Any comments on the Sony XBR-X930D TV and the LG OLEDB6 TV?


I currently own the Pioneer Elite Pro-1150HD Plasma 50" TV.  The color is beginning to fade so I am looking for a replacement.  I am considering either the Sony XBR-X930D TV or the LG OLEDB6 TV.

The LG OLEDB6 has received good reviews but the notes say there is detail clipping in bright areas and an occasional brief color noise.  I do not know how important these items are (probably not).  Best Buy strongly recommends the LG OLED B6 because of it high quality display that, he says, is similar to the Pioneer Plasma.

The Sony XBR-X930D has also received good reviews and the notes say there is some contest defined light "blocks" with high content DDR content and the Android TV interface is not very friendly. Again, I do no know how important this items are (??)

The TV will be used a monitor only since my sound comes from my TiVo Cable Box connected direct to my Ayre Integrated AX-7e amplifier to my Quad L2 speakers (mini monitors).   The LG cost is $2,499 and the Sony cost is $1,698.   The LG OLEDB6 Series display is very nice and so is the Sony’s.  OLED is relatively new technology and that is a concern.  I am using a Sony Blu-Ray player.

There is a big price difference between the two models that makes the Sony more attractive but I do not want to make a mistake. Sony is a well known brand and I do not know much about LG.  I do not know much about the reliability of either model but it is probably okay.

Does anyone have any comments on the Sony XBR or the LG OLED?  Or, does anyone have any recommendations for other models I should look at?

I am a custom installer and we just installed one each of these sets the OLED blows away the Sony do not believe the reviews on the Sony, it looks very good but fails to have the extremely deep blacks or color saturation of the OLED. 

My reference is the Panasonic VT series plasmas, the OLED is the first TV that actually outperforms the Panasonic. You can call me for more info if you like, six four six two three nine seven seven two four.
