Pros + Cons

Pro
 Suitable for watching sports

The Samsung MU8000 is a good option for sports fans because of the TV’s decent color uniformity, well-controlled motion blur, and adequate picture quality. Good color uniformity is essential for a sports TV since it allows it to reproduce beautiful and even looking sports pitches and arenas. In this aspect, the MU8000 performs as well as its more expensive competitors, like the Sony X850E and Sony X900E. Also, a good sports TV must have a responsive panel that can eliminate the motion blur effect. Fortunately, the Samsung MU8000’s panel has a full pixel response time of 13.8 ms, which means that each pixel of this TV can fully change its color in about a 70th of a second, preventing fast-moving objects from leaving trails.
Comment

Pro
 Good picture quality

The Samsung MU8000’s picture quality is on par with its direct competitors. The TV produces a clear and good-looking picture in both dark and bright environments. The MU8000 does an excellent job of displaying rich dark scenes because of the TV’s fair uniformity of its blacks and high contrast ratio. High SDR luminosity allows the Samsung MU8000 to deal with the glare even in relatively bright rooms. The peak brightness of this TV is 380 nits, which is a good result considering that the competitors are only a tiny bit more luminous.
Comment

Pro
 Suitable for gaming

The Samsung MU8000 is the best gaming TV in its range because of its low input lag and excellent motion-blur handling. The TV’s input lag of 24.2 ms makes it suitable for fast-paced gaming.
Comment

Pro
 Compatible with current-gen consoles

This 4K120 TV is an excellent companion to any current generation gaming console, such as the Xbox One X, PS4 Pro, and Wii U. Additionally, the HDR gaming support of the MU8000 will allow you to experience the immersive HDR effects in the latest console games.
Comment

Con
 Contains ads

The main interface of the Samsung MU8000 does contain ads and sponsored content.
Comment

Pro
 Excellent color accuracy

Out of the box, the color accuracy of the Samsung MU8000 is very high. It’s unlikely that you’ll need to spend substantial time calibrating this TV.
Comment

Pro
 Good for 24p content

The Samsung MU8000 can detect and eliminate the judder effect from 24p content even when the content is sourced from a 60 Hz device, like a cable or satellite box, or Apple TV.
Comment

Pro
 Accessible inputs

The Samsung MU8000 comes with a mini One Connect box which is used to move all the TV’s inputs away from the rear of the TV so that you can easily access all of the essential inputs even if the TV is mounted on a wall. The One Connect box can also be used as a USB charging hub.
Comment

Pro
 Intuitive smart platform

The Samsung MU8000 runs the Tizen smart platform which is well known for its simplicity and intuitiveness. The whole menu of the Tizen OS is organized around the Smart Hub which acts as a gate for accessing all the functionality of the TV. Additionally, the Smart Hub has a row which contains the most-used items.
Comment

Con
 Poor viewing angle

Just like many other VA TVs, the Samsung MU8000 does suffer from the substantial picture degradation due to viewing angle. The colors of this TV start to degrade once the viewing angle is greater than 19 degrees which makes this unsuitable for watching with a large group.
Comment

Con
 Suffers from reflections

The Samsung MU8000 reflects a lot of light, which makes this TV unsuitable for overly bright rooms with lots of windows.
Comment

Con
 Terrible viewing angle

The 65-inch version of the Sony X850E comes with a VA panel that has a very narrow viewing angle, making the TV unsuitable for watching with a large group. Drastic color degradation happens when the viewing angle between the panel and a viewer reaches 18 degrees.
Comment

Pro
 Good for sports

The Sony X850E can make fast sports look fluid and crisp because of its good picture quality, decent motion handling, and excellent color uniformity. The TV performs well when it comes to color uniformity. This is essential for those who frequently watch sports played on pitches like golf, football, and rugby as it makes the pitches look natural and uniform. The motion blur handling capabilities of the Sony X850E is almost on par with what the competitors in this range can offer. The TV has a full pixel response time of 13.8 ms, meaning it only takes roughly 1/70th of a second for the pixels to change color entirely, and pretty much eliminate motion blur.
Comment

Pro
 Doesn’t suffer from image retention

The Sony X850E does not suffer from image retention so you can leave the TV unattended for long periods without risk of pixel burn-ins.
Comment

