It's amazing to me why no one questions why Hollywood makes so many movies that are dark. Hollywood didn't do this years ago. It's like they are in a partnership to make dark movies, so people will be coerced to buy better tvs that can handle all the dark scenes. I personally do not enjoy movies that are dark, and I have an oled. It's just not necessary to me. Even with an oled it's distracting to the story.
@@thegamewin100 it's not as dark as some movies are today. I never had any issues seeing everything in this movie! I have it in my collection. Zero problems with it back in the day on a crt TV and zero problems with a lcd or led TV. What I'm talking about is recent films that are so dark that even with an oled and the brightness turned up ,there is still issues seeing everything. 👀
Most underrated Sony TV for 2023. The processing in this TV is second to none and I looked at all offerings in the upper mid mini led 's. The picture quality on this TV is stunning and when compared to the Oleds, it's equal but much brighter, cheery display, not the same ol, same ol, deep, dull cast that emits from most Oled offerings, and that include's the LG G3 which quite frankly, I was impressed with. I have this TV in 75" and blooming is not noticable.
Beautiful. I just got the X90K myself. Just got it yesterday in fact. I'm waiting on a TV stand before I can set it up but so excited to have this. Mine is 85 inches as well.
I've had the 85" for a couple months, honestly, not a single issue with it. I have 2 OLED's, and have no problem watching movies on this in the family room with my wife, instead of in the dark ass basement cave with my OLED's. It's really a fantastic picture and motion.
This TV isn't perfect, but it looks good. What makes me happy is that mLEDs are becoming widespread. Panasonic already has its own mLED technology and it is Quantum Dot.
I know last year the 95k 65,75 and 85 all had different panels,…..are all 3 sized of this model panels the same?,….was looking into getting the 75inch model,…thanks in advance,any opinion is helpful,…I’m not rich and work very hard for my money so I like to do tons of research before a major purchase.
I've got the X95K and A90J - bright room performance is what this sort of TV is made for and the difference between OLED and Mini LED on APL is almost night and day. Critical viewing OLED, normal viewing Mini LED
@@michael-4k4000 normal content the blooming is just not an issue. Sport and regular TV just doesn't have the black levels you are talking. Sure watching Dune is a different question and the OLED is better for really dark scenes but high impact again and HDR has a punch on the X95K. It's a use case question
@@michael-4k4000 if you really want a mini LED, wait for X95L, or go with QN95C. Though G3 and S95C are pretty bright too, and those 2 makes almost no reason to go on mini LED.
I do like on my Samsung solar remote that the +-/up down buttons are like a little dividing wall so I never accidentally press the streaming service buttons. Not sure if it was intentional, but it works. I don't like that grid line stuff on the back of the TV and assume it will gather dust big time. Not a huge problem cause it's on the back out of view, but as a "Dust person" it would still annoy me. It seems unnecessary, but maybe serves some purpose...
You really shouldn't set Sony TVs on high local dimming unless it's a low zone count. Even then I still wouldn't do it because it creates anomalies like having firefly effect on dark scenes with small bright objects. It blows out facial details and highlights as well. It makes dark scenes or colors look crushed. Medium is the best setting for local dimming on Sony TV's.
I wonder what the 65” X95L will look like this year for other regions in the world that will carry that size. Hopefully it’ll at least be better than X93L/X95K or perform similarly to the 83” X95L.
@@MirelRC There are 65” and 75” X95EL video reviews from Chinese websites such as bilibili. From the video comparisons, the blooming is much less noticeable on these sizes this year, which is great. Looks like all sizes for the X95L should do quite well this year.
The x93l IS the x95k with a gaming and Eco menu... that's it. The improvement for this year is the x95l. " Clear image " processing, more dimming zones, overall improved picture quality. However, only available in an 85 inch size in the US. Sony has offended their customers in the US with these decisions.
