    Taking the CX back again, i move it, it makes pop sound n poor, its blurry. Poor build on the 65 at least, to small backing support n its flimsy, maybe ill get the WallMount version on the CX or this sony but im nottttt getting another LCD ever lol ive got an X900H n it looks so bad now lol



  3. Dane Silchenstedt on July 29, 2021 at 9:25 pm

    The A8H is on sale! I have been researching TVs and havenā€™t considered it because of the lack of advanced gaming features. Now this priceā€¦..I am tempted to buy it. What do you think? $1500

    Update: I bought it. Hope I made a good decision. I hate spending money.



  4. Jacob Marley on July 29, 2021 at 9:26 pm

    If you game, CX. If you don’t game, Sony. Sony just blows LG out of the water in terms of quality and processing. They might look close in the review here but LG you’re more likely to encounter defective panels on the CX based on what I have seen. Obviously go with the best price more than $100 diff not worth it.



  5. RB26DETT on July 29, 2021 at 9:30 pm

    LG CX ftw! Iā€™ve had mine since last year, right before I got my PS5 and havenā€™t looked back since.



  6. M Viv on July 29, 2021 at 9:32 pm

    A8h 65 is 3100 usd here



  7. Vang Chong on July 29, 2021 at 9:33 pm

    The Sony A8H is the best TV for both Picture and sound quality, according to many experts.



  8. Marinko Agić on July 29, 2021 at 9:33 pm

    Sony way better with sound and picture!
    I dont care for Game



  9. B Neil on July 29, 2021 at 9:36 pm

    The HDMI 2.1 and superior gaming compatibility did it for me. The barely noticeable differences in PQ will be irrelevant over the long haul. Proud new owner of an LGCX 65ā€, Was $500 cheaper than the A8H



  10. MM 754 on July 29, 2021 at 9:38 pm

    Any idea which one is more reliable? I’m switching from a projector to TV in a few weeks. All my info about TVs are outdated. Is Sony still the most reliable TV brand? It seems it’s $200 more expensive than the LG on Amazon right now.



  11. Andrew Walker on July 29, 2021 at 9:39 pm

    I have the Sony. Love it!



  12. andrademeza on July 29, 2021 at 9:40 pm

    Sony it is. I game on my monitor.



  13. Namita Shahi on July 29, 2021 at 9:43 pm

    can someone recommend the best picture settings for this tv….it was stated that cinema would be the best in this video however i think in another one he set it to custom which is what professionals recommend or something



  14. Ref on July 29, 2021 at 9:44 pm

    If the Lg cx was built for gaming then that is my tv thaks for the good analysis.



  15. Abdul mishel on July 29, 2021 at 9:45 pm

    Iā€™ve just bought Sony Bravia 55ā€A8H yesterday..which cost 3100$..Iā€™m satisfied and my opinion is a8h is better than LG



  16. Adi on July 29, 2021 at 9:46 pm

    The only diference is moreeeee expensive Sony.šŸ¤£ and buy screens from LG. šŸ„“šŸ„“



  17. Quentin Woodard on July 29, 2021 at 9:46 pm

    can i use this TV has A center channel? With a 5.1 system?



  18. Douglas B. on July 29, 2021 at 9:46 pm

    Went for the Sony as I do not game in the living room. It’s got an amazing picture but even more impressive is the sound!!

  19. hU007am on July 29, 2021 at 9:47 pm

    Can Sony A8H play 120hz??



  20. rui kosta on July 29, 2021 at 9:48 pm

    Is the CX the same as the GX ?



  21. Marinko Agić on July 29, 2021 at 9:48 pm

    Better picture,better contrast,better UI,better audio experience on Sony,and the LG is winner??? WTF?



  22. Steve Coates on July 29, 2021 at 9:49 pm

    A90J vs CX next please…



  23. Nicholas Nicou on July 29, 2021 at 9:49 pm

    Excellent video and as informative as always.



  24. quietstormNC on July 29, 2021 at 9:50 pm

    from my experience Sony makes the best picture quality of any TV.



  25. Robert Jimenez on July 29, 2021 at 9:55 pm

    Is the sony 65ā€Xra80j better than the LG c1 65ā€?



  26. BigRob on July 29, 2021 at 9:56 pm

    Can both of these TVs, get burnin?



  27. Ottoman Empire on July 29, 2021 at 9:56 pm

    sony.



