I think the Sonyâs X1 processor is superior to LG IMO.

Once you get used to one or the other, I donât think you can make a bad choice as far as the screen is concerned. The interface in my opinion is what really separates them.

HmmmâŚmy bonus room (home to the big rig) is always too warm. I did not think about the reduced heat if/when I swap out the Panny Plasma.
This is another arrow of rationalization I can add to the âquiver of wantâ. One or two more arrows and I will just have to have that new TV!

Yes. LG makes the OLED screen for both LG and Sony. The differences are in the processing that LG and Sony put into their TVâs.

âŚand the interface, the difference is not subtle. Sonyâs implementation is superior. Having both a Sony and LG OLED Tv we prefer the Sonyâs image, stand alone sound, and its remote and the Google based interface.

I have an LG OLED, and a lesser Sony LED TV. Have heard good things about the Sony OLEDâs, but at the same time have no complaints about the LG interface and the jaw-dropping picture quality.

Itâs the quirky remote that we donât care for. It is hyper-active. Google TV is easier to use than the LG FW. Point being we supplemented the LG OLED with Roku. The interface is superior and the LG remote has been placed in a drawer out of sight and out of mind.
We seldom watch Tv and when we do it is Criterion Channel movies.
Having both brandsâ 65â OLED I recommend the Sony over the LG.

I have a 65 inch and I sit three feet from the screen.
Am I doing it wrong?

I am not a video person. I use the TV remote to turn a TV on and off and adjust volume, with an occasional source change.
Once the TV is set up, what does one use the remote and TV interface for regularly where the function of the remote and the OS makes a difference?

Switching between Netflix, Amazon prime, YouTube, streaming service (DIRECTV, youtubetv, HuluâŚ), etc⌠Modern TVs have the apps built in but theyâre not all good. For example, Samsung has a DIRECTV app built in, itâs not very good. Buggy and inconsistent. I bought streaming boxes directly from DIRECTV, works much better.

When looking for the best performance for TV I use the website called rtings.com they go hardcore on everything a display can do performance wise, app wise, and much more! They also review head phones but I think itâs more like headphones for smartphones more than audiophile headphones. They are the best for TVâs and when you are searching for the perfect display Iâd spend some time there first!

I use a TV for traditional purposes, i.e. broadcast TV (we still have that in the UK). I have little interest in films, if I want to watch a Bluray/UHD Iâll watch it on a 10â wide screen via a 4K Sony projector. The programme guide on my 2017 LG OLED is brilliant in that if I put the cursor (it has a remote that you wave around to get a cursor) over a programme I get a description of the programme. The Philips has an unusable programme guide which automatically uses half the screen whether you want it to or not.

I watch only broadcast TV, with a rare Blu-ray movie.
It sounds like the features of a new TV would be wasted on me.

Most of you wouldnât be happy at my house for TV time.
I âcut the cableâ, no cable, no cable indoctrination masquerading as news, no broadcast TV.
Just YouTube, Netflix, Amazon Prime and whatever else comes free on my $30 Amazon thingamajig.
The last time I turned on the TV (for myself), i watched James May cook. I find him amusing.
