Awesome video, Brian! I just received my x95l yesterday. Best TV I've ever seen. I have 3 OLEDs and three mini leds (C9, G2, A90J, 646, U8H, QN90B). Everything you said was spot on as usual. I can't find any blooming. The blacks are black, and the way it handles the local dimming is incredible. There was no light bleeding in the black bars, and I can't see any blooming. I've thrown many tests that mini leds always struggled with. Like the blooming(worst out of all my TVs)on my qn90b or lighter black bars like the U8H. I like both TVs for different reasons, same as my OLEDs, but they dont touch this. Even last years, 85 inch x95k had some occasional light bleed and blooming, such as small torches in a dark scene. I honestly am shocked that Sony pulled this off. Best pop I've ever seen. It looks like my a90j but with way more pop and clarity. You were spot on the clarity. The viewing angles are also amazing. Thanks as always, my friend, and I am always looking forward to all future videos. Enjoy your new QN95C! I hope we can see some gaming streams in the future.
@Trump Ameri I like my QN90B, but for me, it has great highs and bad lows. In other words, it looks great in bright scenes but not so great in harder scenes with darks and brights. It actually my worst TV out of the bunch as far as blooming goes. However, it can do some scenes fantastic. When it comes to the x95l, it makes my Samsung look lower res, and the pop and blooming are unlike anything I've experienced. I even calibrate these things. I'm glad you're enjoying your QN90B! That's all that matters when it comes down to it.
@Guiltynessness I'm so glad to hear you are enjoying it especially when you have so many other high end tv's. Thank you also for the kind and encouraging words about me and the channel
@@guiltynessness8926 Is it the 85'? Im thinking of going 65' here in EU, but i'm afraid there might not be direct comparisons between the sizes. I have OLED fomo but also watch lots of sports with static logos, so im glad there's finally an LED that keeps up with OLEDS, with maybe the exception of the QD OLEDS.
My settings I would use on the Sony ( My 6 years experience with their settings and game mode): -Gamma -1 (game dependent) -Black level 49 or 50 depending on how it affects any particular game. -Gradation preferred at all times, brightness ruins highlights and contrast. -Live color depends on game and if it over saturates the image or not. -LD on high -Maybe play with contrast between 90-100, also game dependent. -Color Tone would be either "warm" or "Expert 1" depending on game. Sometimes Expert 1 can seem too yellowish. Especially in games that already pushes that, Horizon for example. -Reality Creation I would use on manual and crank it up a bit and dial it back down just at the point when you can see it creating artifacts or too much processing. That way you get the sharpest image. And yes RC is more than just "sharpness". The point with -1 gamma and black level at 49 it brings back contrast, makes it less washed out. But as I said, all depending on games and how dark or bright they are. I can easily say I have never felt my Sony 900E game mode has been bad. I never see blooming either except some loading screen. So if I can get that but just more brightness and better processing and the 120Hz VRR I would be happy. Also in the movies and shows, it seems amazingly better than my 900E could dream of so that would mean massive improvement there. Just don't know if I would get the 85" X95L when on sale. Or wait for next year and see if X95M has Pentonic and maybe even better processing and zone count?
Does sonos arc soundbar cut in and out with the samsung qn95c like it does with qn90b? I like the image options but want something that has no problems with sonos.
Wish more of the new and higher end TVs came in 55" and smaller form factors. Lots of folks, like our household, that do not have space for larger TVs but would pay for top tier displays, connectivity, and audio quality for our varied needs and wants.
Thanks Brian! Now I understand why you are likely to select the Samsung. On the other video I definitely preferred the Sony (the Sony X95L is the best mini LED I have seen in my limited experience), but for the gaming you show in this video, I think I would prefer the Samsung too….If I were a gamer. So interesting!! Excellent comparison!
@@vqa33 lol. My Samsung washing machine blew up without any explosion. It had a catastrophic internal part malfunction while in the spin cycle. It sounded like a grenade went off. The drum had a fist size hole in it. Crazy the dryer still works 🤣
Samsung seems to highlight some textures of rocks, trees, thereby giving them some degree of 'sharpness' with extra detail which can be a plus. The colours are also more vibrant on samsung. On the other hand, sony textures appear to be smoother like some form of aliasing going on which is also a nice effect. Overall, for gaming , i might be leaning towards samsung , but for watching movies, i might go with sony for better depths.
Samsung just always nicer . I saw in Bestbuy already. The QN90C looked Significantly nicer than X90L. Let’s not PLAY SONY flagship X95L mush as “smooth” its just inferior tv. If 3D Video GAME(not even real life footage) they can do so much mush, i dont know how they will play real life scenario look like. 😊
The picture quality comparison was hands down for the Sony, but now the tables have turned. The Samsung definitely wins in gaming. I’m actually surprised by the result. After I saw the picture quality comparison, I assumed Sony would win both; that’s definitely not the case. Brian, please, I beg you, do a picture quality comparison between the QN900C and the X95L.