Pro
 Decent for HDR content

The X850E has a wide color gamut that allows it to reproduce the colors necessary for true HDR, and it has an average peak brightness level of ~400 nits that allows it to light up these colors properly. Thanks to that, HDR pictures look decent and highlights will look fairly good. However, the HDR performance can’t get better than that, due to the average peak brightness of ~400 nits which isn’t really enough for details to truly stand out, and it lacks local dimming.
Comment

Pro
 Great ecosystem of third-party apps

The X850E runs on Android TV that has access to the Google Play Store. The Play Store has a nice selection of apps, but normal Android apps won't work unless they support Android TV.
Comment

Pro
 Excellent motion interpolation capabilities

The X850E can increase the framerate of content to either 60Hz or 120Hz. It guesses which frames are missing based on the previous and next frame, and inserts the missing frame in between them. This produces a really strong soap opera effect, where images look really smooth. This might look weird to some people that doesn't like it, but the X850E can do this really well for those who enjoy it.
Comment

Pro
 Excellent value for money

As the only 65-inch TV available in its range, the Sony X850E offers decent value not only regarding its functionality and picture quality, but also in terms of its size. If the 55-inch options of the Sony X900E or Samsung MU8000 seem too small for you, consider getting this 65-inch TV.
Comment

Pro
 Good picture quality

Thanks to the TV’s decent contrast ratio, excellent black uniformity, and good luminosity, the Sony X850E offers decent picture quality in SDR mode which allows the TV to reproduce both dark and bright scenes beautifully. When it comes to dark scenes, the TV performs above average because of its exceptional black uniformity that is on par with what OLED TVs can do. That, combined with the native contrast ratio of 4510:1 allows the X850E to display thick, immersive and rich dark scenes. Furthermore, the X850E can reproduce beautiful bright scenes because of the TV’s high SDR peak brightness of 370 nits, which also allows it to deal with glare quite efficiently.
Comment

Con
 Not suitable for group watching

The X850E has a narrow viewing angle that makes it unsuitable for watching with groups. Its picture quality starts to deteriorate significantly when viewing from just ≥20° away from the screen's center. The colors will start degrading really quickly.
Comment

Con
 Requires color calibration

Out of the box, the color accuracy of the Sony X850E is slightly off so the TV will require a brief color calibration. Luckily all the recommended color settings are available on the internet.
Comment

Pro
 Wide app selection

The Sony X850E runs the Android smart TV platform, which has the widest app selection among all current smart TV platforms. All of the applications are available via the Google Play Store.
Comment

Pro
 Ads-free

The main interface of the Sony X850E does not have advertising.
Comment

Pro
 Can increase framerate of media

The Sony X850E is also a good option for those who prefer high frame rates because of the TV’s excellent interpolation capabilities. It can boost low framerate content to either 60 Hz or 120 Hz. Many people like the interpolated media.
Comment

Pro
 Perfect for 24p content

The Sony X850E is an excellent option for those who draw content from an antenna/satellite box, DVD/Blu-ray player or Apple TV since the X850E can detect and fight judder effect present in the 24p content.
Comment

Pro
 Suitable for gaming

The relatively low input lag of 34.3 ms makes the Sony X850E a decent gaming TV. Additionally, the TV’s input lag does not increase in HDR mode, making the X850E an excellent choice for HDR gaming.
Comment

Pro
 Decent picture quality

The X850E looks really good in dark scenes, thanks to its decent contrast ratio of 4500:1 and excellent black uniformity. It can produce blacks that are 4500 times darker than the brightest white, and the black uniformity is especially good - there’s barely visible flashlighting, where edges of the screen has light on them when displaying a black image, and the screen is evenly bright. This makes it perform really well in dark scenes. Colors look vibrant because of the panel’s high peak brightness levels of ~350 nits for SDR & ~400 nits for HDR. With these brightness levels, it can get bright enough to fight glare. Along with its great handling of reflections, pictures will still look good in decently-lit environments without dull colors.
Comment

Pro
 Offers best value for screen size in this price bracket

The X850E has the largest screen size at 65” for the cheapest when compared to its direct competitors. Similarly-sized models from its direct competitors cost much more.
Comment

Pro
 Excellent for 24p content

The X850E is an excellent option for those who watch content from an antenna/satellite box, DVD/Blu-ray player or Apple TV. It can detect eliminate jerky playback that is common in content from these sources.
Comment

