I heavily agree. The G4 is overhyped. It’s a great TV, but I’ll never pick a fucking woled over qd-oled. Also, i don’t subscribe to any of this “processing” bullshit. I don’t really have any experience with Sony’s “superior processing,” and i’ve never really seen these high end televisions side by side, so my opinion on this really doesn’t matter, but the only time I ever want any kind of “processing” on my image is if any upscaling is going on, or for tone mapping. I really don’t understand how sharpening works, but I mostly want the signal going to my display to be unaffected. I always hear about “processing” and I think it’s all placebo. Show me some actual evidence of this processing instead of telling me “i can definitely see more clarity here, i just see more of that 3d pop.” Lol sorry for my rant.
I have had the G4 for 2 weeks now, for me the best TV. Samsung, I dont like the matte panel and lack box. Sony Bravia, only two HDMI 2.1 ports and does not support 1440 for gaming.
This just confirms that I should go with the S95D for my new apartment which has a lot of ambient sunlight from floor to ceiling windows in the living room. Thanks!
One of the attendees of MWAVE made a great video about his experience of this comparison. His channel is called Spencer's Stuff, I recommend anyone watching this video to check out his video next. He gives a pretty solid overview of how he thought all the tv's performed across the different scenes. This experience convinced him to buy the Bravia 9 despite the fact that the 65' was used, which is the least performant Bravia 9 variant.
who in their right mind would want to deal with a flat image with blooming, bad viewing angles and less 3D Pop/Depth than even the Bravia 8 G4 and A95L are simply on another level than Bravia 9. Hence they are rated 9.2 on Rtings.
Thank you fomo and Brian. It was a pleasure to meet both of you at MWave! The full line up of TVs you arranged allowed me to fully appreciate each technology type and how they individually excelled. The Bravia 9 so thoroughly impressed me even though I've been an OLED fan over the past 5 years.
Nice to see an LED in the mix. I love LED brightness, but went over to the dark side of OLED a few years ago lol. Not sure I could go back, but never know what the future holds for TV tech, always exciting. Thank you guys for you all your work, to entertain us and help us make some big decisions!
But the problem with the oleda tvs is that they can't keep the peak brightness for long. I have own many Oleds and after a while the panels dims which is annoying in my opinion so that's the reason I am thinking on getting the TCL QM851 but we'll see.
The LG G4 is the OLED that will dim the least while watching content over time. According to RTINGS, it can sustain a little over 300 nits of brightness in a full 100% window (in SDR) which is higher than any other OLED on the market. Most of them cap out at around 200 nits. It still can’t hold a candle to miniLED TVs though. Most of those can sustain 600 nits or higher full screen brightness. If you really hate ABL I’d just go for a miniLED. 300 nits still isn’t that much (especially in a bright environment) so dimming will be noticeable. Also keeping the brightness high in a WOLED panel is only possible by washing out the image due to the over brightening of the white sub-pixel. And OLED pixels are organic so they degrade over time. That brightness definitely won’t be as strong after a couple of years of consistent usage
@@FenixPajarito everyone has an opinion, don't like the Tizen OS and the over vivid modes. I really like the 3D pop and that is only a thing the Lg have.
These didn't look like this in person at all. A camera simply can't capture multiple TV's at the same time, let alone different types of TV's. There is major color shifts on OLED and QD OLED compared to what you see with your eyes. Anyone who chooses a TV based on something like this is making a mistake, especially if it's because of perceived color temperature.
@@paulcox2447 of course. Adjusting the camera to make the MiniLEDs look good would compromise the OLEDs and vice versa. Each technology type has their strengths and weaknesses and you have to see them in person to make an informed determination.
Wow look how good the g4 looks! Then I’d look at the S95D and it would look even better… QDOLED is really a spectacular technology and an upgrade over WOLED.
It really is. And the latest 0 '23, 0'24 minileds from Samsung also are getting so slept ON, at least in TH-cam for some weird reason since in the stores are getting sold as fresh bread 🍞. The QN95D is a mind blowing TV meanwhile everyone is talking about the Bravia 9 which is an amazing TV too no doubt but I still think the QN95D looks better in any aspect, especially off angles and HDR gaming wise. Also the local dimming in Samsung is on par with the Bravia 9 one if not better in some aspects since it covers more percentage of the black levels than Bravia 9 does and the blooming control is a little bit better in Samsung. Whoever tells you otherwise is just a fanboy, fanboying around since I talk from personal experience and not out of my ass like lots do.
QDOLED have issues with burnin RTINGS did test a lot of panels and found this to be true. Personally, I want a 83 inch and not 77 inch. Otherwise I would give it a try but will be looking in real life to see if I can tell the difference. I'm not going to pay a lot of bucks just so I can call for a repair because of the burn in. My eyes are set on LG G4 83" .
You should have left them all on the similar setting. TCL was at a disadvantage bring in vivid mode. All that did was make it a light canon that wasn't able to look natural.
