never had an OLED, so I'm leaning that way, but the QM8 price and size is really attractive. You would choose?
Do you need the larger size for better viewing, are you sitting too far currently? If yes you have to go for the size IMO. If you are content with your 65” size I think since you never had OLED you would really appreciate the difference with the S90C.

I Found very important aspect one other viewer caught up on when owning both He said that the g3 had more definition in picture in games like god of war game.but he said after owning the g3 was a better cause if u got defintion u got more 3 punch. Will u look into this?
The price difference between both 77" models cannot be ignored. It's a £2000 difference in the UK currently. The A95L is hands down better but it's incredibly difficult to make a reasonable argument for it over it's competitors when price is taken into account.
... It's also worth noting the LG will see better discounts and bundles this year than the Sony.
The quality of the QDOLED colours and vibrance is so apparent, is way ahead of the LG, personally I justify the price difference on that alone. Not to mention the cinematic accuracy and look of the Sony
@@4KGamingSMT The QD OLED is definitely better. I've seen both and there is no argument to be had there but, it isn't a £2k difference.
I'm happy paying more for the Sony, it's got better build quality, accuracy and colour depth but the current price difference isn't justifiable on those points alone.
Obviously if the competition had bad build quality, bad accuracy, and bad colour depth then this wouldn't be a talking point at all, however that isn't the case, if you've seen all of this year's flagships you know what differences are clearly apparent and what differences you need to seek out... I think most people would argue they don't want to seek out reasons to spend two grand 😂
It is A95L is for AV enthusiasts not the masses.😂
@@theadamtaylorSony Bravia A95L os more reasonable in the USA not Europe
but the comparisson are shit. colors of the lg g3 are not that dim. i have it in reallife its awesome. its all about calibration also. yeah qd oled, can have more color volume. but the difference it not so big.
In Germany at current prices. You can purchase a 65inch LG G3, A playstation 5, and a 850euro ($1000 dollar) soundbar, for the price of a 65inch A95L alone. The A95L might have a 20-30% nicer picture, but the price to performance of the LG is outstanding. Especially when you factor in the fact the LG has 4 hdmi 2,1 slots
All of these comments are acting like these TVs are even in the same price category.
If money is no object get the Sony and an extended warranty. If money is consideration get the G3. Currently the price difference between them both is so massive it seems silly to compare them honestly.
Yes. Exactly. It's a major flaw to somehow leave that out until 9:37. It's very misleading to the audience who may not know the price difference between these two TV's, and show up at the store shocked from the difference in sticker price.
They may not be in the same price category, but they are in the same size and weight class as far as TV’s are concerned. As most are pointing out, you’d be paying a $2k premium for something like a 5% better picture. That’s not a great investment.
As much as I love the 77” A95L it’s hard to justify paying $1,500 more than the 77” G3. Also the G3 comes with a 5 year warranty.
LG typically dont last
@ShyRage1 I own both an LG OLED 65B7P and an 77"cx 😂 my 65B7P is on its second screen due to burn in from CNBC. Unfortunately, the second screen which fortunately LG replaced for free under warranty, has become burned in again and out of warranty. I'm debating between the Sony A95L, LG G3, or the LG G4 or Sony newest high-end oled for 2024. I'm just concerned about burn in, and I also play a Sony Playstation 5 and watch a lot of Netflix movies. I'm unsure which 65-inch tv to get. Suggestions 😊
@@shanew7361 I ended up going with the new Samsung 55 inch oled tv. I cant trust lg anymore
And sony hace sime problems with burning
@@bartekwlodarsky9162 Yea, I think I'm done with OLED. Maybe the Bravia 9 LED.
I bought a G3, and I agree there are some color differences but sometimes you can’t even tell. Sorry but it doesn’t seem to justify the price difference. Besides the design of the G3 being flushed with wall looks so much better. I’m not a gamer so I only focus on the image. Also both tv in Dolby Vision look pretty much the same.
For sure it really does take some challenging scenes to see the difference with color outside of game mode. To me the biggest difference between the two is picture clarity can’t beat the A95L there but it’s hard to put a price on that so I wouldn’t blame anyone for picking a G3 because of that price difference between the two.
Im also a 77G3 owner and to be honest, the few percent color space size advantage does not worth the price difference. On top of that: samsung display is having problems with the QDOLED panels, during dark scenes very easily noticable disturbing vertical bars pulls you out from the immersion. This is a defective panel to me. Check Vincent's review. On top of that Sony has sluggish user interface! LG is smooth and easy. A TV is not just the measured color space, its way more, its almost like an ecosystem. I keep my LG G3 thank you Sony.
I currently have a C9 from 2019 and would like a Sony for better motion handling in sports as well as improved upscaling abilities, but the price is too much for me to consider.
