Sony A80L vs Samsung S95C vs LG C3: Which is YOUR winner? 

I went with the Zenith 19" CRT with built in VHS support.

Here is my personal experience. I went to best buy to look at all three. Personally here is my opinion. I am personally a Samsung user, so I wanted to love the S90C. however. It was way too saturated and did feel or look real. also lack of dolby vision/ DTS audio was. deal breaker. LG C3 is great and feel like its a great deal . I then saw the Sony A80L and after seeing all three in person and hours of videos/research I decided on the Sony A80L. why, to me looked like the most natural image and motion look real. I have had the 77 inch A80L for 3 days now and super happy with the purchase. I paired it with the appleTv 4k and sonos dolbly atomos (arc, sub and rear speakers)

EXcellent review with real world comparisons. Nice work and editing.

I ended up with A80L for my quite bright bedroom, was afraid it will be too dark in bright room, but it performs well and im happy with my choice, before i was using samsung SUHD tv, and initially go for samsung, but when i compared the two, colours was too vivid and found some red/ pinkish hue on the pictures… so sony it is

I think S95C compares to G3 and A95L more than these ones. I purchased S95C for my office room. Hope to enjoy it soon :) Thank you for your effort

All 3 tv’s are great,my pick is S95C due to brightest oled and its a QD oled,i use Qled from KS8000 2016 and cant go any lower,best colors from QD panel,this review is good but i think you should put LG G3 and Sony A95L next to S95C,all the highest models😉✌️ great video,greetings from Scotland😁

Any issues btw the S95C and the Sonos audio system? I have a Samsung Q90T and Sonos Arc/Era 300/Sub and with Atmos via ATV4K and PS5 I experience a well known audio drop every 20 minutes or so. Would the same issue apply to Samsung S95C?

For me it's a comaprison between prices: LG C3 1550$ on sale vs rest at 2075$+ also on sale. I wouldn't pay 1/3 more for such slight difference and honestly LG C3 is the BEST in it's price class

I really liked the quote at the beginning, not heard it before 👍

Forget all those, get the 77” S89C for $1799, if you live in the USA. It’s a 2nd gen QD-OLED panel. Its the same tv as the 77” s90c but $500 cheaper

Hi thanks for the awesome video, can you please do a video where you can have the best settings for the lg c3 that will make it similar with Sony a 80 l pictures for all modes like watching RU-vid or Netflix or prime or Disney, as I am not happy with the picture quality with lg c3, I did try to calibrate it by watching few videos but not successful, also if you can show how to calibrate the external Roku stick 4K with Dolby as I don’t think I am getting anywhere near 4 k picture quality even though the content does say 4 k Dolby. I did try few settings but still no improvement. Please I am really looking forward to this. Thanks

got the c3 for gaming

Going with the Sony A80L today just in time for the Super Bowl. Puts out amazing sound on its own, but purchasing the Sony HTA3000 3.1 Ch Dolby soundbar along with the SA-SW3 200w Subwoofer as well.

Thanks for the comparison. Great review. But please reduce the background music volume when you are not talking. It gets annoyingly loud :D Beside that all is good ❤

Great video

Love your straight up videos man. This video would be perfect with the G3 aswell..how come you didnt include it bud? Please advise if the new oleds are bright enough? I perfer the brightness so S95C for me. Are the brighter oleds as bright as mini led in sdr?

Hello .. i take my external drive with me to the agent to check how it works .. because this is my main use of the tv.. ( most of what i watch which is old comedy is 720p and lower) .. because i tried lg tv and it was a bad experience in the quality of the video.. but when i insert the hard drive in the A80L it takes a very long time to open .. and i removed it before trying .. do you know what is the problem

Thanks for the video. I've got a Samsung KS7000 from 2016 - still a good TV but it's a 55" and I'd like to upgrade to a 65". Been trying to decide between the Sony and LG. I've got other Sony gear and prefer Google OS, so would prefer the A80L but I'm not sure about the brightness. For some reason when I see the A80L in the store it looks dim compared to the other TVs, but in video comparisons like this there's not a big difference. Maybe I'd be better going for the Sony X95L instead - yes, not OLED but still great.

Are the benefits of QD-OLED vs WRGB-OLED technology noticeable in SDR content? (TV channels for example)

Nice comparison. We are building a new entertainment center in the main living room. We already have a full theater in the basement. Don't game at all. Will add a soundbar. Will use for news, some sports, an occasional movie. Sounds like our choice is probably the C3

Sony A80L Especially for the price and since it’s been on sale

Got the S 95C at the end of 2023. And really am impressed by it. Didn't want to pay the Sony tax and wanted QD OLED. I also like to convenience of the Samsung One Connect box.