I have the x95l, and it does look fantastic for gaming! However, I will add that I like a very natural looking picture(note the Sony has tons of color but natural). I love that Brian does these comparisons though because it's very helpful for individuals. I preferred the picture on the Sony for both comparisons, but I completely understand why people would choose one or the other for the flexibility or preference. We appreciate you, Brian
@@guiltynessness8926 if we watch 720p or 1080p movies and shows on this does it get pixelated from 9 feet? How is this for movies only no gaming and how is sound quality inbuilt does it need soundbar for 13 feet by 16 room?
They both look stunning but If I was buying one I would have to go with the Samsung because it will be cheaper out of the two and have 4 hdmi 2.1 and with the money you will save you may also pick up a half decent Samsung soundbar with it plus I took ownership of a Samsung QN 700b in 75” yesterday I did want it in 83” but couldn’t get one and on Samsung website it was showing at 75” so it makes me think 75” is the biggest they do for that 8k tv so plus I have a sweet spot for Samsung right now that’s saying something for me as I’ve been a LG 0led guy for years now
Based on my previous soul destroying dealings with Samsung, the Sony would be my choice. Now the proof has been revealed that the Sony out performs the Samsung as a "movie" tv it really is a no brainer for me.
If your a stats person its the Sony.. but if you want flexibility and abilty to adjust pic from source to source.. Samsung hands down.. I like em both but proof is in the viewing..
Sony is no joke. I have the 95K and I’m perfectly happy with that. I’m good for years down the road. But if you get a Samsung, that’s a nice TV as well but for me accuracy picture a quality the best I have to roll with Sony
Thank your for the great video again 👍 😊You are right about Samsung, but Sony is a better option for me because I use it for other purposes than just gaming and i'am Sony Man😄
Great comparision dude. How is the dse on both? And did you messuret the brightness off the x95l? First reviews says that the 75inch euro version hits 1500-1700nits
Both looks like they handle blooming well in gaming. That said if you pause right at this time stamp 22:20 and look at the miles Morales character. You can see it's blueish by his back and pants. Also the pants have no detail just blueish bloom. The Sony on the right exhibit none of that. This could be indicative in any game where a similar scenario might show up. Sony might win in that area. But it could also have been Brian's settings that exacerbated it.
hey Brian just subscribed nice videos though. 2 questions my friend, is x95l a QD TV? and which of this tv's has more Colour punch? I will decide one of this tv's to purchase.
Can the QN95C be made to look like the X95L when watching movies as well? Were the differences you saw in your last video only because you didn't tweak the settings to make them match?
Hey Brian, thanks for shooting these comparison videos. I recently bought the QN90B 85" because it was $1609 through Samsung's Employee Purchase Program. The deal is no longer valid. I couldnt be happier. 4x HDMI 2.1, bright HDR Highlights. Its easily the best non OLED I ever owned.
@@wingedhussar1453 Through Samsung's EPP discount program. You can access similar discounts with a valid Triple AAA membership or your work email might be eligible. That deal is long gone now, and I don't know what type of deals you'll see on the QN90B from here on out due to dwindling stock. Good luck on your search.
@@BRIANSTECHTHERAPYI don't know if you'll see this but my QN90B has a defective panel after we installed it. I contacted Samsung and they couldn't get a replacement panel so I received the QN95C 85" as an warranty exchange. Best Mini-LED I ever owned!
I think only the A95L has all 4 HDMI ports compatible with HDMI 2.1 specs. That's due to the TV having a new mediatech chipset inside it. Tab bit frustrating for those who bought or buying a new 2023 Sony TV below the A95L in their 2023 lineup.
@@gunnyo50Nope. The A95L only has two HDMI 2.1 inputs. Whenever MediaTek figures out how to add 4x HDMI 2.1 ports, everyone will be talking about because a ton of TVs with the MediaTek chipset only has two HDMI 2.1 inputs.
VRR isn't enabled as there are no splitter capabilities. Now that said is VRR hurts picture quality that wouldn't be considered a strength of the Sony. Thank you for watching
I liked the Original mode the best on the Samsung. Everything else blows out the colors and skin tones. Looked like Aloy had a massive make-up layer of blush on her face from chin to forehead. Sony just looked better and more natural. Funnily enough, Samsung could not match that natural look, so for me it would be the X95L, and that's an easy choise. No need for thousand options that mess with the picture.
I agree and ironically that Original mode makes it looks the closest to the Sony. Which should tell us all something. Also, Brian kept the Sony in "Brightness preferred" basically in all games. The Sony would look even better in Gradation preferred because it retains more detail and contrast and doesn't clip highlights and blow out so much. The Sony might lack settings. But it's base level is already good, Just a tiny tweak here and there to gamma or black level and it could change enough. The Sony won in movies/demos hands down IMO. So even if QN95C has more options in game mode. I think the Sony game mode is good. So combined it's best overall.
