Could not agree more with all of the comments, Vincent. Please don't change how you review technology. We subscribe and watch your reviews because you are thorough and precise. Don't worry about what others are doing. You got to where you are being Vincent.
Vincent, you built this channel on highly technical TV reviews (with a touch of humor we all love) and this is what you should continue doing, nobody else does it as good as you do. This doesn't mean you can't experiment with different video formats and shorter less in depth and technical videos as long as you keep your reviews the same. As far as I am concerned make as many unboxing, TV news, settings and other similar types of videos as you can/want, and there are plenty of ways to experiment with those types of videos. Also one way to maybe try to increase views is to review more cheap and lower mid range TVs, those are the ones that get sold way more than flagship and high mid range TVs you review and hardly anyone reviews those, especially not someone as knowledgeable as you. And since those TV are bought by less demanding people, the reviews can be less detailed and less time consuming to do, might not even call them reviews so as to not dilute your brand, but something like overviews. Or you might just skip reviewing cheap TVs and jump straight to short comparisons such as this video but for cheapo TVs, for example AU8000 vs Q60A or Q70A. Despite the fact that most TV purists/enthusiasts would say that you shouldn't buy any of those TVs the reality is millions and millions of people do and in this day and age when reviews of everything are the most popular they've ever been many would be buyers would watch a comparison video or review by somebody who knows what he is talking about.
I sympathise with you seeing other creators get more views and wondering why or what you could do different. But I (and presumably many others) watch you because of your in-depth-ness and enjoy the slower, relaxed presentation style. Being good at what you do and appealing strongly to a niche audience is at least better than appealing to no-one. Keep up the great work.
I am a low voltage contractor. I sell and install TVs. Your videos have helped me stay ahead of my competition with these technical insights. Thank you!
@@AGuy-vq9qp Rtings is good but they dont show much of a real world usage. It's all numbers for them. Some aspects are even graded subjectively like the local dimming feature.
Vincent I would recommend you releasing a "first impressions" video so you don't miss out on the release windows that other channels are having, but still do the more detailed tech specs analysis afterwards because that and your experience is the real highlight of your channel.
Definitely! I have no idea if this is practical or even possible, but I think a first impression segment backed by an out of the box color accuracy measurement would help the unboxing/menuing videos stand out while retaining the technical flair of the channel.
I hope you keep making your in depth technical reviews (at least for the higher class TVs). It's the reason you are my goto channel for TV reviews and basically the only opinion i care about. You bring up points very few people do, like the shitty local dimming performance from Samsung TVs in Game Mode.
Vincent, I appreciate the effort put forward by you in your reviews and comparisons. The level of detail adds authority/credibility to the subject. If I wanted some one to tell me "this one is pretty" I would watch elsewhere. PS. I hope you get out a X95J review before black Friday, I need some more courage to dare come home with a 77A80J"
I saw your review of the A80J and in that Mad Max scene the X900H looks identical to the OLED in terms of contrast. The X90J gets brighter but makes the image have less contrast making the pq of the X900H have more of a 3 dimensional depth to it.
You can start a side channel. The quick shot videos in that, the more in depth videos here. This way you can cater for both audiences. I'd assume you can reuse data from the quick videos in the full depth ones and reduce the time needed to manage two channels. No matter what, remember to keep the jokes, they are great!
Your videos are top notch! As someone who really appreciates your content, I would suggest you do more 4K bluray HDR analysis videos. Those videos are important for those of us that love physical media. I think you can do more of these types of videos in shorter periods of time and there are always new 4k HDR blurays coming out both new movies and SDR to 4K HDR remastered transfers from older movies. Even when you use freeze frames because of copyright, those videos are always appreciated for those of us looking for well mastered HDR films 🎥! 💯
Please keep on bringing these technically laden videos, you're the only one on youtube that goes that deep (ding) into this stuff, and i love all the detail.
