Our Verdict

Sony X900F

Samsung Q8FN/Q8/Q8F QLED 2018

The Samsung Q8FN is slightly better than the Sony X900F. The Q8FN has better reflection handling, although the Sony X900F is brighter. The Samsung Q8FN is better for gaming, as it has lower input lag, and it supports FreeSync and automatic low latency mode. The Sony X900F has a better response time, so motion is clearer with less blur, but the Q8FN is excellent as well. While both TVs have an optional black frame insertion feature, the Q8FN can flicker at a lower frequency, which is good for content with a lower frame rate.