@@loki76 the Sony is accurate You can put the Samsung in original mode and make it look accurate. The Sony can't ever look juiced up like the Samsung though that's the main difference. He said that maybe 5x in the video. The Sony lacks settings and what they do have doesn't so much when used in game mode.
I do like the options that Samsung has to adjust the picture for gaming….but I think overall the X95 is the TV for me. I hope Sony comes out with an update in the near future to compete in the gaming space. Thank you for taking the time to show the comparison. Much appreciated
Still overall sony x95l, but samsung doing good especially *if not mistaken lower input lag in game mode and more flexibility. Agreed with you bros bring back dynamic contrast. Sony
Hi Brian, i currently have the 65" X95k and still within the return period, the blooming is there which i see quite abit, thinking of getting the 95L, now if i don't use game mode on the 95L, can i get the colours more punchier saturated as i do use different presets on the 95K standard, custom, vivid etc.. for gaming as VRR dose not bother me? i live in the uk, so i am able to get the 65" X95L Thanks
Do you capture your footage with two separate cameras? Otherwise the camera will always favour one TV because it can only adapt to one device at a time. The footage will then be useless for comparisons and the viewers.
I can prove it wont be problem if u have MORE advanced Camera n shooting from 15-18 feet away. Then zoom in. I tried with my 2 QLEDS tonight at home side by side. Litearllly shocked how they held up no blooming . Yeah,,,d Distance is KEY . Usually ppl shoot in smaller room they directly put Camera 9-10 feet away instead of going FAR then ZOOM in.
Thank you for the video. I am returning my Sony X85K back to the store. I miss the clarity, brightness, and color on the TV. It feels like the screen is shrouded in white (no FALD, but even with FALD the colors lack clarity). I'm thinking of taking the QN95C.
Are you forced to use the game preset when gaming? Can you achieve better picture quality with the other modes ? If so, what are cons of not using the game preset.
Facs, it doesn't matter if you play a broken HDR game on a reference monitor. One of the latest Games, Lies of Pi, has the same and common black level raise we see in all Auto HDR supported games. The game does support the HDR calibration app, and all of this is on Win11
Do you have any QN95C HDR vs SDR content? HDR seems to have a mediocre application in games this far, but this QN95C seems to be able to let you alter HDR image to a great degree, I'm wondering how that adjusted image compares to SDR
HEY BRAIN AMAZING COMPARISON , AS USUAL BUT NEED A BIT OF YOUR EXPERTISE IN FINDING OUT " WHERE THE HELL , DO WE FIND THE OPTION TO SAFELY EJECT USB'S AND HARD DRIVES IN SAMSUNG TV'S LOVE FROM INDIA
Samsung looks better. Not sure what these others are seeing, but it’s really not that close. Bigger question is what the Samsung looks like compared to the qm8
Thanks for these excellent exclusives Brian. Keep them coming. Here in the UK the X95L comes in 65" and 75" as well as 85. But can i trust the smaller sizes to have the same performance? Based on the past I don't think so sadly. I just might be tempted to get the 75!!! Keep up the great work!
This is an awesome comparison. So i just happened to head into my local best buy to look for a sound bar and i was able to see the Hisense Uled X in box form. They didn't have it out and only had one but it was there. That means they are in the wild finally. Any chance you'll get a review or comparison up?! It's 85 inches so it could be possibility!
21:46, if I understand correctly Sony has taken away two options in the settings or at least some of the profiles within those options: black adjust and contrast enhancer? if thats the case, is there any possibility they will introduce them with a firmware update?
another great video as usual Brian. Sorry to ask you so many questions but I really value your opinion. Sony x95l vs Samsung s95c? Which one wins? Thank you so much. Peter
If your in the United States the X95L wins as it's 85" and if you have the room no 77" can replace it . However if you are coming from a smaller size and 77" is big enough the S95C is simply impossible to beat. If you're not in the US and are looking at the smaller size X95L the S95C see at the same size easily beats it.
Well this is why you prefer the Samsung even though you said the L looks better because you like to game so it's a better fit for your use case. Either way they both look great so not really missing much 👍
@@BRIANSTECHTHERAPY you were talking about contrast control and color control that couldn’t be adjusted in game mode. They can fix that in an update. 144 hz is a different story.
X90L has a cleaner look with better upscaling. The QN90B had better local dimming and is the superior gaming choice. I'd probably go QN90B. But I'm also a gamer.
