Our Verdict

Samsung TU7000

Sony X80K/X80CK

The Sony X80K/X80CK is better than the Samsung TU7000 in most ways. The Sony gets brighter in HDR, supports a wider color gamut, and has better color volume, so colors in HDR content are more vibrant and lifelike, and highlights pop a lot more than on the Samsung. The Sony also gets brighter in SDR, so it overcomes glare better in a bright room. The Sony is better for watching shows or sports as a group because of its much wider viewing angle. However, the Samsung has much better contrast and black uniformity, so it's better for a dark room as blacks are much deeper than the Sony.
