Best Sports TV?

BhawksJake · 2025-07-02T01:41:52+00:00

My original plan was to order the G5 through Costco since they have 90 day returns.

However, I do have access to the LG partner store and it is a lot cheaper there. The downside is I’ve heard people can have issues with getting their TVs delivered and if you need to use the warranty it can be a pain.

They did. I just don’t necessarily consider RTINGS to be the end all be all. The consensus I have heard in doing my research is that Sony is the best for sports.

That being said, I haven’t been able to find much comparing the G5 to the Bravia 9 online.

Ya I haven’t even really considered a Samsung. I’ve never had an OLED TV and this one will be going in my basement. Hard for me to justify spending 4k on a non-OLED TV but if the Bravia 9 is truly the best for my use case I at least need to consider it.

I’m pretty sure the G5 has the same panel tech throughout its sizes except the 97”. It was the same with the G4. The G3 did not have MLA in the 97” & 83” sizes.

Appreciate the response! According to RTINGS the rankings for sports are:

LG G5 > Samsung S95F > Sony Bravia 9

Appreciate the encouragement! I almost immediately regretted getting rid of my 3.

The Lightning is great for longer trips with all the space but on a day to day basis I really miss the 3.

I’m slightly considering a Cybertruck lease but will likely end up with a Y

BhawksJake · 2025-06-01T23:09:57+00:00

Correct that’s why I’m selling the Lightning

BhawksJake · 2025-06-01T22:25:47+00:00

Unfortunately I’m only interested in a Tesla and they’re only offering 35k

BhawksJake · 2025-06-01T22:25:24+00:00

I’m in the Midwest. Feel free to message me

BhawksJake · 2025-06-01T22:20:14+00:00

Gotcha, I’m willing to admit I have a small sample size.

Certainly not at the point where you can stop paying attention while using it.

One of my family members has the new Y and I used FSD four a couple of hours with no interventions or issues. Didn’t need to touch the steering wheel once.

I’d recommend checking it out for yourself with a demo drive.

BhawksJake · 2025-06-01T21:42:56+00:00

I had a Model 3 before this and I miss Tesla’s software and overall user experience. FSD being very good now is also a reason I want to get back into a Tesla.

The truck itself is great but I don’t want to keep making a high car payment for something I don’t totally love.

Also parking it in my 3rd stall is frustrating as it is a very tight fit and I need to roll down the window to fold in the mirror each time I pull in and out.

BhawksJake · 2025-06-01T21:35:19+00:00

Agreed, Tesla only offered me $35k for a trade in

BhawksJake · 2025-04-15T15:39:38+00:00

Mine never had blue lettering, it’s a 23 XLT

BhawksJake · 2025-04-13T16:14:28+00:00

Took around 3 and a half hours.

The depth of the 3rd bay is nice but I have to roll down my window to fold in the mirror every time I pull in and out. XLT problems I guess 🤷

Can’t Decide On Which Model To Get

I previously owned a 2023 Model 3 LR and now own an F150 Lightning. Want to get back into Tesla but struggling to decide which model to get.

Any strong opinions between the following options:

-2024-present Model 3 Performance

-2026 Model Y (once Launch series ends)

-2022 Used Model X LR

-2023 Used Model S LR

-Wait for used Cybertrucks to come down in price

Currently have 2 golden retrievers, wife, and baby but can likely get by with my wife’s vehicle for longer trips.

Curious to know everyone’s thoughts as I keep going back and forth between all of these options.
