top competitors of lg led tv
I researched various sources, including Reddit discussions (1, 6, 7, 8, 9), articles from Tom's Guide (3), NBC News (4), and Marketing91 (2), and LG's official website (5). There was some consensus among the sources, with Samsung, Sony, and Panasonic frequently mentioned as top competitors of LG LED TVs. The sources were related to the original query, and my uncertainty level is moderate given the variety of opinions and recommendations.

Samsung
"Samsung is clearly the topmost amonst all LG Competitors due to many reasons. LG and Samsung are big time competitors in products like refrigerators, television and others. They are also competitors in Smartphones as well as Laptops."
"Samsung is the best all-round TV brand, partially because of its huge TV range, St. Leger said."
"Looking through most review sites, all of the top reviewed TVs are from Panasonic, Sharp, Samsung, and Vizio."
Sony
"Like Samsung and LG, Sony’s modus operandi is through segments, i.e. the financial services segment; mobile communications segment; network services and gaming and product imaging and solutions."
"According to Gordon, Sony offers some of the most color-accurate TVs you can buy today, with a solid smart TV interface (Google TV), good HDR performance and incredible processing power."
"Decent budget. I'd take a look at the Sony X90J, it is going for around $1800 currently."
Panasonic
TCL
"While LG, Samsung and Sony all make superb high-end sets, their budget and mid-range sets are often outshined by up-and-comer TCL, which offers great picture quality for the price with a built-in Roku media player."
"Definitely the TCL 6 series, they have a 55". It's probably a bit more than you wanted to spend but it's an excellent TV for the price and [on sale](https://reddlink.tech/tcl-6series-55) last I checked."
"You don't have too many choices at that range in terms of good TV. 55S535-CA is your only option at CAD 600."
Vizio
Hisense
LG OLED TVs
"Since you’re not playing games I would get LG OLED. Amazing color and picture quality and no chance for light bleed."
"My only concern with OLED is that I’m unsure if it’ll last ten years and still be bright... in past I’ve kept TVs a very long time. Within 15 feet it’s just got to be OLED From viewing experience they look great. I’m still in a similar quandary to you but mostly because it’s such a big purchase for me that I can’t replace it for a decade. I’ll probably go OLED in November if no new news has come out about HDR/OLED lifespans."
