I think Sony is worth the wait.

Very cool indeed. Can't wait for the new TVs to drop.

Eeenh.... waiting six months only for them to release the exact same tv with different badging is a no for me..... I'll go for sharp/LG....matte finish and legs...heck no.....they need a design overhaul.... it's getting annoying now.....same A8 series oled since the H series🚮🚮🚮.... Samsung please release a new QDoled at the same price point.... laziness at its best....Sony tax and processing propaganda is long overused😂😂

A person receives money from Sony, courses and hospitality corruption! Don't take his word for it ​

Thumbs up for your channel!

Spring 2024 Sony OLED - A95L: No change with exception of price drop. A80L/M: Upgrade with brightness close to A95L. Slight price increase. A77L/M: Upgrade with XLCLEAR. Little to no price increase. New A90M - Very similar to A95L. Priced midway between A80L/M and A95

I agree. I have the same tv and I don't take for granted how beautiful the picture looks. There is just something special about it being the last flagship 4k led before miniled.

I cannot believe Sony is going above and beyond the X95L and A95L, the only thing that's good about them coming out with new tvs this year is that the L series will drop in price faster than u can say dimming zones. Thats the time to get one!

我也是，65寸x95j对于一般家用来说已经很棒了，miniled或者oled索尼电视应该是以后的选择

Now we just need to hope that one day the awesome tech and performance is in full force in every size of each of the models of their TV's, not just the largest sizes with the highest profit margins - for example the lower sized X95L's reportedly having noticeable performance decrease (blooming etc) in comparison to the godly 85inch version. the same premium models carrying the same premium price tags - just adjusted slightly for size, should also have the same premium performance and that's one of the few areas where Sony purposely falls short.

​@@whiskizyo2067 Blooming is overblown on many Sony Bravia LED/Mini TVs

@@whiskizyo2067 have you got links to those reports? it is bad if its true because the smaller sizes are not cheap either.

I also bought the X90J about 2 years ago and absolutely love it.

Lcd is better overall, no wrgb cold look ,, no qd-oled magenta push ,,, no possibility of burn in and image retention ; better color brightness than wrgb and longer life span than qd oleds .

Clarification and correction. X95L: 65" 480, 75" 720 and 85" 864 dimming zones. The 85" version is the most impressive not only because of dimming zones but because of the impressive native contrast panel of 5000:1 even with a wide viewing angle layer that reduces contrast by about 1000:1 which means this panel is really a 6000:1 panel. This LCD TV really is the closest thing to OLED.

@@LazyCrazyGuy Yeah, you're correct the 65 inch model had 480. Ironically the 75 inch has the most dimming zones per square inch, not the 85 inch. No one has seen the 65 or 75 inch A95L in the States but Vincent used one in his comparison and it looked pretty good against the reference monitor and even the G3. I know the 85 inch has a better panel but isn't 6,000 contrast ratio almost irrelevant when local dimming measures 200,000? It'd only come into play if local dimming was turned off which you would never want to do since the whole point of buying a X95L is for the outstanding local dimming. Have you seen a comparison of the 65 inch to the 85 inch X95L anywhere?

I agree. The X90L is a great TV but the viewing angles ruin it. No wide angle filter, so sitting even 15° off center makes the opposite side of the screen light up with blooming and lifted blacks. When two halves of the same TV look so different with the same image, something is wrong.

​@@techsamurai11yep native contrast means much less nowadays. I have the U8K ADS at home with a 2000:1 contrast ratio, and picked up the X90L to compare with its 5600:1. Turns out that really doesn't mean much when Hisense has over 10x the zones. After some tweaking, the difference in native contrast is basically unnoticeable. I'm sure the X95K/L are better though since they're MiniLED.

@@techsamurai11 I'm not sure where the reasoning for dimming zones per square inch became a discussion but it is backwards thinking and irrelevant. Let me give you an example. If you had a tv that was 10 inches and it had 25 zones each zone would be 1.74 width by .98 height. Compared to the 85X95L at 2.31 width by 1.54. Do you believe because the 10 inch screen has much smaller dimming zones it will have better blooming suppression and better local dimming control? It doesn't and that is because within that 10 screen it has to handle the same content which means if you took 864 boxes of a checkerboard pattern you would light up 6 boxes per every dimming zone on the 10 inch screen with 25 zones vs on the 864 85" set you would be able to turn off those zones for complete black level and keep white boxes completely lit with insane white bright. At the end of the day more zones means better control of light. Just like more pixels means a sharper picture regardless of size. Pixel density is another argument but no matter what an 8k pixel screen will always be better than a 2k pixel screen regardless of size. Moving on to the next point yes your argument would make sense about contrast but unfortunately you still have to remember that within each 2.5 inch square box (zone) there are a thousand plus pixels which means if you have a star in a black landscape a lower contrast panel will show the white light bleeding through black pixel because that area is illuminated. A higher contrast panel helps to hide the light that seeps through or actually containing it from seeping so it looks like a bright star next to a black space. On the AVS forums we have discussed and many owners aren't thrilled with the 65X95L because of low contrast it doesn't have the same punch and also it has gray blacks compared to deep inky blacks on the 85". The 75" is actually not bad though and a few owners who have both 75" and 85" have measured and found out that the 75" isn't that far off from the 85". The black levels are lower still but it's because of a lower contrast panel on 75". I think that one is 3500:1 or something like that. But they said it's a slight step down in terms of blacks. But other than that is very similar to the 85".

