This looks to be one of the best OLED TVs in 2024, although it is second in command to the flagship Bravia 9 which instead uses mini-LED technology. Both LG and Samsung have already released their OLED line-up this year, so now it's time for Sony to join the party - but where can you buy one?

Sony Bravia 8 pre order now available

The latest news on the Bravia 8 is that pre orders are officially available, at least on the UK store page, with shipping due to start on June 24th for the 55" and 65" models. In the US and Canada, this new OLED TV is not yet available to pre order but is still listed with a prompt to sign up for notifications. As it starts becoming available to buy on multiple retailers, we'll be keeping an eye on any pre order phases and associated bonuses if applicable.

Is there a Sony Bravia 8 pre order bonus?

Sony is running the same pre order promotion for multiple of their 2024 Bravia TVs. The Bravia 8 is the only OLED they've announced so far, and if you pre order it through their official store then you can get a Bravia Cam for free. Based on the UK store, the CMU-BC1 cam is worth £199 - so not a bad saving.

When will the Sony Bravia 8 be available to buy?

Right now, we're still in the pre order phase for the Bravia 8, but we expect it to become more widely available in various regions very soon. Considering the fact that both the Bravia 3 and Bravia 7 are now easily accessible on the likes of Amazon, the new OLED shouldn't be too far off. To compare, its predecessor, the A80L, released in May 2023 and we predict a similar timeframe.

We've already spotted the mid-range Bravia 7 going up for sale on multiple retailers, and we expect the flagship to follow suit very soon - some early listings have been spotted. It is already up for pre order on the official Sony store, but we're going to cover some alternatives, covering the US, UK, and Canada.

Sony Bravia 9 pre order now live

As we can see on the Sony store (in multiple regions), the Bravia 9 is available for pre order and will be shipping from June 10th in the UK. Do note that dates will differ per region. In the US and Canada, it is available in all three sizes, but strangely the 65" model is missing from the UK and wider Europe. Either way, the official store is the best place to go right now if you want to pre order. We hope to see other big retailers such as Amazon or Best Buy joining soon.

Is there a Sony Bravia 9 pre order bonus?

Yes, we've already seen a pre order bonus available when you direct from Sony. This is the same as the one we've spotted for the Bravia 7 - a free Bravia Cam with your purchase when you pre order. Not every region is showing pre orders just yet though (just the UK at the time of writing), but we expect the same promotion to be available elsewhere.

What is the best place to buy Sony Bravia 9?

Going directly to the official Sony store in your region is of course a good place to start. However, prices can vary depending on region and we expect alternatives such as Amazon, Best Buy, and B&H Home Video to be excellent choices. Over in the UK, regional retailer Currys is always a good option as well.

Here we cover the biggest and best retailers to buy from in the US, UK, and Canada as well as any pre order details. We aim to keep this page as up to date as possible, so you should be able to find this new mini-LED TV in no time.

Other retailers are now joining in or have it available to buy already, so we're going to keep you up to date on where to find the new Bravia 7 TV as we quickly make our way through the pre order phase.

Is there a Sony Bravia 7 pre order bonus?

Anyone looking to be an early adopter of the new Bravia 7 is probably interesting in a bonus promotion. Luckily, one is available if you buy directly from Sony. Pre ordering this 2024 TV, no matter the size, earns you a free Bravia Cam (CMU-BC1) that's usually worth $199.99.

We've also spotted some nice additional bundle deals (such a soundbar bundle) which will save you up to $100 with your purchase. Certain promotions do vary depending on region, so be sure to check out all the details before you buy.

How much does the Sony Bravia 7 cost?

Prices may vary between retailers, but we can reference the Sony store to give you an idea of how much you'll be spending on the Bravia 7 if you buy it at launch:

In addition to figuring out when exactly you can get your hands on this TV, we'll also go into the specs and price which have now been officially revealed. Interested in even more new Sony TVs this year? Then check out our Bravia 9 release date and Bravia 8 release date pages as well.

