In this price range, any good reason to prefer this Sony led over Lg 65 oled?

Let me know if the G3 price shows up again, and I will buy another G3 for that price without any second thought

Only 480 dimming zones vs every pixel being able to be turned off on the oled

If direct sunlight hits you screen. No good for OLEDs. Otherwise some prefer the brighter mini LED presentation, GTV OS, not worrying about burn or it getting green blob in a few years, etc...

There is no reason to consider a QLED in these days. OLED tvs can be had for comparable and or cheaper price if you look

I wish people would stop spreading this, "OLED isn't good if there's sunlight" nonsense. It's always people just regurgitating what they've heard other people say, who have also had no hands-on experience with OLED. OLED TVs are plenty bright for bright rooms. My living room has tons of natural light, and direct light hits the TV, and my C2 is fine. OLEDs are still brighter than all the LED TVs that everyone has had for years before all these different types of displays started becoming popular. In fact, they're brighter than a lot of QLEDs. Regular LED TVs are typically no more than 350 nits, and a lot of QLEDs — maybe even most — are in the 700 range. Most OLEDs are 800 nits or more. Even the LG B series, which is in the 650 range, looks plenty good in a bright room. I would know, because I just set a couple of B4s up for a friend, in bright rooms with direct sunlight. You don't need a 1,000 nit TV for sun.

Also, burn-in is not something to worry about anymore. That's more regurgitated and outdated nonsense. It hasn't been a common issue in 5 or 6 years. It can still happen, because every product in existence has bad units, but it's a small percentage. It basically only happens if you get a bad panel, or you absolutely torture test the TV. They've done tests where they've left OLED TVs on for an entire year, and didn't get burn-in.

Well said. I've got a C2 and C3 and had absolutely zero issues with either one in terms of burn-in or anything else. Literally, the only complaint I can come up with is that my remote for either TV will power both on. I've got them both in my bedroom...TV on the C2, gaming on the C3 so they are close enough that the remote powers both on. The trick to get around is that to power on by pressing a button on remote rather than the power button on remote and/or use the LG ThinQ app. Both have been great and put every TV I've owned prior to shame. I gave my older QLED to my brother to use...it was mid to high end when I bought it but can't stand the way the blacks ruin the picture after getting used to OLED.

Direct sunlight through a window or skylight hitting the screen and causing burn like darker spots is still an issue, and is rarely discussed. Compensation cycle 'fixes' it usually but it is essentially prematurely aging the panel. Lots of info on the issue out there if you search. So prob not the best choice if that describes your TV location (it does mine). This has nothing to do with people saying OLEDS aren't bright enough. I agree they are plenty bright now for most applications, IMO, but I also know that some prefer mini LED for their bright livingrooms and that is fine by me.

As for burn, green blob, etc., yes probably a lesser issue for most at this point (for years at least) but some like to keep their TV on all day to a 'news' channel with static logo, or with CC on, so for those people prob not the best choice as that treatment will prob lead to IR or burn at some point. Yes I know I will get bombarded by the I use an OLED for a computer monitor for the super long time of two years and have never had an issue crowd. That's great for those folks and not trying to pick a fight here. However I would not personally use or recommend using an OLED to watch news/finance for 12 hours a day, or for security cameras, etc... Get a LCD for that type of usage/torture, IMO.

Otherwise, other than those two caveats, prob a fine choice but not necessarily the best choice for every application. Add outdoor use to the buy a LCD category too while we are at it.

I wanted to tell you I have been running my Lenovo p11 pro gen 2 for a couple of years and no burn in or anything. I use this tablet day and night 7 days a week. I play high graphics games like mobile legends and haven't seen a hint of display issues.

That's great. How long is anyone likely to be using a device like that though? 5 years or so? I have plasma TV's that are 11 and 13 years old that are fine and look great. My parents have one that is 17 lol. Not sure anyone is going to argue an OLED will give you anything like that. Certainly not the older models. They are great though with the caveats I stated.

To be fair, nothing is likely to last that long these days and if you are looking for a nice TV for 6-8 years you are probably fine with them if you keep them out of the sun beams and don't park them on the same 'news' channel all day long every day in blaze mode for background noise like a lot of people do. Or do those things but expect that it may lead to shortened life span. No skin off my back but I wouldn't advise people to use them like that.
