Our Verdict

Sony X900F

Samsung NU8000

The Sony X900F is better than the Samsung NU8000. The X900F has a more advanced full array local dimming feature, whereas the NU8000 is edge-lit. The X900F has better motion handling, with a faster response time. The Samsung NU8000 is a bit better for competitive gaming, as it supports the latest technologies, including VRR and Auto Low Latency Mode, and it has less input lag.
