If anyone is curious, the BRAVIA 8 is a slight upgrade to the A80L series. It's roughly 10% brighter, and it features a glossy panel instead of the semi gloss panel from the 55"-65" A80J, A80K, and A80L (minus the 83" model). The A95L is still better because it features a QD OLED panel. Lastly, it still features two HDMI 2.1 inputs if you have multiple consoles or you want to use external speakers.

TY. Will also add that it looks like RTINGS gave it a 8.9/10. [rtings.com]

"The Sony BRAVIA 8 is amazing for mixed usage. The TV is suitable for use in a bright room due to its very good SDR brightness and outstanding reflection handling. However, it also looks remarkable in a dark room thanks to its nearly infinite contrast ratio, with highlights that stand out in HDR content due to its good HDR brightness. It also has a wide viewing angle that makes it a fantastic choice for watching TV with a group. The TV's nearly instantaneous response time means fast motion has no noticeable blur behind it, and its advanced gaming features make it an outstanding option if you're looking for a TV to pair with modern consoles."

I *think* these are the right models? The overall is a 9.0 (LG) vs an 8.9 (Sony) so they're extremely similar.
https://www.rtings.com/tv/tools/compare/lg-c4-oled-vs-sony-bravia-8-oled/49541/58889?usage=1&thresho... [rtings.com]

Verdict
The Sony BRAVIA 8 OLED and the LG C4 OLED are very similar TVs, but the LG is better overall. The LG gets brighter in HDR, so highlights pop out more in HDR content. The LG also has better SDR pre-calibration accuracy and PQ EOTF tracking, so it's more accurate in both SDR and HDR. Finally, the LG supports up to 4k @ 144Hz, whereas the Sony only supports up to 4k @ 120Hz, so it's a bit better for PC gamers with high-end graphics cards.

I had the same question when it was c1 or bravia a80j. I went bravia. I'd do more research if I was you since different models now but I never had a problem with my bravia

At this point, we've gotten to where choosing between LG and Sony is going to come down to personal preference, since each TV/brand has 1 or 2 points higher in different categories. I stick with LG, since I like their interface and I cannot give up the magic remote. It sounds like such a small thing, but being able to point a cursor is so much faster than clicking buttons around. When people say it's just a gimmick, I feel they're the BlackBerry guy, thinking no one will want an iPhone, because they want a physical keyboard. Lol.

LG probably better value, esp if you can wait for after Black Friday. December seems to have best prices on TVs.

My 2.5 year old a80j from BB developed vertical lines roughly 3 months ago. Called Sony who responded out of warranty, we don't have anyone in the area to fix it, up to you to figure it out, call BB to see what they can do for you. After more discussion with them and "for being a loyal customer", they offered me the current version of the a80j for a discounted price of $995 and I send them my a80j. That deal was only good for 2 weeks. 3 weeks after this discussion, the power supply is toast and the TV does not work. I recommend extended warranty to all who purchase these and the only reason I didn't buy at Costco was I needed a 55" and they only sold 65" at the time. Thanks for listening.

Yep. Sony would have to make a TV that just absolutely blows LG out of the water, and even then, I'd still struggle with whether or not to make the switch. Every TV needs a remote like that.
