When comparing Sony XBR65X850F vs Samsung UN65NU6900FXZA, their features seemed very similar. For example, both units have the same screen resolution and smart features. Since the Sony model is more expensive, I’ve decided to compare the TVs in detail to understand the reason for such price difference.
The Sony XBR65X850F is bright when it deals with the SDR content, but it lacks brightness for HDR format. Its contrast ratio is poor and no local dimming is implemented that makes the unit suitable only for dimmer rooms. Still, Sony’s viewing angles are large that’s why one can enjoy an accurate picture in a large room from any side. Its gray uniformity provides a great picture while watching sports. The TV also features a wide adjustable color scheme.
The Samsung UN65NU6900FXZA is remarkable for its high contrast ratio and great colors that save their accuracy in a dark room. However, some glare is visible if watching the TV in a bright room. This model comes with an average color scheme and poor viewing angles that are typical for VA displays. No dirty screen effect is visible.
When testing Samsung UN65NU6900FXZA vs Sony XBR65X850F, the latter’s fast response time was noted that gives flawless gaming experience. It features a refresh rate of 120 Hz that is necessary for high-quality soap opera effect. In terms of connectivity, the Sony XBR65X850F features 4 HDMI ports versus 2 ports of the Samsung UN65NU6900FXZA.
The UN65NU6900FXZA stands out because of its smooth and easy to navigate interface, but it lags sometimes if managing it not directly but from the compatible app.
Both models produce clear dialogs and balanced sound, but loudness and bass effect lack sp that TV requires external amplifiers.
The Sony XBR65X850F comes with a plastic stand with an aluminum finish. The cable management goes through the stand’s back legs. The TVs borders are thin and the TV is thin as well that makes its wall mounting perfect.
The Samsung UN65NU6900FXZA comes with low stands, so a soundbar might block a part of the screen. The TV is thin and its back panel is plain since all the port are located on the side.