They only had one LCDTV on display apart from Bravia nine, is the QM8. The rest are OLED . He put them on dynamic mode throughout and says most people watch sports in dynamic mode!😂
The Bravia nine it’s too expensive damn three grand that’s a lot of money for a TV and I don’t understand why these flagship TVs don’t start at 55 inches like the TCLQM8 or the Bravia nine no 55 inch if you want a Sony 55 inch LG TV you have to go to the Bravia seven
The thing about reflections - came across a post by one guy who explained it very well - reason why we don’t notice faint reflections because of different focal lengths when you focus your eyes on the picture you would not see the reflection unless is high enough to force you to change your eyes focal length
Coming from a 2017 Samsung 60" LCD, I only stream, sports and Blu-ray, NO GAMING and In the tropics with five 5' windows in living room. I also don't watch TV in the dark - minimum is with ambient light. My room size is 13' x 13 - no off angle issues expected. I will be buying the 85'' Sony Bravia 9. This choice is based on the wisdom I got from you, and Brian - consider ones "Use Case". Thanks a million FOMO. Big up yaself sametime!!
Have a C2 83" and a A95 55", both are excellent. its difficult to say some is much better than the other. The 95L colors are brighter, which is great, but it's not even close to a night a day comparison. The iPad Pro Tandem OLED display is amazing and that display is technically WB-OLED, well 2 of them sandwiched together. If you have not seen one, go see it! Apparently Dell just ordered 100k tandem oled panels, not sure for what products. One thing I noticed about the iPad Pro display is that it is bright even when the brightness is low or at the lowest.
It’s worth noting to all you saying that the QM8 is too bright, that camera can’t even properly capture the brightness especially when the exposure is set up for LCDs and OLEDs. It’s not blown out, it’s the camera. Source: I own it, doesn’t look like that in person.
For OLEDS(and the leds) on this video throughout - it was the A95L as King STILL over G4/S95D(they will mention them as favorites cuz sales - LOL) in 2024 immediately followed by the B3. The 65 B3 over the 65 C4 off angle shown throughout was pretty extraordinary and let you know that if you can pick one up for $1k(Costco) - DO IT. The B9 > TCL - however at the price point it's hard to say it's worth it until Black Friday prices. OLED is clearly > Mini-Led regardless of brand. The value electronics shoot out of 2024 coupled with a possible larger B-Patch to the A95L might yet again make it the King of 2024(even though it's a late 2023 model - not sure if technicality of 2023 rules it out).
As always sony has the best picture but here in france you can buy the 85”tcl around 1500€ (with back money) the 85” bravia 9 @5000€. . Samsung 77” s95D @3800 and 83” lg g4 @5400€. Size matters
YES!!! I knew immediately which one was the cheap model because it’s so bright and blown out. The TCL. I called it before you guys even showed the list. I’m getting good at this. You guys have educated me. ❤
Hi Fomo. I had purchased an A80L 83" after how good Brian's looked. But it had a great color, but it had a bad panel with grey vertical streaks. And also had some audio Gremlins. So I've had my bravia 9 85" for 2 days now, and it looks alsome. I've been getting the calibration dialed in, and I'm loveing it. Thanks for all of your and Brian's videos. I had to go with the poor man's g4, lol 😅
Hey, FOMO. Bravia 9, 85 inches, 50 field of view, 6'7 feet away on a sofa which is as long as the TV will the people sitting at the end be fine or will they start to lose colour & bloom? Cheers, awesome video! The hype is real!
From Watching your stream the other Brian said most people who walk into room thought the A95L was the bravia 9 . I betting thought the oled was better.
Why no QN900D? It is supposed to be a beast at upacaling and the 8k should allow you to sit even closer. I know there is little 8k content. But it still seens gorgeous in the showroom. It would have been interesting to see in the shootout. I thought Brian said it was better than the Bravia 9 at 85".
We WIN us everyday consumers. I picked up a 77’ LG G3 $2800! It is beautiful. I may not beat anything in this video but I am am having the best viewing experience of my life 😊
Ain't going to lie I'm partial to the LG C3. Since I upgraded from the C1 to the C3 I have been extremely extremely happy.. the better brightness is made all the difference

This answered one of my questions regarding viewing modes. I've been wondering if people change modes based on content. That would be totally annoying to me. I would prefer "a set it and forget it" mode. Do owners actually change modes all the time? My viewing habits are made up of a lot of the usual streaming services, a lot of TH-cam tutorials, and some live sports during football season and some soccer. I very very rarely will watch DVDs anymore (Standard or Blu-ray). I've mentioned that I'm still watching a 2009 46" Samsung local dimming TV that still looks fine to me. So anything would be a significant upgrade. I don't cycle tech with that kind of price point every 5-6 years if it still works.
Your room was grrrreat & was cool seeing them all next to each other. G4 looked best to me but didn't look that closely as I'm happy w/ my c2 83. Next year I will as my upstairs TV needs to go.
