Our Verdict

Sony X800E

Samsung NU8000

These two TVs have different panel types. If you've got a room with a wide sitting arrangement, then the Sony X800E is a better choice as the image remains accurate when viewed from the side. If you'll be sitting straight in front and like watching movies in a dark room, then the Samsung NU8000 is a better option as it can deliver deeper and more uniform blacks. Also, the NU8000 supports FreeSync variable refresh rate technology which helps prevent tearing when playing video games.