What’s good Brian thanks for another dope video my only issue with the Sony TVs are the motion year after year it’s the same and the game bar looks too generic I hope in a update sony can make it look more presentable like lg and Samsung
These two tv's are absolutely awesome. Choosing between them is pure torture.If I were forced to choose one at gunpoint I would take the Sony as the picture clarity and depth are terrifying. Also I utterly detest the annoying Samsung gremlin remote. Apart from that you couldn't go wrong with the Samsung
22:20 look at Miles at this exact freeze frame. You can see the blueish blooming on the Samsung and no detail. But the Sony has none of that. I know it's a split second. But that is very interesting. 24:36 Sony looks way better here. Your custom (I know preference) is way too blue and remove the warmth and detail of color gradients etc. Brown is gone from the trees. Kratos stands out more on the Sony. It's that XR working. The Returnal looked best on the Sony. Somehow the Sony has the character stand out more in the image. Also, it comes down to gradation preferred. It overall makes image better on Sony. Some scenes might not show as much, but in others it's a huge difference from having the washed out brightness preferred. It's hard. The Sony might like extra settings options. But It seems pretty nice though and I know it can be tweaked a tiny bit more with certain settings.
@BRIAN hy Brother , i want to get one of this TV,s. Can u help me to decide? Looking from Monitor is not so good to decide witch one is better.For me is importat Build Quality , Picture Quality and Gamind , Movies....Witch one has the best picture quality? Witch one is the fastest one?
As a monitor I'd have to go with the Samsung. It has ultra wide , 144hz gaming , the game bar and also has more flexibility of image. It also does movies and streaming very well. Hope this helps
I AM SONY TV LOVER. WHAT EVER GREATEST REVIEW OF OTHER BRANDS, I AM ALWAYS 100% TRUST ON SONY BRANDS AND PRODUCTS SONY PRODUCE. SONY IS ABSOLUTELY LEADER IN TECHNOLOGY VISION & SOUNDS COMPANY. EVEN HOLLYWOOD STILL BELIEVE IN SONY BRANDS. I AM OWN SONY LED SMART TV SINCE PAST A DECADE. EVEN SAMSUNG, LG, HISENSE, ETC CANNOT COMPETE WITH SONY TV TECHNOLOGY. ❤ U SONY. 👏👏👏 MANKIND SHOULD THANKS TO SONY PRODUCE MAGIC COLOURS, SOUNDS, MOTION VISUAL AND USER-FRIENDLY TECHNOLOGY.
At times I like the Samsung better. On the Samsung there was a yellowish trailer in days gone that looked too green, but the pancakes looked amazing in that scene. The jeans of the character looked more realistic on the Sony in days gone. Souls game looks amazing on both, the outdoors is better on Samsung, the hallway looks better on the Sony. Man what's a person got to do?
Samsung TVs generally look oversaturated to me and the QN95C is no exception. Picture wise I'd pick the Sony X95L but I don't like that it only has 2 HDMI 2.1 ports. I also don't like that the Sony's game bar doesn't show frame per second like the Samsung does.
As always great vid,…I do care about artist and directors intent,,,but I care more about my eyes intent,beauty is on the eye of the beholder.as far as the Sony,….does the tv have to be in game mode while gaming or can I use a different picture modes,…thanks in advance.
the Sony seemed to have more depth. The tree in the first game looked like it was in the distance on the Sony while on the Samsung it looked like a painting. Same with the backgrounds on Streetfighter. I didn't notice much difference on the Soul's game.
You can put the Sony and vrr to go to the settings and go down to external input and put it on vrr gaming and you can get Poppin colors like Samsung just like you put it on Dolby vision HDR 4K when you first turn on the TV it has one last sitting on that
Does anyone know how many dimming Zones each of the TV's has? I read that Samsung has way more dimming zones then Sony and so i am scared that Sony has more Blooming than the new Samsung
These two tv’s are like choosing a new Chevy Colorado or a Ford Ranger.I’m a Samsung and Chevy guy but the Sony and a Ranger aren’t much different in looks,style,quality and ratings.
I find the X95l more natural what the picture on the games is in Spiderman the green to intensive i finde the X95l better Choice and i like the natural colours and all :). The X95l ist one of many television. Good Video and interessing see the different to this 2 television and in one game demon souls the picture good too but in all another X95l better in Street Fighter 6 the cherry tree the colour from the pink. one of my favorite youtuber when to a good choice to buy a new television and i like this videos to see how the diffrent and very good to buy the sony or samsung or another publisher.
The challenge with refurbished is that it typically means someone simply returned it. It feels like it should mean repaired or cleaned up. I never purchase them. If they give you a return window and factory warranty than maybe. But not without those things. I hope this helps. Thank you so much for watching.
The most important regarding to colours is how close colours are to the standard of colours after TV calibration. Colours on Samsung does not look natural.
Hi Dennis! 77" is really an excellent size. I think the A95L will have some improvement however it will be very expensive. Also by the time it releases you'll only have a few months before Samsung releases a new and cheaper version. For me the S95C is as good as it gets.
I prefer a mostly natural look myself. Sometimes I go for a tiny amount of saturation in games, but anything more than a few points and it starts to look unnatural.

man that Sony is impressive, the high and low level difference is stunning with macro detail, shadow detail, gradations, natural colour 👌🏻
I have seen these videos a few times and I say that the X95L is a monster. Looks like a master series. Has many OLED qualities.