Sony Bravia 7 release date - estimated & confirmed

The latest on the Bravia 7 release date can be found by checking out the product pages on Sony's website. It has also been spotted on retailers such as Amazon, with delivery available as soon as April 25th for the 55" model. In contrast, the larger 75-inch and 85-inch variants are slated for April 29th with pre-orders currently in place.

Below we've arranged the release dates according to the Sony store in the US, Canada, and the UK at the moment. We can see the earliest date is April 29th on the US Sony store and a free Bravia Web Cam is advertised with your purchase.

Sony Bravia 7 specs

Sony has said that the new Bravia 7 should perform similar to last year's X95L, while being a spiritual successor to the X90L. It's designed to be a more affordable version of the Bravia 9, and while we don't have the specifics just yet, it will feature less local dimming zones. This does result in worse contrast control, but it will still provide an impressively-bright display and solid HDR visuals. Another change is the less powerful Acoustic Multi Audio (rather than AMA+).

The usual gaming features are included with support for up to 4K 120Hz with the HDMI 2.1 standard. VRR and ALLM are available, plus the exclusive PS5 features we've already seen in last-gen's Sony TVs (Auto HDR Tone Mapping and Auto Genre Picture Mode). It will be available in sizes from 55-inch to 85-inch to cater for a slightly wider range of consumers.

A full range of specs can be found on the Sony product page. Additional features and design choices can be seen in the product video below.

Sony Bravia 7 price - US, Canada, UK

While we do have to wait for the Bravia 7 to be released in every region, we don't have to wait to view the pricing as Sony has already disclosed this. Below we've covered all models in the US, Canada, and the UK. As a mid-range alternative, it is up to $2,000 cheaper than the flagship in the case of the 85 inch variant.

As RTINGs has mentioned, some 2023 models such as the X90L will see continued availability this year (likely at a reduced cost), so there are a couple of great QLED options if you want something cheaper.

How is the Sony Bravia 7 different from Sony Bravia 9?

Both the Bravia 7 and Bravia 9 are part of Sony's new 2024 TVs with a brand-new naming convention. The pair of them are mini-LED TVs (the Bravia 8 being OLED if you're curious).

As far as key differences go, the mid-range model has much fewer local dimming zones, which will affect the peak brightness, picture quality, contrast levels, and colors. Even still, the Bravia 7 is said to be 790% brighter than the X90L thanks to the addition of its mini-LED backlighting technology compared to the X90L's standard LED with Full Array.

Is the Sony Bravia 7 worth it?

We definitely think the Bravia 7 will be a great option for a wide range of consumers, whether you're looking to upgrade your home theater setup or gaming experience. Thanks to its upgrade to a mini-LED backlight solution, it offers much of what you'll find in the 2024 flagship model at a more affordable price. While rival manufacturers continue to push OLED technology, Sony have mini-LED covered, and these displays offer a longer lifespan to boot.

LG is a brand which is at the forefront of OLED TV tech, and Sony is using one of their WOLED panels for the Bravia 8. They haven't revealed too much regarding this new set, but we'll be keeping an eye on any developments moving forward. Aside from the upcoming release date, we also have a good look at the specs and pricing.

Sony Bravia 8 release date - US predicted & UK confirmed

So, when exactly does the new Sony Bravia 8 (XR80) hit stores? Well, nothing is too crystal clear just yet, at least for all regions. Sony has implemented a new naming scheme for 2024's line-up, and the XR80 will be overtaking the A80L, though the latter will continue to be sold - RTINGS says this older SKU remains as a carryover. Here's a brief history on previous release dates:

Looking on the Sony UK store, we can see that the Bravia 8 will be shipped from the 24th of June. This at least reveals when we'll see availability in one region, but what other markets like the US? For now, the US store simply has a notification sign-up rather than an exact date, so we'll based our prediction off the release date history above. It's a mixed bag, so we'll predict that the Sony Bravia 8 will be available as early as May.

