Another excellent HDTVTest review! Love your presentation style and very accurate and detailed review that perfectly matches our findings for Sony's new 2021 A90J Master Series OLED TVs.
Great review, I ordered the 55 inch A90J, but called the next day to change it to the 65, I knew I would have regretted not ordering the bigger one after. My present TV is a 46 inch Toshiba led that's 12 years old.

Vincent, your closing statement that maybe the new processor deviates from the original intent was something that crossed my mind. To me though, the possible over enhancement of this processor is a plus especially when you consider how lacking other processors are in this area.
It is, but it is a HUGE philosophical deviation for Sony. They spent a decade, maybe more, actually, promising people the MOST accurate cinema experience.
@@DEVILTAZ35 well if it’s that price it will be as popular as the Panasonic- superior but no one will pay that for a 65 inch.

With lg c1 and g1 setting a reasonable initial price by the time A90G comes online the lg’s will be discounting.

Amazing review. Lots of good tips also to make me understand and handle my a90j better. Going to be watching this again a couple of times to see if I missed something. Thanks!!

An utterly superlative video. You're head and shoulders the best TV reviewer out there: technically precise, an extraordinary wealth of knowledge, and wonderfully articulate. I learned a helluva lot watching this extremely engaging video. Keep up the fantastic work, friend.
Great video! Vincent you are the GOAT when it comes to TVs. It seems Sony really knocked it out of the park with the XR chip the A90J looks special I have the A80J I shared a lot of these similar feelings with the XR chip it was so impressive in upscaling content, and it seemed to add depth to everything I threw at it. Also thank you for clearing up the HGiG question with tone mapping set to off so helpful. You are a huge inspiration thank you for all that you do keep up the amazing content!
Many thanks once again, Vincent. Loving your reviews even more this year, especially how they feel more standardized even between different brands. Looking forward to the Panasonic JZ1500 review, specifically any possible/hypothetical HGIG/"HDR Tonemapping Off" solution on them, as was done & shown in this video for the Sony.
@@cmpmeridian1 And this is your thesis or did you actually see it? I happened to see the 65 A80J and A90J side by side in my store and honestly the stuff they showed (Greatest Showman 4k HDR Blu Ray via the Sony Flagship player) did look identical on both. Granted the lighting in the shop was no optimal and it was only a single disc (that I watched in the middle for like 15-20min). So IMHO a test would be great. Especially since the A80J is the only model you can get in 77'' with the 83'' A90J substantially more expensive.
Thank you for a very in-depth review. I am interested to see if possibly the use of the latest LG oled panel paired with the heat sink really will help with the longevity of the panel regarding screen burn-in. I am looking forward to the A80J comparison.
Really looking forward to when you get the Panasonic JZ2000/1500 in for review and hopefully a comparison. Panasonic doesn't really get the recognition it deserves from the general public (because when you Google TV reviews, most of the results are from US sites that don't cover Panasonic). For me, Panasonic vs Sony is "the big one" for this year.

@@RobertK1993 Panasonic is the only tv that usually beats Sony at its own game. Colors ,motion and upconversion cause their hcx processor is no joke. To bad their tvs are small....
Hi Vincent, I hope you could answer my question 🙏 What about motion handling on the A90J? I heard and read on different sources that the motion handling on the A90J is bad and has issues like stutter, especially with slow panning shots. What is your opinion and experience with that? I'm thinking of buying the 83" A90J in 2024 because the price went down a lot in The Netherlands for a new A90J. Thanks!
Got this TV last Friday and have been watching loads of different stuff watched 1917 in 4K HDR and was blown away the colours were rich the scenes when they are underground with only torches was insane the shadow detail and the brightness off the flashlights was incredible motion was perfect too. Also been playing my PS5 on it absolutely zero issues looks awesome and I didn’t see any ABL kick in at all I’m very happy with this TV yes it’s expensive but to me it’s worth every penny the sound is also very good as well
Vinnie is the honesty box we all need to drop a penny in. Never scared to point out the small things that we all fear will sway our decisions. Panny will watch & wait then Eliminate!
Are you willing to pay $1,000 more just to get a little more brightness that you could only use in one mode plus Sony like all the features that Samsung and LG has how much better is the picture it's debatable
@@chinkc96kc More than that better motion upscaling sound and Dolby Vision HDR has never looked brighter than on A90J it's only 500 more where I live not everyone cares about HDMI 2.1 gaming features gamers irrelevant to most TV manufacturers. LG G1 has VRR and ALLM over A90J that not enough to justify 2500 when Sony A90J outperforms it in every other area.
