thanks zip recruiter for sponsoring a
portion of this video
[Music]
so here we go
it is time this is our avengers endgame
moment we've been building to this video
for
a while with all the tv videos we've
done we are now going to compare head to
head
really two of the three top dog techs
out there we're going to put cutie oled
head to head up against oled and try to
pick a winner that's best for you so for
this video the two tvs i'm using to
compare i think it's important that you
know on the cutie oled side it is the
sony 895k and that's this filming only
sony and samsung are making cutie oled
sets on the oled side we're using the
best of the oled worlds and it's a w
oled panel from lg it is the lg g2 i'm
not going to do a huge deep dive into
the features of the tv sets themselves
which ones have hdmi 2.1 ports anything
like that there's just comparing the
technology and these are the two best
representations of their respective
techs i think it's important to go over
the biggest differences first between
the two technologies so they're both
based on oled tekken started to kind of
branch off in different directions so
variations
of the sort of old or oled tech started
to come out recently and at their core
they're more or less the same they both
have diodes that turn on or off so black
levels are
black and practically the same but w
oled which is what lg is using is
basically a brighter version of the oled
that we've had for it's been almost 10
years
the sony a95k like i said is our qd oled
example and that gets brighter than
previous oled versions but also has
quantum dot tech over the diodes it
essentially translates to not only a
brighter image in the whites but also a
brighter image in the colors i want to
get this out early the preconceived
notion that i had the cutie oled was
going to be just leaps better in every
category than oled has been and that is
definitely not the case it's not like an
sd to hd type jump
it's moderate and not as noticeable in
some areas as it is in others
[Applause]
[Music]
so if you haven't seen previous tv
videos that i've made i've been trying
to decide kind of selfishly what tv i
was going to buy for for my house now
for the better part of six months i
actually landed on the lg g2 that's the
one that i own but it's because i chose
it don't think it's a spoiler alert
between who's going to win this video
there are a lot of reasons that into
that purchase especially versus cutie
oled and those reasons might apply to
you and they might not hopefully by the
end of this so you'll have a better idea
of which set's going to be right for you
there are two big reasons that i picked
the lg g2
over a qd oled panel and just a giant
one that was a non-starter for me with
size as of this filming the biggest qd
oled set you can get is 65 inches i
wanted a set that was 75 or larger lg
offered a bunch of different sizes of
their oled set with an 83 inch g2 that
was really the the biggest reason i also
decided to go for the w oled version
versus traditional oled because it gets
brighter like i said this is about 30
brighter than traditional oled which is
absolutely incredible and it's not to
say the cutie ola doesn't get bright
because it definitely does in fact it
gets brighter
but in different ways in fact if you put
these two tvs side by side and you have
to be a
nuts human being to do that the lg g2
gets a tad brighter in the whites than
the sony cutie oled does but as far as
like the tech is concerned the
brightness levels of both sets side by
side
is so miniscule in the brightness and
the white levels when with the g2 colors
are vibrant whites are extremely bright
and the clarity that comes out of the tv
is one of the best that i have ever seen
i've been fighting myself actually going
back and trying to find like old movies
and tv shows that are in dolby vision so
i can re-watch them on this set
blacks are perfectly black there's
absolutely no blooming and the contrast
is striking and perfect it is everything
that i wanted from an oled set for my
house
but it's not to say it is a perfect set
the tv is first of all
very very reflective that's not to say
every w oled is going to be as
reflective but they tend to be very very
glossy and having a glossy screen tends
to mean the sharpness and detail of the
image will be higher but also means any
light you've got in the room will be
very very noticeable as you can see here
it is certainly noticeable now the
brightness of the lg g2 tends to cancel
out those glares better than sort of any
other oled from a few years ago but it
is still there i have a lot of windows
and practical lights facing the tv and
they can clearly be seen but despite
that glare the set is still incredibly
bright and vibrant so much so the glare
is really not a giant deal at least in
my home and when it came to my purchase
decision uniquely i knew that was gonna
be an issue going in so it wasn't a
surprise that wasn't blown away by it
something at least you should know
because i have to go the oled side it's
not to say that sony's version of cutie
olive is not reflective
just not as bad
you might not see it but this tv video
that you are watching took four people
to make happen from me to editors to
scripting to post-production work it
takes a lot of people to put out the
kind of content that we put out and
that's not unique to what we do most
works and jobs take a lot of people
finding the right people is a science
finding the right person can set a
business on just a straight line up
finding the wrong person can do the
exact opposite that's why zip recruiter
has become such an invaluable tool
