QUESTION
Is the Sony Bravia 8 worth it over the LG C4 OLED?
For a new TV, the LG C4 OLED usually lands around $1,100–$1,600 depending on size, while the Sony Bravia 8 often runs about $1,400–$2,000. In other words, the Bravia 8 is commonly $200–$500 more for similar sizes. If you’re shopping used/refurb, expect roughly $850–$1,250 for the C4 and $1,050–$1,550 for the Bravia 8. Check sold/completed listings before buying because TV pricing changes quickly with sales, size, and season.
Is the Sony Bravia 8 worth it over the LG C4?
- Yes, sometimes — if you mostly watch movies/TV, care about Sony’s better processing, motion, and upscaling, and the price gap is small.
- Usually no — if you game a lot, want more HDMI 2.1 flexibility, or just want the better value.
- Rule of thumb: if the Bravia 8 is only about $100–$200 more than the C4 in the same size, it can be worth it for movie-first buyers. If it’s $300+ more, the C4 is usually the smarter buy.
Quick recommendation
- Pick LG C4 if you want the safer all-around OLED and the better value.
- Pick Sony Bravia 8 if your priority is film-like image quality, motion handling, and upscaling from lower-quality sources.
Practical pricing takeaway
- Good deal on LG C4: roughly 10–20% below typical street price for the size.
- Good deal on Sony Bravia 8: roughly $100–$200 above the C4 at the same size is still reasonable for movie-focused buyers.
- Walk away if: the Bravia 8 costs $300+ more than the C4 and you’re not specifically paying for Sony’s processing.
