65" OLED TV and Soundbar

Mister Gooey · 17-11-2021 02:28PM #1

Hi,

I'm looking at upgrading my current LG OLED65E6 which I bought from you nearly 5 years ago. I am interested in the following;

Panasonic TX-65JZ1500B
Sony BRAVIA XR-65A90J
LG OLED65G16LA

I can hang the tv from the wall or leave on a TV stand unit. I have 3 questions really.

Which TV would you recommend? the tv will be for normal tv viewing and movies.
Would a soundbar be required or will the TV suffice without extra investment for a significant improvement? What soundbars would you recommend?
Finally, have above mentioned TVs resolved (or improved) the OLED image retention problem? My E6 has over time developed image retention (really only becoming evident this year), from continuous use rather than from image burn incidents as the LG tv screen saver was always in use.

All help and advice appreciated.

Hi Mister Gooey.

Thanks for coming back to us again :)

It would be a toss up between the Sony 65A90and the LG 65G1 both are fantastic televisions and would be more than happy with either but the Sony is on another level to the G series and also a lot more expensive.

The 65G does not come with a table top stand and this must be purchased separately. Priced at £99.95 It comes with it own wall mount instead.

Currently the 65G is priced at £2199 and the Sony 65A90 priced at £3499

The image retention has drastically reduced over the years but is still not cover under warranty. As long as you are leaving static images on for long periods of time and use the built in pixel shift you should be grand.

There is also still a certain amount of reflection on OLED in bright conditions.

The sounds of the Sony is far superior to other screens but it really is down to the individual and how they feel it sounds.

If you did want to go for a soundbar then an entry level one would make very little difference if any to the Sony or LG.

You would need to be going for something like the LG SL8YG priced at £449

Or the Samsung Q600A priced at £549

Let me know your thoughts.

Hi Kenny,

Any indication from Sony that the price of the Sony A90 will drop over the next few weeks? The price difference between the G1 and the A90 is ridiculous.

Hi Mister Gooey,

Kennys off today so I hope you don't mind me replying on his behalf! We are never told of price changes in advance unfortunately but we do offer a 14 Day Price Promise so if you purchase now and the price does drop within 14 days we can refund the difference.

Let me know what you think!

Kind regards

David

Hi,

thanks for getting back to me. I'll hold off for a while on the purchase and see where the prices go (hopefully not back up!).

No problem Mister Gooey - keep me posted.

Mister Gooey · 19-11-2021 08:36AM

I'm going to go with the G1. I'll put the order through on-line later today. I'll see how the sound is before going for a soundbar.

No problem Mister Gooey - let me know if you have any issues with the order!

Hi, I'm going to wall mount the TV. I might get it done professionally. Who do you recommend for this in Dublin?

Hi Mister Gooey.

The G1 will be a great purchase :)
