LG G4 77" vs Sony A95K 65" (QD-OLED)
The Verdict
LG's 77-inch G4 offers substantially larger real estate with superior peak brightness (2100 nits vs 1500 nits), making it exceptional for bright rooms and HDR content. Its OLED evo MLA technology with Filmmaker Mode delivers excellent color accuracy, while the α11 processor handles upscaling impressively. Sony's 65-inch A95K features premium QD-OLED panel technology with superior color purity and wider viewing angles, plus more responsive gaming (1ms vs unspecified lag) and innovative Acoustic Surface Audio actuators for immersive sound. However, it's dimmer overall and Wi-Fi 5 feels dated. At $3,299 for 77 inches versus $3,499 for 65 inches, LG provides better value and practicality for most living rooms. Sony excels for smaller spaces demanding absolute color perfection. Choose LG G4 for versatility and size advantage; pick Sony A95K if you prioritize premium color science and gaming responsiveness in a compact footprint.