For me you give the best and most well-founded reasoning for any consideration of buying a tv...can't wait for your reviews on the TVs I consider to buy.
Hi! I just came across this video because my 900H has begun displaying shadows/dark areas in the corner and I have an option of trying to get it fixed or upgrading to the 90J. I'll be honest and say that much of what you said is quite technical for me but I listened to every word and was amazed that I was able to understand what you were saying due to the side by side video. I was hoping that the video didn't end with just the comparison and that you would offer a recommendation, which you did! Thank you so much for all the time you spent setting everything up and posting this. You must have great patience and I want to let you know that I truly appreciate it.
I hope that you will keep the present, geeky and technical style of your rewievs. There is no one better, no one greater for the job. If not, just make sure that upcoming X95J and Z9J rewievs will remain oldschool... This year im replacing my 65XE93 on one of those two but in 75 inch size and need to know everything before i make the purchase. All best and see you in the next video!
Just bought a 55” X90J! What a huge difference over my previous RCA RTU5540-C, there’s so many times I’ve gone “wow I’ve never noticed that detail before!” Or “it looks like I’m in the same room as whatever is on the TV” very happy with my purchase. The only thing I’ll say that I am disappointed in is when subtitles flash on the whole tv darkens and in between subtitles it goes back to normal so the result is this weird flashing. (Might just be Disney+, haven’t tried any else yet)
this is what still prevents me from buying a new TV, I watch too much content with subtitles and can't stand that blooming. I'm trying to avoid buying an OLED TV :(
Hi vincent , Please don't get discouraged with what others are doing, keep doing the way you do. we all completly appreciate the effort & the passion you have to show us the reviews ,tips for tech products . you are different to others & you are excellent.
Vincent, I really appreciate your videos out of all the reviews. You helped me make the decision to buy my A80J 77inch- you are the only one that mentioned the panel type. I know Caleb and all these other guys get more views- i get that, but i view them as just quick fun - real decisions are made from your videos/ tweets
You are the master at tv reviews! The other channels just put out fluff and don’t really know what they are talking about. I hope you continue and are able to get more viewers!
Hey Demo, has the picture been pretty smooth when watching movies/tv on your x90j? Heard Sony deals with stutter better than other brands. Ty in advance man!
@@towelman8589 I use it daily with Xbox series s and man it’s so beautiful for gaming, I have literally no input lag and the graphics are insane even with just the series s. Tested my bro’s ps5 on it and man this tv has me set for the next 10 years
@@towelman8589 you won’t regret this tv, it still surprises me with how good it looks when I play new or older games and movies even after 3 months since buying
much better video then the previous one ! thank you very much ! xh90 deserves one more point for build quality ☝️ are those 65 or 55 inchers being compared???
@@hdtvtest @HDTVTest thanks , just got it on 11:48 ...btw don''t xh90 have 32 local dimming zones in all the sizes, while 55"x90j goes 24 and 65" goes 32 zones?
Vincent - NO ONE gets close to your reviews. Don't change a thing apart from previous 'funny voice'. Keep doing it as you currently do, agree with all previous comments three times over. Best wishes.
It will be a shame if you stop doing reviews this in-depth, but I get that it’s a lot of work. Other reviews are good, they’re fine, but these videos are the tops, this is the sort of stuff that helps make the purchase decision. No one else is doing a comparison like this of 2 mid-range TVs that most people are probably looking to buy, instead it’s all OLED and top of the line expensive TVs most can’t afford. So this is extremely appreciated, great stuff.
Thanks for the comparison video. I was having a little buyers remorse from buying an 85 inch X900h but after seeing this video I feel better. Especially considering I got it for $1800 on prime day and the current price for the X90j is 2800. Thanks again!
Going to deep is what I’m here for .You make it easier for us to know how and what to buy that meet our needs .Your my go to before I go and get a new TV . Thanxx and keep doing what you do .
