LG CX is an excellent gaming tv because of low latency and 4 Hdmi 2.1 ports. So essentially you have current and future proof technology covered. The con in my opinion and experience is the image looks a little soft (less detail) and the blacks are heavily crushed (almost too dark for my taste).
So while the LG has fantastic gaming features you need to personally decide if you like the image quality.
Samsung Q90t has 4 Hdmi ports, but only one of them is 2.1. Main advantage of the Q90t is very bright and no worries if gaming during the day or an open area with windows/light. I actually like the Q90t because of this.
The main downside in my opinion is the Q90t has colors that aren't accurate (too green), a lot of noise in the image and suffers from blooming and dirty screen effect.
The Sony A8H is phenomenal, it's honestly to my eyes the most beautiful picture I have ever seen in any television. Further more the processor does the best with upscaling any image. This tv does not have the "Master" tag Sony uses, but it basically is a Master set.
What this means, it's basically calibrated to perfection right out of the box. On top of that it supports Dolby Vision so if you watch Netflix you're going to be amazed at the picture quality.
Now the downside is no HDMI 2.1 (no variable frame rate mode or 4K 120fps). Not so much an issue as very few games on PS5/Series X will ever be 4K 100fps as the target will be 4K 30 or 60 which Hdmi 2.0 supports.
Oled TVs don't really perform to perfection in bright rooms, since they don't get that bright like the Samsung Qled it's hard to fight off the sun and glare from windows.
You definitely want to close the blinds/windows or like me have a gaming/movie area where you have blackout curtains and no tv not even a Qled can even come close to the beauty of an OLED.
Q90t at $1599 is a very good buy, I encourage anyone though to PLEASE go to a big box store and look at these TVs in person and spend time and ask several questions.
Play YouTube videos , Netflix if possible and judge as best as you can. I was 99% going to buy the Q90t, but the picture quality I seen from the Sony A8H is like opening my eyes with perfect clear vision. That tv too me is simply phenomenal.
So much so I'm willing to trade off some features because of it.....
Yeah always gonna be trade off.
OLED hasn't impressed me tbh compared to my QLED since after calibration they look pretty much identical unless you put them next to each other in pitch black room.
And any light OLED just starts looking worse with glossy screen reflection kill any advantage of pure blacks and watching HDR just doesn't have as much impact as the QLED.
Especially if you watching lots of cartoons or animated stuff with bright colors QLED just has way more pop in HDR in games and animated movies. Below is main reason why:
"The color volume is decent. The TV has difficulty displaying bright saturated colors, as the use of the white subpixel to boost brightness desaturates the pure colors at high brightness levels."
And latest QLED actually get pretty good blacks with 7000:1 contrast ratio that look as black as OLED unless u sit in dark room for at least 10 minutes to let your eyes become sensitive to dark then you'll notice difference. Not to mention most OLED crush blacks unless you calibrate them yourself so losing out details compared to most LED TV.
But yeah if you don't have calibration device or don't plan on calibrating TV then OLED probably better for you since most pretty color accurate OOB.
Otherwise, like I said don't feel the bit of more contrast and perfect blacks worth it when you have to worry about burn-in or at least know your TV slowly wearing out unlike a LED TV.
Also can't really go into store to compare since you really don't know what sort of setting they using and not calibrated so not fair comparsion.
Anyways, this guy installs an reviews a ton of both and agree with what he says:
OLED
pros:
perfect contrast
accurate colors
cons:
lack brightness
black crush
potential burn-in
QLED
pros:
great brightness
more vivid vibrant color and tones
cons:
varying contrast
blooming

I own a Qled from Samsung and a Hisense H9G. There's simply no comparison to image quality vs an Oled. You can think what you want, I have nothing in this race and only stating the truth.
I watched that gentleman's video and his final review on the Q90t was not good. Main problem is dirty screen effect and it's very bad.
Doesn't matter the settings used in store, it's impossible to remove it from the screen. Rtings and every single reviewer has mentioned panel uniformity and dirty screen effect on the Samsung 2020 Qled lineup. It's bad, real bad and once you noticed it there's no way to un see it.
Oleds have infinite contrast, they don't need such a high nit brightness in order to differentiate between brightness/darkness.
As stated I own a Qled, game on it daily and watch movies. Love it, great tv. Image quality though I'm realistic , there's simply no comparison.
No Led Tv can match the quality of an Oled, the technology is just not possible. Also I like my Q6FN much better than Hisense H9G as well.
That's my final views on this, please people go to a bog box store and judge with your own eyes/
I was pretty set on an LG OLED for quite a while but was a little concerned with burn in due to having young kids and worry about them leaving the TV when not using it. I decided on the Q90T instead and I've had the TV for 2 days now. This is a great deal for this TV. The OS is responsive and smooth. The picture is unbelievable. The TV just works well.