Well done G1 is overpriced for the upscaling motion processing colour accuracy same brightness as last year GX CX and C9. You are better of buying A80J or C1 or even A1 if just a gamer.
Yes you're right the A90J or even the A80J are both better TVs overall than the G1, C1, GX, CX combine and the list goes on, i will always go for a Sony Oled TV or Panasonic over the others brands because i'm purist i love picture quality first, that's i buy Tvs.
@@DEVILTAZ35 No I’m not a gamer at all I watch is regular TV and movies. I want it for the picture and the better sound since it’s going in the bedroom I don’t want to put a sound system.
There is actually a guy imitating Vincent on his latest upload. But he is making fun of him so I won't give him any publicity. There is only ONE VINCENT🙂 Thanks a lot for the review.
Vincent, I'd love to see a video on your best A90J/A80J settings for PS5 and best settings for movies/streaming. Lots of folks, including me, are getting those TVs to match with the PS5. Thanks for all your awesome info and videos!!
Vincent, I'd like to see a list of "suggested" setting for all of these Sony models that you review. You go through all the settings anyway, can't be too difficult to list them here too. Thanks.
Yes, this would be very helpful!! There seems to be a lot you can adjust, so being able to have a starting point would be a huge time saver for people unfamiliar with what it's technically changing. Thanks Vincent!
@@GoldRaion Well, there is the new Cognitive Processor XR. I wonder how well that works on the X90J’s full local dimming. I also wonder if they’ve fixed the 4K 120Hz blurriness issue.
@@GoldRaion crushed blacks. I have been on both sides of the coin. OLED perfect blacks introduces detail crushing. That means the Samsung is also doing the same to achieve better blacks. Sony's algorithm is to keep fidelity of the picture. They do a very good job at that. Just look at blacks in real life. They aren't black hole black. They always have some light reflecting off of it. Even in the dark you can see a little bit of light unless you are in a pitch black cave. Which most real situations, films, shows, etc. aren't filmed in.
Hey Vincent. Love your content, I’ve learned a lot! How do you think the 2021 Panasonic OLEDs, especially JZ2000 and JZ1500, will compare to the A90J? Hopefully we’ll get to see them in your hands soon!!
Panasonic have had the best overall picture quality of any consumer OLED television for the last few years. I personally think the Panasonic JZ2000 and JZ1500 will have slightly better picture overall picture quality than the Sony A90J.
Sony Oleds mounting X1 Ultimate already had way greater definition and better color gradation than any of Panasonic's Oleds. XR processor makes for an even bigger difference.
We don’t know that since Panasonic’s 2021-OLEDs aren’t out yet. We know little to nothing about them outside of what Panasonic has told us in their blurbs.
One thing that's worth investigating is how aggressively the A90J dims the screen when it detects static UI elements, mostly in games. When playing Monster Hunter Rise (SDR) which has a lot of bright white UI elements, it was very obviously dimming them after a few minutes which detracted from my enjoyment of gaming on the TV. I started getting paranoid that the screen was always dimming during gaming so I ended up returning it and swapping it out with a C1 where I have more control over logo luminance and ABSL.
@@checarlos956214 They are both great TVs. If I exclusively watched movies/series I would have kept the A90J but I spend a lot of time gaming so end preferring the additional knobs that LG has.
Excellent review!!! Always check Vincent's review (and pun) before consider buying. "find out answers at some point in this review", and right after, confirm the right one is A90J according to its feet XD
The problem is if you want larger than 65-in on the A90j the price more than doubles, once you watch anything on a good quality 75 inch screen there is no going back, the whole picture just becomes much more enjoyable to watch ....
While I agree on the big screen immersion but 1080i/FHD content on such a big screen looks soft n tad pixelated unless you sit 20 feet back. I personally prefer the 55 with it's higher pixel density. Quite the sweet spot if you sit 8 feet away.
Unless you don't have space for 75 compared to 65 lol. You should be sitting about 2 metres further back and that means a rather large room is needed unless you want to damage your eyesight over time.
@@DEVILTAZ35 you are totally wrong about the optimal distance of watching 4 k TVs, it about 1.5 X the diagonal size of your screen, The immersion aspect of watching something proper is all better than being to far away......
I did see the a90j in person recently. And it really is doing some nice things w/HDR highlight detail. U can tell it's using it's brightness in those areas to really enhance the scene. But not enough for that price tag still.
@@TheSharpZzHD The C9 might not have the best motion, best picture processing, and new UI but being brighter than the new C1 just tickles 🤗 the hell out of me!!!
