Sony Bravia 8 II QD-OLED TV vs TCL QM8K QD-Mini LED TV

The Bravia 8 II is the better pick for film lovers and mixed living rooms. Its QD-OLED panel gives per-pixel blacks, wide viewing angles and Sony's XR processing, and owners and reviewers rate the built-in speakers as good enough to skip a soundbar. The TCL QM8K is the stronger gaming and bright-room TV: a 144Hz native panel, Game Accelerator 288, up to 3800 dimming zones and very high HDR brightness. Reviewers praise its contrast and color but call its sound weak. Choose Sony for picture refinement and sound; choose TCL for motion, gaming and brightness.

• Choose the Sony Bravia 8 II if you watch movies and shows in a room with seats spread wide, want Dolby Vision and Atmos, and would rather not add a soundbar.
• Choose the TCL QM8K if you play fast games, watch sports in a bright room, and want the deepest blacks a Mini LED can produce at a 144Hz native refresh.