Pro
 Excellent for watching sports

The Sony X900E is an excellent companion for watching sports because of its admirable image quality, decent motion representation, and good color uniformity. Aided by a highly sensitive panel, the Sony X900E handles its motion blur well as the TV needs only around a 100th of a second for its pixels to switch their color entirely. As a result, moving objects leave just a tiny trail on the screen. The X900E’s pixel response time outperforms every competitor in its price range. The TV can also display beautiful and uniform colors, which allows it to reproduce sports pitches correctly. In fact, the Sony X900E is among the best in its range concerning color uniformity.
Comment

Pro
 Excellent picture quality

The Sony X900E has the best picture quality in its range as the TV manages to balance high contrast ratio, marvelous SDR and HDR brightness, decent color uniformity, acceptable black uniformity, and good color accuracy. The TV does an outstanding job with dark scenes as its contrast ratio of 5411:1 is perfectly balanced with its decent black uniformity, allowing the X900E to display deep and immersive dark scenes. As for bright scenes, the TV’s peak luminosity is 509 nits, which is more than enough for making colorful scenes look really luminous, even if the TV is in a bright room.
Comment

Con
 Narrow viewing angle

Like most VA panel TVs, the Sony X900E suffers from massive image degradation due to the viewing angle. The maximum viewing angle of this TV is only 17 degrees.
Comment

Con
 Minor image retention problems

If you leave an image on the screen for an extended period, you might notice some minor ghosting effect which will disappear within a couple of minutes. This is a very unusual thing for a VA LED TV.
Comment

Pro
 Suitable for gaming

The Sony X900E is also suitable for gaming because of the TV’s low input lag. While in ‘Game Mode’, the TV’s input lag remains at 34.2 ms allowing for relatively fast-paced gameplay.
Comment

Pro
 Large app selection

The Sony X900E runs the Android smart TV platform, which has the widest app selection among all current smart TV platforms. All of the applications are available via the Google Play Store.
Comment

Pro
 Compatible with all current-generation consoles

This 4K120 TV is entirely compatible with all of the current generation gaming consoles, including the Xbox One X, PS4 Pro, and Wii U. Additionally, it’s highly unlikely that within the next couple of years any gaming console will break the 120 Hz barrier; so it is expected that this TV will remain compatible even with the next generation consoles.
Comment

Pro
 Ads-free UI

The main interface of the Sony X900E does not have advertising.
Comment

Pro
 Excellent for 60p and 24p signals

The Sony X900E is an excellent TV for those who use cable/satellite boxes, DVD/Blu-ray players, and Apple TV because it can detect and eliminate the ‘2:3’ judder effect. This effect is usually caused by 24p content being transmitted using the 60 Hz signal.
Comment

Pro
 Handles reflections well

The Sony X900E is an excellent option for those who need a TV for a bright room since its panel does an outstanding job of handling reflections thanks to the semi-gloss screen finish, which can diffuse around 98.8% of the incoming light.
Comment

Pro
 Excellent for HDR media

The Sony X900E has everything needed for displaying high-quality HDR content. First, the X900E supports wide color gamut which is essential for a decent HDR experience as it allows the TV to reproduce deep and vibrant colors. Second, in HDR mode, the Sony X900E can sustain up to 525 nits of brightness, which enables it to fight glare and display vivid colors even in bright environments. In its range, the Sony X900E is the most luminous TV.
Comment

Con
 Horrible sound quality

The sound quality of the Sony X900E is a total mismatch to the TV’s excellent picture quality. Additionally, the TV is unable to get really loud as it caps off at 90 dB.
Comment

Pro
 Picture looks good from an angle

The 55-inch model of the VIZIO P-series has excellent viewing angles because of its IPS panel which preserves correct colors and shades no matter the angle between the viewer and the panel. This property makes the TV ideal for watching with a group.
Comment

Pro
 Good build quality

The VIZIO P-series feels solid and rugged because its frame and stand are built from high-quality metal. In comparison, the most significant competitors of the VIZIO P-series: Samsung MU8000 and TCL P607 have their frames and stands built from plastic.
Comment

Pro
 Great for sports watching and video games

Great motion handling and low input lag make it a great choice for watching sports or playing video games, respectively.
Comment

Pro
 Handles fast moving scenes well

Fast moving scenes appear smooth since there is no judder, a visual artifact where dynamic scenes filmed in 24 fps (such as in movies) appear to stutter and shake.
Comment

Pro
 Great price for a quality 4K TV

Comment

Pro
 Its viewable in bright conditions

The backlight is bright enough to make the screen viewable in bright conditions, like a sunny room.
Comment

