LG OLED (Series)
Quick take
For movie watchers, LG OLED (Series) makes the strongest case on Reddit. Buyers keep coming back to picture quality in darker rooms, especially for movies, sports, and gaming. The main drawback is limited upgrade flexibility, which is the clearest reason some buyers hesitate. That leaves it looking like a strong buy.

Deeper Read
Reddit users are repeating a similar read across 6 separate discussion sources, not just one isolated thread. Buyers repeatedly like picture quality in darker rooms, but the recurring hesitation is still limited upgrade flexibility. That makes the buyer fit clearest for movie watchers, not as a catch-all recommendation. That leaves it reading more like a home-theater-leaning TV than a universal default.

Pro The Pros: What Redditors Love
LG OLED C5 55 First impressions (spoiler not so good) Coming from a Panasonic TX-55EZ950E that was ok but had a bit of burn-in and could play hdr movies but too dark, I just unboxed my new lg oled C5 55 thinking it was the best of the price segment and it's a bit of a disappointment for now. Image seems ok from what I've tried yet, Dune 2 and Avatar 2 looked good but not mind blowing when you already come from oled, but now HDR is watchable. Sound is better than I expected from a TV but I don't really care sinc
Sometimes, you just get insanely unlucky when it comes to brands. My first LG OLED was the C6 OLED which looked amazing and I got it because I wanted 3D. However, right at the 10th month in I noticed that one half of the panel was slightly darker than the other half. It wasn't really noticeable, but if watched anything animated it was very clear what was up. It was dreadful to work with LG, but in the end they cut me a check that I used to get the E8 OLED. The picture quality was better, but I missed my 3D. Three
​ We've been using our son's 55" LG OLED, bought around 2022, which we quite like (certainly better than our 32" pre-4k Panasonic), but he wants it back, understandably. We're looking for something similar, OLED because it's quite a dark room. So we went to a big chain TV store but only lasted 15 minutes. One of us has ADHD and it was full on sensory overload.

Have you gone into any stores to actually look at the screens in person, or just browsed online? If you haven't, part of your answer is there. You really should see all potential options in real life to look at the differences, mainly in terms of colors. Two years ago, I got a basic $300 LED tv (it was a Vizio). What eventually caused me to upgrade last year was how bad the colors looked, regardless of which picture profile was selected. Skin tones never looked right. I saved up, spent more, and got an LG OLED.
i don’t think 10-20 minutes of a static image will cause burn in as long as you continue to watch for a while after this. I’ve got an LG OLED TV that I use as monitor and I never turn off the screen unless I’m away from it for over half an hour, and no issue with burn in so far. The TV automatically dims after a couple of minutes and stays this way until I use it again so if your Sony has got auto dimming on static image I think you can get away with 10 - 20 minutes of paused content.
Con The Cons: Real-World Issues
LG OLED 65 C3 problem with uniformity and red tint Hi, I have LG OLED 65C3. I'm generally happy with it, but I have a few concerns/issues. All problems are visible only in dark room ( I usually watch movies on darkness). First problem is visible during dark screens, such as during pre-movie credits or scenes with a lot of black (e.g., Interstellar). There's a red tint on the sides of the screen. I can live with it, but it doesn't look normal. Is this the case with every model, or is it a defect in my display?
If you have a child that likes watching the same thing multiple times, I'd steer clear of OLED. I had a '65 LG OLED that I bought from Costco that ended up with severe burn in after about 4 1/2 years. I watch a lot of channels that have the logo markers in the bottom right of the screen and I also watch a lot of sports and news channels. All the graphics from those channels burned hard. When I got a replacement (not the exchange, we upgraded), I went with the Samsung 75" Class - QN90F Neo QLED Series from Costc
