Our Verdict

Sony X950G

Sony A8G OLED

The Sony X950G and Sony A8G use different panel technologies, each with their own advantages and disadvantages. The X950G uses a VA panel, which is much brighter. The X950G also has much lower input lag, supports newer formats, including eARC, and supports the full bandwidth of HDMI 2.0 over all four HDMI ports. The A8G, on the other hand, looks much better in a dark room, has clearer motion with no blur, and has incredibly wide viewing angles. Unfortunately, the A8G also has a chance of permanent burn-in, although we don't expect this to be an issue for most people.