Perhaps a direction to take with the specifics and technical differences between the 2 TVs, would be to highlight and pinpoint visually, in the video, which areas you are actually describing, for eg. more blooming over which areas in local dimming, or micro-stutter in broadcast channels or where the gradation lines are on the PS5 play.
Can you please do a three way shoot out between the Sony X900H or X90H, the Sony X90J and the Sony X95J please... i love your detailed technical discussions, thanks.
I enjoy your detailed technical analysis. At the same time, I understand you do this for a living and time is money. At the very least I'd like to see at least one mode fully calibrated and compared against a referenced panel without "perceptual" matching. I don't understand why perceptual matching is a thing nowadays on reviews since a regular paid consumer calibration is only done with a spectrophotometer, is it not? I doubt they carry a reference Sony monitor around. Wouldn't "eyeballing" after that throw it off?
This is the best X90J review I have seen yet. I had doubts about the panel but you’ve given me enough reassurance that the X90J is a sizeable upgrade over the X900H.
Not in some important aspects. That blooming was pretty bad. And latency was better on xh90 and build quality looks nicer. Cost difference is not worth it imo
For me it was shocking the bad reviews it was getting, I have the 50" X90j and im was impressed. I thought there was something wrong with me cause I wasn't detecting the issues reviewers were noting.
@@griffenxzable totally agree. I also have the 50” X90J and purchased it about a week after it came out. Then all the bad reviews came out for it and I was confused. This TV blew me away the moment I turned it on. From movies to my PS5, my jaw dropped. This will be the most underrated/under appreciated TV of 2021.
@@mivanp2185 X900H at the moment is not capable to output 4k 120hz and drops the vertical resolution where as X90J is capable to output 4k 120hz. So if you are a gamer looking for that 4k 120hz gaming, X900H wouldn't be a good fit.
@@John-qh3sl It still does it 4k 120 though albeit halved verticle resolution which isnt acceptable but does have better latency. So better in gaming terms at 4k 60 and 120 in that respect.
Vincent you are the best tv reviewer on TH-cam, you know what you are talking about and go leagues more indepth than most other reviewers. Other channels may have flashy intros and high end cameras and summarize very well but i always watch those videos with a grain of salt. Most people like simple explanations like it's brighter or it has good color. I think once you start talking about near black chrominance overshoot and dci p3 color space most people are lost and don't have a clue what you are talking about. But I actually appreciate you going so in depth because you tell it like it is, if a tv performs poorly you say it. You would be surprised how many people don't understand what 4k means or what smart TV means. Love your videos Vincent keep up the great work!
Great comparison. Whatever you decide, I hope you will still do your deep dive reviews of the “big” TVs each year. Your videos have helped me a lot with my purchase decisions.
You are the only one with the knowledge and tools to actually produce proper reviews and comparisons. So many others just unbox and start filming...with no calibration or investigation. Just pure marketing. Without the work you do these companies have nobody to hold them accountable for improvement year to year.
Long long time ago in 2009 I had the privilege to find your review of the Sony KDL 40W5500. I was stunned by the level of knowledge and technical detail. Today my beloved 40W5500 passed away and I am looking for a worthy replacement. It took me some time to find your channel again, but I am very glad I found it. Please do not change your reviews. There is no other channel that is as good as yours.
Don't stop what your doing man. This is by far the best reviewing Channel for tvs I ever seen. I really enjoy your jokes and sense of humor. You are the gamer nexus reviewer for tvs!! Thank you. This channel makes me comfortable and soothes my ocd
I watch your content just because you're so in-depth technical. I bought a Sony HT-A7000 soundbar because some reviewers said it's nice. I returned it because it was not. Then I saw a more in-depth reviewer talking about the HT-A9 and why it's much better than the A7000 so I bought it. I LOVE my second decision. Now I'm in dire need of a new TV (my 2015 KD-49X8307C is not up to the task anymore) and I solely rely on your expertise.
