That's my opinion after using both of them. The Sony's issues were more minor to me. Some people's continued defensiveness about that is why I made the remark about owner's bias. AFAIK, noone in here gushing about LG was ever accused of 'strange loyalty'.It came across that way to me too tbh. Downplaying issues the Sony has while blowing up any of the LGs quirks, and whenever anyone mentions any issue with an LG set you show up to say "and everybody acts like I'm craaaaazy for saying LG OLED isn't the best" and implying anyone who loves the LG just has owner's bias.
Just seems kinda weird.
Thanks for backing that up.So i have to tune in. I follow this thread daily and if he puhses one TV it's the xe9005 and not the oled, which is totally fine because its the best mid range tv this year and this is a gaming forum with members i believe are younger then say on a hifi board, which usually don't spend 3k on a TV. The LG is not perfect and if money is no concern I would also recommend the A1. Why? Better upscaling, smooth graduation, not running the risk (I don't remember any incident with Sony) to get an update which makes the tv worse. Could you please stop now.
Edit: To not let it out Android OS on Sony Tv's is sluggish and breaks down sometimes, LGs is much better. There are vids out there to make the Android a little bit better. And yes the Sony clips highlights because of tonemapping. Did I forgot something.
Maybe we just do a pro and con for every TV, to settle it for this year ^_~
And yeah, the sluggishness while playing HDR is why my main advice is to wait for 2018. That's what I'm doing after returning the C7 and X900E, after all.
Edit:
I was disappointed by the C7 exactly because everyone has been hyping them for years now. I was expecting a mind-blowing viewing experience, and it's, well, it's just a good TV (with a host of software issues too!). Maybe 2017 LCDs have closed the gap, maybe HDR has leveled the playing field. In any case, going from a (on loan) X900E to a C7 (which I bought and was hyped as fuck for) wasn't at all what I was expecting based on all the hype. So yeah, I'm pushing back against the praise a little bit.
