Sony Bravia 8 55" QD-OLED TV vs Samsung S85HA 48" OLED TV

The Sony Bravia 8 is the stronger TV: a 65-inch QD-OLED panel with 120 Hz refresh, four HDMI ports and Google TV, and reviewers consistently praise Sony's motion handling and picture processing. The Samsung S85HA is a smaller 48-inch OLED that suits tight rooms and close seating, but its listed specs are thin and it gives up screen size and ports. Buy the Sony for a main room and mixed movie, sport and gaming use; buy the Samsung only if 48 inches is the hard limit.

  • Choose the Sony Bravia 8 if you want the bigger 65-inch QD-OLED picture, 120 Hz gaming and four HDMI inputs in a main living room.
  • Choose the Samsung S85HA if your wall or stand fits 48 inches at most and you sit close enough that a larger panel would overwhelm the room.

What reviewers say

Sony Bravia 8 55" QD-OLED TV

Owners of the Bravia 8 generally rate the picture highly, calling out contrast, color and motion for movies and games. Common complaints center on OLED brightness in bright rooms and the price relative to size.

What people mention
  • Picture qualityPraisedOwners praise the contrast, black levels and color saturation of the QD-OLED panel.
  • BrightnessMixedIt looks excellent in dark rooms, but some find it dimmer than expected in a sunlit room.
  • GamingPraised120 Hz support, low lag and four HDMI ports make it a popular console TV.
  • Auto-dimmingCriticisedSome owners notice the panel dimming static logos and scoreboards.

Questions and answers

Which is better for a bright living room?
The Sony. Its QD-OLED panel holds color better in a lit room, and the 65-inch size suits a main wall. The Samsung's smaller panel is better saved for a darker, smaller room.
Which is better for gaming?
The Sony, on the listed specs. It has a 120 Hz refresh rate and four HDMI ports, which covers a console plus a soundbar. The Samsung's gaming features are not stated.
Is the Sony worth stepping up to from the Samsung?
Yes for most buyers. You get a much larger QD-OLED picture, 120 Hz and more ports, plus a full-motion mount in the bundle. Step down only if 48 inches is your ceiling.
Which lasts longer?
Both are OLED sets with similar long-term care needs: avoid leaving static logos or tickers on screen for hours. Neither brand publishes a panel lifespan figure, so treat them as comparable.
Do I need a mount for either?
The Sony bundle includes a Kanto PMX700 full-motion dual-stud mount. The Samsung needs a stand or mount bought separately, so check your wall or furniture first.
Which is better for a small apartment?
The Samsung. At 48 inches it fits tighter walls and closer seating without dominating the room. The Sony's 65-inch panel needs more space.
