Our Verdict
LG B4 OLED
Sony BRAVIA 8 OLED
Sony's BRAVIA 8 OLED is a shade brighter in SDR than the LG B4 OLED and delivers slightly better image processing, yet the LG offers lower input lag, supports 4k @ 120Hz on its four HDMI 2.1 ports, and handles reflections a bit better. Picture quality in a dark room is close; pick Sony for image processing and LG for responsive gaming—especially if prices are similar, although the Sony is typically much more expensive, making the LG the better pick for most people.