If you want buy it as soon as possible, check out our dedicated where to buy Sony Bravia 8 page.

Sony Bravia 8 specs we know so far

All in all, the new Bravia 8 OLED TV doesn't seem to be a massive upgrade compared to 2023's A80L, but there are some changes. What Hi-FI? had some time with the new display and say that Sony claim it will be around 10% brighter, which has been achieved without QD-OLED or MLA panel technology. As always with any OLED panel, we can expect perfect blacks and excellent color accuracy as standard.

As far as features go, much of the same is in place - but there is the new Prime Video Calibrated Mode which auto-adjusts picture settings between different content types on Amazon's streaming service. There is also a similar setting for Netflix implemented. One interesting detail is that the 83-inch size is missing from the line-up, something which was present for the A80L.

For gaming, the new Bravia 8 is expected to be top-notch. It does only reach a 120Hz refresh rate compared to Samsung's and LG's 144Hz, but this is all you need for console gaming. The OLED panel will be highly responsive and you get gaming support via Variable Refresh Rate, Auto Low Latency Mode, and exclusive features for the PS5 (Auto HDR Tone Mapping and Auto Genre Picture Mode). One downside, much like the flagship Bravia 9, is just two HDMI 2.1 ports rather than a full four.

Sony Bravia 8 price announced

There's no need to speculate if you're wondering about the price tag of this new OLED TV. It has already gone up for pre order in some regions, and Sony itself has disclosed how much the Bravia 8 will cost. We've put together a table with the data just below.

Due to the fact there will be no 83-inch variant, you'd have to settle for last year's A80L if you want the true big-screen experience. That currently (on Amazon) retails for just under $4,800, though we're keen to see if the pricing changes at all once the Bravia 8 OLED is widely available.

Is Sony releasing more OLED TVs in 2024?

So far, the Bravia 8 is the only OLED TV that Sony has announced this year. Rival brands such as LG and Samsung have definitely been putting more focus on their WOLED and QD-OLED panel technology respectively, but Sony seem to have taken a step back. However, since last year's A80L availability will be carrying over to this year, you won't be lacking choice.

On the flipside, Sony is definitely pushing mini-LED technology instead with the launch of the Bravia 9 and Bravia 7.

Is the Sony Bravia 8 good for gaming?

We have no doubts that the brand-new Sony Bravia 8 will be a fantastic choice of television for gaming. If you're looking for the best TV for gaming, the XR80 will be a solid choice - especially for PS5 or upcoming PS5 Pro with it's exclusive features for the Sony console. In general, OLED panels are the best for the job due to excellent response times paired with a high 120Hz refresh rate.

Aside from figuring out when this new flagship will be available to buy (in our where to buy Bravia 9 page), we're also going to have a look at the revealed specs so far, as well as the price tag. There's still much to learn at this early stage, but Sony has provided some key details. We'll be keeping as up to date as possible as we count down the days until release.

Sony Bravia 9 release date - US prediction & UK shipping date

Not too much is known about the exact release date of the new Sony Bravia 9 (XR90) mini-LED TV in the US or Canada. On the plus side, these TV releases do get pretty predictable with a similar launch schedule year in, year out. Let's look back to some previous dates to get an idea of when it will launch.

Sony launch their new TVs around the same time each year, not too long after other brands like Samsung and LG - who aim for an early Spring release. The past two flagship mini-LED TVs launched in early-mid May, so we expect the same for the Bravia 9. However, the UK store page does mention that it will ship from the 10th of June, so that's something to consider.

Sony Bravia 9 specs we know so far

Sony released a first look video this April to give a closer look at the features, boasting the Bravia 9's status as their brightest ever 4K TV. It will be available 65", 75", and 85" sizes - though the smallest 65 inch model won't be available in the UK or wider Europe. This seems like a strange choice giving this is a popular size in the region.

