LG CX OLED TV Review

In terms of picture quality, the LG GX OLED and the LG CX OLED are two very similar TVs and any differences come down to panel variance. Our unit of the CX has much better color accuracy, better gradient handling, and it gets slightly brighter. However, our unit of the GX has wider viewing angles. The major difference between them is that the GX comes with a wall mount that makes it sit flush against a wall, while the CX comes with a stand.

The LG CX OLED and its predecessor, the LG C9 OLED, are two very similar-performing TVs. The C9 has better gray uniformity and viewing angles, but that could be due to panel differences. The CX has better built-in speakers and the black frame insertion works at 120Hz, but it causes some duplication in motion. Overall, they're two excellent TVs that should please most people.

The LG CX OLED and the LG A1 OLED deliver nearly identical picture quality, but the CX offers better gaming features. The CX has 4 HDMI 2.1 ports, and it supports more advanced gaming features like variable refresh rate technology (VRR). The CX is also a bit better for movie watching, as it can remove judder from any source, and it has an optional black frame insertion feature to reduce persistence blur. 

The LG CX OLED and the Sony A9S OLED are very much alike, but the LG is a bit better, mainly due to its advanced gaming features. It can display a 4k @ 120Hz signal, and it has lower input lag and VRR support. The Sony's viewing angles are slightly wider, making it a better choice for wide seating areas. It has better gray uniformity as well; however, this varies between units.

The LG CX OLED is better than the Sony X900H. The LG is an OLED TV that can produce perfect blacks, which the Sony can't. The LG has wider viewing angles, better reflection handling, and its near-instantaneous response time results in almost no motion blur. They both support VRR, but the CX has FreeSync support.

The Sony A8H OLED and the LG CX OLED are almost identical in performance. The Sony delivers slightly better picture quality, as it has better gradient handling and a much better color volume. On the other hand, the LG is a better choice for gaming, as it has a lower input lag, and it supports advanced gaming features like VRR and 'Auto Low Latency Mode'.

The LG CX OLED and the Sony A80J OLED are top-of-the-class OLED TVs with near-infinite contrast ratios and premium features. That said, the LG is a better choice for gamers since it has lower input lag. The LG also gets a bit brighter overall.

The LG C8 OLED and the LG CX OLED are very similar TVs. Their OLED panels allow them to individually turn off pixels, resulting in an infinite contrast ratio and perfect black uniformity. Picture quality between each are similar, and the real differences are that the CX has HDMI 2.1 support, allowing it to support 4k @ 120Hz. It also has VRR support to reduce screen tearing, which the C8 doesn't have.

The Sony A90J OLED and the LG CX OLED perform very similarly overall. Like all OLEDs, the perfect blacks and near-instantaneous response times on both deliver exceptional picture quality and performance. The biggest differences are in design and features. The Sony feels a little bit more premium overall, but the LG comes four HDMI 2.1 ports, as opposed to the two on the Sony. All in all, they're both amazing TVs.

The LG G1 OLED and the LG CX OLED are two excellent TVs. They each have an OLED panel with a near-infinite contrast ratio and similar gaming features. The main difference is that the G1 has the new evo OLED panel, allowing small highlights to get brighter in HDR, but the CX still gets brighter in SDR. The GX has a unique design meant to sit flush against the wall with the dedicated wall-mount, while the CX comes with a stand. Other than that, there's very little difference between each TV, and they each deliver exceptional picture quality.

The LG GX OLED and the Samsung QN90A QLED are both excellent TVs, but they use different panel types. The LG uses an OLED panel that can turn individual pixels off, resulting in perfect black levels. It also has wider viewing angles and a near-instantaneous response time. However, the Samsung uses an LCD panel with Mini LED as backlighting, so it's much brighter, allowing it to make highlights pop in HDR. They both have a 120Hz panel with HDMI 2.1 support for gaming, but the Samsung has one HDMI 2.1 input, while the LG has four.

The LG CX OLED is a better TV for most uses than the Samsung Q90T QLED, though the Q90Tstill performs excellent overall.

It also has much better gray uniformity and has a wider color gamut with more accurate colors out-of-the-box. On the other hand, the Samsung can get quite a bit brighter and has lower input lag. The Samsung also doesn't run the risk of permanent image retention or burn-in, like the OLED panel on the LG does. This likely won't be an issue for most OLED owners who watch normal, varied content, but can be a concern if you watch a ton of static images.

The LG CX OLED is slightly better than the LG BX OLED. The CX gets brighter, handles gradients better, and comes with a sturdier, metal stand. However, the BX has slightly wider viewing angles, but this may vary between units. 

The LG B1 OLED and the LG CX OLED are two similar TVs. Picture quality is nearly the same on both because they each have a near-infinite contrast, but the CX gets a bit brighter. The CX's VRR can drop below 40Hz, which the B1 can't do because it lacks low frame rate compensation. Because the B1 is a 2021 model and the CX is 2020, the B1 has an updated version of the LG webOS that features a full home page with apps instead of a banner, and it comes with a redesigned remote, but it has the same functionality as the old remote anyways.

The LG CX OLED is a bit better than the LG B9 OLED. The CX can get brighter in HDR, it has much better out-of-the-box color accuracy, and its BFI features works at 120Hz. The B9 has slightly wider viewing angles and the gray uniformity is better, but this could be due to panel variances. 

The LG CX OLED and the LG QNED90 use different panel technologies, each with strengths and weaknesses. The CX's OLED panel has a nearly infinite contrast ratio and no blooming in dark scenes, without the need for a local dimming feature, so it's a much better choice if you're in a completely dark room. The QNED90, on the other hand, uses an LED backlight, and it's much brighter, so it might be a better choice for a bright room.

The Sony X90J and the LG CX OLED are very different TVs. The Sony uses a VA panel, while the LG uses OLED, so even though they're both well-suited for dark rooms, the LG can display deeper blacks because it can turn off individual pixels. If you tend to watch TV in a well-lit room, the Sony is a better choice because it gets a lot brighter to combat glare. That said, the LG has significantly better reflection handling. It also has wider viewing angles so that the image doesn't look washed out when viewed from the side. The LG has faster response times, but it also stutters more in low frame rate content like movies. It has more HDMI 2.1 ports, and it supports FreeSync VRR.

The LG CX OLED is much better than the Samsung QN800A 8k QLED, but they have different panel types.
