The Short Answer
LG wins at $32.47/inch versus $46.49/inch for Sony. The 2026 LG OLED evo C6 (OLED77C6HUP), listed at Amazon as a bundle with a Deco Essentials protection kit and guidebook, is in stock at $2,499.99 — $32.47 per inch ($2,499.99 ÷ 77 confirms it). The Sony XR77A95L QD-OLED, bundled with an Austere 2.5m HDMI cable at Newegg, sits at $3,579.99 — $46.49 per inch ($3,579.99 ÷ 77 confirms it). The gap: $1,080.00 outright, or roughly $14.03 per inch. These are floors — cheapest in-stock listings per brand at this size — not market averages.
Price Per Inch Breakdown
Every priced 77-inch OLED in our comparison data, ranked by $/inch:
- LG OLED evo C6 (2026), OLED77C6HUP — $2,499.99 at Amazon, 77 inches, $32.47/inch. Ships with a Deco Essentials protection kit and guidebook.
- Sony XR77A95L QD-OLED — $3,579.99 at Newegg, 77 inches, $46.49/inch. Ships with an Austere 5S-4KHD2-2.5m V-Series 2.5m braided HDMI cable.
Two other 77-inch OLED listings (Samsung) matched our query with no live price attached, so they're excluded from the ranking. For context, the overall 4k-oled category rankings show a category floor of $9.05/inch — but that floor is set by a smaller size class entirely. It tells a 77-inch buyer nothing.
Floor ≠ average. These two figures are the cheapest in-stock listings per brand at 77 inches as of August 29, 2026. Averages across all retailers and configurations will run higher.
Same Size, Same Tier?
Mostly. Both are 77-inch 4K panels in the OLED class, but the listing titles specify different panel designations: Sony's says QD-OLED, LG's says OLED evo. Both prices are bundle prices, not bare-TV prices — LG folds in a protection kit and guidebook, Sony folds in a premium HDMI cable. Neither listing breaks out the accessory value, so treat both as the street price for what actually ships.
One transparency note: our standalone Sony-side query returned no in-stock listings of its own (no price floor). The XR77A95L figure above is the one Sony 77-inch listing carrying a live price under the 77-inch OLED query. If you've read that Sony's 77-inch OLED is generally cheaper per inch, no priced listing in our data supports that at this size — the two tracked listings show the opposite.
What the Extra Cost Buys You
Objective specs, taken verbatim from the listing titles — nothing inferred:
Sony XR77A95L — $3,579.99 ($46.49/inch)
- Panel designation: QD-OLED
- Platform: Google TV
- Named feature: AI Upscaling
- Bundle: Austere V-Series 2.5m premium 4K HDR braided HDMI cable
LG OLED evo C6 (OLED77C6HUP) — $2,499.99 ($32.47/inch)
- Panel designation: OLED evo
- Named processor: a11 AI Processor Gen3
- Named formats: Dolby Vision, Dolby Atmos, HDR10
- Named refresh rate: 165Hz
- Named feature: AI Super Upscaling 4K
- Bundle: Deco Essentials protection kit and guidebook
A listing title confirms what's named, not what's missing — the Sony title naming fewer formats doesn't mean the set lacks them. But if named support for Dolby Vision and Dolby Atmos matters for your movie nights, our OLED picks for movies go deeper on that use case.
When Each Makes Sense
- Choose the LG C6 if you want the lower cost per inch: $32.47 vs $46.49, which is $14.03/inch less and $1,080.00 off the total, with Dolby Vision, Dolby Atmos, HDR10, and 165Hz all named in the listing.
- Choose the Sony XR77A95L if QD-OLED and Google TV are worth $1,080.00 more to you ($14.03/inch), and you'll actually use the bundled Austere HDMI cable.
Verdict
LG is the cheaper of the two brands at 77 inches: $32.47/inch versus Sony's $46.49/inch, a $1,080.00 difference on the same diagonal. Both figures are cheapest in-stock listings observed August 29, 2026 — retail prices move, so treat the comparison table above as the live source of truth. Our methodology page covers exactly how listings are sourced and floors are computed. And if 77 inches is more panel than you need, we ran the same Sony vs LG matchup at 65 inches.
