Sony BRAVIA 6 OLED vs Philips 974 Series OLED Roku TV
Both are 4K OLED sets with 120 Hz panels, four HDMI ports and Dolby Vision, so picture fundamentals are close. The Sony BRAVIA 6 adds HDMI 2.1 gaming features (VRR, ALLM, 4K/120), Dolby Vision plus HLG, DTS:X, Bluetooth 5.2 and Gemini voice control, and it comes in sizes from 48 to 83 inches. The Philips 974 runs Roku TV, which most people find simpler, and adds Dolby Vision IQ, but it is a single 65-inch model with a narrower feature set. Buy the Sony for gaming, mixed room sizes and richer format support; buy the Philips if you want Roku's interface and a 65-inch OLED.
- Choose the Sony BRAVIA 6 if you game on a console or PC, want a 48-inch or a very large screen, or care about DTS:X and the widest HDR format support.
- Choose the Philips 974 if you prefer Roku's simple interface and voice remote and want a 65-inch OLED with Dolby Vision IQ.
