Sony X900F 55" (XBR55X900F) vs LG B8PUA OLED 55" (OLED55B8PUA)

The overall picture quality of the Sony X900F is on par with what the best, high-end TVs in its price range offer. The X900F offers excellent performance when it comes to both bright and dark scenes thanks to its ability to recreate bright and vivid colors as well as some deep blacks.

The Sony X900F does an excellent job of reproducing smooth and fluid motion thanks to its advanced flickering capabilities. The panel can flicker at the rate of 720 Hz which can eliminate motion blur. Only a few panels in this price range can flash that fast, which is good, as the majority of viewers will not notice such fast flickering.

Additionally, unlike the overwhelming majority of TVs present in this price range, the X900F can perform local flickering which ensures that the flickering doesn't take its toll on the overall brightness. Worth noting that the regular flickering of an LED panel reduces its brightness by about a half which can de-saturate some highlights and degrade the image.

The dark room performance of the LG B8 is exceptional. The TV delivers saturated and inky dark scenes thanks to its high native contrast ratio and almost ideal black uniformity.

The LG B8 highly responsive and lag-free gaming experience because of the TV's exceptional motion handling capabilities and low input lag.

The motion looks clear and doesn't appear washed out thanks to the TV's fast pixel response time that allows the B8 to eliminate the artificial effect of motion blur. The TV's full pixel response time measures at only 1.1 ms - just a couple of TVs on the market can switch their colors that fast.

The input lag of the B8 is among the lowest among the high-end TVs, measuring at only 21 milliseconds.