These are the tv's i'm currently looking at, so this has been extremely help yet confusing, as I was going towards the C3 but I like real life video of Sony and the bright vibrant colours of the samsung. Lol back to the drawing board.

Would be worth to mention G-link compatibility on the gaming section

Haven't seen a lot of reviews/comparisons which includes Philips 908 OLED TV. It's a great product and would be nice to have see some professional review of it here.

I bought this Samsung 77 s89c and OMG it looks absolutely PHENOMENAL! Highly recommend!

I would currently pay the same or even less for the LG G3 than the Sony a80l so is it better to get the LG G3 than the Sony a80L without thinking twice or not?

LG G3 or Sony A80L in 65" if they are close enough in pricing? Only to be used for OTT streaming & youtube. Need right balance of image and sound (without soundbar for now).

I tested the LG G3 and Sony A80L for a month. (Movies, shows, sports) I liked both but I did have to calibrate the settings on the G3 way more than the Sony. I love the natural colors on Sony and processor detail is just amazing. The brightness is enough for me. The G3 is much brighter and slightly better in picture quality than the Sony. I would honestly flip a coin and be happy with either one.

Hello .. i want an advise .. which one is the best to upscale the quality of the quality of the video ( i am using external hard drive to watch series + tv channels and sports channels which are usually not full hd ) most of them in 720p and lower .. i bought lg qned81 and it was a very bad experience.. thanks

For 55 inch, which is better, LG G2 or LG C3, mainly for TV shows, News and Movies on OTT

I bought lg g3 , Sony x93l and hisense u8k and my top after calibration for gaming is hisense u8k . This tv side by side with my LG g3 is better .

10:49 this is my main gripe with oiled. Can’t see anything in darker areas

im going for the g3

love the review, just one bit pick, that background music coming in too hot when you're about to end a section

I'm currently trying to decide what to buy. I would be using it for a bit of everything, PS5, RU-vid, movies, Netflix and other streaming service content, etc. I'm also partially colorblind, so i don't think color accuracy is a huge factor for me. Initially I was set on the S90C but ive read that the software is not thr best, and neither is the motion. Suggestions? 🤷🏿‍♂️

which TV would you pick between A80L and G3? as someone who values picture accuracy over Brightness.

Which would you choose - Sony 65A95L or the larger Sony 77A80L or LG77C3? Tv mainly for sports and streaming (Apple TV, Netflix). Picture quality and colour accurancy is most important to me. The distance from the sofa is 4 meters. I would be grateful for your help!

I bought the c3 and that's amazing TV

Will a Fire TV stick bypass the Sony XR processor?

I’m super confused between 77” S90C vs LG C3 vs A80L. Price not an issue. Which one would you pick if all 3 were identically priced? Please help!!!

Hopefully we will see a Panasonic MZ2000 compared to those also

It's the A80L all day long I brought the LG C3 and returned it it just didn't seem cinematic enough I then brought the A80L and it's so much more cinematic it's just a much better picture and all over a much better TV no to samsung no Dolby vision and sony up scaling of none 4K footage is amazing and the sound is superb however my living room isn't the brightest so the slightly less bright A80L doesn't matter to me I can't recommend the A80L enough

I'm surprised you're comparing tv's of different price points. Wouldn't the LG G3 be the right comparison with the S95C?

I just bought the C3 after carefully looking all 3 of these. I found the Samsung over bright and it had a "Pop video" vibe that made some content look un-natural. In the end I didn't feel the Sony was £500 more TV. I've had LG's for 10 years so that's what I went with. I am so impressed with it in situ - Dune was the first thing I watched and it was glorious! HDR in filmmaker mode is superb - content in Dolby Vision looks fantastic, really detailed and cohesive. One Piece leaps off the screen. I'm really happy with the purchase.

A75L vs c3 are at very similar price points right now. Sony can actually be had for a bit cheaper some days. Tough decision ahead for me. I'm going to try to hold out a bit until after c4 releases and see if I can catch a good sale price. Got them all qued up on a honey watch list lol

LG OLED evo C3 or Samsung OLED S90C better for Netflix, HBO Max on Apple TV?

I have the lg cx and will be buying the c3.

Ohhh and left a sub your channel✌️

Great video. I’ve always been a fan of the lg C models, but you’ve won me over to the s95c. Plus seems the best for wall mounting

What would someone smart say is the highest input lag tolerable for single-player [typically high res, realistic-looking] PS5 games?

