Which TV should I be buying?

CarlF · 17 Jul 2019 at 22:43

Hi all,

Interested in upgrading my current TV at home and have two in mind.

Sony XF9005 or LG Oled55B8SLC

Looking at a budget of under £1000.

My main uses are general HD TV/Netflix and gaming.

The gaming side is important to me and I have a PS4 Pro so would need to be suited to that.

Can anybody recommend which one to choose or recommend a different tv they’d go for and why?

Thanks for any advice

Personally I would go for the B8, it’s an excellent TV for the money. The operating system is far superior to the Sony as well.

For 1080p content I believe it also has a better response time over the Sony (almost half!).

The XF9005 would be, and was, my pick.

Its a wonderful screen at any of the sizes

The PS4 Pro always outputs in 4K and upscales 1080p content so the response time wouldn't be an issue.

The B8 all day long.

can you get a B8 for under £1K?

you can't go wrong with either tv. both have their pro's and cons.

both are very good tv's. it's like saying what should i pick from a porsche 911 and a m3. both are good cars.

I use my E8 and haven’t had a problem? It’s fantastic.