Thinking about returning my LG CX and getting this. Oled looks nice but has absolutely horrible motion stutter and I can’t stand watching sdr content or playing 30fps games on it
@@sharebear421 well if you used to OLED blacks the only alternative is QD OLED but im not sure if they suffer with the same issue that OLEDs, not to mention they cost triple OLED's price lol
@@eugeneskillful8053 I’ve heard mini led is really god but I’ve been looking at rtings reviews and a lot of the newer TVs have terrible stutter score so idk haha
Vincent, you have set the standard for TV reviews! I mean, even RTINGS doesn't check near black gradation and instead only measures contrast... Videos from other channels seem to rather help people feel better about their purchase, than to be actually critical. I think this helps with traffic, but it is useless in the long run.
Thanks Vincent for your effort you put into every review, Its a shame when reviewers put the data in front of us but people are looking for the Flash( instant gratification.)
Wow this guy really knows his stuff! I just bought a 50" x90j today, an upgrade to my previous tv that was an 11 year old 1080p. Didn't understand half of this but definitely appreciate how educated this guy is and was good to learn a bit!
Vincent your channel is EXCELLENT as-is. No need to change anything. Maybe a lot of people just haven't found it yet. If they did they wouldn't watch the other review channels any more
Content is still worth in 2022 ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐, thankyou very much for your efforts. Not like other channels the technical explanation and the standard examples shown guide us to get the product we need. Awesome work Keep it up !!!👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍
Hey Vincent - Stay the course as always! Have always been a silent viewer of all your technical deep dive videos and this is literally my first TH-cam comment :) Just wanted to say keep up the good work & keep em coming. Oh, and please review the Z9J - Been waiting to purchase it but with lack of any reviews, I am holding back for now. I wouldn't trust anyone else with that review ;)
Excellent comparison as always! For me at least you are my go to channel for TV reviews. The technical aspects you touch on are never found in any other videos here. However I’m sure that a video format such as this one will attract a wider audience. Keep up the good work and I’m waiting for you to put your hands on the TCL C825 Mini-LED.
Hi Vincent, as others have started; please keep doing what you're doing. Personally I love your indepth reviews. I'd also love to see a Sony XH95 comparison to Sony XJ95 by yourself.
Mostly happy with my XH92. Apart from the BACK button on the remote which seems to stick slightly, the power nag screens and the lack of an Android 10 and VRR update.
You are a video-phile/technician and your complete assessment shows that. A person with limited understanding will not be drawn to facts and figures that are a part of higher learning and or self taught fanatics (me). Decide what vision you wish to be pursuing and what makes YOU happy.
Love your technical reviews Vincent, like many enthusiasts/anoraks we all understand the details perfectly clearly. However... here's an idea; why not publish a 'concise edition' first i.e. for regular shoppers? Shorter in length (ding!) and 'jargon-free', end it with..."if you want the advanced full-fat version, you can find it here..." These current Sony models only have 24 dimming zones?? Oh dear!! OR "imagine trying to recreate the night-sky on a 55" Television screen, which will look better: one with 24 controllable areas/blocks of light or one with 600 controllable areas/blocks of light?" "Should've gone to...."
You're the man when it comes to technical reviews! Whenever I mention the name "Master Teoh" to anyone familiar with this space, they react in total awe at your superior erudition and prowess - technical, of course! It's a shame that you're under economic pressure to increase viewership. But if diluting your technical content is required to appeal to a larger audience, so be it! Who are we to tell you not to?
Hello Vincent! During the last years I have learned so much about TVs thanky to you. Whenever I am looking for a TV review or comparison I check your channel first. You have a great way to explain all these technical details without sounding like a lecture at university. Please keep up your excellent work and don´t compare yourself to others. You might be addressing a smaller audience but they relly love you for being who you are. Unfortunately I am not from the UK and therefore cannot consider to buy a TV from Richer Sounds to support your work. I would even hire you to calibrate my TV but I guess Germany is not within your service area. Is there any possibility to support you otherwise? I and many others here would be glad to show their gratitude. You are the benchmark in TV reviewing!
