Master level TV / Monitor with accurate HDR
I relate my journey finding the best 48" OLED to take over my computer: After having owned both the LG C1 and C2 48" I have to say this is hands down superior in nearly every category. I will proceed to list: 1) HDR - After having tried several game titles and movies, the HDR on the C2/C1 look bloomy and often hide details. I was able to pick up on details I was never able to with the Sony, it was kind of disappointing to see how much detail was being lost due to overblown HDR 2) Though I can't confirm, this TV feels brighter than the C1 and C2, there's also better uniformity across the panel 3) Pixel Processing and upscaling is insanely superior on the Sony, it reveals far more minute details of every scene 4) Motion handling - This one the Sony wins hands down. Motion just feels superior, even when you enable the soap opera mode, it does it in a better way than the LG 5) OS: It pains to say this but as much as I love WebOS, I really enjoy the way the menus are laid out on Android TV. You don't need that fancy 'game mode' thing the LG has. The Sony also has every setting and also far more accessible. 6) Monitor Specific: The Sony has less aggressive ABL out of the box meaning you will not get dark screens as aggressive while using the computer which can be frustrating at times. Meanwhile, the only things I consider superior on the C2: 1) GSync: PC gaming does unquestionably feel more responsive on the C2, but the difference is not night and day. I can still fully enjoy my games despite not having the ultimate 'G-Sync' 2) HDMI ports: Not sure why Sony couldn't make every port 2.1 Sony just stepped up their game this year. This TV/Monitor is superior to the C2. I don't think having 2 better categories can make up for all the other greatness that makes this TV the ultimate choice for your setup. Go with the Sony, I personally barely use G-Sync and I bet a lot of us today don't.

This OLED is the best one yet
Best OLED i’ve owned without a doubt. For a while, I was debating to get either an LG C3 or the Sony A90K and after seeing a side by side comparison, the A90K took the icing on the cake by a mile. First off let’s talk about gaming, Gaming on this A90K is phenomenonal, the picture, the deep blacks, the amount of details i was able to pick up, the realistic skin tones & colors blew me away. Also, to those who own a PS5, the A90K automatically comes with a Auto HDR Tone Mapping for the PS5 to calibrate to get the best HDR experience. When it comes to gaming features however, the LG takes that by a mile cause it has all the necessites you need. The A90K has VRR, 120hz support, HDMI 2.1 so you can get that buttery 120fps on some compatible games. If you don’t do PC Gaming and you’re someone like me that plays on Console (PS5), definitely get the A90K it will blow your mind. As for Sound Quality, this thing is honestly insane for what it is. Obviously you get what you pay for but the Speakers on this TV is mad loud and has a very good bass to it. As for movies/shows this is what the Sony OLEDs really shines, they look incredible. The amount of details, just everything, looks too good. I can go on & on about this but i don’t wanna make this review too long. If you guys are on the hunt for an OLED, look no further and get the A90K. If you don’t mind to spend a little more since you’re paying for a more premium OLED, do it you won’t regret your purchase

A fine choice in a 48" TV, but...
An excellent 48" WOLED TV overall, although it is out-performed by the newer LG C3. It offers a decent viewing angle and needed little adjustment to dial in a great picture for our use in a darkened room, mostly streaming movies and TV programming with the occasional Blu-ray Disc movie as well. Ours was an Open Box Excellent (Geek Squad Verified) purchase and was shipped to us from a Best Buy store. Unboxing, I noted that the power cord was allowed to get between the bottom of the display and the Styrofoam insert, slightly scuffing the lower bezel. Also, the metal base for the stand was not in the pocket that was designed to hold it, and was instead sitting directly against the carton interior in a bottom corner, and it is dented on the rear edge, most likely because it was unsecured in shipping. The stand had never been unwrapped or assembled to the TV, but it was apparently a store display unit, as part of the wall mount was still attached and there was residual dust on the rear of the set. Three screws were loose in the carton, presumably from the wall mount. Finally, there were many finger and palm prints on the display, likely from mishandling when re-boxing. Overall, a big fail for the Geek Squad. It was most likely in Excellent Condition until they had their way with it, but it should have been graded: Good (Works like new. Restored to factory settings. May have minor scratches or dents...) rather than: Excellent (Works and looks like new. Restored to factory settings…). In the future, I’ll avoid Best Buy Open Box TVs…
