The B7A is an excellent choice for sports fans because of its virtually non-existent motion blur, and it has the ability to reproduce realistic and good looking sports fields.
It has near-perfect pixel response time of ~1.0ms, resulting in virtually no motion blur, so fast-moving objects like football don’t leave any trails on the screen.
The panel is also uniform enough that it has no issues with displaying large, same-color objects on screen, like football fields.
The main drawback of OLED panels are image retention issues with static images - pixels on the panel gets burned in when the picture doesn't change for extended periods of time. This usually happens with content that has a static image anywhere on the screen, like the logo of TV channels.
As the B7A has an OLED panel, it unfortunately suffers from this problem. There might be some retainment of artifacts for ~15 minutes when this happens, and it usually goes away after watching other content without static images.
There are some cases where normal content won't cut it, which usually happens when the static image has been there for more than some hours. Fortunately, the B7A has a “Pixel Refresher” feature that can recalibrate the screen, which should get rid of any remaining artifacts.
The B7A is great for movies, gaming, and sports. Its top-notch picture quality, combined with the features it offers, makes it perform really well across different kinds of use cases.
Movies look immersive thanks to the exceptional picture quality. It’s really responsive for gaming - players will have no issues keeping their actions in sync with what’s on the display, and fast-moving objects won’t leave any trails on the screen. That is thanks to the really low input lag of ~20ms and near-perfect pixel response time of ~1.0ms, resulting in virtually no motion blur.
It’s also great for watching sports because of the non-existent motion blur, and the panel is really uniform - it has also has no issues with displaying large, same-color objects on screen, like football fields.
The B7A's picture quality is top-of-the-line. It has an OLED panel that gives it infinite contrast ratio, excellent screen uniformity, high peak brightness, wide viewing angle, and great handling of reflections.
Thanks to that, it can reproduce blacks perfectly and the uniformity is top-notch - they’re truly dark and even, because the OLED panel has the ability to manipulate pixels individually.
Colors really shine and look true-to-life, thanks to the peak brightness levels peak of ~400 nits for SDR & ~700 nits for HDR.
The picture quality also doesn't suffer from much deterioration when viewed from any angle because the panel has a really wide viewing angle. It’s also capable of maintaining the same picture quality in bright environments, thanks to its high peak brightness levels and great handling of reflections.
While the B7A can seem rather expensive, the picture quality and features it offers is top-of-the-line and can’t be beaten. The performance easily outclasses all other TVs in this price bracket.
The sound quality of the B7A's built-in speakers is below average. It can't get very loud with the max volume peaking at ~85db, and sound quality it offers does not match the picture quality.
The B7A can display extremely fast-moving objects smoothly without any blur or lag, thanks to its OLED panel that has near-perfect pixel response time of ~1.0ms.
The B7A runs on the webOS smart platform, known for its intuitive and fully customizable UI. It’s built around a Launch Bar that provides quick and easy access to the TV's apps, settings, and inputs. This can be customized and re-organized to the user's liking.
The B7A looks good from almost any angle thanks to its OLED panel, making it a great choice if you usually watch the TV with large groups of people.
Its viewing angle is wide enough for a group of audience to experience more or less similar picture quality when watching from multiple angles off the center of the screen. The black levels and brightness only starts degrading at ≥75°, which means the picture quality will stay roughly the same no matter which angle the screen is viewed from.
The B7A runs on the webOS smart platform. It has a great ecosystem of apps, ranging from media streaming services (Netflix, Amazon, YouTube, etc.) to third-party apps. Support for these apps are also first-class with up-to-date features and good performance; for instance, the YouTube app supports 360-degree video playback.
The B7A comes with LG's Magic Remote, touted for its easy-to-use design.
It works similarly to a Nintendo Wii remote where the on-screen cursor follows the remote's movement, making it easy to navigate the UI and select menu items.
The remote also has a built-in microphone for the voice command feature, which also supports content searching with voice input.
Out of the box, the B7A’s white balance might look slightly off to some viewer, so a brief calibration might be required if you notice it. Fortunately, all the optimal color settings are available on the internet and isn’t hard to find.
The B7A's interface includes ads that can’t be removed - there’s no option to disable it. Ads on this TV can be really annoying when compared to other smart TVs because they're almost everywhere. There are video ads in LG's Content Store, apps menu, and even voice search results.
