Thanks for this video. I was on the fence between 77A95L and 77G4. It was tough choosing, I have a 65A80L but it's moving to the bedroom, I needed a 77 for the living room and I really wanted a QD-OLED. I don't want to be switching settings for content, I just want to use one setting. I'm hoping I made the right decision since the Sony is quite a bit more than the LG.
G4 for me this year Iceman😊 I will wait until BF for a sale. The new release price is a little too expensive for me honestly. I want 55 inch for my bedroom use.😊
Which TV would be better for watching F-1 racing, football and other sports (30% Time)(important fluent movement of the picture) and for streaming (40 % Time) (important contrast and colours)? A95L or Mini LED from Sony 2024?
Hi! I know I'm late to the party, but the A95L is going to give you the more significant motion and colors. The G4 is very very close, but it's a slight edge here. The new 2024 Bravia 9 will be absolutely amazing if you don't mind the slightly less perfect blacks and a small case of blooming. If you can hold out for that, I would get the Bravia 9 or get an A95L now. The G4 is the gaming TV champ here, and especially if you need an 83 inch size although the Bravia 9 can come in 85 inches.
A95L definitely proves it's a 2024 TV, it's actually as bright or even brighter at times. I like Sony. I am lookin at their new MiniLED as my next TV with the new backlight. But if that doesn't pan out as well as hoped. I will however likely go with a G4. The reasoning for that is they have a lot of extra features, processing is improved and then there is the 5 year panel warranty. For me here in Canada and getting a BB warranty for 77" would cost $1,500 before taxes. for just that. That is just too much. So the G4 is a better option that way. The 144Hz for me gaming on PC and all the AI tweaks and settings is enticing. Yes QDOLED is better than WOLED. But it's not by some massive degree. Also they are both OLED so can't really go wrong with either. But I am more worried about burn in with A95L and got to have warranty. See I use my TV as my PC monitor and I am on it a LOT. Many hours per day because its' the display interface for all that I do. Browsing. YT, other things and gaming and watching movies/shows. So it needs to have a warranty. The G4 just comes with it for free. For 5 years with one free panel exchange. The BB warranty in Canada covers 4 years and like I said, cost a huge amount. So unless the G4 is bad in some way and I am not getting the Sony. Then the G4 would be the "OLED" option if I go that route. But the MiniLED is first pick and choice. I am fine with tiny blooming and infinite contrast is overrated because things in real life isn't "infinite black anything". So it's artificial. The Sony MiniLED likely will have superior shadow detail and near black handling.
Hey loki! I certainly understand, and you won't be upset with the G4, its like Kobe vs MJ (A95L) lol. In your situation, it makes a LOT OF SENSE to get the G4. I generally do recommend other brands to people all the time depending on their use case. Did you get it (the LG G4) by now by any chance?
I haven’t seen any of these TV’s in person but the G4 looks the most impressive to me. Near perfect whites and out of box color accuracy. Seems to also punch a little brighter and show more detail in a picture in comparison to the A95L. But hey! There’s always something new and better right around the corner. I’m looking forward to seeing how the Bravia 9 is going to stack up to these oleds.
So one thing nobody talks about is in its smoothness, the LG is better in that regard. I have bad stigmatism, so my eye becomes bothered if it’s not liquid smooth. I’m sorry but Sony is just not as good when things are in motion and panning. It pulls me out of the experience every time. Over and over again.
100%. I returned a95l and went back to g4 when I realize it was fomo (not the TH-camr) that made me think Sony is better. QD oled is nice but it’s somewhat unrealistic at times pushing colour where I know it doesn’t get that colourful. Also, I experienced stutter with a95l in slow scenes and Dolby vision is just not as good as it is on LG. It is overpriced for what it offers when you look at its competitors. The fact everyone is crowning Sony as the most cinematic tv is simply not true. It’s the best compliment to Sony’s marketing department.
I am new to the scene and tested the waters with the Samsung S90C and now will never look back 😂 This year, i am leaning towards QN900D, LG Z3 or whatever 8k Sony produces
Hey Vetteman! Thanks for letting me know and thanks for watching! My guess is that most of us set it and forget it and don’t change the motion settings while watching the same TV show, movie, or Game.
iceman ive had spent hours on my 3d0 played total eclipse man. Ive owned atari 2600 super nes nintendo genesis. Ive played road rash on 3do and the need for speed .
I had all those systems too! Do you think getting the 95D to game on over the 95B is worth it? 65" I found a 75" 900B for a great price and watch tv on that.
Hi! I would go with the larger size TV in this case if you are going to upgrade, UNLESS you can't go from OLED to LED even if it is 8K (processing). IF you hate blooming, or do a lot of off angle viewing, that's the main reason I wouldn't go from an S95B to the 900B, but other than this, you'll love the 900B. The S95B is still close enough to the S95D. The S95D is better, brighter, and has the anti-reflective coating, but it's not a massacre by any means, especially with the S95B on Firmware 1622.
I "traded" my 95B for a 90C same size. 65". I can see a processing difference on the C, speed of menu, the gaming is smoother. I Xbox game on the C and PS5 game on the 900B. I enjoy the softer more detailed picture on the D. Spent less than $2300 for both TVs. I had the Q80R for 4 years and that tv had freesync. Great for gaming as well.
Hey! No, the QN95C is still a great TV, you should be happy with it! This is just referring to the absolute best of the best that one can buy out there.
Hi! Thanks for your support! I would go with the 83 inch G4 as there's not a TON of differences between the A95L and G4 outside of some gaming features. The larger size will trump the better picture processing UNLESS you primarily watch older films and content and need the upscaling. The G4 is good, but not as good as the A95L which will turn your old shows and movies into looking as if they were remastered (the upscaling is that good).