@@triffid68 It is weird but somehow sports look better on my S90C than on my LG C2. I am talking about motion handling here. I always thought that LG handled motion better than Samsung.
The sad thing is that my dad bought Sony X90L and sports look the better on that TV compared to my OLEDs. I'd still say that the difference in upscaling and motion handling isn't much and I'd like the reviewers to mention that. Most reviewers make it seem like motion handling is trash on Samsung TVs when most people won't even notice when watching high bit rate content or gaming.
LG G3 OLED has washed out black levels and Sony Bravia A95L QD OLED is out 1 month only.
In Denmark is $4,825 for Sony. LG costs 3,406 so I choose LG :)

@@Bakerwar thanks for the answer bro! I've always thought that Sony TVs have the better picture in game mode! In many videos the quality looks much sharper and more 3D deeper in quality
I really want to champion the A95L but I’m returning it because the panel has scratches out of the box. If you pay the Sony premium, the TV should arrive in pristine condition. I’m now thinking LG is the way to go!
OK but I doubt that's a Sony issue in general. Sounds like you got a return that was repackaged. I'm sure most Sony TVs have a flawless exterior (when new), and I'm sure you have cases of LG, Samsung, and every other manufacturer having defective or damaged TVs shipped at times. It's not normal, but it happens with any manufacturer.
I bought the Sony A95k last year to replace my LG C9 however, I ended up returning it. I have a glass sliding door in my entertainment room and can have the blinds down for complete darkness but in the day time I never had to lower the blinds with my C9 but with the Sony QD A95K the grey levels were raised and the picture was washed out. Until QD Oleds resolve that issue of raised grey levels in light rooms it’s a no go. Am I the only one that experienced that?
I'm considering upgrading from an LG C8 and this is one of the reasons I'm hesitant with getting the A95L. (The other reason being that it costs about 1100€ more than a G3)
Is really that noticeable? I use my TV in a lit room like 99% off the time...
You're aren't the only one, another youtuber shows this. It looks sorta like a faded black.
Which one ? Can you post a link ?
I've not, but I have the X93L. It's a very similar TV, much better blooming and a bunch of processesing upgrades. I think it also does better with reflection, maybe why I don't have this issue.
@@sKullkidihello, which one do you pick? I'm between the G3 and A95K, they're around the same price.. Thank you! (I'm a owner of a C8 too)
Because all the tech TH-camrs I follow eulogising about how good the Sony A95L is.....I starting thinking I'd made a massive mistake buying the 77" G3, then I watched this video.
I'm fine now because to me there's hardly any difference at all. Yes they trade differences through this video and tbh I think the G3 holds its own.
Trust me...the G3 is amazing and guys remember this, when you're watching TV you don't have 2 tvs side by side flicking ya eyes from one set to the other. Also, the processing on the G3 is FANTASTIC, plus it's way cheaper than the Sony. I think Sony have a cheek to ask over £2000 more than LG.
It’s definitely not a mistake I think there’s no wrong decisions regarding these 2 TVs they both have great upsides and the picture quality on both is going to be great.
@@TechWithKG Before I go any further I'd like to apologise. I got caught up in my emotions and forgot to thank you for your hard work. You're always very fair, KG and that's a great quality to have, congrats.
This is my second LG if you count my 3 months with my G2. I'm 61 and have been into hifi and home cinema since I saw my friend's dad's Quad, Yamaha, Technics set up at 14 and have always steered away from LG because of motion. But Jeepers....this latest processer is incredible. I'm not saying it's better than anyone else's but it grabs the motion and delivers it A*
Lastly, the 77" A95L is £5999 in the UK and I got my LG G3 77" for a smidge over £4000. No regrets
Merci de vos précieux avis car j'hésite entre le G3 77pouces et le sony A95l 77pouces c'est qui pourrait faire la différence est la qualité du son supérieure sur le sony,mais sur le site son et video par exemple pour 4000 euros on a la barre de son senheiser ambeo plus !!! Avec le lg,donc encore 999euros moins cher que le sony et ce pendant le black friday,y a pas photo
Is it just me, because I don’t see the difference in both TVs. And I don’t even see the hype of the A95L in this video. The G3 look more vibrant. Maybe I have to see it in person though. I guess I will go for either the S90C 75” or the LG C3 77” . Because both TVs really don’t seem far off from those TVs in this video IMO
The price difference is $1800 plus tax for a 77”. That’s a huge difference. I’d pay $500 extra for a a95L that’s about it.
You pay that In the Spring

Seen the Sony A95L in person , looks great but the motion made me dizzy after viewing it. Only Negative I could say about the LG is that your better off not using an Apple TV or anything for streaming, it doesn’t produce the same picture quality than its own apps if that makes sense.
I really want the A95L, but the huge price difference makes it hard to make up my mind about buying it.
