Our Verdict
LG C3 OLED
Sony BRAVIA 8 OLED
The LG C3 OLED and Sony BRAVIA 8 OLED are closely matched. The LG is a bit brighter in HDR content, but inversely, the Sony is brighter than the LG in their respective Game Modes. Regarding SDR accuracy, the LG model is more accurate than the Sony out-of-the-box, but the Sony does have slightly better image processing overall. If you own multiple HDMI 2.1 devices, the LG has a small edge there, as it has four full HDMI 2.1 ports with up to 4k @ 120Hz support. The Sony is limited to two HDMI 2.1 ports, one of which doubles as the eARC port, so you lose it if you have a connected soundbar.
