Our Verdict

Sony A80J OLED

Samsung S89C OLED

The Samsung S89C OLED is much better than the Sony A80J OLED. The Samsung has a QD-OLED panel, allowing it to get brighter and display a wider range of colors than the Sony. The Samsung TV also has better gaming performance due to its lower input lag. However, if you use your TV in a bright room, the Sony performs better because blacks still look black in a bright room, whereas ambient lighting causes the black levels to raise and become purple-tinged on the Samsung.
