Our Verdict

Sony X950G

Sony X800G

The Sony X950G is a much better TV than the Sony X800G. The X950G has much deeper blacks, local dimming, much higher peak brightness, better black uniformity, better motion handling, and uses a newer and smoother version of Android TV for its smart interface. On the other hand, the X800G has much wider viewing angles thanks to its IPS panel (in every size except 75").
