Sony BRAVIA 8 II 65-inch QD-OLED (K-65XR80M2)

Sony's flagship-class OLED pairs a bright QD-OLED panel with the most accurate processing in the business: reviewers measured about 1,500 to 1,800 nits on a 10 percent window with reference-grade color and motion handling. It is the pick when picture quality outranks port count.

Sony BRAVIA 8 II 65-inch QD-OLED (K-65XR80M2)
  • QD-OLED
  • 4K 120Hz
  • 2x HDMI 2.1
  • Dolby Vision / IMAX Enhanced

It is the OLED reviewers keep calling the reference for processing: XR upscaling, gradation and motion are a step ahead of LG and Samsung, and FlatpanelsHD measured 1,561 nits on a 10 percent window with Dolby Vision support the Samsung S90F lacks. Acoustic Surface Audio+ also makes the panel itself the center channel if you run it without a receiver.

Watch out: Only two of the four HDMI ports are 2.1, and one of those is the eARC port, so a console plus a receiver uses both.

Pros

  • Best-in-class processing and accuracy
  • Bright QD-OLED with Dolby Vision and IMAX Enhanced
  • Sound radiates from the screen surface

Cons

  • Only two HDMI 2.1 inputs
  • Input lag roughly double the LG C6
  • Costs more than the LG C6 or Samsung S90F
