Which is better for gaming?

The LG evo, mainly for its higher refresh rate and gaming focus. Sony's gaming features have barely changed from earlier models, so the LG is the safer pick for fast action.

Which has the better picture for movies?

The Sony Bravia 8 II. Its QD-OLED panel and XR processing are widely praised for brightness and color, and it supports Dolby Vision and IMAX Enhanced.

Does either support HDR10+?

The Sony does not. LG's listing highlights Dolby Vision and FILMMAKER MODE rather than HDR10+, so check the specific model if HDR10+ matters to you.

Can I skip a soundbar with either?

With the Sony, often yes. Its Dolby Atmos and DTS:X speakers are good enough that reviewers say a soundbar may not be needed. The LG's audio gets less praise.

Which comes in bigger sizes?

The LG. It runs from 55 up to 97 inches, while the Sony Bravia 8 II is offered in 55 and 65 inches only.

Is the Sony worth stepping up to over the LG?

If you prioritize movie picture quality and built-in sound, yes. If you game or want a larger screen, the LG covers more ground.

Sony Bravia 8 II QD-OLED TV vs LG OLED evo AI 4K Smart TV

The Sony Bravia 8 II is the better pick for movie lovers who want the brightest, most accurate QD-OLED picture and strong built-in sound. The LG evo is the better pick for gamers and wall-mounters, with a higher refresh rate and a flush gallery design. Sony's XR processing and Dolby Vision support draw praise, but its gaming features have barely changed and it lacks HDR10+. LG owners rate it higher and it comes in far more sizes.

Choose the Sony Bravia 8 II if you mostly watch films and shows and want top-tier processing, Dolby Vision and speakers good enough to skip a soundbar.
Choose the LG evo if you game at high frame rates, want a near-flush wall mount, or need a screen larger than 65 inches.
