Hi
I'm looking to buy a new 55" OLED in the BF sales. I have narrowed my choice down to either the Philips 805 or Sony A8. I have been able to view the Sony in my local Currys, but they didn't have the Philips.
In terms of what is important, I currently don't have access to any 4k content although I plan to upgrade my Netflix. Picture quality is the most important feature with the majority of my viewing evolving around TV through a BT box, BT Sport and Netflix. I believe the Sony is meant to be superior at motion handling for sport, but I haven't been able to compare it to the Philips. I'm also interested in which set has the best upscaling capabilities. Sound quality is not an issue as I will bypass the tv sound systems by connecting it to my active speakers. The TV will live in the far corner of my living room, which means it is never in sunlight.
Has anybody compared the Sony and the Philips? I would welcome any advice on the best tv for my needs, as due to lockdown I will not be able to demo the Philips set.
Thanks