Based on my previous soul destroying dealings with Samsung, the Sony would be my choice. Now the proof has been revealed that the Sony out performs the Samsung as a "movie" tv it really is a no brainer for me.
Thanks Brian. Im loving these Qn95c videos. Im perfering the Samsung here Brian..its so rich in colour and the games look soooo good!!
Glad you are enjoying them Steve!
Hi ! And what about the "game motion plus" feature from samsung ? Less artifact/ghosting or 0 improvement compared to the previous year?
Cant wait to see both of these sets compared to Sony A95L.
We will all see the Sony A95L in 2 to 3 years..... Sony is in no rush at all to release its 2023 tv.
You'll see it in the first week in August Matt! Thank you for watching
The Sony STILL shows greater detail in practically every scene... Though I'm not a gamer still is a great comparison Brian!
If your a stats person its the Sony.. but if you want flexibility and abilty to adjust pic from source to source.. Samsung hands down.. I like em both but proof is in the viewing..
Sony is no joke. I have the 95K and I’m perfectly happy with that. I’m good for years down the road.
But if you get a Samsung, that’s a nice TV as well but for me accuracy picture a quality the best I have to roll with Sony
Sony's aftersale support however is a joke.
SONY delivers much more natural image presentation in various scenarios, so I must choose SONY.
Thank your for the great video again 👍 😊You are right about Samsung, but Sony is a better option for me because I use it for other purposes than just gaming and i'am Sony Man😄
Great comment Mika! Thank you for watching!
Samsung with pop colours for me looks better :))
Great comparision dude. How is the dse on both? And did you messuret the brightness off the x95l? First reviews says that the 75inch euro version hits 1500-1700nits
Thank you! The X95L goes just above 1700nits. The Q95C is just over 2000. Thank you for watching
The highlight detail processing on the x95l is in its own league every time
Excellent comparison Brian! Which TV has less blooming?
Both looks like they handle blooming well in gaming. That said if you pause right at this time stamp 22:20 and look at the miles Morales character. You can see it's blueish by his back and pants. Also the pants have no detail just blueish bloom. The Sony on the right exhibit none of that.
This could be indicative in any game where a similar scenario might show up. Sony might win in that area. But it could also have been Brian's settings that exacerbated it.
Sony has better local dimming. Almost Zero blooming
Hello..great video..Does the samsung tv supports full fat local dimming with VRR like the sony tv!?Thanks!!
It absolutely does, my friend. Thank you for watching
hey Brian just subscribed nice videos though. 2 questions my friend, is x95l a QD TV? and which of this tv's has more Colour punch? I will decide one of this tv's to purchase.
Can the QN95C be made to look like the X95L when watching movies as well? Were the differences you saw in your last video only because you didn't tweak the settings to make them match?
No
In movies the Samsung looks amazing but it's detail and clarity lags behind the X95L. You wouldn't notice it unless they were side by side
Hey Brian, thanks for shooting these comparison videos. I recently bought the QN90B 85" because it was $1609 through Samsung's Employee Purchase Program. The deal is no longer valid. I couldnt be happier. 4x HDMI 2.1, bright HDR Highlights. Its easily the best non OLED I ever owned.
Awesome my friend!! QN90B is excellent and I'm so glad you are loving it. Enjoy and I hope all is well my friend
@@BRIANSTECHTHERAPY You know I will! I know you'll enjoy your QN95C once it's delivered etc.
How ?thts super cheap
@@wingedhussar1453 Through Samsung's EPP discount program. You can access similar discounts with a valid Triple AAA membership or your work email might be eligible. That deal is long gone now, and I don't know what type of deals you'll see on the QN90B from here on out due to dwindling stock. Good luck on your search.
@@BRIANSTECHTHERAPYI don't know if you'll see this but my QN90B has a defective panel after we installed it. I contacted Samsung and they couldn't get a replacement panel so I received the QN95C 85" as an warranty exchange. Best Mini-LED I ever owned!
Thanks! Great video. Sony needs to bring 4 HDMI 2.1's... it's 2023, THIS IS INSANE!
I completely agree! Thank you for watching
I think only the A95L has all 4 HDMI ports compatible with HDMI 2.1 specs. That's due to the TV having a new mediatech chipset inside it. Tab bit frustrating for those who bought or buying a new 2023 Sony TV below the A95L in their 2023 lineup.
@@gunnyo50Nope. The A95L only has two HDMI 2.1 inputs. Whenever MediaTek figures out how to add 4x HDMI 2.1 ports, everyone will be talking about because a ton of TVs with the MediaTek chipset only has two HDMI 2.1 inputs.
Have u enabled VRR on the Sony? If yes, it’s a known thing that enabling VRR on Sony LCDs makes the picture quality slightly worse than with VRR off.