That's great to hear! I certainly understand and I would do the same in your situation! You have to get what works best for you.....let me know what you think about the G4 once you get it if you haven't already!
Agreed. It is also my view that the A95L will still reign by edging out its closest rival LG G4. Question: If in the tropics (sun/brite), which Mini-Led would you recommend if I am into Movies/Streaming/Sports - size range 75 to 86 inches (I don't game).
Agreed! I would suggest the TCL QM8 or new QM7 even over the Hisense, but it depends on your budget also. I still say TCL. You can also check out the new QNED LG TVs for 2024, they definitely compete!
A95L has more beautiful Colors, the G4 has more increased 3D depth, they're Trading blows but you may be able to get the A95L "cheaper" than the G4 now or soon...
It's not really a tie. If you value fine details the Sony is far superior with the reality creation feature on. Once you've seen it in person you will think every other brand of TV looks blurry
I agree with you, but to my use case G4 is the long waiting has ended 2024 since 2019 with C9 I was looking for my use case upgrade especially with 2 HDMI2.1 and no HGIG support I believe LG G4 is the shootout winner prove in the upcoming comparisons but A95L is my second-best 2024
Sup Othman! I hear you, and for most people in 2024, the G4 can't be beat. There's pros and cons that both TVs physically have other the other, so it's really down to preference at this point. They both trade blows image quality wise depending on content and use case. Let me know how you enjoy the G4!
I'm not sure what you mean exactly by usb audio, but it does have a digital audio jack port that can be used for virtually any digital device audio wise.
Brother, whoever buys any of these tv sets will buy or already owns a soundbar. Samsung is great looking tv but I don’t trust Samsung at all. Sony really did people dirty by not fixing all the issues in the A95L and they most likely won’t by the time they come out with another master series in 2025. To pay that premium for lack of support, no thanks. I owned both a95l and g4, and kept the G4, and I almost always buy Sony, besides owning a Samsung one time and had issues, just like with all their appliances, so it’s a hard pass on Samsung.
The Sony A95L does have the ability to connect usb audio, bluetooth audio, analog center channel audio, and several other audio connection features. It will pretty much allow you to output audio any way one would need to.
Wow!!!! I Didn't Know You Switched To The Sony A95L??? From Samsung S95B???? Yeah, It's Going To Be A Battle This Year Far As The LG G4 And Samsung And Sony Tv's!!!! UNBELIEVABLE!!! I Just Want Gaming And Movie 🎬 Picture 📸 And It's Hard To Have It All!!!
Hi Michael! I still have my S95B, I haven't switched, I enjoy both now. As for the G4 vs A95L, they both trade blows and it will be really close either way. There's still some things the A95L does better than the G4 and vice versa. It could go either way!
I call the G3 and 4 fake brightness because the brighter it gets the less saturarted and more washed out the colors get, you wont notice this when the tv is by itself but get even an old C2 and compared it to the G3 or 4 you will notice that the colors look more satured on the C2. This is the main reason why I prefer QD OLED tech.
Hi! I certainly understand, but for some and their audio needs, it really is a big deal. It doesn't matter much for me either as I have the best audio setups on virtually all my TVs, but I know a lot of people where this is a very important thing.
@@icemanandbobtechandgaming i have the lg g3 77 inch. not worth to upgrade. bit brighter in 4k content. standard tv content you seen difference. waiting till 2025 or 2026 big step up. a shame that lg dont come with mla qd oled panels. that will be mindblowing!
@@jantjedewaal Hi! I agree, I wouldn’t upgrade despite it being better unless money isn’t an object for you. There are some substantial upgrades, but not worth it over that G3 since that’s still an amazing TV and is plenty bright in most situations minus gaming (without the trick). If LG did have an MLA type of QD-OLED or just QD-OLED period, they would definitely win
@@icemanandbobtechandgaming true mate. money is no issue for me. i can buy a new one. but dont waist my money. 2025 or 2025 bigger step. micro led will be the future i think. but i think for costumers 2030? i play spiderman 2 on ps5 in filmmakermode 120fps with vrr and allm on in gameoptimizer. i dont know why people complain. in every picturesetting you can use the gameoptimizermode
Americans act like America is the only country in the world, I have a A95l and a Panasonic and my Panasonic MZ2000 is better when it comes to movies for me , Panasonic processing is better than sonys , one thing about Vincent from HDTV test he covers tvs from the US and UK.
And how are we getting Panasonics over here? You want to pay the tariff to ship it over here?? Vincent covers both because both are SOLD in the UK. They’re not both sold here.
Hi Michael! I agree the Panasonic is the best, but unfortunately in the U.S. we don't have it (which sucks for us). We can only go to the next best thing which is currently the A95L. I wish they would come back to the States as they were awesome in the past! Vincent being in the UK has access to Panasonic and all the TVs sold in the U.S. are sold in the UK and worldwide (take note Panasonic), that's the only reason why he covers them. We've even invited Panasonic to the TV Shootouts, but they haven't shown up here in the U.S. If Vincent was here in the States, he'd be in the same boat. It's great that he isn't though for coverage sake for the community. It's great that someone gets to cover something that we cannot.
Vincent is a rare exception in the Industry to have the access and ability to cover TV brands that aren't sold in the UK aka his local region. This is not the case for most TV reviews in the UK, U.S., or anywhere in the world large or small. We can generally only cover what we have access to as the consumers in that area generally won't have access to them either aka there's no market for them to cover as no one can buy or sell them shy of a rare exception such as Vincent.
Which tv will be better for long term usage between lg G4 and Sony A95L?
Early reviews are showing G4 is showing upper hand especially in motion. Glad to see OLED keep pushing its limit.
100% I had just made a comment about that LG is king in motion.
Thanks for this video. I was on the fence between 77A95L and 77G4. It was tough choosing, I have a 65A80L but it's moving to the bedroom, I needed a 77 for the living room and I really wanted a QD-OLED.