@@micdoses1 Yeah i've enjoyed the whole 0 times a fullscreen white actually happened. The only time that actually might happen is if you're using a non-dark-mode browser.
Great picture quality but seems like sony doesn't care about gamers, no HGIG, no VRR, only 2 HDMI 2.1 ports, and $4000 dlls for a 65" size 😑. Great review Vincent 👍👏.
I’ll stick with my CX for now since I really like the Dolby Vision implementation and gaming features. The only other OLED that I really want is the Panasonic OLED and unfortunately they’re not sold in the United States.
@@vlippo78 Your comment makes even less sense lol. The fact you even ask it renders answering your idiotic question a waste of time for anyone. Next time THINK man
It's also possible to retain detail by using reality creation w/smooth gradation on med. While keeping annoying color gradients smoothed out to perfection w/out detail loss.
Great review Vincent!! 👏👏 Why didn't you compare the A90j with the G1 that is more premium then the C1? Compare the A90J vs G1 and A80J vs C1 later!! Please
sony oled tv from the box has the best set picture and no calibration is required. while with lg OLED tv the picture from the box is not well adjusted, and the picture must be calibrated. because of that sony, at first glance it has a nicer picture
Great review once again thank you. Wishful thinking but perhaps the service menu provides the needed near black gamma controls? Really looking forward to hearing your review on the X95J and more details on the XR processor.
@@playafly131 why not? you do realize A90J way more expensive with fewer features, especially for gamers. I would personally prefer C1 or G1 over A90J anyday.
Hello Vincent! Does the A90J also have increased SDR brightness compared to regular OLED TVs that don't use a panel with heat sink? Thank you in advance and for the great in-depth videos!
As of Rtings measurements: No ... the A90J achieved 277 nits and the C1 302 nits. But full field white (100% window) was 185 nits vs only 131 nits on the C1 ... although white rabbits in a snow field do not appear quite often in content ;-)
I’m very impressed at how far oled has come. From a small Kodak camera to this. I’m grateful to be able to have a 2021 model tbh. The first batch of oleds in TVs would be laughed at in today’s standards. 🤣 we needed that to get here though.
Ultshra sho shro projecto. Love it, Vincent. Next year might be the year I get an OLED. Hoping four HDMI 2.1 ports and Evo panels are standard by then. And the VRR raised black level issue fixed.

i am looking forward to see a comparison between the A90 j et the jz 2000 from panasonic
The problem is if you want larger than 65-in on the A90j the price more than doubles, once you watch anything on a good quality 75 inch screen there is no going back, the whole picture just becomes much more enjoyable to watch ....
While I agree on the big screen immersion but 1080i/FHD content on such a big screen looks soft n tad pixelated unless you sit 20 feet back. I personally prefer the 55 with it's higher pixel density. Quite the sweet spot if you sit 8 feet away.
Unless you don't have space for 75 compared to 65 lol. You should be sitting about 2 metres further back and that means a rather large room is needed unless you want to damage your eyesight over time.
@@DEVILTAZ35 you are totally wrong about the optimal distance of watching 4 k TVs, it about 1.5 X the diagonal size of your screen,
The immersion aspect of watching something proper is all better than being to far away......
I did see the a90j in person recently. And it really is doing some nice things w/HDR highlight detail. U can tell it's using it's brightness in those areas to really enhance the scene. But not enough for that price tag still.
I can’t believe it’s a almost $1000 per 10” of screen lol.
For the 83” of course
I will love to see a showdown between the Sony and the Panasonic JZ2000.
absolute review, so much into technical details i love it 😊
As a C9 owner, it’s been fun watching you guys figure out if these new tvs are an upgrade or a downgrade!!
Yeah right! I have a C9 aswell and it pretty much seems like they're pretty much just where we already were for quite some time :D
Enjoying the 150 nits are you...
@@micdoses1 I just think it’s badass that my old 2019 OLED is brighter than 2021 LG OLED’s. Makes me feel good about spending that money in 2019.
@@TheSharpZzHD The C9 might not have the best motion, best picture processing, and new UI but being brighter than the new C1 just tickles 🤗 the hell out of me!!!
@@micdoses1 Yeah i've enjoyed the whole 0 times a fullscreen white actually happened. The only time that actually might happen is if you're using a non-dark-mode browser.
Vincent, will it be possible that Sony adjusts the 'insufficient' near black handling in the calibrating settings by firmware update?
Would love to know the answer to this as well.
Do you recommend calibrating the A90j? Mine seems good out of the box. But one doesn’t know what one doesn’t know.
