  • Good value for a Mini LED set
  • Solid gaming features at 120Hz
Cons
  • Visible blooming around bright objects on dark backgrounds
  • Built-in speakers sound thin
  • Upscaling of low-quality content is only average

Questions and answers

Which is better for a dark home theater room?
The Sony Bravia 8 II. Its QD-OLED panel turns pixels off for true black, so dark scenes show no backlight halos. The LG's Mini LED dimming can bloom around bright objects in a dark room.
Which is better in a bright, sunny room?
The LG QNED84B. Mini LED backlights sustain higher brightness than OLED, and its anti-glare handling suits daytime viewing. The Sony is bright for an OLED but still trails Mini LED at peak output.
Is the Sony worth about $1,450 more?
Only if picture quality is the priority. The Sony wins on black level, viewing angle and processing. The LG covers Dolby Vision, 120Hz and gaming features at $549.99 at Best Buy as of November 5, 2026.
Which is better for gaming?
The LG on paper. It supports up to 144Hz VRR and Motion Booster 288, while Sony's gaming features are largely unchanged from earlier models. The Sony still offers 120Hz and four HDMI ports.
Do either support HDR10+?
No. Both support Dolby Vision, HDR10 and HLG but not HDR10+. That matters mainly for HDR10+ content on Prime Video and some discs.
What sizes can I get?
The Sony comes in 55 and 65 inches. The LG comes in 55, 65, 75, 85 and 100 inches, so it is the only option if you want a screen larger than 65 inches.
