Samsung S95H OLED vs Sony Bravia 8 II
Get the Samsung S95H. Unless films are what you watch most: the Bravia 8 II's natural picture and Dolby Vision suit them, for less.
Samsung S95H OLED
Samsung's 2026 flagship OLED: the brightest OLED picture yet, a glare-free matte screen and four 165Hz HDMI ports.
Sony Bravia 8 II
Sony's QD-OLED: perfect blacks, rich colour and the most natural, film-like picture, now far below its launch price.

RTINGS rates the S95H higher: it's much brighter, its matte screen handles reflections far better, and all four HDMI ports do 4K 165Hz with lower input lag. The Bravia 8 II has superb processing, Dolby Vision and a very accurate film picture, but it's only decent in a bright room.

- —You game, especially on more than one console.
- —You want the brightest HDR.
