Which is better for a bright living room?

The Sony BRAVIA 9. Its Mini LED backlight reaches much higher peak brightness and it has an anti-glare coating, so daytime glare hurts it less. The LG C4 is dimmer and has no anti-glare treatment.

Which has better picture quality in a dark room?

The LG C4. OLED pixels turn off individually, so blacks are true black with no blooming. The Sony's Mini LEDs can show slight halos around bright objects against dark backgrounds.

Which is better for gaming?

The LG C4 for most gamers, thanks to Nvidia G-Sync certification, four HDMI 2.1 ports and instant pixel response. The Sony adds PS5 Auto HDR Tone Mapping and Auto Genre Picture Mode, which helps if you own a PlayStation 5.

Is the Sony worth the extra money?

At the latest prices it costs $276.78 more: $1,999.99 at Merlin's TV & Appliance versus $1,723.21 at Newegg.com. It is worth it if brightness and glare handling matter more than black level. The Sony has sold as low as $1,699.99 on November 4, 2026, which would erase the gap.

The Sony has no organic material to age, so burn-in is not a concern. LG rates the C4 panel for a long life, but static logos and tickers can cause image retention over years of heavy use.

Do both support 120 Hz and VRR?

Yes. Both are 120 Hz native 4K panels with variable refresh rate and auto low-latency mode. The LG adds Nvidia G-Sync certification; the Sony adds PS5-specific picture modes.
