Sony Bravia 8 II QD-OLED TV vs TCL QM6K 4K QD-Mini LED TV

The Sony Bravia 8 II is the better TV for picture quality. Its QD-OLED panel gives per-pixel contrast, wide viewing angles and Sony's XR processing, and reviewers rate the built-in speakers as good enough to skip a soundbar. The TCL QM6K is a Mini LED set with local dimming, higher peak brightness and a much wider size range up to 85 inches, but it is an LED panel, so blacks and off-angle viewing fall short of OLED. Buy the Sony for film and mixed viewing in a normal room; buy the TCL for a bright room, a very large screen, or heavy gaming on a budget.

• Choose the Sony Bravia 8 II if you want the best contrast, color and motion for movies and shows, and you sit within a normal seating spread.
• Choose the TCL QM6K if you need a very large screen, watch in a bright room, or want a 120Hz set for console gaming at a lower outlay.