VRR isn't enabled as there are no splitter capabilities. Now that said is VRR hurts picture quality that wouldn't be considered a strength of the Sony. Thank you for watching
@@BRIANSTECHTHERAPY ok
I liked the Original mode the best on the Samsung. Everything else blows out the colors and skin tones. Looked like Aloy had a massive make-up layer of blush on her face from chin to forehead. Sony just looked better and more natural. Funnily enough, Samsung could not match that natural look, so for me it would be the X95L, and that's an easy choise. No need for thousand options that mess with the picture.
plus 1
I agree and ironically that Original mode makes it looks the closest to the Sony. Which should tell us all something.
Also, Brian kept the Sony in "Brightness preferred" basically in all games. The Sony would look even better in Gradation preferred because it retains more detail and contrast and doesn't clip highlights and blow out so much.
The Sony might lack settings. But it's base level is already good, Just a tiny tweak here and there to gamma or black level and it could change enough.
The Sony won in movies/demos hands down IMO. So even if QN95C has more options in game mode. I think the Sony game mode is good. So combined it's best overall.
@@loki76 the Sony is accurate You can put the Samsung in original mode and make it look accurate.
The Sony can't ever look juiced up like the Samsung though that's the main difference.
He said that maybe 5x in the video. The Sony lacks settings and what they do have doesn't so much when used in game mode.
Gradation preferred barely changed the image which I illustrated. If it did lower the brightness it certainly wouldn't have helped the Sony .
I do like the options that Samsung has to adjust the picture for gaming….but I think overall the X95 is the TV for me. I hope Sony comes out with an update in the near future to compete in the gaming space.
Thank you for taking the time to show the comparison. Much appreciated
Thank you for the great comment Barry! I'm glad you are enjoying the vids and thank you for watching
Still overall sony x95l, but samsung doing good especially *if not mistaken lower input lag in game mode and more flexibility. Agreed with you bros bring back dynamic contrast. Sony
Hi Brian, i currently have the 65" X95k and still within the return period, the blooming is there which i see quite abit, thinking of getting the 95L, now if i don't use game mode on the 95L, can i get the colours more punchier saturated as i do use different presets on the 95K standard, custom, vivid etc.. for gaming as VRR dose not bother me? i live in the uk, so i am able to get the 65" X95L Thanks
Hi Brian,
Do you know if sonos arc work well with samsung qn95c?
Having alot of sound issues cutting in and out with qn90b and sonos arc.
Do you capture your footage with two separate cameras? Otherwise the camera will always favour one TV because it can only adapt to one device at a time. The footage will then be useless for comparisons and the viewers.
I can prove it wont be problem if u have MORE advanced Camera n shooting from 15-18 feet away. Then zoom in. I tried with my 2 QLEDS tonight at home side by side. Litearllly shocked how they held up no blooming . Yeah,,,d Distance is KEY . Usually ppl shoot in smaller room they directly put Camera 9-10 feet away instead of going FAR then ZOOM in.
Thank you for the video. I am returning my Sony X85K back to the store. I miss the clarity, brightness, and color on the TV. It feels like the screen is shrouded in white (no FALD, but even with FALD the colors lack clarity). I'm thinking of taking the QN95C.
Are you forced to use the game preset when gaming? Can you achieve better picture quality with the other modes ? If so, what are cons of not using the game preset.
Inputlag ist much higher outside the gaming Mode
Hi Mr Brian both tvs have quantum dots? And I imagine the Sony is better overral?
Facs, it doesn't matter if you play a broken HDR game on a reference monitor. One of the latest Games, Lies of Pi, has the same and common black level raise we see in all Auto HDR supported games. The game does support the HDR calibration app, and all of this is on Win11
As always a wonderful review....thanks for video
Please compare the X95L to the A80L. I would like to here your opinion on for what kind of use case an A80L would be the better option.
I will be filming the a80L next week
Hey I have the qn900c 75 inch what are your recommended settings for gaming ? I’m using standard pre set with sharpness at 5 ?
Do you have any QN95C HDR vs SDR content? HDR seems to have a mediocre application in games this far, but this QN95C seems to be able to let you alter HDR image to a great degree, I'm wondering how that adjusted image compares to SDR
HEY BRAIN
AMAZING COMPARISON , AS USUAL
BUT
NEED A BIT OF YOUR EXPERTISE IN FINDING OUT
" WHERE THE HELL ,
DO WE FIND THE OPTION
TO SAFELY EJECT USB'S AND HARD DRIVES
IN SAMSUNG TV'S
LOVE FROM INDIA
but you, who have compared them live in terms of detail and sharpness of the image, who wins between the two Samsung or Sony?
So the sony looks great but as much as you try you can’t make it look like a Samsung cartoon, got it
As much i wanted to like the sony i ended up like the samsung as the colours look more vivid...and sonys coours look more pale
Samsung looks better. Not sure what these others are seeing, but it’s really not that close. Bigger question is what the Samsung looks like compared to the qm8
Everyone in the comments says that the X95L looks awesome. Am I the only one here that objectively finds the colors of the QN95C more satisfying?
