Our Verdict
Sony A80L/A80CL OLED
Sony X93L/X93CL
The Sony A80L/A80CL OLED and the Sony X93L/X93CL are better than each other, depending on the usage. For watching content in a dark room, the A80L is better due to its nearly infinite contrast ratio and perfect black uniformity. The A80L is also better for watching TV with as a group due to its wider viewing angle, and its faster response time means there is less blur behind quick-moving objects. If you regularly watch TV in a bright room and need a TV that can overcome more glare, the X93L is the better option due to its higher SDR peak brightness.