@@patrickcotter5629 No, they wouldn't. Sony clearly already understands that when customers are faced with a choice between OLED and Mini-LED they end up choosing OLED about 90% of the time. If a customer is going to spend the money it takes to buy a Mini-LED, then they are almost always going to prefer to spend that exact same amount on an OLED instead - because they are simply better displays in (almost) all areas. That's not rocket surgery, that's just easy math. Sony knows this because industry sales statistics bear it out. The reality is that OLEDs are being embraced by customers today at a FAR higher rate than Mini-LEDs are.
Hi what do you recommend the best / most optimal settings for viewing and gaming are for this TV? I also have a PS5 hooked to it, just bought the TV yesterday
When comparing side by side, both had great picture quality but I noticed a real motion problem with the S90C.. I went with the 77” X93 L and I’m amazed daily with how nice the PQ is.. especially watching streamed low bit content, looks awesome! Upscaling with Sony is incredible.
X93L and X95L is completely different TVs. X93L (2023) is relabeled X95K from 2022 for US market. X95L is a complete new TV with 2023 tech (new XR, more dimming zones).
I feel that Dolby Vision is at times too dark and Sony seems to have a habit of making it worse. Is there a way to not use DV and instead make it default to HDR10. Also, is Adv Contrast enhancer on? That helps at times to push more brightness in HDR.
Sony TVs will just default to whatever the signal is putting out. If you’re using a streaming device or 4K Blu-ray player, you’ll have to manually switch it to HDR10 or just turn it off completely.
B the installer the sound from all sonys oleds mini with the cognitive when you set it up is magnificent set sound to cinema and no matter what you plug into it all these tvs have 2 subwoofers the 2 or 4 speakers in screen
great review. honest. my issue with sony, which i love, is that when you boost up the peak brightness it amplifies the blooming. I wish they wouldn’t play games with the dimming zones like they do. Will always love Sony tho.
Sony has been putting out the same picture technology since the J series over the last few years. Minor tweaks to settings & features but not to the picture that aren’t worth an upgrade. Save the money & go with the J or K series if you want a Sony tv.
Not sure if you still have the 65” X95K, but if you do, a comparison against it & the X93L would be great. I think it’d be an extremely popular vid in the enthusiast community.
There's the new firmware for X95L which can use on the X95K 65". It mitigates the blooming slightly (still very noticeable on my set), but essentially these are the same panels. The blooming is a weird thing, if you go searching for it, you will find it. Once you start using the set, it is easy to get sucked into the immersion of the content (movie, game etc.) and forget the flaw. At the ame time, I wish they had a higher native contrast of around 5000:1 to mitigate the haloing effect, but other than that the TV is perfect. It's a small trade off in the end for all the other things you get for the 95% of the time.
I was wondering the same because if Sony wanted, they could have just pushed forward the X95K into the 2023 lineup like they did the Z95K and the A90K but they didn't.
I think it's got to the point now where it makes more sense to buy QDOled, blooming is always going to be a problem, once you see it and know it's there you can not un see it.... Also i can recommend the klipsch reference 400 sound bar, it's not expensive and sounds far better than any TV speakers.....
qd-oled has major burn-in problems though as demonstrated by Rtings. Someone like me who wants to use the same tv for many years that's just not an option.
@@TheEchelon omg drop that shit already. They said that so many times on normal WOLED. Bro actually go out and buy one before you speak about how some websites put the tv on full blast for hrs on the same image
I’ve watched 3 reviews on this TV. The other reviewers did not see the blooming that you did. They used different content, so maybe that’s the difference? They seemed to indicate the TV had very little blooming.

Hello, what do you think of the 85X90CL vs the 85X95K? I currently have the 85X90CL and I stream 99.99% of the time, but I'm considering buying a PS5 for Black Friday. I like the X90CL because of its clarity and colors, but I wouldn't mind if it was brighter, had better blacks, and less blooming 😁. Is the 85X95K for $2,600 + mini-led+ more dimming zones worth considering over the 85X90CL for $2,000+ 5 year free warranty + XR Clear?.