Sony ht5000 soundbar, rear speakers and subwoofer integrate with the a80l seamlessly and use all speakers available to create the best 3d surround sound I’ve experienced so if sound quality is a big part then the a80l wins no contest (in my opinion)

Industry experts in a blind TV shootout had the S95C 2nd only behind the vastly overpriced A95L. S95C is fairing much better than the G3 in regards to the RTINGS longevity test too.

Lg c3 65” is under $1500. It’s amazing. Bright as hell and amazing picture and it’s OLED. Hands down C3 is the best bang for buck tv of 2024

Hi I am confusing Sony A80l 65inch OLED or Samsung S95c QD OLED 65inch which is the best tv please tell me

The S 95C is their top-of-the-line. Now you're comparing it to two lower in line from LG and Sony, not a fair comparison.

Just purchased a new in box $650 55” C3 for a bedroom. I can confirm that the Alpha 9 Gen 6 has finally caught up to the capabilities of the X1 Ultimate in my 4yo 65” A8H. What’s crazy is that the A8H still has brighter HDR peak highlights than the A80L.

Got the LG and I love it one of the best buying decisions I ever made worth every penny ps5 games look clean af

good choice .

I went with the LG. Coming from a Sony 65X950G that shot craps after 3 years, and a Samsung UNF9000 that went out just over a year, I decided to give the nod to my first OLED and LG. Also going with the 77" model is a size upgrade for me. I loved the Sony for color accuracy. The Samsung crapped out right after the warranty ran out so I said never again to them. I have other LG products and nothing but goodness so far from them. "Comparison is the thief of joy" is accurate with these tvs. I'm going for bang for buck this time.

With Samsung having my least favorite OS and my last Samsung stopped working after 2.5-3 years I've been going back and forth between the A80L and C3. It feels like splitting hairs but for me it's between the Sony features and google OS or the extra gaming features and 4 HDMI 2.1 ports. I'm not quite sure which to choose!

Excellent

Are there any oled "dumb" tv's? I never connect tv's to the internet and am still using 1080 and 720 tv's but would like to upgrade to 4k oled. I know I am in the minority but it would be great to be able to buy a decent oled 4k tv and not have to pay for things I will never use.

I want to love the Sony, but 680 nits for HDR is way below my LG E8 from 6 years ago!The Samsung S95C is a great tv, I’m not sure I can do without Dolby vision. The LG C3 not sufficiently compelling for me. My favourite outside the 3 is the Panasonic MZ2000 77 inches.

hello please bro tell me %100 oled G4 or C4 Burn in after along year?? when iam using for ps5 and Fillm or RU-vid ( my country doesn't support 5 years warranty for G4 (LG Malaysia🇲🇾) Idon't know what to do? ) my english not good for see your video to understand😘 and bro some people told me after 10000 hour burn in🤦‍♂️usually how many years panel alive without burn in in this new model oled☺️? seller don’t right talk with me 😅

Jason Momoa on Sony TV has a fever; on the Samsung TV it has Hepatitis and; on the LG TV it has low pressure. Maybe in A95L he will be healthy.

For 2024 model, S85D will compares to C4 and A80M if Sony will not release this year OLED.

Anybody in a mental hole regarding these tvs, this is my quick take on user experience... If you watch mainly ota tv, in app streaming and value colour accuracy and that Sony "black magic" (its real) then get a80l - it really isnt that "dim" its pretty much the same as C3 bar hdr highlights (about 200nits dimmer). Some shows in dolby vision are very dark, but learn your tvs settings and its fixable (just). If you value "gaming" over anything else particularly via Xbox or pc then go LG. If you ONLY watch high bit rate content, are on a budget and can afford a calibrater? then go Samsung. I returned an S90c because of its terrible upscaling and motion processing with tv and films. High bit rate hdr was stunning though. I nearly went LGs G3 but didnt like that green push plus i didn't need that apocalyptic brightness, so i decided given my main use (ota and streaming + ps5) got an a80l. An a95l would be my over all pick but not at its ridiculous price. Quality tv. Though acoustic surface isnt as good as the reviews make out. My living room is relatively dim, and light controlled so the a80l is absolutely fine. And the picture quality across all sources is absolutely stunning. Closest tv i found to rival that rich buttery feeling plasma gives you. Movies, tv and ps5 = Sony Gaming 'all' and movies = LG Fancy buying a new tv in two years = Samsung. Panasonic = same as Sony

I don't understand why you would make that music so much louder than everything else in the video.

lg for gaming and film... game optimezer best

As a landscape photographer I value the most accurate true to life picture quality. Having recently bought the Sony A95L 48" for my snug with PS5 and Sonos beam. The image and sound quality are out of this world. For me the Sony A80L or 84L will be the winner for my Kitchen Diner after the new Kitchen is fitted next month. The Dining room end has no window, but with Sony it will fit the wall mounted space perfectly connected to a Sony sound bar and PS5. Personally having viewed the Samsung in a TV store the colours were just over saturated. The LG well it is that remote. We have a C2 in the Lounge and the magic remote is a pain in the butt. A side by side comparison of the QD-OLED's would be nice. Or mini LED from the 3 brands. Hisense is the other manufacturer, but is really Sharp.

