SONY BEST
I ment 2 say u tube
Buy the Sony.
If you’re an older/married person and are just into Movies and TV’s series and love audio/video quality the SONY is more for you, But if you love all sorts of media and want something to use to play all your video games on also then the LG CX is more for you.
LG CX OLED = best tv in 2020.
Which one has the better video processor and by how much of a difference from a 1 to 10 scale?
Any lip sync issues with either?

Can help me understand something? I have been switching between LG and Samsung with the key advantage of the LG being 2.1 ports. The Samsung had VRR etc but was not accredited as 2.1.
Now we know LG 2.1 is now quite the full item and runs at 40gb (not 48). I know you can’t see the difference, and I know it’s all 4 ports on the LG where the Samsung is only 1 port.
My question is about the Samsung game port. I read it has all the functions I need for gaming but I can’t find anybody saying if it is the 18gb (2.0 standard) or the 40gb (LG almost 2.1 standard). Do you know? I’m thinking that 40gb is fine on a 4K TV but that only 18gb may be restrictive in years to come. For me if the LG and Samsung are truly equivalent on HDMI then the Samsung wins with anti-reflective coating and no screen burn risk.
As you can see I get deep into my research and as I plan the buy around black Friday I have time to drill into the details
Hope you are safe and well
I would love a Sony OLED but I would be constantly stressed about burn in and wouldn’t be able to enjoy the TV so I went with XH950. My dad has a LG C9 and it burned in from watching TV for a few hours a day (not a gamer) and looks a mess now.
God I can’t wait until the LG CX 48” hits my local Best Buy !!
I think overall the lg is the better tv for what u pay for. Sony is a tv picture company they are supposed to be elite n that regard nobody is going to top them in that thats their bread and butter hell most movies u see have the sony logo in the beginning lol lg isn’t a movie production company lg is toe to toe with them in pq and u add the gaming aspect which lg is king at along with its OS with being so snappy and consumer friendly. I always say if u want just pure pq and nun else sony is the go to but for overall LG is better to me. The fact that u always hear they "are so close" let’s me knw LG is not to b taking lightly. They are comparing basically sony Master series tech with LGs middle of the pack model and its neck and neck and "its so close" that speaks volumes in itself
Thank you for posting this video. Great Job!
Only sony A9H can replace my A9G
Nothing can beat Masterseries 🙂
Thank you brother as always
65A9H or 65CX ????? 🙉🙉🙈🙈
Wonderful video. Really looking forward to these series of videos. Will you be documenting the ways that you manage and try to mitigate burn in on your CX? I would find that very educational and beneficial as i consider an OLED later this year. Thank you for all that you do?
Great insight into these two great sets. I’ve just ordered the Sony A85 as disappointed with a Philips 804 and returning it. Thanks for sharing your knowledge buddy 👍🏻
This is a shocker, they both look basically identical. Like…all OLEDs. Still, these videos are always appreciated…and always well done 👍
I’m puzzled as to why there’s no 77" A8H.
🍔🍖🍗🥙🧆🍺🍪🍪☕️👍 Brian love your videos friend, I though I was the only one having problems naming the AH8!! You right about calibrated TVs!!! Once you calibrated your first tv!!! Is hard to look back.
Hey Brian. What do you think about a8h or a9g? Or lg cx? Which do you think is better in terms of streaming movies. As you know im about to buy a set. And since a8h is new you think this is better buy than the a9g? Thanks Brian!
Just wanted to share my feelings on the importance of expert calibration. Nov. of 2018 I purchased a 65" Sony a9f from Robert at V.E. and had the calibration done by John Reformato. The pq was (is) imo beyond compare. In January of this year Sony had a software update which I downloaded. Needless to say things were messed up with various issues as a result of the software update. In order to fix the bugs I tried a variety of things and one of which was to do a factory data reset. BIG MISTAKE!
I lost my expert custom calibration modes. After living with such an accurate pq for such a long time and that being my reference, and even though most would still describe the pq as stunning, it just looked off to me. Luckily I reached out to John and he was kind enough to make it to my place to re-calibrate the tv. Seeing him work his magic in person I gotta’ tell you John knows his s*%t! I was blown away by his thoroughness and attention to detail in wanting to get things just so. John doesn’t usually make house calls and I thanked him enough personally to almost the point of embarrassment. So I just wanted to thank him publicly as well. I finish by saying this … if you decide to buy a tv from Robert and Wendy over at Value Electronics the expert calibration from John Reformato is imho well worth it.
Brian, I regret to inform that the Q90R just didn’t cut it for me, I set it up last night just two days left within my return window and it just has to go back, motion handling was poor, it just didn’t look realistic at all, and had too much judder to the picture, there was far too much blooming into the letterbox bars for my liking. I’m a Sony guy, Brian, I just can’t make up my mind if I’m just better off making the leap to the A8H because of the way Sony handles motion so well as well as the remarkable upscaling from the X1 ultimate chip or if I’m better off degrading in a few areas to get a better overall display in the CX, specifically for the gaming aspects. What’s your take?
Sony was tad brighter then the LG but good video Brian.
An excellent walk-through video and hands-on look/take on the displays at Value Electronics! Thanks for keeping it real and sensible throughout the video – despite all pessimistic stats and specs doubters out there. The humbleness and respect towards folks in the industry is also nice to see and hear.
Question: how do you stay so focused/on-point and eloquent throughout the video without rambling or straying away too much? I mean I don’t see any cue cards of sorts hehe. Personally I would certainly be rambling or loosing the thread after 5-10 minutes of talking, but then again I’m not a Youtuber or Powerpoint presenter at all :D.
All in all – thumbs up!
