Sony Bravia 8 II 65" QD-OLED TV vs LG OLED83C24LA
These are two different sizes of OLED, so the first question is room and seating distance. The Sony is a 65-inch QD-OLED with a brighter, more colorful panel and Google TV; the LG is an 83-inch OLED with webOS, four HDMI 2.1 ports and a large, loyal owner base. Buy the Sony for a smaller room, punchier highlights and Google TV; buy the LG for sheer screen size and a big wall.
- Choose the Sony Bravia 8 if you sit close, want the brightest, most saturated OLED picture and prefer Google TV with Sony's processing.
- Choose the LG C2 if you want the biggest picture for a large room and value four HDMI 2.1 ports, Dolby Atmos and webOS.

What reviewers say
Sony Bravia 8 II 65" QD-OLED TV
Reviewers praise the Bravia 8 II's QD-OLED picture, color and motion handling, calling it one of the better 65-inch OLEDs for film and sport. Common complaints are modest built-in audio and brightness that can't match the brightest OLEDs in a bright room.

Questions and answers
- Which is better for a bright living room?
- The Sony. Its QD-OLED panel holds up better in a room with daylight, while the LG's standard OLED is dimmer overall.
- Which is better for a big room?
- The LG. At 83 inches it fills a large wall and gives a more cinematic view from a long sofa distance.
- Which lasts longer?
- Both use OLED panels with similar lifespan expectations. The Sony is newer, so it has a longer support runway for software updates.
- Is the Sony worth stepping up to over the LG?
- If you sit close and care about picture quality, yes. If size is the priority, the LG's extra inches matter more than the panel upgrade.
- Which is better for gaming?
- The LG, mainly for its four HDMI 2.1 ports. The Sony has strong gaming features too but fewer ports.