Why have C4 and especially B3 which for sure aren't the best from company on display when you could have displayed Hisense U8N, Samsung QN95D, QN900D, Sharp XLED or OLED etc
If I have a budget around 5k to spend on a new tv. What tv should I go for? Immersion vs picture quality? Due to my living room I sit around 10-12ft from the tv. We mostly watch tv shows, sports. Our living room is bright. We also love watching movies at home (at night) trying to get the home theater experience. I am really considering size over quality. With that being am I really going to notice a big difference in 86inch ish to 100 inch?
OLED is the best tech in smaller sizes but some are afraid to say that the smaller OLEDs are no comparison to the emersion of the 98-100-110 and 115" mini leds. Tech is very close but sizes are not close in competition.
who the hell needs those stadium sized TV's. you'd need a massive room and have to sit so far away or risk serious long term eyesight damage. (I guess not a concern for naive young people, but later... 💀)
also the image of the G4 and QM8 is not even close...they are worlds apart in image quality, the Alpha Gen a11 is a thing of beauty, even surpassed Sony's XR Cognitive chip.
@@TheAntifluencer cool opinion.. and people don't really "need" a tv to begin with, its a luxury item. I've got the space for it so that's why I have it. Ive had both the G4 and now the QM8 and its fine enough for me, and I'm happy. Eyesight will go out over time regardless, it comes with age or outside factors like an IED giving you tbi and deteriorating vision but I digress.. hell drinking even to much water is bad for you.. point is life on earth is short my friend, so , so long as your happy with something, maybe don't be so bitter and try justifying your reason or not over another's.. specs are specs and sure the OLED is superior technology and nobody's going to argue the G4 on paper has the better specs over the QM8.. but coming from someone who's had both.. I like the QM8 better.. but that's just like my opinion.. man..
I haven’t seen a video where the QM8 wasn’t completely over exposed. With both the g4 and qm8 optimally calibrated for a dark room, how big is the quality difference? I am leaning towards the immersive size of the qm8, but these online reviews make it look so bad on screen compared to the g4
My camera couldn't capture its full brightness - it's not clipping just my camera sucks LOL dynamic range required to capture and properly expose everything would have to be closer to 20 stops not the 11 stops my FX30 had available
NOPE, unless you really need it and a 2.1 VRR switcher doesn't cut it and you are assuming that the MediaTek feature is properly implemented - don't assume it will work perfectly in year one!
So after all is said and done, and the tv's being out for a couple of months now, which tv is the one to get, or is the smarter buy ... G4 or A95L? Which one is the best package when it comes to brightness, games, movies, processing, motion and most important, price? Or does the QD panel with its bright and colorful colors on the A95L (or S95D) still trump everything, at the end of the day?
A95L is better than the Samsung in so many clear ways. Build quality. Picture processing (motion, detail. Upscaling). Dolby vision. Sound quality. Smart TV, the fact with Google you can download whatever apps you want with Tizen goodluck with that.
I am sure that you considered this question and had your reasons. This did not appear to be a blind test. Could you add an explanation in the description? Not saying it was wrong, but I would like to understand your decision.
As an A95L owner. It’s nice to see it’s still right there with the S95D and G4. Slightly brighter is the G4 but the color volume still isn’t quite on the level. I think the Bravia 9 comes into play at the 85 inch size for sure. The price difference between that and an 83 G4 if I was in the heavyweight division would definitely have me consider the 9. I know every Best Buy tv is on vivid but the 85 Bravia 9 I saw on display looked amazing.
After seeing the S95D washout that sunrise/sunset compared to all of the other TVs, it makes me wonder why it would be a choice. Seems as if Samsung jacked up brightness at the expense of bright accuracy. Also given that it is that bright, without MLA, when will it suck the brightness out of the panel to manage burn-in. It still seems to me that FOMO is on the payroll for Samsung. I wonder what will happen when Dolby Vision content with peak brightness of 4000 nits is released. These videos really don’t allow the watcher to fairly evaluate the pictures because there isn’t enough time and the images are not static.
Sony Bravia 9 was the best. Can any of these TV's passthrough Dolby Atmos from files on a Plex server? How do I weed out TV's that only support Atmos from streaming and Bluray disk?
I was surprised at how much better the S95D is over the S90C in every way. I have both and calibrated both, playing with settings. It is crazy better. Gaming color luminance, overall brightness, Tone mapping, HDR impact.. just everything
Not a surprise at all here, Bravia 9 was so overhyped to the Moon, it was bound to fail to the masterfully crafted Alpha Gen a11 which surpassed Sony's XR Cognitive in terms of raw 3D Depth, contrast, Details clarity and resolution. The G4 is simply THE best looking TV since the A95L...it's not close. Rtings 9.2 score against a 8.8 score of Bravia 9. Sorry big gap !
