Not yet sourced — LG G5 OLED 83": Peak brightness, HDMI 2.1 ports, VRR / ALLM. Sony Bravia XR 65X85K: Peak brightness, HDMI 2.1 ports, VRR / ALLM. No manufacturer, official or retailer source we read publishes these yet; we don't estimate them.

Skip both if

Neither publishes peak brightness, HDMI 2.1 ports or VRR / ALLM yet.

The LG G5 OLED 83 inch and the Sony Bravia XR 65X85K represent two distinct approaches to large-screen television performance, one built on self-emissive OLED pixels that deliver perfect blacks. And infinite contrast, the other relying on a traditional LCD backlight with local dimming zones that trades some uniformity for higher overall light output. Public specifications and early reviewer measurements show the LG G5’s panel achieving deep, inky blacks with no blooming around bright objects, while the Sony model’s VA panel. And processing engine produce more luminous highlights and better color volume in well-lit rooms. Neither manufacturer has yet published final figures for peak brightness, exact HDMI 2.1 port counts, or full support details for variable refresh rate and auto low latency mode, leaving those capabilities subject to firmware updates and independent verification. The short version: choose the LG G5 OLED 83 inch for cinematic dark-room viewing. And the Sony Bravia XR 65X85K when brighter ambient light and modest size are higher priorities.

Verdict: Neither publishes peak brightness, HDMI 2.1 ports or VRR / ALLM yet.