I like the technical videos. The hardest part is understanding your accent. Not sure how to fix that, but maybe it's related? Or maybe people really don't care about the deep technical parts of these TVs? I started watching your channel when I went looking to buy a TV. Now that I have one, I don't care as much, but my sister is looking, so I'm interested. In general, I'm interested in new TV tech only after watching you, but mainly QD-OLED vs W-OLED at this point and what LG did to achieve 30% higher peak brightness.
This is my favourite TV review channel and the only one I subscribe to. Please keep up the technical content if you possibly can. Thanks for your efforts, they are really appreciated by some of us, at least.
I bought the X9000H (Australia have an extra '0' because...why not?) last year as an upgrade to a 10ish year old Samsung. After watching this, the only reason the X90J would interest me would be due to the smoother gradation. The brightness levels (while lower on paper) are fantastic and the black levels are very much adequate. While it's going to be noticeable on a side-by-side comparison, watching it separately, I'm not sure there would be enough difference. For those who are picky about perfect white balance etc, I think a TV at this price point will never satisfy them even with the X90J's additional features. For those who would prefer to save a little and get last years model, then you won't be disappointed. Otherwise, go for the newer model.
I had to slow it down or else it will over or too soon* I like trying new things* Am I going to deep* 😆 Just remain what you are presenting now. You're our reference and most trustable reviewer among others.
Thanks for the video. Your comparison was the only one that showed the disadvantages of the x90j well. thanks to you I am more aware of the purchase. Good job.
I keep coming back to your channel. Everyone else is just an armchair hype creator. You're the professor. Would love a slightly silly video. How closely can a person calibrate a tv without the expensive equipment? I know that may go against the rigor of the channel but it's fair question for so many of us unable to access a calibration tool. Thanks for all your efforts
Please don't change your review... I had been following you for mor than a year and bought X90J.. just waiting to get delivered...since my Sony 26inchLCD is 11years old... Keep. Reviewing
I like the in depth reviews so please don't change that. The only thing I can suggest to get you more views is to add a few first look comments to your unboxing reviews, possibly the start of the video.
keep up the high tech part of the reviews, really that's the best part of your reviews and thus the reason I prefer your channel. More cal points would be nice too.
Great channel and keep on doing what you do! brilliant reveiws! I would however love to see a few additional videps - Best for a particular budget for that year or season. or a quick video of top three/five tvs at 65" 55" 48" etc . These quick glance videos will bring the extra traffic you require for the less technical of buyers.
The technical reviews are why I subbed. I think you should branch out and do unboxing/first impressions so you can get content out faster, but then follow up with a technical look. With that though, you may end up with the follow up videos doing way worse than anything else and the initial videos taking off. That might result in higher views overall, but alienate some of your viewers. You can always experiment and see what happens. If you're not happy with the outcome, go back to doing what you do best. I'll support you either way
Regarding the views, sadly it's always like this. I kinda know this world in the tech community. Gamers Nexus took 10 years to reach 1mln. And others like der8auer and Buildzoid, in depth too, make a lot less views. Instead channels that make easy and more commercial videos have a lot more views. But I can tell you that the base that a solid channel builds is much more solid, go on like this!
Love your reviews. Some people run more than one channel ie. like one for those that want the really technical info and another that is more about speed and so. I think trying to do both on the one channel may confuse viewers.
Great review Vincent, I was searching youtube for a review of these two TVs and yours was very helpful because of the detail as well as the direct comparisons! Don't change the way you do these!
So I got my XH90 last Year, mostly because of your videos! I am happy with it, but I was a little frustrated with the slow updates from sony, hopefully we get this LLA and VRR update soon. I had an LG B6 before and after 2 panel exchanges because of "burn in", I wanted a LCD panel again. So to this video, if you use your TV for Gaming on Xbox Series X(like me) or PS5. buy a cheaper XH90! :) And I like the deep dives of your content, so pls stick with it!
