The Samsung QN65Q6FNA vs Sony XBR65X850F review shows the brand’s possibilities. Both devices appeared on the market in the 2018 year. The first device belongs to the Q6F series that proposes an Ambient Mode and powerful processors. The second one is perceived as one of the most popular representatives of the X850F series, which has 120Hz native refresh rate and compact dimensions. Samsung is more expensive than Sony.
The Sony XBR65X850F vs Samsung QN65Q6FNA picture comparison shows that the first model can’t provide a user with a perfect image. There are faded colors and the objects on a screen are blurred. The adjustment doesn’t bring the desired effect. The second model has a very clear picture and the colors are similar to natural. At the same time, the Sony doesn’t have problems with picture reflecting, while Samsung’s screen may become black and bring the picture back in a few seconds.
The sound volume is one of the most important features I want to compare. Sony has very low sounds and even the maximum volume can’t deafen me. On the Samsung’s unit, it is enough a half of maximum volume possibilities to make me cover my ears. I guess the reason for it is the speaker’s power difference (40W versus 20W). The Sony’s Alexa performs the entire tasks faster than the Samsung’s assistant Bixby.
The Samsung QN65Q6FNA is supplemented with a slim brushed metal bezel that gives the unit a very modern look. The Sony XBR65X850F is made of plastic with an aluminum finish and the aesthetic impression is worse. The Samsung’s semi-gloss screen allows reflection minimizing and perceived contrast improving. The XBR65X850F doesn’t have such a peculiarity but it has great SDR and HDR brightness besides the QN65Q6FNA. Both devices are well-constructed and I don’t notice any problems with the build quality.