Where I live, the 55" A95L is almost $1000 more expensive than the 55" G3.
I can't afford to pay an extra $1000 for a small improvement in color accuracy. I do want the A95L though.
Sales in January high price better quality LG is for does want LED black levels 😂
Buy once buy better
Is it me or are the colors a bit more saturated on G3? I'm curious what picture setting where the TVs both on? Thanks for the great video!
Watching this on my calibrated monitor, I actually noticed Greens and Reds looked noticeably desaturated on the G3.
OK thanks!@@MrRotch61
@@MrRotch61yup they look fine on their own but once you put it up against a TV with QD OLED you start to notice these anomalies with brightness and color.
I actually preferred the colors on the G3. The Sony looks waaaay to yellow for me. I actually watched this video on my G3 too 🤣
The colour of A95L look more saturated than G3 to me. In this video the A95L tend to be yellowish tint sometimes
As of today, 10/20/2023 LG is offering a free stand with the purchase of a G3 OLED as a promotional offer.
Nice of you to wait until 9:37 in the video to finally mention how "price definitely may be a factor" considering how much more expensive the Sony A95L is than the LG G3. Any surprise the TV that is $1200 more expensive is better? No, not at all.
As of October 26, 2023:
SONY A95L 77' INCH = $5000 USD & LG G3 77 INCH = $3799 USD
SONY A95L 65' INCH = $3500 USD & LG G3 65 INCH = $2600 USD
Just side-by-side picture comparison the whole time! I love it - thanks! :)
I prefer the G3 imagine in almost every scene here. The brightness seems to pop more on the LG im assuming thanks to MLA.
There is nothing wrong with the g3 sound it’s AI sound is pretty good
nah as a gamer, less input lag on the G3, plus i need that flush wall mount
KG, you started the comparison with comparing the TV’s designs but you only mentioned the Sony’s design and said the LG doesn’t come with a stand. The design also includes build quality. We just want to get a full comparison to help us decide.
The other thing is the settings, when comparing 2-3 tv’s you should let us know what settings are used in the comparison. For example: when comparing 2 TV’s it would be nice to add that one is in filmmaker and the other is in standard, Cinema, or vivid mode.
Yeah the whole video was longer I cut out some parts that were dragged on and too long so I had chopped that part out because the build quality of both TVs are great and the G series build is the exact same as years prior.
The Sony is just too expensive compared to the competition. I'm sure it's slightly better, but not for the price. Plus other brands have more and better discounts (at least where I live), so the cost difference is huge. The G3 is already so good that the experience will be amazing anyway, and the noticeable difference for everyday use is surely not gonna be huge.
It's just been released It's a flagship it's better than LG G3 OLED by wide margin and Samsung S95C so wait til January for sales.
A lot of YT TV reviewers over-emphasize particular aspects. Yes, QD-OLED has slightly richer colors than the G3. But if you really cared about PQ, wouldn't you watch the movies/shows most important to you in a dark room with film-maker mode on (or equivalent)? Meaning you would be toning down the colors anyways for your most critical viewing. I can understand some people wanting to watch live sports which might be during daylight, but again if you're going to shell out money for a high-end TV, wouldn't you also purchase some window coverings to reduce the light level in the room? Meaning, again wouldn't you be toning down the colors anyways. I don't see how you could rate the Sony as better for gaming with only 2 full-featured HDMI ports (and one of them is the eARC output). For me, the true superiority of the Sony comes down to its better video processor. As a person who has personally owned a bunch of high-end electronics that had failed over time (Plasma TV's power-supply, A/V receiver died, subwoofer died, etc..) any longer-term warranty is quite important. Another topic not discussed in this video is the possibility of burn-in over time. The WOLED panel probably is more resistant to burn-in and LG has better pixel cleaning algorithms.
Are both these tvs uncalibrated?
Yes
Really great comparison. Would love it if you could compare the Sony A80L to the A95L so we could see how close they are in picture quality. I think many Sony fans are waiting for that.
Unless you’re getting the 77 it’s not worth it
I'M JUST NERVOUS ABOUT THE ABL IN THE A80L.
looks to me like the a95L has the ability to get brighter across the spectrum. and with greens and blues it really can push the brightness up while keeping them vibrant. HOWEVER. in many of these scenes, at least from what we can tell on this video, the a95l was overprocessed compared to the g3. certain shots looked flat out unrealistic in their color spectrum compared to the g3 which nailed it. examples:
@1:03 - the Sony looks like the sky is much dimmer/flatter in the top right, and at the bottom right... the streams are completely red. its lost all of the orange and gradient in the picture, which the G3 kept.
@1:30 - the sky on the Sony is a greenish flat blue.its almost like the contrast was lowered in this scene ALTHOUGH its still slightly brighter than the G3.
