I had an opportunity to test and compare LG OLED65B8PUA vs 65SK8000PUA. The LG OLED65B8PUA model is from the B8 series, while LG 65SK8000PUA belongs to the SK8000. Both series include other high-performance TVs. These are 2018 year TV models. Both solutions are from the high price category since you need to spend more than $1,000.
These TVs use different display types – OLED65B8PUA uses an OLED display, versus 65SK8000PUA that uses an IPS-type display.
Both models support the modern 4K video standard and HDR. The key difference between LG 65SK8000PUA vs OLED65B8PUA is that OLED65B8PUA uses an OLED display, which guarantees a high-contrast rate preserving the saturated black color. However, the 65SK8000PUA model features a Nano cell display that improves the color accuracy and widens the viewing angle. Both models support various dynamic range formats, like Dolby Vision HDR.
Both models use the LG artificial technology feature – ThinQ that can control compatible smart home devices. These TVs also has the local dimming feature that can enhance the image contrast. These TVs have built-in speakers and support the Dolby Atmos format.
These TVs can access various online services using the Wi-Fi modules that assure a stable, high-speed connection.
The playback is completely lag- and stutter-free due to the processor used. It can also change sharpness and colors in real-time using complex algorithms. Both TVs support the Smart TV/ Magic TV remote.
These TVs have very stable stands (OLED65B8PUA has a rectangular-shaped one, while 65SK8000PUA has an arch-shaped one), but they can be wall-mounted. They have a very thin frame. The frame of the 65SK8000PUA model has a brushed metal texture.
The dimensions are 57x34.48x8.66 in for OLED65B8PUA and 57.29x36.09x12.5 in for 65SK8000PUA (with the stand, which is around 2-4 in high). Both models have the same amount of HDMI ports – 4 and 3 USB. Both TVs are easy to use.