This was far from a "shootout". It's just a general, quick-and-dirty, side-by-side comparison at a trade show. The real shootout will be the Value Electronics "King of TV" event on Aug. 3rd. That will almost certainly come down to the A95L vs the Bravia 9 for best TV. However, since they are going to have two separate winners this year, one for LCD and one for OLED, you are very likely to see Sony walk away with the crown in both categories.
Right now there are no decent HDR monitors atleast without significant drawbacks. I’m hoping that will change next year. Either OLED’s with decent brightness or Neo QLED with very little lightbleed
hell yea. easiest call of any year, there is just no worthy opponent from Sony for LG this year. 2021 A90J vs G1, 2022 A95K vs G2 vs S95B 2023 A95L vs G3 vs S95C all way closer
This made me more confused. Do I buy the Bravia 9 for the upscaling low bit rate sports or the G4 or something else if the tv is going to be in use all the time...
Well the Bravia 9 has better upscaling for low bit rate content. It's also brighter so got SDR content you'll get a better experience. G4 will be better with all the lights off but won't be as realistic and does still have the OLED limitations.
Dear Fomo, I’m looking for a 65” tv for the well lit family room with wide viewing angles. I have found an lg C3 for $1499 or an A80L for $1599. Mostly will be watching sports on TH-cam tv along with some casual viewing while cooking etc. our layout places the tv by a large window with lots of natural light but no direct sunlight (blinds are also available)… Will I notice a difference with Sony’s xr clear when watching football this fall on NFl Sunday ticket? Or is OLED not the choice for a brighter room? I have an 85” x90L for a basement setup and it’s phenomenal
A80L better than the C3 for the content you like including football. Whether it's bright enough depends on what you're coming from? If an older LCD TV, then the A80L has a similar brightness but if recent miniLED then you may have to go with the S90C 77" or 65"

@@Pedjatorque First LG TV I have bought in my life. I did buy also two weeks ago the first LG fridge/freezer combo to our investment apartment. Based on my research, the G4 is simply the best all around picture quality out there. Better than S95D, A95L or B9.
I’m from Australia and LG had a massive sale last week, 83” G4 RRP $10,000aud down to $6200aud + a sound bar. Gotta wait 3-4 weeks for it to arrive but :(
When samsung s90d was released there was a doubt about which one was woled and qdoled. Id like to see a comparisson between two s90d but one woled and one qdoled to see if theres a big difference.
you don't want the WOLED, in that case just buy a LG C4, Bravia 8 or Panasonic/Philips . Unless you like the Samsung's OS and gaming. Most countries getting 55 as a QD-OLED , many the 65 as QD-OLED , very few the 77" as a QD-OLED . You can tell which by the model name.Each region is slightly different . Ie samsung's WOLEDS are nothing special , just buy the cheapest ) non-MLA or last years G3 or a bit more for better processing
@@nimblegoat i know which one is qdoled and which is woled. I just wanted to see the difference. But the way you are woled is terrible comparings. Thank you.
@@diego1294 I don't think it's terrible. Most people would be very happy with it. But I think if you want to buy a Samsung then you would want a QD-OLED . Plus the other companies have been doing WOLED longer. Sure samsung does phones etc, but that's rgb and probably different processing again . If I could get a 83" Samsung S90D very cheap, then its sweet. I think other buying decisions are more important. These TVs will improve a lot over the next 10 years , plus mini LCD, plus cheap large screen printed RGB will come etc - so is it best to go large now flagship, or a last years 77" bargain and hold off a few years to go big on a full BT2020 , 4000Nit TV. The average consumer is not an upgrader, they buy a new TV when old one fails, or want a 2nd one . People arguing B9 vs S95D vs G4 is funny to me , as next year's' TVs will beat all 3 , and they start there ongoing arguments for months all again . All 3 are very good and all seem to have very happy owners . Plus no point TV being the "best" if you don't like using it, or it meets your needs any better. Weird as people buy cars on overall package , and don't say ICE is old tech , or that car is crap as only 465Hp
A95L is technically a 2024 TV, it came out very late in 2023 and it still costs more than the G4 and S95D. Bravia 9 is not a worthy 2024 Sony TV, MiniLED can't compete.
about thw burn in, i guess they mean that there's less chance for a burn in, due to the white subpixel which can make the whites really bright without too much strain

It literally lost and was behind the S95D.
It really is. And the latest 0 '23, 0'24 minileds from Samsung also are getting so slept ON, at least in TH-cam for some weird reason since in the stores are getting sold as fresh bread 🍞. The QN95D is a mind blowing TV meanwhile everyone is talking about the Bravia 9 which is an amazing TV too no doubt but I still think the QN95D looks better in any aspect, especially off angles and HDR gaming wise. Also the local dimming in Samsung is on par with the Bravia 9 one if not better in some aspects since it covers more percentage of the black levels than Bravia 9 does and the blooming control is a little bit better in Samsung. Whoever tells you otherwise is just a fanboy, fanboying around since I talk from personal experience and not out of my ass like lots do.