@2:04 - the G3 won here too. a95L once again presented a duller picture overall with a flat blue sky. but strangely lost in the greens of the shallow water and seemingly crushed the black shadows of the mountain too. just a STRANGE inconsistency
@2:11 - Sony overcranked that yellow. The sand lost its gradient and the water is off. literally just a yellow tint over the picture. which carries into the sunset photo where the sky has an unnaturally yellow tint as well. HOWEVER... the suns brightness in this scene blows away the g3.
I dont wanna keep going but theres just a give and take with both TVs and if you're honest about it, the a95L doesn't nail it all of the time. FURTHERMORE. This comparison is flat out nitpicking, as it has to be. Both TVs next to each other is the only way to tell a difference because theyre both top of the line and the best of the best. The image on screen can go either way for who presents it better. And to that end, the price becomes a factor. At 77 inch, the difference is SIGNIFICANT. you could get the g3 plus a sound setup with money left over for a date night. the a95L still seems like the better tv overall....but marginally. And you lose those precious inputs as well for some unexplainable reason. If money isn't an object....Sony. but if it is... the obvious choice is the g3.
I would take LG G3 any day, of course Sony is better by how many margin may be about 5% but what about other things like price different of about $1.5k for 77 inch and warranty is 5 years and I believe the LG has mastered the burn in problem as well and nobody is talking about that now and 4 HDMI 2.1 port. What if I want to connect PS5, Apple TV, Soundbar, Blu ray player LG got it cover.
This is what I saw with installation and taxes: LG was going for 4k and Sony is going for 5.5k, that sony tax is a lot.
For my purpose Ill go LG all the way.
You only need the 2.1 port for gaming. You don’t need it for those other things. You aren’t watching Apple TV in 120hz.
@@Popcrnchicken Agree with you. In any case people who go for this premium TV is going to have soundbar and one of your HDMI 2.1 is going to be used for that eArc. If you are purist you need atleast two more as you may need to connect gaming device and Bluray player.
As I said there are other advantage over Sony on Display clarity and if Sony tax is about say $300 more I would have taken it but $1500 is too much just for that aspect and having more HDMI 2.1 is always one of the plus point. For me oLED burn in more important and LG has 10 years of experience in it and we already saw what happened with 1st gen QD oLED burn in problem this is second gen and I would not like to be that experimental person.
on purchase of g3 will i get 5 year warranty or only 3 year warranty?
5-year warranty, however, labor is only included in the first year of warranty. Years 2-5 only cover parts, NOT labor.
A95L is awesome.
Does sony image proceesing give better video quality when watching youtube videos? I heard sony A95L got the best image processing powe compare to others.
only problem is the Sony only goes up to 77" my current tv is 86" and it still feels small in my living room. No way can I go down in size. :(
My 77 only feels small on extra wide movies. I want an 83 now, too.
Is it better value to buy the 65 inch Sony , compared to the 55 inch ? 🤨
Depends Upon your Room size and where you sit
What do you mean by “better value”? You either need a bigger screen, or you don’t. Neither the 55” or 65” A95L is on sale at this point.
Also, buying a 55” Flagship TV is a bit of a waste imo. If you’re going that small you might as well go with a Samsung s90c, you won’t notice any visual downgrade at that size from the A95L and it’s $1,600 dollars cheaper.
@@Reginald_Harrison what Do you mean by WASTE for going with 55inch TV??? What's the Exact Reason behind it Can You Explain me please??
@@vijaykumarvc66 Ask yourself why you’re considering the A95L. It’s biggest strength above the S90c/S95c and LG G3 is it’s processing/upscaling. That feature is much less noticeable at 55” than it is at 77”. Unless you’re planning on sitting

I'd like to see much more comparisons using real life TV that is SD like News, Sports or Shows. As I don't want to pay extra subscriptions besides my cable provider - your 8K samples don't help me to decide which TV is the right for me...
What picture mode is the best for movies/tv series for A95L? Thanks 😊
It has been mentioned now several times.. that aside from color.. the Sony's processing is superior for low bit rate content/streaming... yet no TH-cam video has shown this difference... with HDR content they look very similar and hardly justifies the price difference
Hi! Most of us Content Creators are very limited on what content we can show otherwise due to copyrights taking our content down or worse. Most of the low bit content would fall under this category. LG is actually the more superior upscaling brand without altering the image. Sony alters the image (though often more desirable) when upscaling and this cannot be defeated. Anyhow, any TV purchase ultimately depends on use case and environment to justice price.
I'm getting a new TV primarily for Gaming, and I'd say the HDR Brightness in Game Mode definitely justifies the price for me, personally. If I wasn't a gamer, I think I'd pick the G3.
If you go to the forums people are saying TH-cam tv looks like shit on the A95L but no one talks about it they just recite the same thing like bots Sony has the best processor!

