Samsung QN65Q80RA 65" QLED 4K Smart TV
Sony A80J 65" OLED 4K Smart TV

Verdict: The Samsung QN65Q80RA shines in bright environments with its 1,300 nits peak brightness (RTINGS) and 120 Hz panel, making HDR highlights pop, but it suffers from blooming and narrower viewing angles (CNET). The Sony A80J offers true blacks and a 100 % contrast ratio (Consumer Reports) plus superior color accuracy, though its 600 nits peak limits HDR impact in bright rooms (RTINGS). For most users seeking cinematic picture quality, the A80J is the stronger choice, while the Q80RA is preferable only where room lighting is a major factor.

Winner: Sony A80J 65" OLED 4K Smart TV

Samsung QN65Q80RA 65" QLED 4K Smart TV: 7/10

Sony A80J 65" OLED 4K Smart TV: 8/10