I recently purchased the X90J. Your reviews may be "slower" and more methodical and have less in the way of fancy editing, but they are far more informative. For instance, I learned about adjusting HDMI inputs for regular or enhanced from your X90J review (the one with the awful audio). Other channels may be more flashy. Yours is the one I've subscribed to. If you want to differentiate yourself further from them, I suggest getting MORE technical: Explain what "tone mapping" is; Do settings walkthroughs, etc.
Awesome comparison so price not an option you would always choose the x90j it's pretty much an upgrade in all areas thabsk for the information. Also more saturation same you found with the a90j. Very nice.

we all completly appreciate the effort & the passion you have to show us the reviews ,tips for tech products . you are different to others & you are excellent.
Vincent, I really appreciate your videos out of all the reviews. You helped me make the decision to buy my A80J 77inch- you are the only one that mentioned the panel type. I know Caleb and all these other guys get more views- i get that, but i view them as just quick fun - real decisions are made from your videos/ tweets
Yes, Vincent is the guy who makes people decide wich way to go!!
You are the master at tv reviews! The other channels just put out fluff and don’t really know what they are talking about. I hope you continue and are able to get more viewers!
X900H looks more lifelike and natural though which makes the scenes more immersive.
I'm really happy with my x900h. The picture and color is phenomenal.
Just bought 55’ x90J for $979 and loving it. Movies and gaming have been great and games running smooth at 120hz
Hey Demo, has the picture been pretty smooth when watching movies/tv on your x90j? Heard Sony deals with stutter better than other brands. Ty in advance man!
Nahhh no stutters the picture is so fluid and smooth
@@towelman8589 I use it daily with Xbox series s and man it’s so beautiful for gaming, I have literally no input lag and the graphics are insane even with just the series s. Tested my bro’s ps5 on it and man this tv has me set for the next 10 years
@@ShOGun142 Thanks man! Appreciate your response. Might have to pick one up from my Costco! Definitely getting it for my xbox as well.
@@towelman8589 you won’t regret this tv, it still surprises me with how good it looks when I play new or older games and movies even after 3 months since buying
much better video then the previous one ! thank you very much !
xh90 deserves one more point for build quality ☝️
are those 65 or 55 inchers being compared???
55".
@@hdtvtest one question Mr. V - Z9J review, when???
@@hdtvtest @HDTVTest thanks , just got it on 11:48 ...btw don''t xh90 have 32 local dimming zones in all the sizes, while 55"x90j goes 24 and 65" goes 32 zones?
Vinceeeent, where is the X95J???!!!
Vincent - NO ONE gets close to your reviews. Don't change a thing apart from previous 'funny voice'.
Keep doing it as you currently do, agree with all previous comments three times over. Best wishes.
It will be a shame if you stop doing reviews this in-depth, but I get that it’s a lot of work. Other reviews are good, they’re fine, but these videos are the tops, this is the sort of stuff that helps make the purchase decision. No one else is doing a comparison like this of 2 mid-range TVs that most people are probably looking to buy, instead it’s all OLED and top of the line expensive TVs most can’t afford. So this is extremely appreciated, great stuff.
Thanks for the comparison video. I was having a little buyers remorse from buying an 85 inch X900h but after seeing this video I feel better. Especially considering I got it for $1800 on prime day and the current price for the X90j is 2800. Thanks again!
The X90J doesn’t come in 85 inches in the USA. The 85 inch X91J still has the X1 processor, a lot of people say it’s just a rebadged X900H.
@@vietusa74 even better!
You did good I have a 75” X900H and love it especially on PS5
Going to deep is what I’m here for .You make it easier for us to know how and what to buy that meet our needs .Your my go to before I go and get a new TV . Thanxx and keep doing what you do .
