Which is better for a bright living room?

The Sony BRAVIA 8 II. Its QD-OLED panel pushes brighter highlights and keeps color stable from the side, so daytime viewing holds up better than on the LG C6's WOLED panel.

Which is better for gaming?

The LG C6. It has four HDMI 2.1 ports, a 0.1ms response time, and VRR up to 165Hz for PC gaming, versus 120Hz on the Sony.

Is the Sony worth about $1,148 more?

Only if bright-room performance and wide-angle color matter to you. Otherwise the LG C6 delivers OLED contrast, Dolby Vision, and better gaming specs for far less.

Does the Sony support Dolby Vision?

No. The BRAVIA 8 II handles HDR10 and HLG. The LG C6 supports Dolby Vision, which matters on Dolby Vision content from Netflix and Disney+.

Which has better sound without a soundbar?

They are close. The LG uses a 2.2-channel, 4-speaker system with Dolby Atmos. The Sony uses Acoustic Surface Audio+, vibrating the screen itself. A soundbar beats both.

Both are OLED panels with similar lifespan expectations under normal use. Neither brand publishes a rated hour count, so burn-in risk depends more on static content than on the model.
