LG G4 77" vs Sony A80L 65" (OLED)

The Verdict

LG's 77-inch G4 delivers flagship performance at a premium price, while Sony's 65-inch A80L offers excellent value at nearly $1,300 less. The G4 dominates with superior brightness (2,100 nits vs 1,000 nits), allowing better performance in bright rooms and superior HDR pop with Dolby Vision IQ support. Its Micro Lens Array technology, 1ms input lag, and more powerful 60W audio system (versus Sony's 50W) make it the stronger all-around performer. However, the size difference matters significantly: you're getting roughly 18% more screen real estate with the G4. Sony's A80L counters with excellent Acoustic Surface Audio technology that distributes sound across the screen, nearly identical gaming specs (8ms vs 1ms input lag is negligible for most players), and Google TV's superior app ecosystem. The A80L's slimmer bezel design (2.1 inches) creates a more elegant appearance, though both feature premium OLED panels with perfect blacks. For a 77-inch screen at this price point, the G4 represents LG's confidence in the technology, but if you prefer smaller screens or have budget constraints, the A80L delivers flagship picture quality without the premium size markup. Choose the G4 for maximum immersion and brightness-handling; select the A80L for refined picture quality and better value.