Thanks for these excellent exclusives Brian. Keep them coming. Here in the UK the X95L comes in 65" and 75" as well as 85. But can i trust the smaller sizes to have the same performance? Based on the past I don't think so sadly. I just might be tempted to get the 75!!! Keep up the great work!
Sony did confirm there is no performance difference between all of those sizes to one of the influencers, but this is still yet to be tested.
Thank you so much my friend! I'll be asking Sony directly if there is a difference in the sizes. I'll do a video on it.
@@ShadiFagihi yes they confirmed it to me however I need to go back and get more details
This is an awesome comparison. So i just happened to head into my local best buy to look for a sound bar and i was able to see the Hisense Uled X in box form. They didn't have it out and only had one but it was there. That means they are in the wild finally. Any chance you'll get a review or comparison up?! It's 85 inches so it could be possibility!
21:46, if I understand correctly Sony has taken away two options in the settings or at least some of the profiles within those options: black adjust and contrast enhancer? if thats the case, is there any possibility they will introduce them with a firmware update?
another great video as usual Brian. Sorry to ask you so many questions but I really value your opinion. Sony x95l vs Samsung s95c? Which one wins? Thank you so much. Peter
If your in the United States the X95L wins as it's 85" and if you have the room no 77" can replace it . However if you are coming from a smaller size and 77" is big enough the S95C is simply impossible to beat. If you're not in the US and are looking at the smaller size X95L the S95C see at the same size easily beats it.
Well this is why you prefer the Samsung even though you said the L looks better because you like to game so it's a better fit for your use case. Either way they both look great so not really missing much 👍
Easy fix for Sony to fix with an update for the game adjustments. For me it’s movies, SDR broadcast and sports. SONY DESTROYS SAMMY in these.
You can't update what's not in the SOC. You can't add 144hz or ultra wide . You can't add things that aren't possible in an update.
@@BRIANSTECHTHERAPY you were talking about contrast control and color control that couldn’t be adjusted in game mode. They can fix that in an update. 144 hz is a different story.
55 X90l or 55 qn90b ?? Both coming at same price here in india.
X90L has a cleaner look with better upscaling. The QN90B had better local dimming and is the superior gaming choice. I'd probably go QN90B. But I'm also a gamer.
@@BRIANSTECHTHERAPY i m not a gamer. Tv will mostly b using for watching movie, ott streams etc.
@@thinksolve2880x90l man
Samsung always best solution for gaming QN 90b is unstoppable force and still counting 2023
Great video!! The Samsung looks way better.
Thanks Brian, can you compare X95L and 85X95K? Is the blooming control on the X95L much better? I've heard X95L is a bit dimmer compared to X95K.
I'll be comparing the 85" X95L VS X93L . The X93L is very similar to last years X95K
I see you with the Polk L 800’s in the background. You care about sound too 👍🏿
What’s good Brian thanks for another dope video my only issue with the Sony TVs are the motion year after year it’s the same and the game bar looks too generic I hope in a update sony can make it look more presentable like lg and Samsung
These two tv's are absolutely awesome. Choosing between them is pure torture.If I were forced to choose one at gunpoint I would take the Sony as the picture clarity and depth are terrifying. Also I utterly detest the annoying Samsung gremlin remote. Apart from that you couldn't go wrong with the Samsung
22:20 look at Miles at this exact freeze frame. You can see the blueish blooming on the Samsung and no detail. But the Sony has none of that. I know it's a split second. But that is very interesting.
24:36 Sony looks way better here. Your custom (I know preference) is way too blue and remove the warmth and detail of color gradients etc. Brown is gone from the trees. Kratos stands out more on the Sony. It's that XR working.
The Returnal looked best on the Sony. Somehow the Sony has the character stand out more in the image. Also, it comes down to gradation preferred. It overall makes image better on Sony. Some scenes might not show as much, but in others it's a huge difference from having the washed out brightness preferred.
It's hard. The Sony might like extra settings options. But It seems pretty nice though and I know it can be tweaked a tiny bit more with certain settings.
@BRIAN hy Brother , i want to get one of this TV,s. Can u help me to decide? Looking from Monitor is not so good to decide witch one is better.For me is importat Build Quality , Picture Quality and Gamind , Movies....Witch one has the best picture quality? Witch one is the fastest one?
As a monitor I'd have to go with the Samsung. It has ultra wide , 144hz gaming , the game bar and also has more flexibility of image. It also does movies and streaming very well. Hope this helps
What made you choose this TV over your C1?
Can I ask why you put the Samsung in custom 1? In standard isn't that a much more accurate image that doesn't overpunch the saturation?
Yes but it's a little to cartoony. Custom 1 is my preference which is accurate with punch. Thank you for watching
Another great video 👏X95L and A80L comparison would be great since the price point is similar.
I'll be filming the A80L this week
I AM SONY TV LOVER. WHAT EVER GREATEST REVIEW OF OTHER BRANDS, I AM ALWAYS 100% TRUST ON SONY BRANDS AND PRODUCTS SONY PRODUCE.
