Our Verdict
LG B8 OLED
Sony X800G
The Sony X800G and LG B8 OLED use different panel technologies, each with advantages and disadvantages. The Sony has an IPS panel, and the brightness doesn't vary with content. The LG, on the other hand, can display perfect blacks in a dark room thanks to the OLED panel. The LG also has a much faster response time and delivers crisp motion, but with more stutter. The Sony is immune to the risk of burn-in that the B8 has.
