LG was the first to market with OLED and Sony uses LG panels. Sony is known to have the best video processor. For a 65" TV Sony is about 50% more than LG and you really may not see the difference IMHO.
However, it has been documented and observed that 2018 model LG OLED TVs have burnin. If you watch a channel like CNN for a long time and you change channel, you will see the CNN logo on the bottom right. I followed all the announcements by LG on the 2019 OLED TVs and I see no mention of a fix. So, buy it at your own risk.
What is the next best?
It is Quantom Dot LED. Samsung calls it QLED. You can get it for much less if you buy Vizio P series Quantum.
I own a Vizio P Series non-Quantum and it is more than OK. In fact a friend bought Vizio M series 65" for $800 and if I have to comment on visual quality with 10 for Vizio P Series non-Quantum, I would say Vizo M Series is a 7 and QLED or P series Quantum is probably a 12 and OLED a 15 (but there is burnin).
Want to get the best bang for the buck? Look into TCL 6 Series.
Do you need 8K? Hardly any content even at 4K for video. Forget about 8K. In fact, quite a bit of broadcast, cable and streaming is 720p and some 1080i, 1080p and I cannot tell the difference on 4k TV. My photos and video clips are the only use case for 4K TV. For 8K TV, the only use case would be photos. Unless you have lot of cash to burn and want to be the bleeding edge adopter, I would wait for 8K TV 65" to come down to $3k and then buy a 4K Quantum LED for a bargain. When LG and Sony do not even mention the burnin issue, I am not sure when they would find a solution.
Hope this helps a bit.
