Here we go again...
I used to be in the electronic business ....
I'm not going down this path again. If you ever come across anyone that is or used to be in the electronic business.....please ask them what the industry thinks of Rtings.com and their TV rating system.
I frankly could not care any less about a TV's gaming capabilities because IDK I'm one of those weird people that uses TVs to watch TV shows/films and gaming a large monitor designed for the task.
Have you visually compared the X900F against the X900G, X900H or the X900J???
*The X900G is actually better than the X900F "BUT" Sony added the "X-Wide Angle" filter which improved the wide angle viewing and in the process degraded picture and brightness quality.
Yeah, I'll bet the industry hates rtings. laugh out loud

Yes, but Sony's XR processing is superior to LG's and that makes a huge difference in content especially upscaling
People need to stop propagating this myth.

I just got the 77" sony a week ago and if anything it looks worse than my 65" 2017 LG OLED because everything is larger and defects more noticeable

Upscaling only works when using the built in software; if you use a Roku, AppleTV, etc its already upscaled to 4K and the tv does nothing further. I've manually set my AppleTV to output 1080p and 720p for comparison sake (while playing 720p and 1080p content) and it actually looks better when I let the AppleTV do it.

I'm not disappointed enough to return it, but I definitely went for it based on this Sony is better shit being posted on slickdeals over and over. Worst of all, my Klipsch Fives are super buggy and disconnect frequently when using HDMI ARC with this tv -- a problem I did not have with my 2017. I had to switch to optical.

So please, unless you actually have these TVs, stop repeating the things other people who also don't own the TVs are posting. It's ridiculous and it's flat out wrong.

Obviously this goes for all TVs? lmao you're comparing a 77" to 65", every big screen will show more artifacts. Sony always wins in picture quality in all the comparisons i've seen. Of course, TVs can be subjective and people just need to see both in person before they make a decision. LG kept being advertised as being the end all be all for gaming but If you have an nintendo switch, the sony is better for upscaling.

Doesn't Sony use LG OLED panels?
LG is the only OLED panel manufacturer for TVs. But Sony beats them on electronics part of the TV. So you basically get LG's great OLED panel and Sony's best electronics. So, that makes Sony OLED TV > LG I think Smilie

replaced a c1 with this last year, picture looks way better than LG
Good to hear, because after dealing with LG customer service many times to get them to perform a repair they've already approved 10 months prior, I'm never going back.

Anyone tried wireless Samsung dex on this? I got a 43" Bravia TV that was supposed to be wireless dex capable on paper that didn't work.

Had this TV for almost half year now, amazing picture quality compared to C1 at my sisters place. This TV, despite the bright picture and vibrant colors, won't stress your eyes out like the LGs

Debating between this and C1…I have a PS5 but the TV would mostly be for steaming movies and 4K BluRays. Is the one that is supposedly better for content?
This Sony is better for movies and TV. LG is better for gaming. If gaming is only a small percentage of your usage, get the Sony.

I honestly don't think you could go wrong with either one. I got the 65" cx and I'm amazed by it. So is absolutely everyone who looks at the picture quality whether gaming, streaming, cable, etc etc. I do mostly streaming shows and movies and I really don't think I'd notice much of a difference btwn LG oled or Sony oled unless maybe they're side by side and I'm being extremely meticulous. And since you'll [likely] only have one mounted and watching then you won't know how the other would've been. Or even think about the tiniest of difference if any!
I got the Samsung 85" qn90a on sale ($2100) and am strongly considering returning/selling. The size is great but once you go oled it's hard to do anything else. But am also considering keeping bc oled 83" or 85" is easily another 2k+ more than what I paid for the Samsung (and what I paid for the Samsung was ~300 more than the 65" lg oled and I'm struggling with justifying it). Haven't tried the ps5 on it yet, it might stay on the oled, who knows.

Not sure whether to go with this (the price I've wanted) or wait til Costco hopefully puts it back at $1599 with the 5 year warranty. I screwed up not getting it this past week.
Longer you wait, surely price will lower.

Not really. This is just nostalgia of old Japan.

I got the 55 two weeks ago over the C1. It looks fantastic. Makes the X900F it replaced look like a low level tv. I'm not a big gamer but ps5 looks fantastic on it too. I'm gonna a buy a second if they drop under 999.