QDOLED have issues with burnin
RTINGS did test a lot of panels and found this to be true.
Personally, I want a 83 inch and not 77 inch. Otherwise I would give it a try but will be looking in real life to see if I can tell the difference.
I'm not going to pay a lot of bucks just so I can call for a repair because of the burn in.
My eyes are set on LG G4 83" .
Wow a95l still pops up😮
luminence blooming around subtitles is huge problem of Sony :)
You should have left them all on the similar setting. TCL was at a disadvantage bring in vivid mode. All that did was make it a light canon that wasn't able to look natural.
Huh, curious why you opted to not include the Hisense U8N.
Exactly.!!!👍👍 Where is Hisense U8N?
They only had one LCDTV on display apart from Bravia nine, is the QM8. The rest are OLED . He put them on dynamic mode throughout and says most people watch sports in dynamic mode!😂
Probl scared it would beat sony
The Bravia nine it’s too expensive damn three grand that’s a lot of money for a TV and I don’t understand why these flagship TVs don’t start at 55 inches like the TCLQM8 or the Bravia nine no 55 inch if you want a Sony 55 inch LG TV you have to go to the Bravia seven
The thing about reflections - came across a post by one guy who explained it very well - reason why we don’t notice faint reflections because of different focal lengths when you focus your eyes on the picture you would not see the reflection unless is high enough to force you to change your eyes focal length
Coming from a 2017 Samsung 60" LCD, I only stream, sports and Blu-ray, NO GAMING and In the tropics with five 5' windows in living room. I also don't watch TV in the dark - minimum is with ambient light. My room size is 13' x 13 - no off angle issues expected. I will be buying the 85'' Sony Bravia 9. This choice is based on the wisdom I got from you, and Brian - consider ones "Use Case". Thanks a million FOMO. Big up yaself sametime!!
You chose wisely, I'd do the same in your situation
Have a C2 83" and a A95 55", both are excellent. its difficult to say some is much better than the other. The 95L colors are brighter, which is great, but it's not even close to a night a day comparison. The iPad Pro Tandem OLED display is amazing and that display is technically WB-OLED, well 2 of them sandwiched together. If you have not seen one, go see it! Apparently Dell just ordered 100k tandem oled panels, not sure for what products. One thing I noticed about the iPad Pro display is that it is bright even when the brightness is low or at the lowest.
It’s worth noting to all you saying that the QM8 is too bright, that camera can’t even properly capture the brightness especially when the exposure is set up for LCDs and OLEDs. It’s not blown out, it’s the camera. Source: I own it, doesn’t look like that in person.
Old School has it that perfect sitting distance is the min distance at which you can see everything happening without moving your eyes.
The TCL QM8 has higher contrast and the best value from all of them. TCL and Hisense is giving them a run for their money.
Yeah just purchased the TCL Q6 and absolutely love it!
Pretty wild that even when just barely off axis, the S95D is noticeably brighter than every other tv shown.
For OLEDS(and the leds) on this video throughout - it was the A95L as King STILL over G4/S95D(they will mention them as favorites cuz sales - LOL) in 2024 immediately followed by the B3. The 65 B3 over the 65 C4 off angle shown throughout was pretty extraordinary and let you know that if you can pick one up for $1k(Costco) - DO IT. The B9 > TCL - however at the price point it's hard to say it's worth it until Black Friday prices. OLED is clearly > Mini-Led regardless of brand. The value electronics shoot out of 2024 coupled with a possible larger B-Patch to the A95L might yet again make it the King of 2024(even though it's a late 2023 model - not sure if technicality of 2023 rules it out).
G4 for the win, not upgrading this year though. G5 will be mine next year
Jesus may come before then. Repent and be ready.
Still love my 60 in Pioneer Elite Kuro. 100% color accuracy cant be beat on Pure mode
White balance looks different on the LCD TVs versus OLED.
That's the camera. OLED pushes blue on camera and QD OLED pushes red.
As always sony has the best picture but here in france you can buy the 85”tcl around 1500€ (with back money) the 85” bravia 9 @5000€. . Samsung 77” s95D @3800 and 83” lg g4 @5400€.
Size matters
YES!!! I knew immediately which one was the cheap model because it’s so bright and blown out. The TCL. I called it before you guys even showed the list. I’m getting good at this. You guys have educated me. ❤
Which TV won the competition?
The most impressive TV was the S95D, even though I don't like the matte finish.
G4 slayed the S95D, clarity, depth not close. Samsung bad processing and upscaling.

Hi Fomo. I had purchased an A80L 83" after how good Brian's looked. But it had a great color, but it had a bad panel with grey vertical streaks. And also had some audio Gremlins. So I've had my bravia 9 85" for 2 days now, and it looks alsome. I've been getting the calibration dialed in, and I'm loveing it. Thanks for all of your and Brian's videos. I had to go with the poor man's g4, lol 😅
Hey fomo. Ive got a 77in a80L do you think that the bravia 9 is a step up? I saw it at bestbuy and it looked impressive 😊
From what I personally think, we need an more focused review between TCL, Bravia 9, Samsung A95L and the G4. 😅
Hey, FOMO. Bravia 9, 85 inches, 50 field of view, 6'7 feet away on a sofa which is as long as the TV will the people sitting at the end be fine or will they start to lose colour & bloom? Cheers, awesome video! The hype is real!