A few years ago, I read about a moth-eye coating that was supposed to be very superior, but I've never heard about it again. Sony made the first ever glossy computer monitor. Unfortunately, many companies follow that new idea.
Can anyone explain to me please I have a Sony OLED a80j with the sonos arc and sub. I have the premiere version of Netflix running on the PS5 I have 4K movies with Atmos but for some reason I still can’t get Atmos on my on my sonos app keeps says Dolby digital plus 5.1
that's some nasty blooming, can't remember the X95K 85" model having all that much of those.... maybe it's really just a step down MiniLED model or you just got unlucky with this particular unit, definetly get in the 85" X95L for a comparison.
@@majicogarcia8417 Maybe read the Headline, it says "X93L" I was just comparing it to the X95K from last year that you can find nowadays at same price or even cheaper than the X93L..
Great review. Unfortunately it looks like there has been no improvement over the X95K in terms of blooming. This was a big issue on the 65” and 75” X95K and the hope was there would be some kind of improvement, at least via software if nothing else. Doesn’t seem to be the case. Seems like it is exactly the X95K with game bar added. For the price they are asking it’s a tough sell. Would love to hear your thoughts on X95K vs X93L, and to see a comparison with the X95L when it’s available. Lastly, I don’t think that Quantumania is the best demo for your audience. It was difficult to see much of anything compared to when you would show Encanto or some other brighter HDR content. Thanks!
@@touringband I agree i have the 75 as well .. I did the update from April .. and it looks good.. yes there’s blooming but it’s not distracting unless you’re hunting for it .. i think as a total package it’s a good tv, clean panel, good motion.. imo has better reproduction and motion than Samsung QN90B which I had prior to the X95K, image processing is really good,.. overall it’s a good TV
This isn't really a "new" TV. This is the X95K rebadged as 2023 "X93L". They are moving old stock or don't have enough of the smaller sizes of X95L so they give North America the shaft and let us buy last years TV with an increased price. That said. Besides the Game bar added is there any changes to panel or algorithm. I know nothing else has changed.
Okay, so does anyone have a recommendation for a 65 to 75-inch TV that doesn't cost any more than the X93L and upscales as well as it does but with less blooming, that is NOT an OLED? Maybe a tall order! But I need to replace a TV that I use for both work (doubles as a monitor) and entertainment and that I typically run for 12+ hours a day. (Which is why I don't want an OLED.) So far this looks to be about the best compromise I can find, but maybe one of you knows better. ;)
Yeah dude. Sony x93L has 2150:1 native contrast, the HIsense U8K has like 7500:1 native contrast. It’s like just way more Snappy crisp when close up to tv. The x93L looks good from like 10 feet away. Due to lower contrast ratio (native) it has a soft look when close. But thats just me nick picking tho cuz i have those NICE LEDs , my eyes will pickup things when i saw them in person in store :) 😊
Since I bought a 99” screen, I can’t be enthusiastic about smaller gears anymore, even if their technology is better. Size matters a lot and really big screens have become affordable.
I just want a 70”ish tv WITHOUT google or any of the smart apps just a big 4K tv. I don’t use any of the apps I use an Apple TV or mac mini for my content and I hate that you can’t just use the tv you have to sign in or have it connected to the internet.
I Love the Android Google Apps, I have a 65X900E bought it back in 2017 and have used those Apps since. The Apps work great and you can access any Provider including Apple. With the Sony X1 Processor, it handles all the Apps very nice and you don't need the Apple TV!
The problem with Sony and Samsung mini LED TVs is their wide viewing angles. This feature makes native contrast low. This is why Hisense U8H has better bloom control. Hisense's U8H doesn't have a wide viewing angle feature.
Wow this tv looks awesome what do you think has better picture the oled or mini led i bought the 48” a90k last year it looks awesome. Only thing i dont like is no 1440p for ps5 and lacks brightness other than that its solid.
