Why this matters

Picture quality: Class-leading WOLED panels vs Best-in-class image processor.

Weaknesses to know: LG — OLEDs still trail Samsung/Sony peak brightness; Motion handling can feel aggressive out of the box. Sony — Premium pricing; Only 2× HDMI 2.1 on most models; Google TV can be sluggish.

Bottom line: pick LG if OLED matters most or if Feature-complete gaming (4× HDMI 2.1) matters. Pick Sony if QD-OLED matters most or if Cinema-accurate colour out of the box matters.