The B7A can reproduce a really broad range of colors that are crucial for HDR, which also means it has zero issues with SDR colors.
It’s capable of reproducing ~70% of the standard colors for 4K HDR, the Rec. 2020 colorspace. This is one of the highest in the 4K TVs market.
It can also display these colors at different brightness levels accurately that conveys much more HDR details than its direct competitors can.
The B7A is the perfect choice for HDR content. On top of its exceptional picture quality with perfectly deep blacks, it has everything essential to an excellent HDR experience: an OLED panel, wide color gamut, and high peak HDR brightness levels.
Shadow details are perfect and highlights are really stunning, making for an immersive experience. The OLED panel can manipulate pixels individually, which means it has control over every tiny bit of the picture.
The panel can also reproduce the colors necessary for true HDR, and these colors will really pop thanks to its high peak brightness level of ~700 nits.
The TV supports both flagship HDR formats: HDR10 and Dolby Vision, which means that you will have a lot of HDR-enhanced media to choose from. The TV does a fantastic job of displaying such content because of its infinite contrast ratio, high HDR peak brightness, and wide color gamut.
This 4K120 TV is an excellent companion to any current generation gaming console. With it, you can even enjoy the smooth, immersive effect of HDR gaming since the LG OLED 7 series does not suffer from increased input lag despite processing high bandwidth signals. When it comes to HDR gaming, this TV outperforms all of its main competitors, such as the Sony X930E and the VIZIO P-series.
The LG OLED 7 series TVs are ideal for gaming because of their low input lag and near-perfect motion blur handling which is combined with the excellent picture quality of the TV.
The TV’s input lag is only 21.6 ms, which means it takes the TV just 1/50th of a second to process input from a gaming console or a computer and display the corresponding image change. Low input lag is a critical parameter for a good gaming TV.
This TV has almost negligible motion blur because of its panel's full pixel response time of 1.0 ms, which eliminates motion blur as all pixels of this TV require only 1/1000th of a second to go from one color to another.
Excellent picture quality, well-handled motion blur, and decent color uniformity make the Sony X930E a solid option for sports fans.
First, the Sony X930E manages to keep its motion blur low due to its fast panel that needs around 12.7 milliseconds to make its pixels change their color completely. This rapid pixel response time ensures that you will not see artificial trails on fast-moving objects on your screen.
Regarding the color uniformity, the Sony X930E performs better than its main competitors, including the VIZIO P-series. Color uniformity is important because it reflects how well the TV can display large objects of uniform color, like football or hockey fields.
The narrow viewing angle is the most obvious limiting factor of this TV. Its VA panel is prone to color degradation once the angle between the panel and a viewer reaches 19 degrees. Still, this is a widespread issue for VA panels and is not specific to this TV alone.
The Sony X930E is an excellent TV to hook up with any current generation console because of the TV’s high native refresh rate at 4K. Furthermore, as the TV’s input lag stays constant regardless if HDR is on or not, it's also suitable for HDR gaming. It is expected that the X930E will be compatible with all the next generation gaming consoles since it’s highly unlikely that those consoles will surpass 4K120 in the near future.
The X930E has outstanding picture quality regardless if the TV is placed in a bright or a dark room. The X930E outperforms all of its LED competitors because of the TV’s excellent contrast ratio, black uniformity, and exceptional SDR peak brightness.
The TV has the native contrast ratio of 5744:1, which combined with the panel’s good black uniformity allows the TV to reproduce deep and rich dark scenes. Within its price range, few OLED TVs can outperform the X930E in picture quality.
It’s also worth mentioning that this TV does a fantastic job when situated in bright rooms. The sustained peak brightness of this TV is 1436 nits, which is far more than any competitor can offer.
This TV has all the bits and pieces needed for watching HDR-enchanted content because of the TV’s wide color gamut support, exceptional peak HDR brightness, and the panel’s decent contrast ratio.
Having low input lag and well-handled motion blur, the Sony X930E is an excellent LED gaming TV for those who aren’t interested in an OLED TV.
The input lag of the X930E is only 25.7 ms, which allows for fast and responsive gameplay as the TV will only need that much time to generate an image from an input signal from a computer or a gaming console.
The X930E handles motion blur because of its highly responsive LED panel. The panel’s full pixel response time is only 12.7 milliseconds, which almost eliminates motion blur since all the pixels of this TV need roughly an 80th of a second to change their color.
