The α8 processor sits below the C6's α11 — you give up some upscaling sharpness and AI scene optimization. The big 2026 milestone is that the B6 finally hits 1,000-nit peak in HDR, which previously was a C/G-tier number. Same 4× HDMI 2.1, same Dolby Vision IQ, same webOS. The OLED for budget-conscious cinema fans.

- Households who'd consider the C6 — the C6 is meaningfully better and discounts often close the price gap
