Samsung Q80D vs Sony Bravia 7 65
Verdict: Sony Bravia 7 wins on picture quality with 500+ dimming zones and Dolby Vision support per RTINGS and CNET data while Samsung Q80D counters with lower cost and brighter peak HDR in some scenes. The Bravia 7 delivers superior motion handling and upscaling for mixed content. Samsung remains competitive for value-focused buyers avoiding premium pricing.
Our take: The Bravia 7's Acoustic Surface Audio makes dialogue feel anchored to the screen in a way the Q80D's downward-firing speakers cannot match during late-night viewing. Q80D menus feel snappier day-to-day but the Sony's remote and Google TV integration reduce friction once learned.
Winner: Sony Bravia 7 65
Samsung Q80D: 7.2/10
Sony Bravia 7 65: 8.1/10