Pro
 Superb picture quality

The Vizio P-series can display a wider color palette, deeper blacks and brighter whites compared to other TVs in its price range. The contrast and black levels are outstanding for an LCD TV. It uses a 10-bit panel so the color palette range is 64 times larger than a standard 8-bit panel.
Comment

Pro
 Wide color spectrum with virtually no visible gradient

Color gamut is wide with almost no visible gradient banding, especially if the TV is calibrated correctly.
Comment

Pro
 Good design

The design doesn’t appear cheap and has a nice textured metallic finish at the borders.
Comment

Pro
 Excellent black levels and contrast ratio for its price tag

It has a full-array local dimming backlight system, allowing it to produce excellent black levels and giving it a contrast ratio of 5,700:1. In comparison, other similarly-priced TV sets have an average contrast ratio of 4,000:1.
Comment

Pro
 Great build quality

The build quality of this set is excellent, with a texturized metal frame that feels premium compared to plastic frames of similarly priced TVs.
Comment

Pro
 Control through Chromecast via a pre-installed custom tablet or your personal smartphone

A custom tablet with Chromecast is included with the TV. You can then use it to control the TV or use any app or use Chromecast compatible apps like YouTube and Netflix to directly stream to your screen. Your own smartphone can be used as well, provided you install Chromecast. However, since there is no system in the TV itself, you will always need a tablet or phone to stream content. Having Chromecast support also minimizes the risk of compatibility issues in the future.
Comment

Pro
 Capable of displaying HDR and DolbyVision content

The Vizio can display HDR and DolbyVision content so you won’t have problems streaming content in these formats.
Comment

Pro
 Equipped with HDMI 2.0 inputs and one 1.4a input

Since most new video players, receivers, and laptops come with HDMI 2.0, you shouldn't have any problems connecting them as the TV comes equipped with four HDMI 2.0 inputs and one 1.4a input.
Comment

Con
 Watching cable or broadcast TV requires an external decoder

If you want to watch cable or broadcast TV, then you will need to buy an external decoder. Vizio included one extra HDMI port to make up for that, so you can connect the decoder and still have four free HDMI slots like most TVs. For those who dislike using a tablet as a remote, you can choose to buy an external media box as well, though that also means adding another remote and another box.
Comment

Con
 Using the basic remote is not really an option

Not all users are comfortable using a tablet for almost all TV functions, and the smaller, basic remote that also comes with the TV offers very limited control.
Comment

Con
 Noticeable harmonic distortion

Harmonic distortion is noticeable in the mid range, especially in high volume.
Comment

Con
 Some reflections are noticeable

Reflections are noticeable due to the semi-glossy screen used, but there are no major halos or rainbows noticeable from direct light exposure.
Comment

Con
 Frequency response isn't very good

Frequency response is not that good as the highs dip down at around 10kHz and the lower end cuts off at 120Hz, meaning the lower bass is completely absent.
Comment

Con
 Issues with Chromecast

Chromecast streaming has issues with responsiveness and occasional bugs in the applications that result in the app freezing or crashing.
Comment

Con
 Sound volume not suitable for large rooms

The TV itself isn't very loud, so it's better to buy a separate audio system if you will use this TV in a large room.
Comment

Con
 Color shifts are noticeable when viewed at angles beyond 20 degrees

The viewing angle is unimpressive with the P-series, as you can notice color shifts when viewed at angles beyond 20 degrees.
Comment

Con
 To adjust settings, a smartphone or tablet needs to be used

The TV itself does not have smart features or even a traditional menu, meaning you have to use a smartphone or tablet to adjust settings.
Comment

Con
 Low brightness

Brightness measures at only 500 nits, which is enough for viewing in bright conditions like sunlit rooms but isn’t comparable to the brightness of high-end sets.
Comment

Con
 It's a bulky TV

It's a bit bulkier than most of the TVs today, measuring 6.5 cm.
Comment

Con
 It won't fit narrow TV stands

The stands are placed wide on each side of the TV, thus making it stable. However, it also means it won’t fit in narrow tables stands.
Comment

Pro
 Curved display for easier viewing

The TV is curved, which does not make much of a difference when viewing from a far distance, but can make it a bit easier to watch from a closer distance.
Comment

Pro
 Excellent motion interpolation for movie watching and sports.