My new 65'' 95K arrived this week. The unboxing with my wifey was something like this: Me: (trying to treat tv with the maximum love) Wifey: careful, are you going to take it out there? it will break, it will break, ugh how big it is (the tv), it doesn't fit there, YOU'RE GOING TO BREAK IT, BEWARE, oh it's beautiful 💖 BEWARE, take it carefully OH OW OH BEWARE like that, not like that, be careful, you're going to take it by that side? won't it break? are you going to put it there? there it will break, I am convinced, oh it is very pretty 💖, I love it, but it is very big, is it crooked? be careful, seriously it doesn't fit there, oh well it does fit BEWARE give me patience
If that was our Sony TV that bad boy would be going back to the store it’s way too dark. We have an older Sony and our living room and it looks just as good. Our is very bright and it’s 12 years old. It’s a 62” XBR Bravia screen TV has HDMI but it’s not a smart TV or not a Qled. It’s just a Older LED but we love it so much we don’t want to get rid of it. The screen looks perfect and we’re run it with a AppleTV which is awesome, No complaints here.! It keeps us from buying a new TV because the screen looks so awesome why buy another TV. We have Samsung 65” and our bedroom, and it’s so bright you need sunglasses that’s for real no joke. Thank goodness it’s adjustable so you can turn the brightness down really low if you like it dark like the Sony TV. We’re looking at our you can have it somewhere in the middle or have it where it’s so bright like I said you definitely need sunglasses it’s so bright. Our rooms are not dark at all but what are you going to do at night time you cannot control the brightness unfortunately! You can turn on the lights on while you’re watching TV but who likes doing that? The room you have the Sony in was very bright in my opinion and the screen was still dark, so what could you do? You should be happy with your purchase and shouldn’t have to settle with something that’s not to your liking.
Downgrade compared to previous Sony models except the aliasing thing. It's the only advantage. The blooming making this TV defenelity not perfect for HDR content.

what is the width of the feet if you put the legs in the middle position?

Is the 85X95K for $2,600 + mini-led+ more dimming zones worth considering over the 85X90CL for $2,000+ 5 year free warranty + XR Clear?.
Many people say the miniled backlight is a far superior upgrade tha. Xr clear
Is this better then tcp qm8
Great Video and in 75 and 85 inch Size from the X95l interessing to see the picture from sportshow movie and ps5 Game .
A few years ago, I read about a moth-eye coating that was supposed to be very superior, but I've never heard about it again. Sony made the first ever glossy computer monitor. Unfortunately, many companies follow that new idea.
Can anyone explain to me please I have a Sony OLED a80j with the sonos arc and sub. I have the premiere version of Netflix running on the PS5 I have 4K movies with Atmos but for some reason I still can’t get Atmos on my on my sonos app keeps says Dolby digital plus 5.1
The TCL flagship mini led is $1,000 cheaper at BestBuy right now!
Flagship and TCL should never be used in the same sentence………….
@@tears2040 TCL & Hisense are the next Samsung LG!
@@stevengower This is Sony though
that's some nasty blooming, can't remember the X95K 85" model having all that much of those.... maybe it's really just a step down MiniLED model or you just got unlucky with this particular unit, definetly get in the 85" X95L for a comparison.
@@majicogarcia8417 Maybe read the Headline, it says "X93L" I was just comparing it to the X95K from last year that you can find nowadays at same price or even cheaper than the X93L..
Great review. Unfortunately it looks like there has been no improvement over the X95K in terms of blooming. This was a big issue on the 65” and 75” X95K and the hope was there would be some kind of improvement, at least via software if nothing else. Doesn’t seem to be the case. Seems like it is exactly the X95K with game bar added. For the price they are asking it’s a tough sell. Would love to hear your thoughts on X95K vs X93L, and to see a comparison with the X95L when it’s available. Lastly, I don’t think that Quantumania is the best demo for your audience. It was difficult to see much of anything compared to when you would show Encanto or some other brighter HDR content. Thanks!
Wouldn’t be surprised if the 93L is just last years 95k. I have the 75” X95k. Yeah there’s blooming but a huge issue? Well not for me.