SONY IS ABSOLUTELY LEADER IN TECHNOLOGY VISION & SOUNDS COMPANY.
EVEN HOLLYWOOD STILL BELIEVE IN SONY BRANDS.
I AM OWN SONY LED SMART TV SINCE PAST A DECADE.
EVEN SAMSUNG, LG, HISENSE, ETC CANNOT COMPETE WITH SONY TV TECHNOLOGY.
❤ U SONY. 👏👏👏
MANKIND SHOULD THANKS TO SONY PRODUCE MAGIC COLOURS, SOUNDS, MOTION VISUAL AND
USER-FRIENDLY TECHNOLOGY.
At times I like the Samsung better. On the Samsung there was a yellowish trailer in days gone that looked too green, but the pancakes looked amazing in that scene. The jeans of the character looked more realistic on the Sony in days gone. Souls game looks amazing on both, the outdoors is better on Samsung, the hallway looks better on the Sony.
Man what's a person got to do?
Samsung TVs generally look oversaturated to me and the QN95C is no exception. Picture wise I'd pick the Sony X95L but I don't like that it only has 2 HDMI 2.1 ports. I also don't like that the Sony's game bar doesn't show frame per second like the Samsung does.
Gamma levels in Sony and black plus dimming zone on high will make Sony picture look darker but still keep the clarity detail look great
Costum 1 mode on Samsung is still in game mode right?
Yes, it's part of the many presets in game mode . Thank you for watching
As always great vid,…I do care about artist and directors intent,,,but I care more about my eyes intent,beauty is on the eye of the beholder.as far as the Sony,….does the tv have to be in game mode while gaming or can I use a different picture modes,…thanks in advance.
You can wander outside of game mode however you will lose vrr and allm but that is to be expected.
Even in the gaming Sony looks natural.😂
the Sony seemed to have more depth. The tree in the first game looked like it was in the distance on the Sony while on the Samsung it looked like a painting. Same with the backgrounds on Streetfighter. I didn't notice much difference on the Soul's game.
You can put the Sony and vrr to go to the settings and go down to external input and put it on vrr gaming and you can get Poppin colors like Samsung just like you put it on Dolby vision HDR 4K when you first turn on the TV it has one last sitting on that
Any issues with sony's (big) input lag?
Hi, is there that Sony future to adjust picture size e.g. on 85' tv display 55' picture size?
It's definitely a feature that is on its way and is interesting. But not here as of yet.
Does anyone know how many dimming Zones each of the TV's has?
I read that Samsung has way more dimming zones then Sony and so i am scared that Sony has more Blooming than the new Samsung
Wow, in your last vid, I preferred the Sony. For gaming, the Samsung looks much better to me in every setting. Especially in Custom 1.
Brian, saw Best Buy is selling the B3 77" for $3200 and the G2 77" for $3300. That should be a no brainer for most people, buy the G2!
Sony ❤💯
Great video agian my man
Thank you Dennis!
These two tv’s are like choosing a new Chevy Colorado or a Ford Ranger.I’m a Samsung and Chevy guy but the Sony and a Ranger aren’t much different in looks,style,quality and ratings.
Sony❤
I find the X95l more natural what the picture on the games is in Spiderman the green to intensive i finde the X95l better Choice and i like the natural colours and all :). The X95l ist one of many television. Good Video and interessing see the different to this 2 television and in one game demon souls the picture good too but in all another X95l better in Street Fighter 6 the cherry tree the colour from the pink. one of my favorite youtuber when to a good choice to buy a new television and i like this videos to see how the diffrent and very good to buy the sony or samsung or another publisher.
I found a refurbished x95l for $2999 should i indulge?
The challenge with refurbished is that it typically means someone simply returned it. It feels like it should mean repaired or cleaned up. I never purchase them. If they give you a return window and factory warranty than maybe. But not without those things. I hope this helps. Thank you so much for watching.
Is Sony releasing the X95L in 65" in the US?
The most important regarding to colours is how close colours are to the standard of colours after TV calibration. Colours on Samsung does not look natural.
Hey bri, if 77 is a great size tv for me should i just get the s95c?
Hi Dennis! 77" is really an excellent size. I think the A95L will have some improvement however it will be very expensive. Also by the time it releases you'll only have a few months before Samsung releases a new and cheaper version. For me the S95C is as good as it gets.
@BRIANSTECHTHERAPY I'm starting to think that too bri. Everytime I see it in best buy it looks stellar. The clarity and detail.
I prefer a mostly natural look myself. Sometimes I go for a tiny amount of saturation in games, but anything more than a few points and it starts to look unnatural.
Wher best ?
SAMSUNG has better picture quality than SONY. Am I mistaken? I think SAMSUNG highlights the material more solid and 3D sense.
Interesting the color based on both tv are different one with blue and other with green