in the hiring process to find the good
candidates or the right fits from the
ones that are not and the reason
ziprecruiter is so good aside from just
having a lot of people out there and
being in the most respected name in the
hiring game
they are using a combination of
algorithm science what appears to be a
bit of magic to proactively show you the
right candidates even before they have
applied they look at their skill sets
look at their experience and say these
people might be the right fit for you
they even have built-in features that
make it super easy to reach out to those
qualified candidates with a single click
they basically do all the work for you
ziprecruiter is so good at what they do
the four out of five employers so by my
math 80 percent get a quality candidate
in the first day no matter whether you
are a small business or a big business
zip recruiter has the tools and the
people to set your business off on the
right path this is this whole process is
so easy the hardest thing that you have

now while the w oled in this case on the
lg g2 can get really bright in the
whites does not get brighter than cutie
oled and color representations and
differences between the two in color
brightness are actually really
noticeable without them being side by
side and again that's thanks to the
quantum dot tech that's over the diodes
on the qd oled set that will like
enhance the overall image that you're
watching and the picture that comes out
of the cutie oled is arguably the best
on the market
i'm not sure what the average tv viewer
necessarily noticed the main differences
they might even prefer the brighter
whites of the w oled but overall image
that comes out
of the cutie oled is brighter and more
vibrant even if the whites are just
slightly dimmer than w oled now had
there been
an 83 inch cutie oled set available when
i made my purchase decision i probably
would have gone that way but i love my
lg g2 i love watching it i love the way
the content looks on it it is a
beautiful set and really no matter which
way you go that can be disappointed at
all the nuances and differences between
these two picture qualities is so small
one thing to consider though
oled tech has been around like i said
for 10 years
cutie oled is still relatively new not
say issues are going to arise but it's
not as tested uh as olatech that
wouldn't stop me from buying a cutie old
headset but it might give you pause at
least make you want to consider maybe an
extended warranty if you're going to go
the cutie oled route but the complete
deal breaker and the biggest downside
for me of cutiola was size again right
now they are capped at 65 inches and i'm
sure larger versions are coming very
soon if you're have it in your head that
you want to set bigger than 65 inches
then decision is made for you you want
to go oled you want to go w oled and you
want to get one of those sets if you're
in the 65 inch or smaller category size
decision gets a a bit muddier so like
the w oled sets qd oled does suffer from
reflections granted it's not as bad as
the lg 2 example we have here both have
reflective screens oled's best
environment though is still a dark room
if you have the ability to put either of
these sets in a space like that you're
going to love life in a bright room know
that with either set you're going to
have some glare issues to deal with if
gaming is your jam on both of these two
sets
the differences here are even less uh
both will look almost identical you want
to make sure you do get a set though
that has 4k hdmi 2.120 hertz which if
you get a top of the line oled set or
any cutie oled sets you'll be covered
the last difference i'm going to talk
about here is maybe the biggest decider
for people and that's price and listen
neither of these tvs using as the
example uh are cheap by any means but
the sony
is really expensive the 65 inch is 4 000
and as of this filming
i don't see the price going down anytime
soon lg g2 gets close to 4 000 as well
that's in the 77 inch price so you get a
bigger tv for less 65 inches with the lg
lg offers bigger tvs at a higher price
if you're going 65 versus 65
the sony is over a thousand dollars more
than the lg that is a very very big
difference if you're going to compare
the lg g2 to samsung's qt oled the
pricing though is a bit more on par
[Music]
i love doing versus videos i love doing
them with phones and i always try to
declare
a winner and a winner is usually very
obvious
i don't want to say both of these are
great but it boils down
for me to this if you're making the
decision to spend a decent amount of
money on cutie oled versus oled the
first question like i've talked about is
size if you want a bigger than 65 inches
go w oled and know that you are not
going to be getting a lesser tv decision
i made i don't regret it for
a hot second so on the other side if you
want to spend the money you want to be
on the cutting edge of technology or
like a high level cinema nerd and color
accuracy matters more to you than
anything else and the sony tv is
absolutely incredible there's a reason
that sony monitors are usually the gold
standard for color accuracy
you're going to absolutely love the set
now i haven't seen the samsung version
of qd oled yet so i can't evaluate how
that looks but
sony 2lg the decision was relatively
easy one
for me to make for most people though i
would advise save the money go w oled
you're not going to have the side by
side notice any difference whatsoever
but if you want that extra color
accuracy and that matters to you
you're still getting pretty happy with
your brand new sony 895k