If you like the smoothened effect that motion interpolation offers, than C6 is an excellent choice: the combination of excellent motion processing and non-existent motion blur delivers the smoothest experience possible.
Comment

Pro
 3D support

This TV has 3D support, which is a nice addition.
Comment

Con
 Heavy sound distortion on high volumes

The TV will sound reasonably good at low volumes. However, on higher volumes, the sound gets heavily distorted. For good sound quality with this TV, it is advisable to buy a separate audio system.
Comment

Pro
 Exceptional picture quality

This TV's picture quality is excellent. With an infinite contrast ratio, perfect black uniformity, very wide color space coverage, accurate color representation and non-existent motion blur the picture will always look in the best possible way. HDR content looks absolutely stunning and lifelike.

 Temporary image retention after displaying static images

For uses where static images will be displayed on the screen for a long time, the LG C6 is not the best option, as OLED panels are known by suffering from temporary image retention. The same goes for gaming: if there are screen areas where maps or health indicators are displayed for a prolonged period of time, there will be an afterimage visible. The retention goes away after a while or when the TV is switched off, but it's annoying.

 Slightly disappointing input lag

The input lag is a bit disappointing, as it is more than 30ms in all input formats. This should be enough for casual gamers, but won't satisfy serious FPS gamers.

 Speakers suitable for daily use

This TV's speakers are okay for regular use at normal volumes, reaching 92dB which is enough for a mid-sized room. But for larger rooms it is recommended to buy a separate sound system.

 Smooth motion for movies and games

The X800D’s strong motion control handling make it great for movies and games. At 15ms the pixel response time is better than its price range competitors which results in virtually no blurring or trailing with fast moving objects on the screen. Additionally, it supports black frame insertion, even in game mode, which further smoothes the picture and reduces eye tracking motion blur.

 Picture enhancement

This TV has a special processor that enhances picture quality. The signal is broken down and sent to the display in several components (texture, outline, contrast, and color). Each one is separately analyzed and processed, to ensure the clearest, sharpest, most attractive final image.

 Input lag sufficient for casual gamers

Casual gamers will be satisfied as X800D delivers barely noticeable input lag of 33ms at 1080p and 35ms at 4K.

 Great color reproduction

Despite the low price, this TV offers near-premium display specs and HDR functionality which separates this TV from its competitors. Sony’s Triluminos technology allows a much wider color gamut and more natural looking colors previously only found on high-end models. Pictures will look more dynamic and natural compared to other TVs in this price range, especially when using an HDR signal.

 Thin TV with thin bezels

The bezels are only 1 cm thin and TV itself is only 4.5 cm thin, so it will look good either on a wall or on a table.

 Handles reflections adequately if the room isn’t too bright

The screen has a semi-glossy finish which helps reduce reflections.

 Small details will look sharp and clear

The TV is a great monitor for tasks like text editing, web browsing, 3D modelling or other situations where detailed color information is needed for each pixel. It supports 4:4:4 chroma in PC mode or uncompressed color data for each individual pixel. It eliminates jagginess on text and loss of detail on small objects caused by pixels with inaccurate color data.

 Good support for various input formats and resolutions

The X800D’s support for different resolutions and refresh rates, when hooked up as a PC monitor, is excellent.

 No support for signals above 60 Hz

The TV supports signals up to 4K resolution and 60Hz with HDR support, meaning that most formats are supported except for 1080p at 120Hz.

 Separate power brick

There is a separate power brick on the 49” version.

Con
 Lacking black levels

Although the TV can reproduce colors brilliantly, provides a great picture in a dark environment and the shadows can be distinguished clearly in complex dark scenes. The black levels won’t compete with higher end models since it lacks local dimming, or the ability to dim the LEDs only on parts of the screen displaying black.

Con
 Somewhat lacking brightness

The maximum brightness of the set is 375 nits, which provides acceptable performance in sunlit rooms. HDR content, where brightness is needed, will look decent but lacks the peak brightness of higher-end models.

 43" model has rather poor viewing angles

Colors start to shift at 20 degrees and a noticeable brightness loss begins at 40 degrees.

 Input lag might be too much for pro gamers

If you are a serious first person shooter or racing game player, where every millisecond counts, the input lag may not suit you.

 Distortion at higher volumes

Harmonic distortion is not a problem in low and mid high volumes, but the sound becomes heavily distorted at maximum volume.

 Depending on the setting, inputs can be hard to access

Note that if the TV is mounted on a wall, some inputs are difficult to access.
