Our Verdict
Sony A95K OLED
LG G3 OLED
The Sony Bravia XR A95K and the LG G3 OLED are very similar TVs. The A95K is better for watching movies and TV due to it’s excellent upscaling and smoother gradients in HDR. The Sony also delivers a better color volume and has a wider color gamut, so colors are brighter and more vibrant. The LG G3 is a bit more versatile and is a better option for gaming due to its lower input lag, and it has four ports capable of HDMI 2.1 bandwidth, opposed to the two ports on the A95K.
