Sony X80K/X80CK vs LG UR8000

The LG UR8000 is better than the Sony X80K/X80CK. The Sony has advantages over the LG, such as a wider color gamut, less uniformity issues when watching content with large areas of bright color, and superior sharpness processing when upscaling low-resolution content. The Sony also has a much wider viewing angle, so it's the better choice for a wide seating arrangement as its image stays more consistent than the LG's when viewed from the sides. Still, the LG has one major advantage over the Sony: vastly superior contrast and black uniformity, so it's much better in a dark room than the Sony is. The LG also has much better low-quality content smoothing, so low-bitrate content from streaming services looks better on it than it does on the Sony.
