Our Verdict

Sony X950G

Sony X800H

The Sony X950G is a much better TV than the Sony X800H. The X950G has a better picture quality thanks to its much better contrast, local dimming feature, significantly brighter screen, better black uniformity, more accurate colors, and better reflection handling. Its motion handling is also much better, making it a better choice for sports. On the other hand, the X800H has lower input lag, which may make it a better choice for video games. It also has much better built-in speakers, and significantly wider viewing angles thanks to its IPS panel.
