Samsung vs Sony
8 matched panels · 1.26 to 1.68 mm · specifications from both makers' datasheets
The two lineups side by side, then what the matched panels say about weight, power and what each maker publishes. Every figure is the maker's own; the planner adds nothing it cannot point to on a sheet.

Weight and draw are per square metre of cabinet, so different cabinet sizes compare fairly. Ranges run across every panel the maker has in the database, not only the matched ones.
What the sheets say
- Samsung and Sony overlap on 8 matched pairs between 1.26 and 1.68 mm; outside that band one of them has no comparable panel.
- Samsung is the lighter cabinet in 8 of 8 matched pairs, Sony in 0. Across their lineups that is 21 to 31 kg/m² against 41 to 46 kg/m².
- Samsung draws less at full white in 8 of 8 matched pairs, Sony in 0. Lineups: 321 to 772 W/m² against 574 to 755 W/m², which sets the circuit count.
- Cabinet formats: Samsung builds in 480×540, 480×720, 806.4×453.6, 1209.6×680.4 mm; Sony in 608×342, 610×343 mm. A shop that already owns one format keeps its bumpers and cases.
- A hanging limit is published for none of its 12 panels by Samsung and for none of its 8 panels by Sony; where it is not, the planner uses a conservative placeholder and says so.
- Both publish a typical draw for every panel here, so the typical kilowatt figure rests on the sheets, not on an estimate.
Matched panels, side by side
Each pair is two panels of comparable pitch, one from each maker, with the same wall built from both.
