Sony XBR-65A8H OLED TV vs TCL 65S525 Class 5 Series 4K UHD Roku Smart TV
Verdict: The Sony XBR‑65A8H outperforms the TCL 65S525 in every core picture metric, offering OLED contrast, 120 Hz refresh, and Dolby Vision (RTINGS, CNET). However, its higher secondary‑market price and burn‑in risk make it less practical for budget shoppers, where the TCL’s Roku platform and lower cost shine (Consumer Reports). For premium home‑theater use, Sony wins; for cost‑effective streaming, TCL is the sensible pick.
Winner: Sony XBR-65A8H OLED TV
Sony XBR-65A8H OLED TV: 8.5/10
TCL 65S525 Class 5 Series 4K UHD Roku Smart TV: 6.5/10
