Sony X950G The Sony X950G is the front-runner LCD TV from Sony. Thanks to its VA panel and Full Array Local Dimming it is a good choice for darker rooms. Reflections won't do much harm, so it's also great for bright rooms. However, its contrast is not as high as that of the Samsung Q80R. More about Sony X950G Bravia	Samsung QLED Q80R The Samsung Q80R is one of the best TVs in the QLED series. Like the Sony X950G, it features a 120Hz VA panel that uses Full Array Local Dimming in order to produce deep blacks, which is great for dark environments. However, it also looks good in bright rooms because of the high contrast ratio. It's also a good gaming TV because of its 120 Hz and low input lag. More about Samsung Q90R QLED

Our conclusion: Jack-of-all-trades or Gaming TV?

Overall, the Samsung Q80R and Sony X950G are two TVs that are similar in their basic characteristics. Nevertheless, the two have different strengths. If you’re looking for a gaming TV, the Samsung Q80R is definitely the better choice because the input lag is much lower. The Q80R also scores more points in sports.

However, if gaming is less important than flexibility, the Sony X950G is the better choice. Due to Full Array Local Dimming, high contrast ratio and good brightness, it is equally suited for dark and bright rooms. It also cuts a fine figure on HDR content – just like the Samsung Q80R.
