Sony 42 A90K OLED
LG C4 42 OLED
The Sony 42 A90K OLED and the LG 42 C4 OLED are both 42-inch OLED displays. The C4 is the better option for most people, as it has a slightly higher refresh rate and gets brighter. However, the Sony is still a good option if you can find it for less and don't mind the reduced brightness.

Unfortunately, we haven’t reviewed the UK6100, so we don’t have any calibration data on it. The basic settings of the UK6300 should get you pretty close, but the white balance should not be copied, as this varies between models, and even between different units of the same model.
thank you for the quick reply Adam. just two questions :
1- how may I fully calibrate my tv at home ? I found this video not sure how good this way is and if there are better ways to get the best picture quality for my TV. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_wC909lmnI4
2- the black level is not good for this tv as I watch tv in a dark room most of the time and the black color looks milky even when I lower the backlight to 0 and brightness to 37. what settings may I use to get better black levels ?
We don’t recommend trying to calibrate at home with your smartphone. The only way to fully calibrate at home is with specialized equipment. There are a few things you can do though to improve the image accuracy, including some test patterns that can be used to make some small adjustments. We cover this here.
We don’t recommend adjusting the Brightness setting. This is an image processing option, and it can cause the issues you are describing. Try setting it back to the default ‘50’ and then adjusting only the backlight. Adjusting the gamma can also help a bit.
Thank you very much Adam. any recommended budget equipment for calibration that I can buy ONLINE?
There are a few colorimeters on Amazon that you can order, we don’t know how good they are though.
