In the environment of LCD panel price decreasing and consumers' audio-visual demand increasing, "large size" has become a hot word in the TV market in the past two years. In the early days, we thought it was big enough to buy 50 inch and 55 inch TV sets, but at present, 65 inch TV sets will be the entry-level size of large screen TV sets. Considering the cost performance, Sony X8000G or Samsung Q60 is the first entry-level TV of Samsung and Sony.

Sony X8000G vs Samsung Q60: Appearance comparison

Both TV sets use the minimalist design language, there is no redundant decoration, which can let the viewers focus on the large screen more. In terms of the base, the Sony X8000G base has a larger angle of separation and a larger space in the middle of the screen to enhance the stability of the fuselage and to be able to place its own soundbar.

In terms of the overall appearance, the two TVs have their own characteristics. Although the overall design style is similar, Sony pays more attention to the details. In terms of interface configuration, Sony has one more USB 3.0 Interface and its HDMI 2.0 Interface supports PS4 Pro 4K HDR output.


Sony X8000G vs Samsung Q60: Picture quality comparison

Using Spyder 4 to test the color gamut in standard image mode, the two are almost at the same level. The NTSC gamut of Sony X8000G is 83%, while Samsung Q60 is 82%. Objective data is only a part of it. The final image presentation needs to consider the strength of core display technology and the manufacturer's control over image adjustment.

4K Ultra HD video (both TVs are in standard mode)

Sony's X8000G color has a higher degree of brilliance and saturation, and it looks more comfortable. Samsung's Q60 screen is generally white, the color is distorted, and the style is relatively cold. Although Samsung's brightness is also good enough, its color saturation is not enough.

In the partially highlighted video, Sony is better at restoring the dark details; Samsung has lost some details due to the lack of brightness.

Both Sony X8000G and Samsung Q60 are equipped with dynamic picture enhancement technology. Sony X8000G can show map details relatively smoothly, while Samsung Q60 has obvious trailing. Sony's motion flow XR technology is still very obvious for dynamic picture enhancement.

Sony X8000G vs Samsung Q60: Signal input capability

Many friends buy TV in order to play games, and input delay plays a decisive role in whether they can enjoy the game experience, so here we test the signal input ability of two TV sets in the game mode.

We connect two TVs with a notebook through a screen splitter, set two TVs to enter the game mode respectively, and then calculate the input delay by using the time difference of the online stopwatch on the TV. Sony X8000G is shown as twenty-one point five zero four Seconds, vs. actual twenty-one point five five zero The second difference is 46 ms; the Samsung Q60 is shown as twenty-one point four five eight Seconds, vs. actual twenty-one point five five zero The second difference is 92 milliseconds, so Sony is twice as fast as Samsung in input delay, with obvious advantages. (limited by the equipment, there may be some errors between the input delay data and the actual data, but at least Sony is much better than Samsung under the same test method.)

To sum up, Sony TV is the representative of high-quality audio-visual TV. If your budget is limited and you want to get a better experience in audio-visual performance and content resources, Sony 65 inch X8000G TV can definitely meet your needs.
