Our Verdict

Sony A95L OLED

LG G3 OLED

The Sony A95L OLED is slightly better than the LG G3 OLED. The Sony has much better image processing, resulting in smoother gradients in HDR and better upscaling. The Sony also delivers much better color volume, as colors are brighter and more vibrant. The LG is a bit more versatile, especially for gamers, as it has four high-bandwidth HDMI 2.1 ports, whereas the Sony only has two.

    LOL….yes, well you did it. You rated the LG “magic remote” higher than the excellent, well thought-out Sony remote. The LG remote continues to be the same stinker that people universally pan. Numbers? NUMBERS? Who uses numbers on their LG remote? Meanwhile, Sony has backlit AND touch-sensitive, without cluttering the face with worthless numbers. It is accurate as compared to the LG “pointer” which continues to amaze people. Oh, and Sony even integrated a “finder” mechanism! Wonderful. Love you Rtings in general + measurements, but ask a broader number of people about these two remotes, because I am confident that you will not get a “9.0” result from the “LG Magic remote.” Thanks !
