Samsung QLED vs Sony 4K LED TV Comparison (Upscaling, HDR, Game Mode)

We compare the picture quality of the Samsung Q80T QLED vs Sony XH95 (also marketed as the Bravia X950H in the USA) 4K LED TV in a side-by-side comparison. Aspects covered include local dimming, colour accuracy, motion, upscaling, screen uniformity, HDR, game mode, reflection handling and viewing angle.

Both 2020 TVs are 55 inches in screen size which retails for £1599 in the UK at launch, model number Samsung QE55Q80T and Sony KD-55XH9505 respectively.

Note: From 7:22 to 8:11 during the HDR luminance heatmap comparison, the source footage exhibited greyer blacks and more shadow detail than the filmed footage of the televisions. This is because the source footage was captured in HDR10 PQ (perceptual quantisation) and then rendered in SDR for this video, not to mention our camera didn't have enough dynamic range to capture all the shadow detail from the TV screens. In other words, the heatmap analysis is only valid for brightness above 100 nits owing to how it was conducted.
