check them both out in person.


Yeh... will do that. Just hate looking at them at a place like Best Buy... bright arse lights in the store etc...

I mainly watch sports... football, baseball and soccer. Also watch a good bit of Netflix and Amazon prime stuff and occasional movies. Both TVs rate really well on all those... the edge in blacks apparently goes to OLED (b/c they literally turn off the black areas from what I read). And they are supposed to be close on sports with a slight edge to OLED again... just what I’ve read. My TVs are old... anything will be an upgrade on that end.

I have the LG OLED and also have the Sony XBRX900E. Both are great TVs and the OLED is fine in a bright room. Your wife isn't going to be watching 4k during the day anyway and you can always adjust the brightness depending on your room.

We have similar viewing habits, it sounds like, and I can tell you the Sony kills it on sports. In addition to football and baseball, I watch a ton of tennis, and my Sonys really shine in this arena - I mention tennis as it is obviously a sport subject to quite a bit of motion artifact.

I actually don't use the native "smart apps" for my streaming, I use a ROKU ultra and DirecTV for my sources. Haven't jumped on the Genie2 yet so no experience with DirecTV 4K content yet, but Ultra HD 4K on both VUDU and Netflix is superb on the Sony sets.
