Our Verdict
Sony X800G
Samsung Q60/Q60T QLED
The Samsung Q60/Q60T QLED is better than the Sony X800G for most uses. The Samsung's VA panel has much better dark room performance, and its color accuracy and uniformity are also a lot better. The Samsung has a higher peak brightness and lower input lag, but the Sony has a faster response time and better build quality.