So, while other brands are investing time into OLED, Sony is instead going all out on pushing mini-LED with their latest flagship. What Hi-Fi? has reported on their new backlight technology (XR Master Blacklight Drive) which is an evolution of last year's X95L, with Sony claiming to produce OLED-level blacks. There are 325% more local dimming zone according to Sony's press release, but no exact number is given. This will provide both a higher peak brightness and finer control for stunning HDR visuals.

It comes with excellent features for gaming as you'd expect with a smooth 120Hz refresh rate with VRR (Variable Refresh Rate) and ALLM (Auto Low Latency Mode). We can't imagine the response time will be as good as OLED, and the TV will only feature two HDMI 2.1 ports - though eARC connectivity is there to easily connect your home theater speaker setup. A full list of specs is available to see on the Sony website.

Sony Bravia 9 price revealed

Pricing of the Bravia 9 XR90 has already been set for a couple different regions, which we can now explain just below. Sony's flagship X95L from last year was only available in 85-inch for US consumers, priced at $4,499.99, but now the full range is coming to the region with revised pricing.

Is the Sony Bravia 9 XR90 mini-LED?

Yes, the new Sony Bravia 9 is indeed a mini-LED TV. This means the TV uses a much better backlighting solution than standard LED TVs, with full array local dimming for greater control of brightness and contrast levels. It is Sony's brightest 4K TV to date, with "thousands of Mini LEDs" powering its display which reportedly reaches up to 4,000 nits at its peak.

Is the Bravia 9 an 8K TV?

No, the Sony Bravia 9 is actually a 4K television. This means it uses a resolution spanning 3840 x 2160 pixels rather than the 7680 x 4320 of 8K. Even still, 4K remains the standard for the majority of consumer displays, as there really isn't much native 8K content out there at the moment.

Final word

That just about wraps up everything we know about this new Sony mini-LED so far. It doesn't look like the release date is too far away, and we'll get a better picture of the technical specs and performance once hands-on reviews are conducted. In the meantime though, feel free to check out our Bravia 8 release date or Bravia 7 release date articles if you're interested in Sony's 2024 OLED TV offering.

The Sony A90K has consistently been a strong contender against LG TVs, often outperforming its counterparts within the same OLED category. However, in this comparison, the A90K steps out of its usual class to face off against LG's flagship, the G4 OLED. Thanks to the innovative Micro Lens Array (MLA) technology, the LG G4 OLED surpasses the A90K, setting a new benchmark for TV excellence. But how do they compare in other areas? Let's take a look.

But first, if you'd like to find out more about what LG has in store for TV releases this year, take a look at our LG C4 vs Sony A90K comparison guide, where we see how the latest addition to LG's C-series stacks up against the formidable Sony A90K. Additionally, if you want to read up on everything related to the LG G4, check out our LG G4 release date round-up, where we discuss the expected release date of this product, as well as look at its features and specs in detail.

LG G4 OLED vs Sony A90K - specs at a glance

Specs and performance comparison

Gaming

Sony's A90K is strategically positioned as a prime choice for gamers, especially those wielding an Xbox Series X or a Sony PlayStation 5 console. It's packed with gaming-centric functionalities aimed at delivering an optimal experience. One of the highlights is its performance in reducing input lag, a critical factor for gamers demanding real-time response to their actions.

The A90K achieves an input lag of 16.1ms, as verified by a Leo Bodnar Lag Tester. While this figure is commendable—falling below the 20ms threshold that marks a solid gaming experience—it doesn't quite reach the gold standard of 10ms that distinguishes the best gaming displays.

On the other hand, the LG G4 OLED excels in this very domain, offering an exceptionally low input lag that ensures super responsive gameplay with minimal ghosting. This is further complemented by a high native refresh rate of 144Hz, along with support for Variable Refresh Rate (VRR) technologies such as FreeSync Premium and G-Sync compatibility.

