Our Verdict

LG C2 OLED

Sony X95J

The Sony X95J and the LG C2 OLED use different panel technologies, each with strengths and weaknesses. The Sony looks good in a dark room, but it excels in a bright viewing environment, as it's considerably brighter than the LG, and bright highlights stand out better. On the other hand, the LG uses an OLED panel, which delivers deep inky blacks in a dark room, with no blooming around bright objects and perfect black uniformity.
