Our Verdict

Sony X950G

Samsung Q80/Q80T QLED

For most uses, the Samsung Q80/Q80T QLED performs better than the Sony X950G. The Q80T has a faster response time, leading to less motion blur, and it has lower input lag in addition to having VRR support, making it better for gaming. However, the X950G has a much higher peak brightness, better gradient performance, and has better out-of-the-box color accuracy, though this can vary between units.