That's just it your own biased truth!
Even Vincent of HDTestTV that everyone accused of being an LG fanboy got a ton of hate for this video basically saying OLED need to do better and LCD TV already beat it when it comes to HDR like I been saying!
Fact: Your OLED TV is Not Bright Enough for HDR. Here's Why. https://youtu.be/XPzM3NDGuSc?t=356
I never said anything about panel uniformity and dirty screen effect
I actually just got Samsung S7+ OLED screen and uniformity is impressive along with contrast but HDR on it leave much to be desired
Looks like the new Sony OLED coming out might actually be decent for HDR and probably why there are so many discounts on all the current OLED TV's since it gets much brighter!

On white screens, clouds, corners, etc. Do you have dirty screen? I would check as it's a panel lottery?

I'm in the same boat as you. My youngest cracked the screen on my JS8500 Samsung and now I need a replacement. I was thinking OLED until I saw all the user posts about burn in and LG having to replace their screens. I have two small kids who play PS4 and always leave the tv on so OLED is out for me. I'm happy to see you like the TV. I'm going to check it out at the store first before I order one.

U do realize sony uses lg panels, also my thoughts are also with @life4eva, u simply cant compare a lcd with an OLED, as he said go to the store and see it with ur own two eyes, the fact that an oled can turn off pixels completely is a game changing technology.
Thats not saying that this qled tv is not great, it one of the best lcd tvs but oled is still oled.
I would also say ur preference might depend on which operating system u like better, webos or tizen.

🤷 ♂️ What are you even talking about.......
I don't own an Oled , I own 2 Samsung Qleds in my home + a Hisense H9G. My 3 posts or whatever in this thread was because I was going to upgrade to the Q90t and suggested everyone to go see the tv themselves......
The only bias here is your refusal to even accept anything different that might be better, seems like a personal problem on your behalf.......
A8H looks much better than and Led tv, the A90J looks better than the A8H because it's literally blinding bright. It's very expensive though as the 65" is $4k.......
As stated though no need to go back and forth with anyone here or watch any videos, go to the store and judge with your own eyes
As stated $1599 is a great price and probably the lowest for a tv in this range so that's something to definitely consider
On white screens, clouds, corners, etc. Do you have dirty screen? I would check as it's a panel lottery?
I havent seen any evidence of the dirty screen effect at all. I did a ton of research on tvs before deciding on this one, and I absolutely love this TV. I also upgraded from a 46" Sony that was 13 years old. So pretty much any newer TV would look better than what I had before but I also wanted something that was more so future proof as I don't want to have to upgrade again for a while.
I'm in the same boat as you. My youngest cracked the screen on my JS8500 Samsung and now I need a replacement. I was thinking OLED until I saw all the user posts about burn in and LG having to replace their screens. I have two small kids who play PS4 and always leave the tv on so OLED is out for me. I'm happy to see you like the TV. I'm going to check it out at the store first before I order one.
Understandable that you want to see it in person before ordering it. I don't have a store within 2 hours of me that has one on display so I just went for it. No regerts.
I was debating this TV versus the LG CX OLED. This was around $300-$400 cheaper but the OLED won out. This picture quality I said "it looks nice" but the OLED picture quality made me say "Wow!" If they can make OLED without burn in and a bit brighter, that would be the perfect TV.
Do you guys think this model will go down to $1500? Neo QLED rolling out now 2021.
Yeah AAFES had it a month ago for 1499, but it's a crap shoot if you actually receive it or not. My order was canceled while others reported receiving it weeks later.
Blanket statements like this are dumb. I'm in the market for a tv for my family room where wife and kids use it. Don't need one currently for theater room.

This level of Samsung competes against the OLED.
