if you are stickler about tone mapping and picture processing of low quality content, Sony is like no other
However , the gap is close these days and I would be hard pressed to pay a big premium over the current LG G5

I would never choose those TVs based on the lack of GoogleTV alone.
Does GoogleTV have its own problems, of course, but app development and support for GoogleTV far outstrips any other TV built in operating system.
Could you use an external streaming device? Sure, but then you're spending extra for extra hassle and less integration.
Since I got Android/GoogleTVs, I stopped using my two Nvidia Shield TVs and Apple TV devices on my TVs, there's absolutely no benefit, and I like just having it all integrated with one remote and no input switching, extra HDMI and power cable hassles.
I have multiple 6+ year old Android TVs still going strong, still getting updates, still support all the same apps as when I got them, whereas my Samsung TV keeps getting stripped of apps one by one over the years because the app developers don't want to keep updating them, so they get REMOVED from the TV.

There is no match for Sony's cinematic picture - better than intended by the director in some cases.
Else the LG's are closer than ever like u said.
Pass for me.

Apple TV 4K is your friend
Pass for me.
As I stated before...if you are sticker for a picture " like the director intended" or want to watch lower quality content and have the TV do its magic with the processing, then this is the TV for you
However..if you are not a stickler for those things and you like a brighter picture then there are better options