Hey Iceman, great video! The A95l is an amazing TV but the 77 inch at $5000 is not the best. Im looking at the LG G4 or the Hisense U8N at 85 inches.
I certainly understand that! It does still come down to use case and preference as well. Both the G4 and U8N are great options!
G4 for me this year Iceman😊 I will wait until BF for a sale. The new release price is a little too expensive for me honestly. I want 55 inch for my bedroom use.😊
That's what's up! G4 is a beast! I agree on waiting for the sales later this year, you'll save a ton!
Which TV would be better for watching F-1 racing, football and other sports (30% Time)(important fluent movement of the picture) and for streaming (40 % Time) (important contrast and colours)? A95L or Mini LED from Sony 2024?
Perhaps the Sony for sports, would be a slight edge only. But value for money the G4.
Hi! I know I'm late to the party, but the A95L is going to give you the more significant motion and colors. The G4 is very very close, but it's a slight edge here. The new 2024 Bravia 9 will be absolutely amazing if you don't mind the slightly less perfect blacks and a small case of blooming.

I watch in bright room and day time with tone of reflections but still I prefer glassy panel
I have a 65’’ a95l in my master bedroom, but will be getting a 77’’ g4 oled for my living room bro. Thanks
That’s what’s up! Best of both worlds! You can’t go wrong that way! Let me know how you like the G4 when you get it!
Did you buy the g4? How do you compare both yourself?

Saying that you obviously haven't seen s95d live. The light diffusion from that anti glare panel is terrible. I'll stick with glass screens.
Yo Iceman do you know anything about the new 1640 S95B update ?😊
I think going with LG G4. Thanks for the information.
You're welcome! I hope you enjoy your G4!
Imagine bird sitting on tree 🌲 with dslr zoom with take portrait of it we see minute details that kind of accuracy sony a95l has got it 👍

No
Agreed. It is also my view that the A95L will still reign by edging out its closest rival LG G4. Question: If in the tropics (sun/brite), which Mini-Led would you recommend if I am into Movies/Streaming/Sports - size range 75 to 86 inches (I don't game).

It's great that he isn't though for coverage sake for the community. It's great that someone gets to cover something that we cannot.
Vincent is a rare exception in the Industry to have the access and ability to cover TV brands that aren't sold in the UK aka his local region. This is not the case for most TV reviews in the UK, U.S., or anywhere in the world large or small. We can generally only cover what we have access to as the consumers in that area generally won't have access to them either aka there's no market for them to cover as no one can buy or sell them shy of a rare exception such as Vincent.