I am super impressed with the color temperature on the g3. I thought whites looked hideous on previous woled panels, but here it is looking slightly better, imo, than the a95l. I still think qd-oled is inherently the superior technology, but I'm still glad that lg's woled apparently has some fight left in it to force competition
I approve of you buying the A95L! G3 is old technology pressed to its limits like a Dodge Demon V8 burning through gas, oil, coolant and tires to keep up with Tesla Plaid.
Qd oleds have a triangular pixel structure,so it will show some color distortion especially on white text,where you can see green color on top of the text and purple on bottom.also the black levels are slightly raised compared to woled cause it lacks a polarizer filter.these are some of the downsides of the qd oled tech.

There’s more to a tv than just color volume. You forgot to mention that Android is an absolute laggy piece of junk. Sony’s have issue connecting with external components, and pale in comparison to LG’s warranty. I have an A95L and it’s going back. Tesla is another overpriced piece of crap.
Does the better upscaling/processing of the TV matter if you are using external streaming devices like the Apple TV 4k?
is that native dimming on the video? why does some scene starts to dim?
I think it is his camera adjusting exposure
I may be biased… or warped. I’ve not found a thin OLED or any TV with truly decent sound in 20-25 years. It’s just a given that if you want cinematic sound or even earbud quality sound, you’re going to need something added to the TV.
I’m old… I miss big analog combo TV, record player, stereo sound. Those systems wrapped in beautiful wood cabinets and room filling sound were amazing.
The sound should be a footnote, not an actual important part of the review. Anyone buying a premium TV and using the TV speakers isn't serious about the subject and probably doesn't watch these reviews and videos.
What about best TV for Sports? Is there no workaround for the Logo dimming on the A95L? I believe on both the LG and Samsung you can disable the Logo detection, correct?
the amount of hdmi made g3 an easy win for me despite the fact that sony's picture quality is slightly better
Why? You can always buy an hdmi switch but you cant buy better picture clarity
Dear TechWithKG !!! My use case to watch SD (720x576) channels on TV! What programs I watch exist only in SD! That's why I am sticking to my 10-year-old Sony TV KDL 55W905a / full HD/ (2013 flagship Sony from the 3D era ) But time goes by ....Which TV can best upscale SD content to 4k ?? Which technology OLED or LED would be the best solution? I don't want a TV with the biggest color volume if the picture is grainy, smeary, and blotchy with pixelation. Can you test me S95C A95L and G3 which upscales SD content better at 55 inches? Thx
Doesnt the Sony 83" only use the first gen panel from last year (with 77" and lower using the second gen panels)?
Correct. But this doesn’t come in 83”.
Both look great but colours on g3 look more natural to me.
So yeah I think G3 looks the best.
The A95L has sharper images and shows more details.
The picture quality difference is pretty noticeable but unless you have too much money lying around it's not worth the current price difference, especially with the LG cashback and frequent discounts. At 77'' the A95L is 2k€ more expensive than the G3 and you aren't going to notice anything lacking on the LG unless you watch your movies side by side to a QD-OLED screen as reference.
Right now g3 77 is almost half the price of sony 77a95l
does the g3 have dynamic tone mapping on in this side by side?
77 inch G3 is on sale for 3500 at Best Buy. A95L is 5000. Hard to justify the Sony at that price even if you have the money. It's better, but is it $1500 better? I mean, that's a hard value proposition. Not to mention it's currently unavailable so you can't get one even if you wanted to. 😆
Does not Sony use LG OLED panels?
Yep! Since J-OLED went bankrupt, Sony has used an LG's entirely on their OLED😂
Hello bro , in this video lg g3 is calibrated ?
Did they fix the game mode on the lg??
I was able to snag a 65 inch G3 for 2080 on Amazon. No brainer for me. I never saw the A95L dip below 3k.
Any direction you could send me to where you gathered all that HDR content that lasted so long?
I have a 2012 Sony XBR 1080p 55” micro-dimming LED TV that, after 12 yrs, has developed some lines. At first, I considered the a95L 65” but did not like the price. Just picked up the G4 65”. Is the G4 a better panel? Sure. Even-better blacks and off-axis are a step up. The miss though is the far more accurate whites on my older set. When sitting 8 ft away as I do, on axis, I’m still favouring the older Sony. Not only are its colours still slightly more accurate, but the whites are more pure. It’s as if the G4 is an overly warm panel. Even pushing the panel into its cool range by double digits still doesn’t match my Sony’s neutral, clean whites. Conclusion - G4 is going back. A95L will be my next upgrade. No warm yellow tint for me, thanks.
Also of note is the glass. My older Sony has great gorilla glass which while glass/gloss, barely shows reflections. In contrast, G4 is like a mirror with just some ambient light.
Im looking at both these tvs. Is it worth buying the G3 or just wait till the A95L comes down in price. I am not jn a rush.
