LG vs Samsung vs Sony TVs: Best TVs of 2024

Updated:

The envelope please...

Remember the huge leap forward from flip-phones to iPhones in 2007? Well, it’s the same all over again, but this time with smart TVs… and the new ones are game-changers.

Two big differences: 1) Unlike smartphones, TVs have come down in price, and drastically so, making today’s amazing new TV technology affordable for all, and 2) Of the many TV manufacturers out there, three clearly rise above: LG, Sony, and Samsung. (“The Big Three.”). They set the bar for the best TVs out there with smart TV technology, picture quality, slim and beautiful design... across some seriously impressive screen sizes.

Each brand offers models that excel in certain areas (e.g. “this one’s best in a bright room” or “this one sounds best right out of the box”), but the bottom line? Though it’s pretty hard to buy anything short of a wonderful TV from one of the Big Three, you can still hone your choice based on your own personal taste, your particular room, and what you like to watch. And that’s what this is all about: our experts picking the best of the best – by category.

(Psssst… before diving in, you can get up to speed with our new “TV Buying Guide.” It’s very consumer-friendly and offers a fair lay of the land.)

Sony’s OLED displays have provided eye-popping experiences since they were first introduced. With the new XR processor, the picture quality and audio experience for Sony has taken a leap forward. XR technology uses frame-by-frame picture analysis and Cognitive Processing AI to make each scene perfectly balanced with great dynamic contrast, brilliant colors, and deep-space absolute blacks. XR identifies on-screen elements and isolates individual objects, processing them to enhance clarity. When motion is involved, XR isolates the corresponding sound and projects it in exactly the right place in a 3D soundstage. It also analyzes the individual elements in a scene to emphasize the things you’d focus on if you were in the action yourself. The result: A viewing experience that matches the way the human brain processes images and sound in the real world. In other words, unbelievably realistic viewing.

This TV offers more than just a one-two punch, though. Integration with the Google TV platform and built-in Google Assistant control make for the easiest user interface navigation possible. No more hitting the home button to select a different streaming app, just tell GA what you want to watch, and it’ll bring it up for you. The 120Hz refresh rate and eARC audio return channel via HDMI makes this a great match for the gamers in your household.

I own a LG OLED TV C1 for about 2 years and it still work like it’s new. I also agree with the top comment. Plus when ever I go to the Best Buy in my area the return TV’s are mostly the SONY BRAVIA? You cannot go wrong with the LG OLED TV’s. I love minds and I’m getting ready to upgrade to a larger size.

Sony is an excellent TV but only has 2 2.1 HDMI ports which is not ideal if you have more than one gaming system and is expensive.
Samsung tvs are not better than LG Oled tvs as they have been known to have to many adverts and are not future proof as Samsung does not support Dolby vision. This important as the major plaforms/apps use it.

The best all round tv and money for your buck is the LG OLED TV. I have the LG C1 55 which is the WBE model and therefore boosts the EVO panel. The LG C1 also includes Black Frame insertion which LG did not include in both the C2 and C3.

Very informative and Ive already put my order in for a LG 77" B3
