Our Verdict
Sony X800H
LG GX OLED
The LG GX OLED is much better than the Sony X800H, but they use different panel types. The LG has an OLED panel with an infinite contrast ratio and perfect black uniformity. It's better for gaming thanks to its VRR and HDMI 2.1 support, and its near-instant response time. However, the Sony uses an LED panel that's immune to permanent burn-in, and it gets brighter than the LG.