👍 thanks for the nice review vincent
Great picture quality but seems like sony doesn't care about gamers, no HGIG, no VRR, only 2 HDMI 2.1 ports, and $4000 dlls for a 65" size 😑. Great review Vincent 👍👏.
Hey NOT TRUE AT ALL only a mere $3800 after recent discounts lol
Spot on!
Great in depth review like the old ones!
I’ll stick with my CX for now since I really like the Dolby Vision implementation and gaming features. The only other OLED that I really want is the Panasonic OLED and unfortunately they’re not sold in the United States.
Why not?
Now I can’t wait for your review of the Panasonic jz2000!
As always Vincent gives an excellent well explained review. Thanks a lot Vincent.
Great review man. The TV was well worth the price tag.. 🤫
Panasonic JZ2000 vs Sony A90J shootout please
What is the use asking for this when the jz2000 will not be available until june.
Makes no sense.👎
@@vlippo78 Your comment makes even less sense lol. The fact you even ask it renders answering your idiotic question a waste of time for anyone. Next time THINK man
It's also possible to retain detail by using reality creation w/smooth gradation on med. While keeping annoying color gradients smoothed out to perfection w/out detail loss.
Great review Vincent!! 👏👏
Why didn't you compare the A90j with the G1 that is more premium then the C1? Compare the A90J vs G1 and A80J vs C1 later!! Please
Very good, well balanced review
Incredible review The A90J has the best picture quality so far I seen in the 2021 models .
sony oled tv from the box has the best set picture and no calibration is required. while with lg OLED tv the picture from the box is not well adjusted, and the picture must be calibrated. because of that sony, at first glance it has a nicer picture
I agree
Great review once again thank you. Wishful thinking but perhaps the service menu provides the needed near black gamma controls? Really looking forward to hearing your review on the X95J and more details on the XR processor.
Do a review after calibration of an X90J
Just got the 80j and s400 sound bar for gaming works a treat.
Vincent you are the man, no one else I know can make a joke with out breaking a sweat or loosing it’s calm!
Great review as usual! Now I thought something was buggy about my tv not playing this in HDR.
Thank you Vincent. Please do Panasonic JZ2000 vs. Sony A90J.
That he'll surely do, but now I want to see G1 vs A90J
Great review. That black level and lack of control issue is not the answer or fix I was looking for. I'd like them to improve on this.
Where can I find the cool screen saver looking stuff in the background?
TH-cam
@@magnaig link?
Fantastic review.
I thought that the skintones were very slightly better on the A90J when I saw the two side by side on the BBC news scene
Will be the BVM 310 a member of the channel or just a VIP guest?
Absolutely beautiful TV
Will you be making g1 vs a90j comparison?
Edit. Watched further, you answered :)
No need the G1 is inferior
@@playafly131 I mean a Ferrari is also inferior to a Lamborghini but that doesn’t mean most people would scoff at a Ferrari bruh
@@playafly131 G1 has better gaming features out of the box. That counts for a lot of people.
@@playafly131 why not? you do realize A90J way more expensive with fewer features, especially for gamers. I would personally prefer C1 or G1 over A90J anyday.
@@MrJayson204 how is a Ferrari inferior too a Lamborghini? a better analogy would be comparing AMG/M too Ferrari/Lambo.
Thank you for an other perfect review but me myself is very much waiting for the newest Panasonic review
Some think they know the tech ..but really don’t I don’t see anyone going into the bios on tv’s really Vincent knows the tech💯 good reviews
Excellent review, thank you
When will we see the A80J review? Need a comparison to A90J and LG C1...
This was my dream TV. Still is, but with the absolute bargain of 1150 EUR for 65 CX it was hard to justify and I'm watching and typing this on the LG
Hello Vincent! Does the A90J also have increased SDR brightness compared to regular OLED TVs that don't use a panel with heat sink? Thank you in advance and for the great in-depth videos!
As of Rtings measurements: No ... the A90J achieved 277 nits and the C1 302 nits.
But full field white (100% window) was 185 nits vs only 131 nits on the C1 ... although white rabbits in a snow field do not appear quite often in content ;-)
What is that HDR demo that is running on the TV? Looks very good.
I’m very impressed at how far oled has come. From a small Kodak camera to this. I’m grateful to be able to have a 2021 model tbh. The first batch of oleds in TVs would be laughed at in today’s standards. 🤣 we needed that to get here though.
Ultshra sho shro projecto. Love it, Vincent. Next year might be the year I get an OLED. Hoping four HDMI 2.1 ports and Evo panels are standard by then. And the VRR raised black level issue fixed.
