Our Verdict
LG SJ9500
LG B7/B7A OLED
If you enjoy watching movies in a dark room, then the LG B7A is a better choice, but if you will be watching a lot of static content like news, then the LG SJ9500 is better. The LG B7A has perfect blacks that improve the picture quality in a dark room. Also, the LG B7A has slightly better viewing angles and somewhat better reflection handling, which is great for wide seating arrangments and rooms with many light sources. On the other hand, the LG SJ9500 has marginally better input lag, which is great for video gaming and doesn't have the permanent burn-in risk OLED TVs have.