The VIZIO P-series TV is a decent choice for sports fans as the TV offers good picture quality, large panel size, right color uniformity and excellent response time.
The response time of this TV is 10.9 ms, which means that each pixel of the VIZIO P-series can change its value almost 100 times a second; thus, virtually eliminating the unwanted artificial motion-blur effect.
As for the color uniformity, while the TV is outperformed by the competitors, like the LG seven series OLED TVs and the Sony X930E, its color uniformity still allows it to reproduce uniform and good-looking sports fields as the dirty screen effect is minimised.
The viewing angle of the VIZIO P-series TV is limited to 18 degrees, which means that if the angle between a viewer and the TV is greater than 18 degrees, the viewer will notice strong color and brightness shifting.
The 65-inch version of the VIZIO P-series features a high-contrast VA panel which is superior to the IPS panel the 55-inch VIZIO P-series has. The panel can reproduce high-quality dark scenes because of its high native contrast ratio, black uniformity, and excellently implemented local dimming. In fact, the local dimming boosts the native contrast ratio of the VA panel from 4675:1 to a whopping 9271:1, which results in deep and immersive dark scenes.
As for the bright scenes, the TV’s 513 nits of peak brightness is enough to reduce glare and display high-quality pictures even in bright rooms. The VIZIO P-Series is more luminous than the majority of its competitors on the market.
The P65-E1 can handle dark scenes very well thanks to its high native contrast levels, which clocks in at 4675:1 native, and it can go up to double of that at 9271:1 with local dimming enabled. This, along with good black levels and uniformity, gives the TV the ability to achieve great representations of dark scenes beyond most expectations.
The sound quality of the P65-E1's built-in speakers is bad — it can't get very loud and the frequencies are not very well-balanced. There is also noticeable distortion at all volumes that gets worse with higher volumes. An external audio setup — such as a soundbar — is highly recommended in order to get the most out of this TV.
The P65-E1, along with several of VIZIO’s latest TV lineups, does not have a TV tuner built-in. If you plan to watch local over-the-air broadcasts, you will need to purchase a TV tuner separately.
The VIZIO P-series comes with a massive 65-inch LED panel, which has almost 40% more viewable area than the 55-inch panels that are offered by the competitors.
Because this TV has full 4K60 support, you will not face any compatibility issues with current-generation consoles, such as the Xbox One X, PS4 Pro, and Wii U.
Being suitable for gaming, movies, and sports, the VIZIO P-series is one of the most versatile TVs in its price range. While the combination of low input lag and fast response time makes the TV suitable for gaming, the VIZIO P-series is also good for watching sports. Moreover, TV’s uniform blacks, excellent local dimming, and reasonably high peak brightness makes it an attractive option for a home theater.
The VIZIO P-series is perfectly suitable for HDR-enhanced content because of its full HDR10 and Dolby Vision support. The HDR10 and Dolby Vision are currently the two flagship HDR formats used in the multimedia industry. In fact, all the new HDR movies and shows are compliant with either one of those formats.
The VIZIO P-series offers better HDR support than its competitors like the Samsung Q7C and Sony X930E which are not compatible with Dolby Vision.
This TV is an excellent choice for those who like to ‘speed up’ the regular 30FPS media (from cable/satellite TV or old DVDs) as it can interpolate low frame rate content up to a whopping 120 frames per second.
This TV comes with a brilliant, well-integrated phone and tablet application which can transform your smart gadget into a fully-functional remote. The application is particularly handy when you need to input some text, for example, while searching content on YouTube or Netflix.
The VIZIO P-series is suitable for gaming because of its great motion blur handling abilities and dedicated gaming HDMI port, which has its input lag reduced to 15.9 ms.
The TV’s ability to handle motion blur is directly related to its short pixel response time, which corresponds to the time it takes for a pixel to change its color fully. As the full pixel response time of the VIZIO P-series TV is only 10.9 ms, you will not notice any blur caused by rapidly moving objects on the screen.
This TV is not a good choice for HDR gaming because its dedicated ‘gaming’ HDMI port does not have enough bandwidth to support HDR-compliant input. This means that you will have to use a regular HDMI input port to feed the TV with HDR content. The problem is that the regular HDMI input has 43.5 ms input lag which is too high for fast-paced, competitive gaming.
