Our Verdict

Sony A80L/A80CL OLED

LG C4 OLED

The LG C4 OLED and Sony A80L/A80CL OLED perform very similarly, although the LG has a small edge in all areas. They both use WOLED panels, so they're about equally as colorful. The LG is, however, noticeably brighter in HDR and SDR than the Sony, so all content pops more on the LG. They're about as good when it comes to processing, but the LG is more accurate in SDR before any calibration. Finally, the LG TV is better for gamers because it has 4k @ 144Hz support on all four HDMI ports, lower input lag, and higher HDR brightness in Game Mode.
