Sony A9F versus LG C8 (If same price)
All,
I'm having a very difficult time deciding which TV to get, but am able to get either TV for the same price right now (due to personal circumstances). Virtually all of my TV viewing is done in a dark room setting, and is either tv shows or movies (not gaming). I will be using a sound bar so sound quality on the TV is less important than picture quality.
A few questions:
(1) How does the motion handling compare between the two TVs? I know Sony is known for better motion in general, but I can't tell a difference when viewing the TVs in a store setting. In particular, in long panning shots, do either suffer from judder or other issues when source material is less than 4K? I’ve read that certainowners of LG OLEDS are disappointed with motion but in the store source material I can’t a difference (although I’m generally quite distracted by judder).
(2) Does Oreo suffer from similar bugs as previous versions of Android? I have a Sony now and Android TV is the worst thing about the TV.
(3) Whites in the store on the A9F don't look as bright or white as the C8, rather they look blue compared to C8. Is this due to the store setting/environment? I've read that the A9F has incredibly accurate color.
(4) Brightness - I know the A9F doesn't get as bright as the C8 but do owners of the A9F think its sufficiently bright in a dark room setting?
(5) Does webOS typically work without issues requiring reset/force stop of apps?
Really appreciate your thoughts and insights. Thanks so much.