If you want the BEST picture quality, I suggest you wait for the A95L to go down in price. No one can compete with Sony's processing. If you don't want the best, don't want to spend more money, and still want a great picture, get the LG G3.
I just got my G3 from Brand smart and labor day special 1,465 and what a TV im really impressed
Who has the best 3D pop effect? some say LG, others Sony... in this video I'm struggling to understand that Sony has it, right?
Does this apply to other OLED series? Example for C3 series and 90k 80l series etc?
LG clearly has better 3D pop effect to my eye, colors are much more natural too, not overly seturated like Sony has.
A may have missed it. Were the G3 and A95L calibrated? If not which setting did you use for the G3 and the A95L?
Both are out of the box. G3 is fmm and A95L is professional mode to match closest
Nothing to add that has not been said in this thorough, detailed and honest review of these two top shelf TVs of 2023. The only thing that remains to be answered is: is the Sony TV really that much better as the price difference suggests? Or, put another way: what would make you happier in the long run: overall better picture quality... or considerable amount of money stil left in your wallet? Short, but very, very good comparison review !
Thanks for the interesting comparison. I was surprised how often I preferred the G3. I found the whites on the A95L too little warm. I would really like to see them both with a challenging dark scene and see how they handle the greys. My old LG OLED really screws this up, but I would assume there have been massive improvements!
The A95L, as all the QD-OLED do, have a big problem with black level depth when viewed in a non-dimmed room. And you can watch TV even in brightly lit rooms. The review is silent on this. Furthermore, the Sony costs almost double the LG. By the way, A95L is REALLY an excellent tv. But non perfect yet.
For the price difference I would get the G3 because they are almost identical. Sure the Sony might be a tiny bit better but unless you are putting them side by side you won’t care. Also the added brightness of the G3 would make it more future proof.
Yeah, in general it seems the LG G3 is a little bright, the A95L can have more saturated color at certain brightness levels (QDOLED) and slightly better processing. But they both look fantastic and if not viewed side by side, you'd probably be thrilled with either one and not think you were missing anything. So the price difference is significant.
Both are awesome TVs, the A95L does have an edge over the G3 and one can't go wrong with either of them.
BUT - if anyone is contemplating between the two based on their price difference - I would suggest also to factor in the S95C (the TOTL TV of Samsung for 2023) - same panel as the Sony, but cheaper yet than the G3.
Thank u kg i always hit on this video to see the comparison between time & another, if i may know cause i wanna pick one at which tv pic mode on both tvs this comparison was taking?
Does sony image proceesing give better video quality when watching youtube videos? I heard sony got the best image processing.
Guys I. have seen both tvs in real life and I strongly reccomend that you go with the G3 because the price difference is huge and not worth it for the A95L, yes you can see more saturated colors on the A95L but only under certain circumstances. In SDR there is no difference but when you are watching HDR and you have a very bright daytime scene and you look closely at the colors you will see more saturation on the A95L then the scene changes and they look exactly the same again. Unless you have money to burn its not worth it.
hi pro I have g3 lg 65 ats wow I want to ask is HDR is Dolby vision thanks
@@אדםאבורביעה-ק4ר Dobly Vision is way better on the G3, the DV on the A95L is broken with raised backs and poor shadow detail hopefully Sony will release an update to fix it because right now its better to turn it off.
If you want tv that is durable and will last a lifetime go with Sony. LG sucks.
@@rondj3495 who buy a tv for Lifetime? Most people change the tv after 5-7 years and for this time the LG is good. They give you a 5 Year warranty.
@@rondj3495
Oh just shut up, my 2016 LG G6 is still doing great and remains FAR above in picture quality what you would call a standard tv today.
That does not disregard the likely possibility that I would go for the A95L today.
I’m leading towards the g3… but the colour issues stray me away… can’t afford the a95l though lol
Looks like both are uncalibrated I’m sure you could fine tune the colors like yellows on the g3 the brightness on g3 is already there.
Just get an A80L if u want to be as close as possible to what the A95L can do. The G3 being brighter than the A80 is just not enough for the price difference considering the A80L will still have better image processing bc it has same XR chip as A95L
@@lvproductionsinc9748 I’ve been thinking this as well tbh
Why not consider the Samsung S90C or S95C?
@@TestTranslator bc with Samsung otb performance is still off with a yellow /orange look and even on QLED it is magenta and the processing doesn’t beat the G3 for low res content .
so i'm not a lg fan and always hate lg i swear but the g3 are more realistic more colorfull.. and if u check 01:15 u can see that the g3 are deeper in black and whit realistic gamma or maybe in hdr and dolby. and i think that the sony have a shadow issue. the only good think on the a95l are that the tv have better details in picture.
