I'm looking for a 55-inch TV in India, budget around ₹65–70k, and I'm currently confused between the Sony Bravia 2 II (K-55S25BM2) and LG QNED82 (55QNED82BLA/BXA).

I went to a showroom and watched the same Bollywood song/video on both TVs.

Interestingly, I personally preferred the Sony quite a bit:

Sony Bravia 2 II

• Much more natural-looking picture
• Skin tones/colours looked realistic
• Less “processed” or oversaturated
• Reflections from the showroom lights were noticeably lower

LG QNED82

• Much more punchy/vivid
• Looked somewhat over-processed/“chrome filtered” to my eyes
• Showroom lights reflected more prominently
• Obviously has much stronger specs on paper (Mini LED, 120Hz, 144Hz VRR, Dolby Vision, HDMI 2.1/4K120)

The Sony is around ₹67k and the LG is around ₹65k where I'm looking.

My usage will mainly be Netflix/Prime/YouTube, movies, sports and general TV, with a possibility of getting a PS5 later. I'm more concerned about picture quality, natural colours, reflections, reliability and long-term ownership than having the maximum specifications.

I previously had a Mi TV that gave me a bad experience, so I'm trying to avoid another purchase I'll regret.

Questions for owners/users:

1. If you've used either of these TVs for several months, how is the long-term reliability?
2. How is the LG QNED82's black uniformity/backlight bleeding/DSE in actual use?
3. Does the LG's vivid/processed look get better after calibration or changing picture mode?
4. How good is the Sony's upscaling and picture processing with regular 1080p/720p content?
5. Is the Sony's 50Hz/no VRR/no 4K120 a significant disadvantage if I eventually buy a PS5?
