I really didn't. I assumed you had knowledge of more than 2 manufacturers that used the same panel.

Reading your post again though, it still looks like you draw a major difference between the only two availabile options on the market and seem to double down on that in your last post.

If that's the case, I'll just have to disagree with you. I have the LG at home and have seen the Sony in stores. There are much more similarities than differences. I haven't put a whole lot of hours on a Sony in house to confirm that there isn't a significant difference, but the mind-blowing difference between non-OLED and OLED isn't present on the store demos of these two.

The Sony certainly is more expensive, though. It seems to want people to think it's premium or that it's software is significantly better. But I don't want a behind-screen speaker, and I liked the LG smart software well enough. And I've never seen anything about the picture on a Sony that has blown me away (relative to it's LG cohort).

I Agree with you that Sony charges a premium over LG which is why I said LG wins out. It’s been a while since I have kept up with it, I have read a ton in the past when I was looking for a new tv and Vincent Teoh was where I learned the most of what anyone needs to know. He is a professional calibrater based in the U.K. that puts his findings on YouTube. He is a little quirky in his videos, but I find it entertaining. This is one that I hadn’t seen before that also explains some of the differences. LG C8 vs Sony A8F
