I own both. You could not be more wrong. OLED is better for EVERYTHING.
I have both as well...and the only couple of exceptions I will add is I do like LED better for sports and in circumstances where there is bright sunlight in the room

Wrong. Peak brightness is mediocre even on the best OLED TVS like this one. LED TVs are better suited for bright living rooms.
Actually they have made some great brightness strides with the new Sony A90J and the new LG G series with the evo panel

As far as the blanket statement about bright LED Tv's. Most of the LED TVs you see on slick deals cant really achieve the 1000 nits of brightness needed in an LCD for good HDR performance

Well I never said it wasn't better, I said whether it's worth the extra cost.
I have also compared them side by side and depending the quality of the display(LED) the quality of the content, where you are getting the content and the environment plays a big role here also.
All those things aligned maybe but pretty rare and overall IMO it's not a significant difference.
On top of that we won't have all these people complaining about burn in later also!

If you think you are getting the best performance from oled with compressed streaming compare it to disc using Panasonic's 820/420 which is one of the best players you can get IMO.
If you not using Apple TV 4K as your streaming device, you are also not getting the best streaming/digital content you can have IMO.
I have a Sony 950H which is considered one of the best LED's and a 2017 LG OLED...there is no comparison between the two. They are both excellent, but there is no LED comparison for the infinite black on an OLED. Brightness is not nearly as important as a lot of LED fanboys would make you believe.
OLED's are more than bright enough to display HDR and run in a bright room.
Those are just more BS myths put out there by LED manufacturers (and echoed by people who don't want to pay the OLED premium or can't afford it) to try to steer you away from a superior product.

I wonder if this is the reason I passed on the A9G 55" Master that was being offered yesterday for $1300 on BB ? I feel like that should've ust kept it at that price and blew threw that 2019 inventory. I think the only thing thats' preventing me from biting is the fact it doesn't have ATSC 3.0. It seems to perform somewhat better than the A80j (per rttings) on the picture end and brightness. I'm not a gamer so not worried about that area so much. Still on the fence.

LG has terrible customer service. I destroyed them on trust pilot. Been converting all appliances and electronics to Samsung.
I don't know about Sony.
I am on my personal little war with Samsung. Will not buy Samsung product unless have no other option. Unfortunately they >are< one of the majors on the market.

My new laptop's HDD failed after 3 months. Did not want to loose all info on it. Called CS and they told me I could swap it. I asked multiple times whether it would void the warranty. No, no and no was the answer. Swapped the HDD, but had no system. Samsung did not provide any recovery CD and wanted to charge for sending one. Eventually sent the laptop to service, which refused any repairs as the machine had been opened and the warranty voided...

Brightness is all LED manufacturers can crow about because OLED slays the best LED's in PQ all day every day.

The fact your last statement says if you're not using an apple TV as your streaming device says a lot of what you don't know.

I have to admit, 65 LG C1 I upgraded to is not as bright as vizio p65 f1 it replaces. Took a lot of tinkering to get even on that level of brightness. I'm now actually surprised how good Vizio LED was picture wise, as the difference wasn't too overwhelming.

Does this have wi fi - can you connect it to a wireless router in a different room?

I'm not a fan of Samsung TV's at all for alot of reasons. Objectively OLED picture is better than LED displays. you would have to ask yourself whether you'd be good with a smaller 65 inch over 75 inch. In most cases bigger is better, even if the PQ is better in the smaller one. I wouldn't get a cheap no name 75 and think its better than a 65 inch sony oled though laugh out loud