From Watching your stream the other Brian said most people who walk into room thought the A95L was the bravia 9 . I betting thought the oled was better.
Where can I watch the stream you’re talking about?
they really couldn't tell the difference in most content but off angle over 30 degrees is when you can see the color/contrast of OLED

@@stopthefomo what? No difference between the A95l and Bravia 9 except at angles?
@@gosman949that’s what I’m saying
Why no QN900D? It is supposed to be a beast at upacaling and the 8k should allow you to sit even closer. I know there is little 8k content. But it still seens gorgeous in the showroom. It would have been interesting to see in the shootout. I thought Brian said it was better than the Bravia 9 at 85".
The brands provided the TVs probably so Samsung just didn't bring that one
For all than i see about qn900d Bravia 9 win on everything and have better picture quality on everything but not on Resolution!
My eyes were drawn to the Samsung S95D more often than not. It was the winner imo.
Easy to see how dim oleds are…
And yeah… i am oled owner at this moment, but i am considering going to led in future.
Honestly if you think the G4 and S95D is dim idek for you
lol G4 is eye searingly bright, it's in fact brighter than a X95L MiniLED.
We WIN us everyday consumers. I picked up a 77’ LG G3 $2800! It is beautiful. I may not beat anything in this video but I am am having the best viewing experience of my life 😊
Ain't going to lie I'm partial to the LG C3. Since I upgraded from the C1 to the C3 I have been extremely extremely happy.. the better brightness is made all the difference
Is it just me or s95D had a second highest APL after QM8? Was it because it’s in dynamic mode vs standard on the LG and Bravia.

Is the g4 a great tv for mostly sports. NHL. NFL. Soccer?
Yeah it’s great
is it me or is there a green tint on the c4 .. I believe rtings mentioned this too
This is very impressive y’all. From TH-cam to full on presentations? Loved the confidence and knowledge share
This answered one of my questions regarding viewing modes. I've been wondering if people change modes based on content. That would be totally annoying to me. I would prefer "a set it and forget it" mode. Do owners actually change modes all the time? My viewing habits are made up of a lot of the usual streaming services, a lot of TH-cam tutorials, and some live sports during football season and some soccer. I very very rarely will watch DVDs anymore (Standard or Blu-ray). I've mentioned that I'm still watching a 2009 46" Samsung local dimming TV that still looks fine to me. So anything would be a significant upgrade. I don't cycle tech with that kind of price point every 5-6 years if it still works.
How does this help me choose between G4 ans S95D 😂 ?
Your room was grrrreat & was cool seeing them all next to each other. G4 looked best to me but didn't look that closely as I'm happy w/ my c2 83. Next year I will as my upstairs TV needs to go.
Why have C4 and especially B3 which for sure aren't the best from company on display when you could have displayed Hisense U8N, Samsung QN95D, QN900D, Sharp XLED or OLED etc
Where is the U8N and U9 and or UX? For the price at 7-11 feet away…
If I have a budget around 5k to spend on a new tv. What tv should I go for? Immersion vs picture quality?
Due to my living room I sit around 10-12ft from the tv. We mostly watch tv shows, sports. Our living room is bright. We also love watching movies at home (at night) trying to get the home theater experience.
I am really considering size over quality. With that being am I really going to notice a big difference in 86inch ish to 100 inch?
if sony have made a PC monitor as same tech as Mini-LED Bravia 9 but in 27" could you please tell me the name of that product?
I never change picture-mode, I always have on "Standard" and change everything else, if I must change something, until it is as I want it.
I got rid of my 83 inch LG G4 for a 98 inch tcl qm8 and couldn't be happier.
OLED is the best tech in smaller sizes but some are afraid to say that the smaller OLEDs are no comparison to the emersion of the 98-100-110 and 115" mini leds. Tech is very close but sizes are not close in competition.
who the hell needs those stadium sized TV's. you'd need a massive room and have to sit so far away or risk serious long term eyesight damage. (I guess not a concern for naive young people, but later... 💀)
also the image of the G4 and QM8 is not even close...they are worlds apart in image quality, the Alpha Gen a11 is a thing of beauty, even surpassed Sony's XR Cognitive chip.
@@TheAntifluencer cool opinion.. and people don't really "need" a tv to begin with, its a luxury item. I've got the space for it so that's why I have it. Ive had both the G4 and now the QM8 and its fine enough for me, and I'm happy. Eyesight will go out over time regardless, it comes with age or outside factors like an IED giving you tbi and deteriorating vision but I digress.. hell drinking even to much water is bad for you.. point is life on earth is short my friend, so , so long as your happy with something, maybe don't be so bitter and try justifying your reason or not over another's.. specs are specs and sure the OLED is superior technology and nobody's going to argue the G4 on paper has the better specs over the QM8.. but coming from someone who's had both.. I like the QM8 better.. but that's just like my opinion.. man..
