The annual TV Shootout, sponsored by Value Electronics, once again found a champion This is because Sony won awards in both categories, making its name not only the "King of LCDs" but also the "King of OLEDs"

Sony was no different from last year as it won over its main rivals, the Samsung S95C and LG G3 OLED Below is the full list of OLED and mini-LED TVs entered in the 2024 TV Shootout:

The LG G4 OLED and Samsung S95D are considerable competitors However, even Samsung's new anti-glare matte coating and LG's upgraded MLA panel did little to sway the judges

The Samsung S95D was not far behind, at 88 to the LG G4's 84 Sony and Samsung were also close in the mini-LED TV competition, with the QN95D registering 80 versus 81 for the newly introduced Sony Bravia 9 It is quite surprising that both LG TVs lagged behind these competitors, coming in third in both categories, but it makes sense considering Sony's new secret weapon this year It makes sense when you think about it

The jury conducted a series of tests to evaluate the performance of the aforementioned TVs against the reference monitor, the Sony BVM-HX3110 according to Robert Zohn of Value Electronics, both TCL and Hisense chose not to participate in this year's event chose not to participate, which is unfortunate given the high praise given to TCL's QM8 and Hisense's U8N Mini-LED TVs
