LG vs. Sony 65” OLED

@soix 

My wife and I have a 10 year old Samsung TV, that’s starting to act wonky so we are in the market as well. I’m curious why Samsung isn’t on your list and why you’re looking to hardwire the Eithernet? Like you, we got rid of everything from Spectrum except the modem. Anyway we’ve been using WiFi to our Samsung and never thought about running a cable to it.  When we buy our new TV, should we plan to run an eithernet cable?

I watched a reviewer gushing about a Prosper eithernet Cable he just got.  I called Jeremy and he was as nice as he could be and I ordered a 7’ eithernet cable from him. I think I paid $105 or $115 for it plus about $12 shipping.  He built it and had it in the mail in just days. I haven’t had a chance yet to do any critical listening yet, but so far I’m happy. Oh and he gave me 10% off.

Sony has the latest NTSC over the air tuner if you choose to use an over the air antenna ... That is only of consequence if you have local HD/4K broadcasts in your area.

You probably mean it has an ATSC tuner. The NTSC analog standard has been dead in the US for more than a decade.

I have a 65" LG b5  and it's been great.  It has over 15,000 hours on it and still looks great.

My Dad has a 77" LG OLED , it's about 6 years old.  I was doing the FW on it recently and it has over 16,000 hours on it.   That's almost 8 hours a day for 6 years.   

I purchased the LG 65" OLED C6 for my son about 6 months ago and the picture is phenomenal.    It was the best picture in the store.  

I just retired my bedroom LG 43"    I put that at my girlfriend's place and replaced it with a 48" OLED  b5 and it is great.     

LGs are very reliable. I've had my LG LCD TV for at least 15 years and will get an LG EVO OLED when I replace it this year.

I have a 65" LG OLED and my partner has a Sony Bravia 65" OLED.  We mainly watch over-the-air TV in Australia plus silver disks up to 4K.  We don't use the internal speakers, but if we did Sony would win hands down.

I slightly prefer the picture quality of the Sony, but the biggest difference is the operating systems and remote controllers.  Here I again prefer the Sony,  When I switch the LG on, I have to point and search to find free-to-air in a very confusing screen mélange, which changes quite frequently with software updates.

We both use WiFi rather than hardwired Ethernet.  By the way, there is no comparison between the quality of streamed 4K and disk-based 4K.  Get the disks every time!

This is my second LG 65" OLED.  The first developed a vertical line after about 5 years.  After a bit of a hassle, LG offered a complete refund and I bought its replacement model for about half what the original cost me.  I later found out that LG had been through the mill with our Australian Consumer Law and just mentioning it worked wonders!

South Korean conglomerate LG has been the only manufacturer of OLED TV screens for around a decade.  Sony has ceded control of its home entertainment to Chinese TCL, which worries me more than somewhat.  How the mighty has fallen
