Our Verdict

LG G4 OLED

Sony BRAVIA 8 OLED

The LG G4 OLED is better than the Sony BRAVIA 8 OLED. If you're a PC gamer, the LG is better due to its support for up to 4k @ 144Hz. The LG is the brighter TV overall, so it overcomes more glare in a bright room when watching SDR content, and highlights pop out a lot more in HDR content. The LG is also more accurate in both SDR and HDR due to its better PQ EOTF tracking and pre-calibration accuracy. Finally, as good as the viewing angle is on the Sony, the LG's is wider, so the image holds up even better when viewed from the sides of the screen.