Performance and brightness

The Sony A90K shines in environments with controlled lighting, especially in dark rooms. Its outstanding near-infinite contrast ratio and perfect black uniformity ensure that movies and games look their best without any blooming around bright objects. However, when it comes to brightness, the A90K shows restraint.

In Standard picture mode, this Bravia cam product achieves a peak brightness of 219 nits, and in Custom mode—a setting akin to Sony's calibrated view—it slightly dips to 206 nits. While these levels are adequate for dark settings, picture quality might be reduced in brightly lit environments.

Conversely, the LG G4 OLED, armed with its Micro Lens Array (MLA) technology, boasts a remarkable peak brightness of up to 3000 nits. This significant boost in brightness makes the G4 more adaptable to various lighting conditions, enhancing its appeal for a broader range of viewing scenarios. The incorporation of LG's Alpha 11 processor plays a crucial role in achieving this brightness level, as it optimizes the output without compromising the integrity of blacks and contrast that OLED panels are known for.

When it comes to color accuracy, the Sony A90K demonstrates exceptional prowess. Its SDR color performance is notably impressive, with a Delta-E value of 8.2386, indicating a very close match between the source color and the display. Additionally, its coverage of the Rec. 709 color gamut at 99.78% is nearly unmatched, ensuring that colors are rendered with precision and vibrancy.

The A90k has enhanced audio with its Acoustic Surface audio Feature and Dolby Atmos support, creating an immersive experience for the viewer. Whereas the LG G4, thanks to its Alpha 11 chip, is able to incorporate a new AI Sound Pro feature that will process 11.1.2 surround upmixing.

Price comparison

Directly comparing the prices of the LG G4 OLED and Sony A90K poses a bit of a challenge due to the differences in available sizes. While the G4 sizes start at 55 inches at $2,599.99, the A90K only features 42-inch and 48-inch models and the prices for those don’t go above $1,400.

LG G4 vs Sony A90K - which is better?

In this battle between LG and Sony OLED TVs, the winner is not clear-cut. Both TVs possess impressive features within a similar price range. The A90K, with its smaller screens, is ideal for dark rooms, offering premium quality in compact spaces. Conversely, the LG G4's larger sizes and advanced technology shine in well-lit environments, providing versatility and superior visual performance. The choice ultimately hinges on the specific needs of the buyers—whether prioritizing a cozy movie night in a dim setting or embracing a broad spectrum of content in a sunlit living room. Each TV excels in its niche, making the decision a reflection of personal preference and intended use.

LG G4 OLED vs Sony A90K - Conclusion

In conclusion, the LG G4 OLED and Sony A90K target distinct markets. Therefore, the TV that best suits your needs depends on how you intend to use it, what your space is like, and your budget. We hope this comprehensive comparison guide has aided you in any decision process you are making. Stick with us if you'd like to stay up-to-date on all the info being released on the upcoming LG G4.

LG G4 OLED vs Sony A95L: Specs and Performance

Features

The Sony A95L is renowned for its exceptional motion handling, a hallmark of Sony's expertise in creating smooth, lifelike images that are a joy to watch. Its design exudes elegance, setting a high standard for TV aesthetics. Additionally, the A95L stands out for its superior sound quality, offering an auditory experience that complements its visual performance.

When it comes to picture quality, the A95L does not disappoint, delivering stunning brightness, contrast, and colors, thanks to its QD-OLED panel. This technology ensures that viewers are treated to vibrant visuals with deep blacks and bright highlights, making every scene more immersive.

On the other side, the LG G4 OLED brings something special to the table with its second-generation MLA (Micro Lens Array) technology. This innovation allows the G4 to achieve exceptional levels of brightness, surpassing what many expect from OLED displays. The result is a TV that not only competes with but in many ways, exceeds the visual prowess of its counterparts, offering enhanced brightness without sacrificing the deep blacks and rich colors OLEDs are known for.

