Sony's are WAY, WAY, WAY better at motion handling. Forget stats and 2.1. No LG 2021 model can compete with this TV. NONE. It's magic...yet alone this year's set.

LG C1 is only a good buy if you are a PC/Xbox Series X gamer - for anyone else (PS5/Switch/non gamers) or for those that value streaming > gaming, the A80J is the top mid-range OLED of 2021
A80J offers better picture quality (without professional calibration), sharper details, far superior upscaling of SDR content (cable TV / Nintendo Switch games), and much better motion processing.
LG C1 is vastly overhyped by shills all over the internet - dont fall for this common trap
Here is a proper review from people who have been comparing TVs for years:

The Sony A80J OLED and the LG C1 OLED are amazing TVs capable of turning pixels off individually to produce deep inky blacks with a near-infinite contrast ratio. You can't go wrong with either, but they do have some differences. The LG offers a bit more for gamers, with two more HDMI 2.1 ports than the Sony and VRR and ALLM support. The Sony is supposed to receive it in a future update. The Sony, however, has better out-of-the-box accuracy, although this can vary from unit to unit.

I clearly stated the the LG C1 was made for people who prioritize gaming over streaming content / watching cable TV.
Specifically gamers with PC/Series X who could take advantage of VRR, FreeSync, and G-Sync.
But for those with PS5, Nintendo Switch, or older gen consoles - the LG C1 will not provide any additional benefits than the A80J.
Multiple highly respected professional calibrators on AVSForums and on Youtube, the best being HDTVtest's Vincet Teoh, echo the same things I am saying:
LG C1 = better for gaming, worse upscaling (important for last gen/Switch/Cable TV viewers)
Sony A80J = worse for gaming (if you dont have a PS5/last gen), better color accuracy out of the box, better motion processing, sharper details.

Rtings is equivalent to Consumer Reports or Tom's Hardware - it's not meant to be taken as gospel
Their suggested custom settings for 2021 TVs are a joke compared to what calibrators are putting out there.
Professional calibration runs between $400-600+. Most, if not all, professional calibrators agree that the LG C1 can match the Sony A80J AFTER calibration but NOT out of the box.
Ill trust a professional calibrator and 100s of users, many of whom have both sets (one for PC gaming and one for streaming) before i trust Rtings lol

And the video review you linked is titled "OLED Twins" lol
Did you even watch that? "For most people, the differences are minor", says right in the video. Jesus man
