SONY BRAVIA XR55X94JU (vs LG C1)

Hi - I was going to buy LG C1 for mostly Netflix but some PS4 or PS5. My friend bought the SONY BRAVIA XR55X94JU instead after comparing them as he said it’s brighter as it’s LED and has more natural colours than Samsung which he found to be too bright. Also no burn in concerns but the screen saver will deal with that on LG.

anyone got experience of both? What do you think?

Well he is right, but obviously it's preference. Rtings.com i think have that model tested so should give you an idea. You can do a direct comparison on there too.

Unfortunately it's hard to say how good the new anti burn tech is atm as it's still fairly new ~1-3yrs old depending on model.

watched the comparison today. The only remaining doubt I have about the C1 is whether I’ll be disappointed by the brightness.

Where abouts in the South East are you OP? If you’re local I’m happy for you to pop over - I’ve got a CX and a Series X

I’ve just upgraded from a B8 (which died) and haven’t had any brightness issues with that.

That’s extremely generous of you! I’m near Gatwick (Horley) - keen to hear your opinion though!

Thanks so much. Can’t beat that kind of first hand user testimony. I’m going to order the c1. The store I’m going to buy sell 5 year panel insurance for £150 so I may go for that too as it covers burn in.

Just following up on this - got the C1 set up and love it. Zero issues with brightness!

Found out it doesn’t pass through DTS though which is annoying. I have a separate thread on that though.
