LG C9 and Sony A9 OLED TV which one is better? In order to enjoy a movie theater-like audio-visual experience at home, considering the current development of the TV market high-end OLED TVs such as LG C9 and Sony A9 with better picture quality and more plasticity are undoubtedly the best choice. For this reason, I want to buy a TV that can support high playback within the 3W price range. Picture-quality video, and an OLED TV that can smoothly host console games.

Why choose an OLED TV?

Compared with the traditional TV, there are many flaws. For example, under the backlight, light leakage cannot be avoided, resulting in impure colors. OLED TVs do not have these problems, but also have multiple advantages: such as the characteristics of self-illumination, the elimination of the backlight, each pixel can independently emit light and control light after power-on, and the performance of various colors is more true and full. In addition, the response speed of OLED is also far faster than that of traditional LCD TVs, especially when expressing fast motion pictures, it can be very smooth and clear, plus the chroma viewing angle and horizontal and vertical contrast viewing angles are very good, basically can maintain and the degree of restoration is higher.

After some selection, I wandered between LG OLED65C9PCA (hereinafter referred to as LG C9) and Sony KD-65A9G (hereinafter referred to as Sony A9). After all, LG and Sony are the best in OLED TVs. As their flagship products, the two TVs have good overall quality, so how to choose between LG C9 and Sony A9 OLED TV? In order to more fully understand the difference between these two products, I did a comparative test on them, to see who these two top-level OLED TVs and the actual experience better meet my needs.

As the OLED TV, the appearance of the LG C9 and Sony A9 are relatively regular. Their design language is similar in principle. Both LG C9 and Sony A9 OLED are 65-inch large-screen TVs, which are excellent in screen ratio. . Both are ultra-thin bodies, but the LG C9 is slightly better in narrow bezels and thickness. The panel thickness is only 4.96mm, while the narrowest part of the A9G screen is about 6mm.

The biggest difference between the two is the design of the base. The LG C9 uses a rectangular metal base with smooth lines, simple and elegant. However, in addition to supporting the model, the base also plays a role of sound guidance, which is quite special. The Sony A9 adopts the design of an oval flat plane base, which looks wide, the height of the base is basically the same as that of the screen, which will be a little inconvenient in handling. From the appearance point of view only, the two are not much different, and can be said to be equally divided.

One of the most attractive factors of LG C9 is its price.
In additon, LG has its own OLED panel.
Sony and LG are the best brands in the TV industry, whichever you choose, mainly depends on the wallet.

For OLED TVs, i still vote for Sony. In addition to the OLED display itself, the signal and sound processing also matter. Sony did better in these fields.
However, the OLED panel Sony uses are produced by LG.

I think a large screen that could play game smoothly and clearly is very important. Although I am not addicted to games, it's a good way to relax by playing games. The next-gen game console is coming soon, I want to try on.