@@touringband what about with the subtitles?
@@martinchitembo1883 it’s fine for me, but if you look for it then you’ll see it. If you wants zero blooming, then yeah, it’s not for you.
@@touringband I agree i have the 75 as well .. I did the update from April .. and it looks good.. yes there’s blooming but it’s not distracting unless you’re hunting for it .. i think as a total package it’s a good tv, clean panel, good motion.. imo has better reproduction and motion than Samsung QN90B which I had prior to the X95K, image processing is really good,.. overall it’s a good TV
I'm thinking to get the same tv 75
Should I go for it it's $2K OLD model or wait new model price
Drop??
Thank you for the great review!!!
This isn't really a "new" TV. This is the X95K rebadged as 2023 "X93L". They are moving old stock or don't have enough of the smaller sizes of X95L so they give North America the shaft and let us buy last years TV with an increased price.
That said. Besides the Game bar added is there any changes to panel or algorithm. I know nothing else has changed.
Sounds like a repeat of the x95k in the smaller sizes
Why did manufacturers move away from plasma? The frame rate makes things look fake on the Qleds
Hey B you mentioned that TH-cam TV looks the worst, what looks the best?
FYI, your Best Buy links are not going to Best Buy.
Okay, so does anyone have a recommendation for a 65 to 75-inch TV that doesn't cost any more than the X93L and upscales as well as it does but with less blooming, that is NOT an OLED? Maybe a tall order! But I need to replace a TV that I use for both work (doubles as a monitor) and entertainment and that I typically run for 12+ hours a day. (Which is why I don't want an OLED.) So far this looks to be about the best compromise I can find, but maybe one of you knows better. ;)
Hisense U8K 75”. I am not joking. That’s the panel SPOOK SONY in 2023 CES that SONY Tv booth completely empty. The U8K n Qm8 were like so much nicer .
Yeah dude. Sony x93L has 2150:1 native contrast, the HIsense U8K has like 7500:1 native contrast. It’s like just way more Snappy crisp when close up to tv. The x93L looks good from like 10 feet away. Due to lower contrast ratio (native) it has a soft look when close. But thats just me nick picking tho cuz i have those NICE LEDs , my eyes will pickup things when i saw them in person in store :) 😊
@Yoga_Tv_buying I want to purchase a Hisense u8n but idk the reliability of a Hisense
Nice tv Brian. Is the QN95C better buddy?
Yes
Since I bought a 99” screen, I can’t be enthusiastic about smaller gears anymore, even if their technology is better. Size matters a lot and really big screens have become affordable.
yes once you hit triple digits you find it hard to settle for tiny tv
I just want a 70”ish tv WITHOUT google or any of the smart apps just a big 4K tv. I don’t use any of the apps I use an Apple TV or mac mini for my content and I hate that you can’t just use the tv you have to sign in or have it connected to the internet.
I Love the Android Google Apps, I have a 65X900E bought it back in 2017 and have used those Apps since. The Apps work great and you can access any Provider including Apple. With the Sony X1 Processor, it handles all the Apps very nice and you don't need the Apple TV!
You don't need to setup the internet if you don't want to on the tv
I’ve got the a84L and the remote is backlit for me.
Dolby vision isn't deal breaker . there is no WOW factor because of the BT2020 content isn't 100% like dci -p3
so is this tv from Is this mid-range?Thanks for your beautiful efforts
I hope Sony adds the gaming menu to its other VRR TVs.
Na Sony want to force people to buy new ones.
Sony Best technology Japan 👑💖
The problem with Sony and Samsung mini LED TVs is their wide viewing angles. This feature makes native contrast low.
This is why Hisense U8H has better bloom control. Hisense's U8H doesn't have a wide viewing angle feature.
I agree, I hate that that wide angle viewing sh** that Samsung and Sony put on their TV's as well as the rainbow anti-glare.