If Sony A8H had HDMI 2.1 it would destroy C9 and CX.
I agree people should not say the CX is a bad TV just because of the implementation of its HDMI 2.1 and it’s slightly raised blacks. However the specification for HDMI 2.1 is 48GBPs and the C9 achieved this. This requirement has been put into place for a reason and the CX did not deliver and initially was not upfront about this So rightfully people should challenge LG on this topic. And equally people have spent thousands of pounds for Oleds black levels so these should also be exceptional on the CX. I agree with you on terms of people over hyping problems and wrongfully slating TV’s. However if manufacturers are going to make mistakes and be dishonest this needs to be challenged or this practice will continue and get worse.
Would definitely be curious to see a video on calibration
You might want to go look at the new 2020 LG Nano Cell 90 series before buying a OLED….

Since you are a Gamer…what did you make of the strangely higher Input Lag on the CX in VRR mode? According to rtings the normal Input Lag in Game Mode is about 14ms, but with VRR it jumps to 23ms. That’s still decent, but I wonder why it ia so much higher. The Samsung Q80T has just 1ms of difference between VRR off and on…so it seems strange that LG has such a large discrepancy…
I have a 65 LG CX and its bright af…especially dolby vison.
I know its not easy and takes time to do on uploads. But for these channels that do the TV reviews its really important to do your best at providing 4k content. Especially if you’re going to review 4k/8k tv’s! Its the least you can do. There are many tech reviewers on Youtube that don’t even review tv’s but take the time to record in high quality 4k.
Awesome stuff as always, Brian! Checked a bit of the video on Spare Change, ill watch more later. Love the calibration talk although it’s hard for me to wrap my head around it.
What about a C8 v A8H? Worth the upgrade?
Did you guys happen to measure input lag?
Do you think TV’s will come down in price with the pandemic? Or is now as good as it gets.
Great video buddy 👍
Hi I’m looking 4 a oled tv 55inch I’m going 2get mine around black friday, I’m not a gamer I’m in 2 watching movies u tune plus I want a tv that upscale too, Which tv should I go 4, THANK U
Hi love the video. I have a question I was hoping you could answer. Cost no factor, would you rather get an A8H or A9G? Stuck between the 2 (or maybe the CX?) in 65"
Was the Sony on the right? Love your channel !
Good stuff Brian. I often have a chuckle when I hear this is the best / this is the most accurate etc etc / yes on a graph and a chart they mayb accurate to the industry standards, but that doesn’t mean that’s what most folk will like / that’s why I nodded my head when you say you would like a shoot out uncalibrated. How many folk actually use cinema mode, never mind having their TV professionally calibrated???
The kudos of having the ‘best award winning tv`kinda goes out the window without calibration or at least using the most accurate pre set.
Anyways, just my tuppence worth in.
Me personally, I’d buy the biggest oled in my budget from lg/sony /Panasonic and dial the picture to my preference.(if I was allowed another TV without the obligatory divorce threat 🤣) keep up the good work mate / proud to see your channel growing the way it is, you deserve it fella.
A9G is continuing.
Would the a8h be an upgrade if I already have the A8g?
Great video my brother as always. Very informative. That being said. I know I may get flamed or hated on for saying this but I have no interest in OLED or any other tv for that matter this year. One is because of the time’s we are currently in and money is an issue. Two. The wife would kill me if I even thought of buying a new tv so you are lucky my brother to have a wife who wont kill you when you buy a new set LOL. Third. I am very happy with what I have even though my x900e is a 2017/2018 tv. But let me say this. When that time does come to when I have no choice but to buy a new Tv it will more then likely be OLED and the reasons are obvious and I wont even go into them. But again great video my brother and very informative as always.
Thanks for the video. I bought the 65” CX and love everything about it, except that the motion interpolation has a serious issue with translucent objects and partially obscured objects. I can’t watch anything below 60fps without interpolation, as to my eyes it’s a juddery mess (60fps is only just bearable, and the judder is still evident). However, obvious artefacts appear regularly with de-judder at any setting above 0, and all motion interpolation settings have the same issue. I’m now trying to return the CX for an A8H.
This was my first OLED and it reminded me of my old Panasonic Plasma that also wasn’t watchable for me without Intelligent Frame Creation active. Clearly it’s a personal issue, as most people seem to be okay with motion processing turned off.
How is calibration done? isn’t it just selecting the options that looks best to you personally?
New subscriber. Great video! Will you be reviewing the differences in video performance between the A8H and A9G? I’m mainly a DVD, BLU-RAY movie viewer. Thanks again for creating this video. On another note, thank you for your honesty of your rewiew. That makes a big difference for us consumers/viewers. One more thing, this will be my first 4K OLED purchase coming from a professional calibrated Panasonic TC-55VT50 Plasma that just died after 7 years back in Feb. 2020. I will be using the new Panasonic UB820 4k BD Player with my tv choice. I’ll be getting the 65" version. Be safe and be peaceful!
Sony 900h dropping June 5th on Amazon
I know many have moved onto this years TVs but anyone that lives in Canada and has a Costco membership the 75" Quantum P X is now on sale for $1599.99 Canadian dollar https://www.costco.com/vizio-75%22-class—px-series—4k-uhd-quantum-led-lcd-tv.product.100507880.html It’s crazy to think that 9 months ago this TV launched at $4800 CAD now you can get literally 3 of them for that price.
I’m excited to let you know I registered for the avpro academy course in Chicago. Class takes place Oct 15th and 16th. I’ll be getting my level 1 isf certification. Wish me luck. Your channel among others have really motivated me to pursue this. Thanks Brian for your content👍👊
I do like the lg web os