A significant advantage of the LG G4 is its connectivity options. With four HDMI 2.1 ports, the G4 caters to the needs of users with multiple high-definition devices. Whether it's gaming consoles, streaming devices, or Blu-ray players, having the ability to connect them all simultaneously without the need for constant switching is a game-changer. In contrast, the Sony A95L offers only two HDMI 2.1 ports, which might limit users who have a plethora of devices to connect.

Performance and brightness

In terms of specs and performance, both the LG G4 OLED and the Sony A95L have their strengths. The A95L shines with its superior motion handling, elegant design, and outstanding sound quality, making it a complete package for those who value a holistic viewing experience.

Meanwhile, the LG G4 stands out for its groundbreaking brightness levels and superior connectivity, appealing to users who demand the utmost in visual quality and convenience. Choosing between these two exceptional TVs comes down to what aspects of your viewing experience you prioritize most: the refined elegance and performance of the Sony A95L or the innovative technology and connectivity of the LG G4 OLED.

Sony's A95L sets a high bar with its advanced image processing capabilities. This excellence in processing results in smoother gradients in HDR content, ensuring that transitions between colors are seamless and natural-looking. The upscaling technology Sony employs is equally commendable, making lower-resolution content appear more refined on the A95L's screen.

LG G4 OLED vs Sony A95L: Price

The Sony A95L is a pricier option when compared to the brand-new G4. This is surprising if we consider the fact that the G4 is a 2024 model while the Sony one is from last year. In the table, we can see that the 55-inch size of the S95L is $2,800 while the G4 is $2,600. This $200 difference is significant when you look at brightness difference and processor capacity.

LG G4 OLED vs Sony A95L: Conclusion

The Sony A95L was indeed a standout model in 2023, outperforming its predecessors and justifying its premium price with exceptional image quality and features. However, with the introduction of the LG G4 OLED, the tables have turned. The G4's incorporation of second-generation MLA technology and the Alpha 11 processor not only enhances its performance significantly but also places it a step above the A95L in terms of value.

The LG G4 OLED offers a compelling blend of cutting-edge technology and better affordability, making it an excellent investment for those seeking the pinnacle of TV performance without the extra cost associated with last year's model. In this matchup, the LG G4 not only competes with the Sony A95L but surpasses it, delivering unparalleled value to the discerning viewer.

The main difference between the LG C4 and the Sony A90J is versatility; unfortunately, Sony only provides the A9J with 2x HDMI ports, while the LG C4 has double the amount. However, when it comes to brightness, the Sony A90J comes out on top. Let's take a deeper look into the specs, performance, and price ranges of both these impressive products.

The LG C4 was recently announced at the annual CES event in January 2024. It was just one of many next-gen additions to the LG OLED TV lineup. If you'd like to find out more about some of the other LG TVs set to release this year, check out our LG G4 vs LG B4 comparison, where we take a look at both upcoming products to see which would best suit you. Additionally, if you'd like to find out more about the LG C4, then take a look at our LG C4 release date round-up, where we discuss the predicted release window, confirmed prices, and provide direct pre-order links.

LG C4 OLED vs Sony A90J - specs at a glance

Specs and performance comparison

Sound Quality

The LG C4 is decked out with a suite of audio enhancements including Dolby Audio, Dolby Atmos, and DTS:X, ensuring that every auditory detail is delivered with clarity and depth. Its AI Sound Pro feature further enhances this experience by tailoring the audio output to match the content, ensuring that whether you're watching a fast-paced action movie or a dialogue-heavy drama, the sound is always optimized for the best listening experience.

In contrast, Sony's A90J introduces a novel audio concept with its Acoustic Surface Audio+ technology, where the TV screen itself doubles as the speaker. This innovative approach offers a uniquely immersive audio experience, with sounds emanating directly from their corresponding actions on the screen, adding an extra layer of realism to your viewing.

Combined with Dolby Atmos and other high-quality sound technologies, the A90J not only matches the C4 in terms of clarity and depth but also surpasses it with its ability to deliver a more robust bass response, making it a strong contender for those prioritizing sound in their TV selection.