Wow this tv looks awesome what do you think has better picture the oled or mini led i bought the 48” a90k last year it looks awesome. Only thing i dont like is no 1440p for ps5 and lacks brightness other than that its solid.
X93L the model name is like downgrade from x95k predecessor?
i have a request 😁, please show OS (Operating System) Version in your Unbox and Review, also show people Internal Storage capacity, thanks
so the TCL 745 2023 is doing a better job for less money and i`m waiting for hisense U8X
I am thinking sony will give the u.s the sony x95l 65in and 75in next year and say it a new tv for 2024
Looks like the Boston Celtics coach sees the reflections at 16:09 and 16:18 too.
Samsung and Sony are the best when it comes to mini led tvs but Samsungs the wow and especially with there 8k neo qn900c 😮😅
B, the installer, LOOKS LIKE JOHN GRUDEN ,LOL
My new 65'' 95K arrived this week. The unboxing with my wifey was something like this:
Me: (trying to treat tv with the maximum love)
Wifey: careful, are you going to take it out there? it will break, it will break, ugh how big it is (the tv), it doesn't fit there, YOU'RE GOING TO BREAK IT, BEWARE, oh it's beautiful 💖 BEWARE, take it carefully OH OW OH BEWARE like that, not like that, be careful, you're going to take it by that side? won't it break? are you going to put it there? there it will break, I am convinced, oh it is very pretty 💖, I love it, but it is very big, is it crooked? be careful, seriously it doesn't fit there, oh well it does fit BEWARE
give me patience
Добрий день, подивившись Ваш канал, купив Sony x95l 85 дюймів , зніміть будь ласка відео як правильно його налаштувати для перегляду кіно-контенту.
No matter the brightness and no burn in risk...I don't think more than 800 bucks for LCD tech is worth it.
Beautiful
Super Sir ❤
Hey "B", where did you get the cabinets?
Ikea besta frame plus draws and doors x 2
My qn90a 85 inch rockssss
I love Sony soundbars
Why would you do that? You could have had a C3 at the same price?
Because oleds are like a black hole. No light comes out.
Best tv in world
Wow, that blooming off-angle is horrible.
Got this TV and a HT-A7000 coming this weekend. I'll get the Sub and Surrounds later after my wallet recovers.
If that was our Sony TV that bad boy would be going back to the store it’s way too dark. We have an older Sony and our living room and it looks just as good. Our is very bright and it’s 12 years old. It’s a 62” XBR Bravia screen TV has HDMI but it’s not a smart TV or not a Qled. It’s just a Older LED but we love it so much we don’t want to get rid of it. The screen looks perfect and we’re run it with a AppleTV which is awesome, No complaints here.! It keeps us from buying a new TV because the screen looks so awesome why buy another TV.
We have Samsung 65” and our bedroom, and it’s so bright you need sunglasses that’s for real no joke.
Thank goodness it’s adjustable so you can turn the brightness down really low if you like it dark like the Sony TV. We’re looking at our you can have it somewhere in the middle or have it where it’s so bright like I said you definitely need sunglasses it’s so bright. Our rooms are not dark at all but what are you going to do at night time you cannot control the brightness unfortunately! You can turn on the lights on while you’re watching TV but who likes doing that? The room you have the Sony in was very bright in my opinion and the screen was still dark, so what could you do? You should be happy with your purchase and shouldn’t have to settle with something that’s not to your liking.
Your ancient screen with old tech does not look better than this.....
Sony the best
X93L VS X95L VIDEO PLEASE
Another sony tv with extremely bad blooming just like last year, what a waste of a tv. Yes blooming is inevitable but it doesnt have to be that bad
It’s either that, or poor shadow detail.. Don’t like it? Go with Oled… Oled is King!!
why do u tv guys show things that would look on any tv like 4k material?show tv without 4k and how it handels that!!
Downgrade compared to previous Sony models except the aliasing thing. It's the only advantage. The blooming making this TV defenelity not perfect for HDR content.
Horrible blooming at wide viewing angle. this is poor for an almost $4k tv
