Our Verdict

Samsung 100QN80F

Sony BRAVIA 5 98

The Sony BRAVIA 5 98 is a bit better than the Samsung 100QN80F. The Sony isn't quite as bright as the Samsung, but it has significantly better contrast and local dimming, with much less haloing around bright highlights and subtitles. The Sony also has much better colors, and they don't desaturate in light scenes.