  28. will Brown on July 29, 2021 at 9:57 pm

    The new consoles are just better on monitors. I wouldn’t want my oled used for gaming.



  29. Mark Worley on July 29, 2021 at 9:57 pm

    Would you please please do a comparison between the Sony x950h vs A8h… there’s not one person that’s done one. I see lots of people and reddit and other place… people asking about it but I myself am needing to buy a new 65 inch and I’m torn between the two. You are amazing thank you for all your effort love your channel!



  30. sghu11 on July 29, 2021 at 10:00 pm

    Tv is mainly about the picture and the sony really blows the lg away to bits. This whole video you has just been about disguising this aspect. The lg doesnt even deserve a comparison.



  31. FĆ©nix on July 29, 2021 at 10:03 pm

    Not only tv’s the new Sony Xperias phones have outstanding displays, I compared the Xperia XZ3 with the Galaxy Note 10 and the Galaxy Z Flip and The Xperia wins hands down.



  32. Mgoldenboyz on July 29, 2021 at 10:03 pm

    4K 120hz is kinda dumb because you ainā€™t getting no 120 fps in any game on high or even low settings in 4K. 60fps 4K is plenty, the Sony tv is also a good tv to use for single player games, I wouldnā€™t recommend it for FPS games or competitive games



  33. AIRGUN HUNTING on July 29, 2021 at 10:05 pm

    Sony Make Believe.
    Just bought Sony A8H 65".



  34. noomy 663 on July 29, 2021 at 10:06 pm

    Any defects can be either terminated or concealed by simply designed remotes.



  35. Steve Barry on July 29, 2021 at 10:06 pm

    I just picked up the Sony A8H 55 inch for $1200.00 . I know its the 2020 model year but for the price and quality it has to be a winner. What are your thoughts.



  36. Devon Petersen on July 29, 2021 at 10:07 pm

    Have both and the Sony a8h blows the lg picture quality when watching hdr movies it should be a no contest one tv is geared toward more gamers and one for cinema home theatre enthusiasts



  37. vstrolis on July 29, 2021 at 10:07 pm

    Last 30 years if you wanna buy BEST TV it’s SONY.



  38. Sudhanshu Pawar on July 29, 2021 at 10:11 pm

    Can someone tell me which ones is better?



  39. Techno How on July 29, 2021 at 10:11 pm

    Which is better Sony A8 or LG B1?



  40. Omar R on July 29, 2021 at 10:12 pm

    Ok LG is the one



  41. ģž„ģš°ģ˜ on July 29, 2021 at 10:13 pm

    Currently, LG has a 100% oled technology share
    So, All 19 manufacturers(SONY, SHARP, Panasonic, LOEWE, VIZIO…etc) around the world use Korean oled panels



  42. TheWinwin4all on July 29, 2021 at 10:14 pm

    Is this Sony worth extra $300 over LG CX?



  43. Amos Moledi on July 29, 2021 at 10:14 pm

    Why your video quality so bad? This is sad



  44. Steven Rodriguez on July 29, 2021 at 10:14 pm

    I have an A8F and the stand is much nicer. Itā€™s invisible from the front and sits the TV like directly on the surface itā€™s on with no gap between screen and surface. My CX 77ā€ has that beautiful aesthetically pleasing brushed stand but I cover it up with a soundbar unfortunately:-(



  45. C. Levi on July 29, 2021 at 10:15 pm

    Bought LG OLED CX. I was having doubts and thought why did I spent that much money for this TV? 2 hours later of using it. It’s Worth IT



  46. Larry Taylor on July 29, 2021 at 10:15 pm

    What ever company supports gamers will always win i dont get why these companies donā€™t get that



  47. Parth Trivedi on July 29, 2021 at 10:16 pm

    Youtube videos playing in background is by around the world in 4k channel, which is pretty awesome.



  48. arncht on July 29, 2021 at 10:16 pm

    i have bought the lg 65cx – it had terrible banding, which was visible on the games, dark movies. now i am thinking about the 65a8h or a bigger 75x900h. the vrr vibrating with an rtx2070 was vibrating sometimes, i did not like the webos after the nvidia shield. i was disappointed, and finally sent back.



  49. Fhvc Fbjhgg on July 29, 2021 at 10:17 pm

    Thanks for this great review. I haven’t used LG WEBOS. is it simple to add Apps like Kodi? ETc



  50. Siddharth Singh on July 29, 2021 at 10:19 pm

    I bought LG CX and didn’t regret about anything. It’s an awesome TV