The a95l 1300$more expensive than the g3
G3 better choice and g3 better in burn in
Yeah I got a 55 inch G3 and it is insane for the cost of the television. I couldn't care less if QD OLED is more accurate than WOLED.
@@cemsengul16 best choice
Know woled is perfect after tow years qd oled is best choice
G3 , 77" is 30% cheaper than A95L, when you throw in the price the G3 is better even if you buy a Soundabr separately.
@@kuldipsingh366 Yeah LG js just a better value. Congratulations on buying the 77 inch version.
@@cemsengul16plus, the G3 comes with a FIVE YEAR Warranty vice just a Three Year Warranty for the Sony. (The five year warranty is just on the G series tho)
While you would need at least a decent sound bar and stand with the LG, also keep in mind you will need to buy warranty coverage for the Sony to match the 5 year LG warranty. So, it's a wash. The Sony is the better tv, but that cost differential is pretty large at the moment.
Nothing is a guarantee, but the odds are pretty well in your favor that the Sony will make 5 years.
Could you do a video about A75L vs Q90C vs LC3 please
I dont know, i still have to see ANY youtube video were the "Sony Processing" really can be seen as so superior, that it covers the Sony Tax.
Besides that, you wont notice the color difference without side by side. So if you dont have money to burn, get the G3 with the Additional Warranty, the better no-nonsense Build Quality, better overall shipset and the completly fine processing (or even the G2 with the better Processing) and have a TV that will prob. last until either QD-OLED is even more affordable or in 4-5 years there is a new technology on the market even better....And with the money saved, you can then also buy a soundbar, that will be miles ahead of any inbuilld solution. Sony is just too expensive with their Flagships. Only TV worht buying this years is funny enough the A90L in Europe, cause its a bargain with Sony XL Processing.
I had a g3 an now a 95l and its significantly better. The processing the color the depth. I am so happy . Now i am a sony boy haha
I was in process of buying 1 or other right now and your video spun me to the Sony. LGs was 800 cheaper but you seem to think that is nothing compared to the difference in how good the Sony is. Thanks
Witch one is better? Panasonic mzw2004 or A95L?
I unfortunately don’t know because Panasonic doesn’t offer TVs here in the US
From what I've read online, Panasonic's best offering is still not as good as the Sony A95L.
Is the sony a95l worth a upgrade from sony a90j same size?
I got the same question with my C1 :D it is two Years Old but Man the A95L is a Beast I think! but I don't know is the Difference so Big ?
Both tv's look great but the SONY with QD is outstanding. 😊
I know this comment doesn’t apply to the video but….. I need help from people more knowledgeable than me
I ordered the s90c and it seems like it is back ordered got it for the 1999 plus 10% off. I just got noticed from Samsung that I got a model swap to the s90cd???? Do I need to cancel? What are the difference??
Nah no need to cancel no picture quality difference it’s just a warehouse model (Costco)
@@TechWithKG thanks your the best!! Love your channel
@@Chris-sl2pv Thank you that means a lot! Enjoy that new TV!
@@Chris-sl2pv Thank you!
I'd love to see the A95L vs the X95L. I'm wavering between the two as we had some burn-in issues with OLED and I have no idea how to judge actual black levels and haloing. So seeing both at the same lighting conditions with the same material would be great.
For dark viewing OLED hands down - LED always has elevated blacks that’s noticeable. With ambient light or daylight that’s less visible but be careful of reflections as handling of that is absolutely rubbish on VA panels (smudges across screen).
@@whitecrowuk575Oh I’m aware. I just want to see a direct comparison. To give an example, I’ve seen a lower end Sony LED yesterday. I’ve also seen a MacBook Pro miniLED screen. Even those two are worlds apart.
All the reviewers always talk about the difference, by they never show it. Which makes me wonder if manufacturers have a ban on that kind of comparison.
@@Mendorian I’ve seen X95L in person and even though it wasn’t side by side to Oled the difference in black level is noticeable enough that I didn’t have to. Raised blacks is different problem from blooming. Blooming on x95L is minimal enough to be non issue. People could even see the difference between WOLED and QD OLEDs raised black levels even when they were minimal.
All depends what’s your current TV. If it’s LED - raised blacks won’t stand out for you and this will be great TV. If you have/had Oled you will notice. Not sure if it’s something I could get used to, impossible to know without owning it. But saying this if you have money for A95L and don’t mind 77” over 85” then there is not much to think about.
@Mendorian Brians Tech Therapy has that comparison
Great video man, though I dont understand why you guys never do videos anymore on TVs most people can afford. Its all A95L, G3, S95C this year, save a few S90C videos.
and this is all the tech channels, so not picking on you
I got some coming still I just enjoy comparing the best technology side by side it’s really enjoyable. I’d love to do more TVs in the future but I have to pick and choose what to check out.
because brokies dont generate revenue for sponsors
On Halloween at Best Buy, you can get a 77" A95L for 5k. Or, you can get a 77" G3 (with its 5 year panel warranty) AND a 65" S90C for 100 bucks more. Sony needs to get their premium TVs to market earlier. Seems like an opportunity missed. Winning a TV shootout feels like winning the battle but losing the war.