So the C3 compares to much more expensive TVs? Seems like a no brainer. A better test would have been the C3 vs the S90C, and the A80L vs S95C vs G3 as they are all similarly priced flagships.

Bought the Sony A80l excellent picture the wife noticed the upgrade. Had LG prior but they quit supporting the Web OS so the built in apps no longer functioned correctly welcome to bedroom status on Roku. Had A $3000.00 plus Samsung in the early 2000 went thru two screens one in warranty the next no longer covered that was the last Samsung as it left a very bad taste. I will no longer purchase Samsung even though the Costco guy was pushing hard. Sony superior screen performance even in a brightly lite room is not an issue no issue perfect picture.

77s89c is super king!!

I’m in between lg c3 and Samsung s90c

I opted for the Sony A80l.as my previous tv was a sony plasma that was well over 10 years old and still pretty good had to stay loyal after such god service. The A80L is amazing so far great picture quality easy to use and great sound plus was on a discount!

S95C costs as much as G3 not C3. A bit of a flowed comparison if you ask me.

If only samsung had dts support and google tv, it would be so easy to go with it...

65 C3 is 400£ cheaper than sony so i'm going for it

which one has more 3d pop effect?

Maybe it's just the video and/or camera, but the Samsung blows out the light/white areas from what I'm seeing. There are plenty shots in this video, where if you pause it, you can see some bright areas where the detail is completely lost and not there but you can see it on the other 2 TV's. Even the LG seems to have a similar issue but not nearly as much as the Samsung. The Sony seems to retain most of the details and have better control of the light areas. Or maybe it's just me, but that's what I'm seeing in this video.

Still see no reason to upgrade my LG CX

You need to search more the right comparison G3 vs A95L

the sony only 600 hdr nits not bright enough I go for lg c3

Install of the S95C it should it been the S90C in my opinion..

nice❤

i bought the LG c3 - 42 inch.

What about the Samsung panel lottery?

The A80L comes in an 83 as well

Welp I ended up with the C3.

C3 OR A80L guys? Price its only 100 euros more on the a80l...am more looking on ps5 gaming ....or shall i wait for the C4....lol

The more comparisons I watch the more confused I get

Sony A80L for me. Got it last week. Awesome, natural picture with great procesing. Perfect for my taste and as a PlayStation gamer, that was the icing on the cake. All 3 tv's are premium models tho, can't go wrong with any of them I think.

Consumers beware Go to shop and have look at it side by side and its terrible comparison it should S90C because this guy here is a Sony supplier like Value Electronics in the US. The funny thing is that HDTVtest has done a blind TV shootout with video professionals , colourist, and other film industry experts that found that Samsung has better colour accuracy out of the box on filmmaker than Sony A95L qd oled and better motion for sport. A80L have a magenta tint to it and is not accurate compared to even S95B according to Phil from AV forums. Showing these tvs on standard settings is not an accurate representation, and the fact that Sony was on cinema mode, which has dynamic tone mapping on the Sony instead of putting it custom or professionals mode on sony because sony doesn't have film maker mode, while other two tvs on filmmaker which accurate mode. Share of business for Sony in proper retails like John Lewis and Currys in UK market is shit for a reason. In there if Customer wants they can see the difference and hear the real sound on the TV when watching normal television program. not just their selection of specially made DEMO sound and video clips made to sound and look great, and wow the customer but the truth is you need a sound bar if you want clarity and cinematic experience. TV sounds are OK at the best. Also don’t listen to even Currys or John Lewis staff they will most time give you stupid opinions and spread misinformation because they are not trained and most don’t even know the basics so Make the right decision its your money Buying A80L is like buy LG B3 or A80J with new processor older panel from LGD

lg g3 is same price as samsung s95c ,,,so why put the lg c3 with these

Having two young kids and they complaining about the dim colours and find myself bitching about how the tvs are not bright enough and having to keep adjusting for different content. Clearly the Samsung wins for me… just checked my local shop and I’m going to wait a bit till the price drops..

No Dolby no go…

Surprised you didn’t use the S90C instead of the 95

You are comparing Samsung QD-OLED with other OLED TVs!! which is not a better comparison. Better do the video with Sony A95L & LG OLED evo G3 series with this Samsung Model.
