Our Verdict

Samsung QN85D

Sony BRAVIA 7

The Sony BRAVIA 7 is better than the Samsung QN85D. The Sony is brighter in HDR and SDR, and has much better contrast. It's also more colorful and has better image processing than the Samsung. However, the latter is a better gaming option as it has faster pixel transitions, but overall, the Sony is the better pick for most people.