Thanks Nick!

That 12:08 and 12:11 is a massive improvement. Looks basically like twice the contrast and micro-contrast detail over X95L and same with brightness. I wouldn't be surprised that the "lead" the QDOLED and MLA have in the small specular highlights on a dark scene. Will be smaller or down right almost equal. That brightness difference was like looking at an X90L vs X95L. I am so stoked. Now lets just hope we get all the sizes this year.

I have a ZD9 and I'm desperately looking for something that I think I'd worthy to replace it. I'm tempted with A95L at the moment but I was watching Ozark through apple TV last night and the image quality was still blowing my socks off.

Yes because X93L lacks XR Clear which is a game changer

I agree, they have got to change that business model. I don't get what they are thinking with that. Can't even begin to image how many sales they would lose for people that would have chose them but didn't want to wait and see. And as you said the prices would come down for the other models making the prospect of paying even more, worse.

People that buy Sony continue to buy Sony. I hardly ever see a Sony tv customer go samsung or lg, but I see it the other way around.

I hope you realize that the new models of TVs roll out not all immediately. They have different models roll out every year between March-October. The holiday models come out near the end of the year for Black Friday which are (usually) going to be something with lower specs than their lowest model they usually make. People just always hear the, "Just bought this TV and a new one just came out after" comment and it's because they usually buy the TV at the discounted price around the Holidays or clearance time and see a new model come out not long after, but it's not always a newer BETTER model. At this point, on rare occasions do you see Sony roll out with a new Flagship model at the end of the year, and even then, it stays around for a few years. Like the Z9 model. Z9D came out at the end of 2016 and stayed for a few years to be replaced with the Z9F. Before that was the 950B which was still around through roughly 2016-2017 even though it was released in 2014.

@@deviantbuilds I did! I went from a Sony A80k to a LG G3 this past November. The difference is night and day.

Considering that the 2022 X95K is basically the same as 2023 X93L, there is a good chance that we will see the 2024 X90M with that kind of performance but with a much lower price, making it a great buy for a lot more people.

That would be nice wouldn't. IMO they can now make the X90 series MiniLED as well. In fact they could basically bring the X90 to the level of X95L. Because the difference there at 12:08 and the rest of that few second demo was massive. More than twice the contrast and brightness (at least sort of look like it). So it will still stand out far and above the X90 in that case.

@@loki76If they can control the backlight and push more brightness as it's more energy efficient, then they may not need MiniLed. If the X90M is better than the X93L and close to the X95L and has improved viewing angles, it's going to be the TV to beat in terms of value.

@@techsamurai11 I think they need the MiniLED to actually do that. Old LED tech means large LED lights and they can't do their "Sony thing" with it as well. It has limitations. Otherwise I think we would have seen 200-300 zone X90 models. Wouldn't it just be easier to transition X90 series to MiniLED as well. They can keep it cheaper and separate the flagship vs X90 series by keeping the older dimming panel on X90M (meaning the X95L backlight) and use the new for the X95M. Can see in the video it's basically twice as good. X90 is a bigger seller because more budget and if they offer something looking as good as X95L did last year. That would just be all around good for everyone. I just can't see an X90M with 80 Zones and old FALD when the X95M looks to be a big leap over X95L miniLED. The gap would be like going from X95 series and then X75 or something.

@@loki76 Yeah, I agree. It does depend on the cost of the new backlight panel vs the X95L or X93L's backlight. You're right, though. The X90 cannot remain unchanged especially as TCL and Hisense will certainly reveal new technologies as they also introduce higher-end models. Blooming is getting really, really old. We've been talking about it for 10+ years.

Agree 100%. Most likely their new and imrpoved stuff will be MiniLED. Thats fine by me, as long as we see a price cut to the A95L. :)

Hi, do you know if you can turn the tv on and off using the remote control but without pointing it at the sony x90k tv??

I think Sony uses their own kind of "quantum dots" so I don't think the colors would suffer. That said like we see on G3 with MLA. Most specular highlights are whiteish. So if they can reach that and still have deep color, it will be amazing.

​@@loki76Triluminos is their marketing name for Quantum Dots.

​@@loki76Sonys used Quantum Dot long before it was called that, that's why we never heard that marketing term by them because they've always called it something else, I've even had a Sony phone with their quantum tech(from a decade ago), it's practically in every LED TV they make, always has been But yeah TLDR; this is better for backlight isolation, but it'll still have some losses compared to completely self emissions solutions

@@ChroniclesofKToyoda They call it "Triluminous" and it's quantum dots. It's annoying when others say Sony doesn't have quantum dots because they don't use the name "quantum dots". They have their own solution using them. I have a Sony 900E and it has Triluminous and it's soon 7 years old. They had it before Samsung with their Qled or at least same time.