I haven’t seen a video where the QM8 wasn’t completely over exposed. With both the g4 and qm8 optimally calibrated for a dark room, how big is the quality difference? I am leaning towards the immersive size of the qm8, but these online reviews make it look so bad on screen compared to the g4
I see right now Bravia 9 and G4 are better for hockey The QM8 is a little blown out
My camera couldn't capture its full brightness - it's not clipping just my camera sucks LOL dynamic range required to capture and properly expose everything would have to be closer to 20 stops not the 11 stops my FX30 had available
should I wait for the new chip with 4 hdmi 2.1 coming out next year? it never ends....

Hi Fomo!
Nice vid.
I have a Sony xr-83a90j
What TV is the best replacement in 83"/85" size?
Keep your TV. I have the 83in a90j. It's still on top
So after all is said and done, and the tv's being out for a couple of months now, which tv is the one to get, or is the smarter buy ... G4 or A95L? Which one is the best package when it comes to brightness, games, movies, processing, motion and most important, price? Or does the QD panel with its bright and colorful colors on the A95L (or S95D) still trump everything, at the end of the day?
Well if you are shopping for price: S90C/S95D. The best overall TV is still the A95L.
A95L is better than the Samsung in so many clear ways. Build quality. Picture processing (motion, detail. Upscaling). Dolby vision. Sound quality. Smart TV, the fact with Google you can download whatever apps you want with Tizen goodluck with that.
@@salesfocus6270add an apple tv 4k to the Samsung, apps problem solved, and its upscaling is fine.
G4 BEST OLED THIS YEAR! But, for me B9 is the Best HDR experience and my pick!
So, no Hisense, just wondering why?
guys this is kinnda unn fair...... put Prrice above all mmodels ... ann when ppl see they can buy 85 inc tcl for price of g4 65 ...:)
I am sure that you considered this question and had your reasons. This did not appear to be a blind test. Could you add an explanation in the description? Not saying it was wrong, but I would like to understand your decision.
Can't believe you and Brian haven't done an in depth comparison with the Sonys and LG. Driving me crazy here haha
As an A95L owner. It’s nice to see it’s still right there with the S95D and G4. Slightly brighter is the G4 but the color volume still isn’t quite on the level. I think the Bravia 9 comes into play at the 85 inch size for sure. The price difference between that and an 83 G4 if I was in the heavyweight division would definitely have me consider the 9. I know every Best Buy tv is on vivid but the 85 Bravia 9 I saw on display looked amazing.
After seeing the S95D washout that sunrise/sunset compared to all of the other TVs, it makes me wonder why it would be a choice. Seems as if Samsung jacked up brightness at the expense of bright accuracy. Also given that it is that bright, without MLA, when will it suck the brightness out of the panel to manage burn-in. It still seems to me that FOMO is on the payroll for Samsung. I wonder what will happen when Dolby Vision content with peak brightness of 4000 nits is released. These videos really don’t allow the watcher to fairly evaluate the pictures because there isn’t enough time and the images are not static.
Its very strange that the Hisense looks the best over all. More depth and more color.
You mean TCL? Hisense U8N was not there
@@stopthefomo Right. And why wasn't it?
It looked really bright but the TCL lacked the refinement of the Sony, Samsung and LG.
@@CarsandCats Brands provided the TVs for this event and Hisense maybe didn't want to partake
Sony Bravia 9 was the best. Can any of these TV's passthrough Dolby Atmos from files on a Plex server? How do I weed out TV's that only support Atmos from streaming and Bluray disk?
great year to be in attendance. wish I was there to chop it up with you guys
If your running the tv 📺 15 to 20 hours each day,,, Top Quality, OLED or QLED what would last longer ?
I can't tell from TH-cam but wished you had commented on their ABL behavior.
Thank you FOMO amd Brian, i enjoy your content 😊
I was surprised at how much better the S95D is over the S90C in every way.
I have both and calibrated both, playing with settings.
It is crazy better.
Gaming color luminance, overall brightness, Tone mapping, HDR impact.. just everything
Damn, the C4 that I recently bought and is arriving Thursday doesn’t look too good in this video! 😬
Not a surprise at all here, Bravia 9 was so overhyped to the Moon, it was bound to fail to the masterfully crafted Alpha Gen a11 which surpassed Sony's XR Cognitive in terms of raw 3D Depth, contrast, Details clarity and resolution. The G4 is simply THE best looking TV since the A95L...it's not close. Rtings 9.2 score against a 8.8 score of Bravia 9. Sorry big gap !
Bravia 9 still.insane . G4 choice
How is a proper shootout if you're missing so many models?
