Verdict: Sony Bravia 7 wins on picture quality with Mini-LED contrast and Dolby Vision (per RTINGS and CNET reviews), while Samsung Q80D provides better value for bright rooms. Sony scores higher in performance and quality metrics but at a premium price. The Bravia 7 is the stronger pick for cinematic viewing.

Our take: The Sony Bravia 7's local dimming creates deeper blacks that stand out during evening movie sessions compared to the Q80D's more uniform but less nuanced backlight. In daily use the Google TV interface feels snappier for app switching than Tizen on the Samsung.

Winner: Sony Bravia 7 65

Samsung Q80D: 7.5/10

Sony Bravia 7 65: 8.2/10