Why does it feel like the TVs have a “transition” when going from low/high APL scenes, or vice versa? Does anyone else see that, it’s really annoying….
What you’re noticing is the camera having to adjust otherwise it be clipping heavily the whole time
@@TechWithKGaaah ok, thanks!
The Sony S95L really is a long way ahead in clarity, brightness and natural tones. That's what you pay for I guess. I'm reminded of people who criticise the MX5 for not driving as well as a Lotus or a Porsche....
You didnt mention the input lag between them for gaming?
Forgot to mention that QD OLED looks grey when there's ambient light.
The bright whites imo are what ruins the g3 compared to past ones. Impact is one thing but when its impact only with one thing that causes dilution its not good.
The MLA layer boosts the whites as well as the colors. It should be no more diluted than a C3 but with brighter whites and colors
@@DinoT-r2q the color saturation is able to make up for the brightness. Qd oled doesn't use white sub pixels like wrgb oled tvs do so the white on regular oled washes out colors unlike qd oled. No matter what LG has in place to counteract it. Its going to happen which is why the color volume is still so low in comparison when it comes to bright vivid colors.
@shadaoshai yet its color volume still is nothing in comparison. The white will still dilute color regardless of what LG has put in place to counteract it.
@@reviewforthetube6485 QD Oled has higher color volume no doubt. I was just pointing out that color volume is no worse than past LG Oleds while still being much brighter.
Now imagine putting an MLA on a QD Oled with a new phosphorescent blue oled stack and that TV will be otherworldy.
I actually prefer the LG colors in this video. The Sony looks too yellow.
The A95L looks warmer and seems to display red levels far better than the G3.
Might be able to get a 77A95L at a very steep discount from a reputable and secure retailer. It's currently out of stock, but if it comes back, would anyone be interested in buying it for $4000 (you pay PayPal fees), shipped to your door (continental US only)? I've never done anything like this, so I will only be picking up one TV if I do it at all. And you will definitely be sending money before I send the TV. I will be picking one of these up for myself too. Just putting it out there if anyone is as frustrated as I am with the low stock on these things, and is willing to work with others to get it at a better price than MSRP. Hoping this doesn't violate any community rules. I'm so happy to be part of the A/V enthusiast community now!
Tell me you’re scamming without telling me you’re scamming😂
Great tvs! Thank you Kg for the comparison! Was really waiting for this, appreciate it! 🙌🏻
The G3 is very impressive, considering price difference and obsolete WOLED. Can MLA and Quantam dots be combined?
“No” is what Samsung Display told me
@@stopthefomoqd oleds have a triangular pixel structure,so it will show some color distortion,especially on white text,you can see green color on top of text and purple on bottom.also the black levels on qd oleds are slightly raised compared to woled cause it lacks a polarizer filter.these are some of the downsides with the qd oled tech.
@@stopthefomo that sucks! Lol, I'm surprised LG hasn't used their version of Quantam dots (QNED or Nanocell, whatever it is) with OLED yet.
@@JFLTXwhy would they when their is no competition?
@kingyogesh441 WOLED is inferior, it's only gonna get worse if LG doesn't get in QD game or use PHOLED.

Id love the sony, but not at a £2000 price difference! The lg g3 will do just fine.
Thank you so much, you really help me
Could use some advice. I've been agonizing over this choice for a couple of months.
Moderately bright room but no direct sunlight. Zero gaming, not a lot of movies, almost all streaming and sports. DirecTV + Apple TV 4K. I'm limited to wired headphones, so my choices aren't great. No Sonys, for example, unless I use a clunky audio extractor dongle. I've narrowed it down to the QM8 75" or S90C 65". The 75" U8K is an IPS-ADS panel, so I eliminated it, I much prefer VA. I know you said you don't like the term 3D-pop, but that's what I'm looking for. Since I don't watch many movies, I'm not concerned with creators' intent. Coming from a TCL R615 65", which I think still has a great picture even though it's just FALD.
The QM8 is currently $1251 on Amazon, which is a really great price. The S90C is $1599 everywhere, including the Samsung discount site. I've never had an OLED, so I'm leaning that way, but the QM8 price and size is really attractive.
You would choose?
Do you need the larger size for better viewing, are you sitting too far currently? If yes you have to go for the size IMO.
If you are content with your 65” size I think since you never had OLED you would really appreciate the difference with the S90C.
The price difference is unjustifiable. Until they are within $500, the upgrade to the Sony is far from worth it.