This was far from a "shootout". It's just a general, quick-and-dirty, side-by-side comparison at a trade show. The real shootout will be the Value Electronics "King of TV" event on Aug. 3rd. That will almost certainly come down to the A95L vs the Bravia 9 for best TV. However, since they are going to have two separate winners this year, one for LCD and one for OLED, you are very likely to see Sony walk away with the crown in both categories.
I’m yet to see a review of the QM851 without horrible calibration and settings.
Right now there are no decent HDR monitors atleast without significant drawbacks. I’m hoping that will change next year. Either OLED’s with decent brightness or Neo QLED with very little lightbleed
Qd oled monitors are very good - don't need the ridiculous brightness at that distance really.
HDR on pc is pants anyway though.
G4 won the shooutout?
hell yea. easiest call of any year, there is just no worthy opponent from Sony for LG this year.
2021 A90J vs G1, 2022 A95K vs G2 vs S95B 2023 A95L vs G3 vs S95C
all way closer
This made me more confused. Do I buy the Bravia 9 for the upscaling low bit rate sports or the G4 or something else if the tv is going to be in use all the time...
Well the Bravia 9 has better upscaling for low bit rate content. It's also brighter so got SDR content you'll get a better experience. G4 will be better with all the lights off but won't be as realistic and does still have the OLED limitations.
A Samsung s90d should have been here since there was a lg c4
we didn't expect LG to bring the C4 and B3 lol otherwise i would've requested same from Samsung
Dear Fomo, I’m looking for a 65” tv for the well lit family room with wide viewing angles. I have found an lg C3 for $1499 or an A80L for $1599. Mostly will be watching sports on TH-cam tv along with some casual viewing while cooking etc. our layout places the tv by a large window with lots of natural light but no direct sunlight (blinds are also available)… Will I notice a difference with Sony’s xr clear when watching football this fall on NFl Sunday ticket? Or is OLED not the choice for a brighter room? I have an 85” x90L for a basement setup and it’s phenomenal
A80L better than the C3 for the content you like including football. Whether it's bright enough depends on what you're coming from? If an older LCD TV, then the A80L has a similar brightness but if recent miniLED then you may have to go with the S90C 77" or 65"

When samsung s90d was released there was a doubt about which one was woled and qdoled. Id like to see a comparisson between two s90d but one woled and one qdoled to see if theres a big difference.
you don't want the WOLED, in that case just buy a LG C4, Bravia 8 or Panasonic/Philips . Unless you like the Samsung's OS and gaming. Most countries getting 55 as a QD-OLED , many the 65 as QD-OLED , very few the 77" as a QD-OLED . You can tell which by the model name.Each region is slightly different . Ie samsung's WOLEDS are nothing special , just buy the cheapest ) non-MLA or last years G3 or a bit more for better processing
@@nimblegoat i know which one is qdoled and which is woled. I just wanted to see the difference. But the way you are woled is terrible comparings. Thank you.
@@diego1294 I don't think it's terrible. Most people would be very happy with it. But I think if you want to buy a Samsung then you would want a QD-OLED . Plus the other companies have been doing WOLED longer. Sure samsung does phones etc, but that's rgb and probably different processing again . If I could get a 83" Samsung S90D very cheap, then its sweet.
I think other buying decisions are more important. These TVs will improve a lot over the next 10 years , plus mini LCD, plus cheap large screen printed RGB will come etc - so is it best to go large now flagship, or a last years 77" bargain and hold off a few years to go big on a full BT2020 , 4000Nit TV. The average consumer is not an upgrader, they buy a new TV when old one fails, or want a 2nd one . People arguing B9 vs S95D vs G4 is funny to me , as next year's' TVs will beat all 3 , and they start there ongoing arguments for months all again . All 3 are very good and all seem to have very happy owners . Plus no point TV being the "best" if you don't like using it, or it meets your needs any better. Weird as people buy cars on overall package , and don't say ICE is old tech , or that car is crap as only 465Hp
Models have got different letters I think 65” is we oled rest is woled but it could differ from country to country
The TCL is way too bright it’s blowing out on the camera here.
I guess Hisense wasn't available for this?
Maybe its a good thing. So NO one puts it on like Film Maker Mode. 😊 then it will look Funny 😊
Bravia 7 review and comparison also needed?
The Bravia is much more cinematic, plus smoother than the G4. G4 seems to have a more manufactured picture quality.
Great job guys!!!
It’s crazy that A95L still holding up against 2024 TVs..
A95L is technically a 2024 TV, it came out very late in 2023 and it still costs more than the G4 and S95D.
Bravia 9 is not a worthy 2024 Sony TV, MiniLED can't compete.
Why not include the Hisense U8N?
Excuse me? The G4 over the Sony A95L? And what's this about the G4 not having the burn in issues?
about thw burn in, i guess they mean that there's less chance for a burn in, due to the white subpixel which can make the whites really bright without too much strain
