This is the first time we've ever done a comparison with 3 products, so please let us know what you think! Enjoy 😄

Just got the lg g4 77inch 2 weeks ago because of you and a few other YouTubers and I’ve been absolutely blown away every single time I turn it on and watch it play something, thank you.

As an A95L owner this is the comp I’ve been waiting to see. You guys are the first channel to legitimately do this comp among the 3. Pretty cool, wasn’t expecting this from RTINGS.

For watching movies, the A95L might still be king due to processing and color, but the LG4 is close enough that the price differential makes it a solid pick. LG4 is also available in larger sizes. Who knows what next year holds? Every year is a new year.

Awesome video. Your previous videos convinced me to get g4, it's coming next week!

[SlotHits]

DVD upscaling matters to me, thanks for covering that aspect of processing quality

I know everyone has million dollar sound systems- but the Sony sounds superior to these. For anything but games, the A95L is the crystal clear winner. She didn’t even touch in motion, which Sony also excels at. For gaming, it’s a more difficult choice if the matte coating isn’t a deciding factor. Qd-OLED is superior to the G4, but the G4 has better processing.. so what you watch on the tv may help make your choice, unless the coating does it for you. The Sony gets my pick.

The LG G4 is the "best of both worlds" and is the model I purchased. I upgraded from the LG B8 OLED (which is now my bedroom TV), and I could not be any happier with it! It's great at gaming (the best, tbh) and its fantastic for content. I use mine with an Apple TV 4K, Xbox Series X, and a Panasonic 4K Blu-Ray player with audio through a Sonos Arc and Sonos Sub (Gen 3). It's such a great setup!

Once you consider the price to performance ratio; the G4 is the best choice.

From the beginning you turned on the TV, it was very clear that the colour of the LG TV was better, I saw that from the cellphone screen the density of the LG screen was more perfect ❤❤

There are 3rd-party stands that work for the larger LG G4 models. I use a FITUEYES stand for an LG G4 83" and it seems perfectly stable.

I still watch these comparisons between these oled models to confirm my decision to finally get the 77” LG G4. I was also lucky I kept monitoring Best Buys price on my LG and the price dropped to $3999 which I did a price adjustment to get $500 back after their 4th of July sale.😅 I changed my mind 4x, lol. I initially bought the 77”Sony Bravia 9 micro led but coming from an old 50”Panasonic plasma screen I changed to oled for the deep blacks.

G4 best processing in details and 3dpop, s95d thanks to qd oled 3rd gen panel best colors, A95L best balance of both but not as the others in their category

[cunus]

It's great to see all three brands improve their technology from previous models. However, as a LG C1 owner I'm going to wait until next year to see what they come up with as there's still room for improvement in all of them. If I had to pick one though, I'd go for the LG G4 as it seems like the best overall.

[playmaka]

I love love LOVE your hyper nerd reviews. Nobody else does it like you.

[BeatelementhePiH]

I just bought the G4 and I'll make it quick for you:
Movies/Streaming: A95L > G4 > S95D
Gaming: S95D > G4 > A95L
As I'm doing 50/50 the right answer for me was G4.
I just bought the 77 inch G4 for >1.000 € less than the A95L and I love it. 😊

Forgot to mention that LG is the only with gsync, but it is the best review of the three that I have seen so far!

[RajaaDima]

Not a single word about the speakers of each TV!! 😮

[mchlhth]

Excellent video, very useful! I do have one question though that I'm hoping might turn into a comparison video somehow: Since you mention that Dolby Vision doesn't matter too much on TVs as bright as these OLEDs, can you objectively demonstrate that? I think the perception is that since Dolby Vision is the default HDR mastering technology for Blu-ray and a number of streaming services, you're missing something if you get a TV that doesn't support it. I can think of any number of variables that might need to be controlled, such as image processing by the TV (does DV even look the same on different TVs using the same panel?), but I think it would help to show how important (or not) DV is for a TV. Thanks!

[N.BR]

Thank you for this review! Putting together all the little things and explaining them really helps, specially since as customers we are going to spend ALOT of money when considering High End OLED tvs.