@@loki76 yup Sony had it first since forever for their reds & greens(they had additional tech for their blues IIRC), Hell my phone even had Mobile Bravia Engine from a decade ago, they were pushing tech on mobile that even other companies TVs didn't have But Sony's marketing being what it is, most folks won't really know half the tech' that's actually in them, whilst other brands flaunt these features heavy but that's also because for other brands things like this are new

Definitely. We can see how LG is trying to get in on that with their 83" MLA OLED. Since QDOLED is stuck at 77" they try to reach the market that like OLED but want bigger screens. But there is going to be a lot of big screens this year.

Samsung was making mediocre electronics then LG didn't exist

They do in past model, My Sony W800C Get Update From Lolipop to Oreo, and ended security patch on 2020.

Amazon has loads 4K 120HZ Dolby Vision support even 8K they have loads HDMI 2.1 ports up to 6 some

@@RobertK1993 and you read the reviews and VRR doesn’t work or flickering or black screens… which is why I was asking an expert. I’ve looked into the Amazon products. Also there is a lot of fake products that claim hdmi 2.1 but you read the reviews and they don’t work with ps5 , ps5 doesn’t recognize VRR support or 120hz/fps or they are not the full 48Gbps of hdmi 2.1.

It's because more than 99% of those that buy new TV's today will never actually need more than one (usable) HDMI 2.1 port. They have done studies on this now and most of those that buy TVs with four HDMI 2.1 ports never even bother using more than one of them at a time anyways. What people SAY they want on a new TV and what they end up actually USING are often two entirely different things. But don't worry, I'm sure Sony will be moving to four HDMI 2.1 ports soon enough.

Because they don't cater to "gamers". Gamers are overrated and over-focused on.

@@mhoroky true, but the gamer community that uses TVs for gaming grows substantially every year so I'm sure you will see Sony doing more things to accommodate them going forward. Their new Game Bar introduced this past year is a prime example of that. I'm sure that will continue to get updated with new features over time as it has been very well received so far and many felt that it was something that was LONG overdue. I think Sony finally got the message there on that (Hint: TV Gamers want in-game controls on the TV - and a LOT of them!) Hopefully Sony will be adding an FPS counter to their game bar here very soon as well.

@@mhoroky Clearly, but their competitors do. Both LG and Samsung advertise their TV's as being great for gaming because of their HDMI 2.1 Ports. It'd be nice if Sony followed suit.

Same here. It shows up on my phone and tablet, but not here on my desktop.

I would wait now that I saw that. The problem with the X90L is that it has 80 dimming zones and worse viewing angles. The X93L has 320 dimming zones, better angles (not as good as X95L) but is missing the new XR processor features and it's more expensive. It sounds like next year's X90M will have a better backlight and more dimming zones or control over them and might also yield higher brightness. We'll have to wait and see how much of an improvement it is but if it pushes the X90 close to o over the X93 then it would be worth the wait. Then the question is how much will the X93 with 320 dimming zones improve as it will get the new processor as well? We may be seeing the X93 compete favorably with the C4 in darks and have zero issues with brightness.

@@techsamurai11 thank you very much for the suggestion.. I normally would wait but my Hisense died after 2 years of owning it... Terrible - never buying them again because the TCL I bought which is 5 years old now is running just fine. So not sure how much longer I'm willing to hold off for the new Sony releases before I get tired of not having a tv in my bedroom haha.

@@shawnmathew825That's frustrating. The X90L is a great TV and if you're watching in a bedroom directly on, it's perfect but the X93L might be slightly better. I still use my 2014 Sony in my living room but I'll probably upgrade next year.

He said no such thing he said they are just releasing more Mini LED TVs

I agree but doubt they would do it. It would bring both the cost and performance too close to the A95L. Also the LG C4 won't have MLA so no competitive pressure to add it.

​@@bearclaw5115how about A90m ?

They need to add something to the A80. The C4 is going to be eaten alive by LEDs next year.

@@techsamurai11 like a heatsink 😅

What they need is to add is a glossy screen. The glossy screen does make the picture more vibrant.

Why not buy the best Tv.....Sony.

You and I are in the same boat my friend. I've saved $6000 and am just stalking for the very best I would love to grab sonys mini-LED but to your point by that point the 83' G4 will be on sale. It's a tough choice, sony will have to impress me big time to sway me from the 83' MLA.

😊 I used to buy everything from Sony . I had their laptops everything . Years later d fav thing I liked about their laptop I thought so premium I realize they were NOT produced by Sony . They were made by -- SHARP ! Apparently their monitors mostly made by Sharp n Samsung . U better check it out :):)

Also Sony’s most premium LED the got their LED popular innitially ,,,, 100🎉% Sony LED TVs were made by Sharp n Sharp Aquos , Sony just container n adding software on it . Sharp Aquos kept the Best “Quatrum “ panel (4 true BASE colors - extra sub pixel yellow vs Sony RGB ) in d house . So Hisense bought Sharp Tv jn 2014 , it still retains a lot of patterns . Hisense tv led technology r more like Sony Early 2010 2011 flagship colors than modern day Sony Blue/magenta Pestle tint 😊

lol!!!
