Our Verdict
Sony X95L
LG C4 OLED
The LG C4 OLED is better than the Sony X95L, but they excel in different ways. The LG is an OLED, so it looks at its best in dark rooms due to its near-infinite contrast ratio with no blooming or lighting zone transitions. The Sony, however, is a high-end LED TV, so while it looks amazing in dark rooms, it looks far more vibrant than the OLED in bright rooms due to its superior brightness, especially in SDR and in HDR Game Mode. Still, the LG has other advantages inherent to OLED TVs: it has a much wider viewing angle, and it's amazing for gamers due to its nearly instantaneous response time, four 4k @ 144Hz HDMI 2.1 ports, and lower input lag. Ultimately, it comes down to whether you'll watch content in brighter or darker rooms.