As previously mentioned, the main difference between the two TVs is connectivity, which can play a vital role when considering a consumer's intended use. Gamers who hope to connect multiple devices or consoles during gameplay would find the LG C4 with its 4x HDMI ports the more useful option.

LG C4 OLED vs Sony A95L - specs at a glance

Specs and performance comparison

Features

Starting with platforms, LG's webOS 24 smart platform on the C4 OLED shines with its user-friendly interface and stability, outperforming Sony's Google TV, which some users find to be occasionally sluggish and prone to glitches. This edge in software smoothness enhances the LG C4's overall user experience, making it a more enjoyable TV for daily use.

Connectivity further sets these models apart, particularly for those with multiple devices. Sony's A95L offers only two HDMI 2.1 inputs, a limitation that can be a dealbreaker for gamers or tech enthusiasts with several high-definition devices. 

In contrast, LG's C4 generously provides four HDMI 2.1 ports, catering to a seamless multi-device setup. This advantage not only caters to a hassle-free console gaming experience but also supports a more connected and integrated home entertainment system. For users valuing extensive connectivity and a smoother operating system, the LG C4 OLED clearly stands out as the superior choice.

Performance and brightness

When pitting the LG C4 OLED against the Sony A95L, it becomes evident that the A95L's QD-OLED panel secures victory, especially for those valuing screen brightness, picture quality, and image processing above all. The A95L shines brightest, quite literally, in well-lit environments where its superior brightness levels and HDR performance dramatically enhance the viewing experience, offering a vividness and depth that the LG C4 struggles to match.

Moreover, Sony's prowess in upscaling technology transforms even older content into visually stunning experiences, showcasing crisp details and vibrant colors. Although the LG C4 performs admirably with its reflection handling and SDR brightness, it falls short of the A95L's HDR capabilities. 

Therefore, for viewers chasing the ultimate in dynamic and immersive visual experiences, the Sony A95L stands out as the clear choice. Its unparalleled brightness and color fidelity make it not just a better TV but a portal to a more vivid and engaging viewing world.

Design

When it comes to design, both LG and Sony have their unique strengths and highlights. Sony's A95L moves away from its predecessor's unconventional stand, adopting a more classic stance with two feet positioned at either end of the TV. This design change brings versatility, allowing for both Standard and Soundbar positions in the 55-inch and 65-inch models, catering to different user preferences and setup requirements.

On the other hand, the LG C4 OLED features a stand design that elevates the bottom of the screen by 2.7 inches, offering ample space for a sound system to fit comfortably without obstructing the screen. This practical consideration underscores LG's commitment to user convenience. 

While LG's bezels are notably slimmer, enhancing the immersive viewing experience, Sony's A95L excels in build quality. The A95L's premium construction and solid materials lend it an undeniable sense of luxury and durability. The stand provides robust support, minimizing wobble and instilling confidence in the TV's stability. Although the LG C4 also boasts high-quality materials, the exceptional build quality of the Sony A95L sets a benchmark that's hard to match.

Price comparison

The Sony A95L commands a premium over the LG C4, with its 55-inch model priced at $2,799 compared to the C4's $1,999, and the gap widens further with larger sizes. This price differential reflects their positioning in distinct categories: the A95L is a high-end choice with superior brightness, image processing, and build quality, catering to those who demand the best and are willing to pay for it. In contrast, the C4 offers excellent value for those seeking high performance without the top-tier price.

Is the LG C4 better than the Sony A95L?

When considering the LG C4 OLED versus the Sony A95L, it becomes evident that the A95L stands out as the superior choice for those who prioritize peak brightness, upscaling, and build quality. Although it comes with a higher price tag, the investment is justified by its exceptional performance and longevity.

For enthusiasts seeking the pinnacle of TV technology and willing to pay for premium features, the Sony A95L emerges as the clear victor in this head-to-head comparison, offering an unparalleled viewing experience that truly sets it apart.
