Sony X77L/X77CL vs Samsung CU8000

The Samsung CU8000 is a bit better than the Sony X77L/X77CL, although the Sony is better for watching content in bright rooms due to its higher peak brightness. The Sony also has a much wider viewing angle, making it better for watching shows or sports with a group of friends, as the image stays consistent when viewed from the sides. Unfortunately, the Sony TV has a terrible contrast ratio, so all blacks look gray on this TV, making the Samsung the better choice for watching movies in a dark room. The Samsung also looks a bit more vibrant due to its wider color gamut, and streaming content looks better due to its better low-quality content smoothing.