Perhaps a direction to take with the specifics and technical differences between the 2 TVs, would be to highlight and pinpoint visually, in the video, which areas you are actually describing, for eg. more blooming over which areas in local dimming, or micro-stutter in broadcast channels or where the gradation lines are on the PS5 play.
blooming looks like on Samsung Edge LED TVs. Awful
Can you please do a three way shoot out between the Sony X900H or X90H, the Sony X90J and the Sony X95J please... i love your detailed technical discussions, thanks.
Please keep doing deep detailed technical reviews of televisions. Its very very important.
I enjoy your detailed technical analysis. At the same time, I understand you do this for a living and time is money. At the very least I'd like to see at least one mode fully calibrated and compared against a referenced panel without "perceptual" matching.
I don't understand why perceptual matching is a thing nowadays on reviews since a regular paid consumer calibration is only done with a spectrophotometer, is it not? I doubt they carry a reference Sony monitor around. Wouldn't "eyeballing" after that throw it off?
"Am I going too deep" said no one ever, lol
*Ding*
The comparison you did in this video was just fine. Keep doing what you are doing Vincent. You dont have to be like anyone else on TH-cam.
Vincent loving your channel . I just bought an X94J and loving it . Please don’t change!
This is the best X90J review I have seen yet. I had doubts about the panel but you’ve given me enough reassurance that the X90J is a sizeable upgrade over the X900H.
Not in some important aspects. That blooming was pretty bad. And latency was better on xh90 and build quality looks nicer. Cost difference is not worth it imo
For me it was shocking the bad reviews it was getting, I have the 50" X90j and im was impressed. I thought there was something wrong with me cause I wasn't detecting the issues reviewers were noting.
@@griffenxzable totally agree. I also have the 50” X90J and purchased it about a week after it came out. Then all the bad reviews came out for it and I was confused. This TV blew me away the moment I turned it on. From movies to my PS5, my jaw dropped. This will be the most underrated/under appreciated TV of 2021.
@@mivanp2185 X900H at the moment is not capable to output 4k 120hz and drops the vertical resolution where as X90J is capable to output 4k 120hz.
So if you are a gamer looking for that 4k 120hz gaming, X900H wouldn't be a good fit.
@@John-qh3sl It still does it 4k 120 though albeit halved verticle resolution which isnt acceptable but does have better latency. So better in gaming terms at 4k 60 and 120 in that respect.
I am still happy with my 85" x900h. And i am not uprading
Vincent you are the best tv reviewer on TH-cam, you know what you are talking about and go leagues more indepth than most other reviewers. Other channels may have flashy intros and high end cameras and summarize very well but i always watch those videos with a grain of salt. Most people like simple explanations like it's brighter or it has good color. I think once you start talking about near black chrominance overshoot and dci p3 color space most people are lost and don't have a clue what you are talking about. But I actually appreciate you going so in depth because you tell it like it is, if a tv performs poorly you say it. You would be surprised how many people don't understand what 4k means or what smart TV means. Love your videos Vincent keep up the great work!
Great comparison. Whatever you decide, I hope you will still do your deep dive reviews of the “big” TVs each year. Your videos have helped me a lot with my purchase decisions.
You are the only one with the knowledge and tools to actually produce proper reviews and comparisons. So many others just unbox and start filming...with no calibration or investigation. Just pure marketing. Without the work you do these companies have nobody to hold them accountable for improvement year to year.
Long long time ago in 2009 I had the privilege to find your review of the Sony KDL 40W5500. I was stunned by the level of knowledge and technical detail. Today my beloved 40W5500 passed away and I am looking for a worthy replacement. It took me some time to find your channel again, but I am very glad I found it. Please do not change your reviews. There is no other channel that is as good as yours.
I find the tech specs very informative and useful,and really enjoyed the honest comparison’s…
Dear HdtvTest,
Let me enjoy my X900h in peace.
Thank you.
Don't stop what your doing man. This is by far the best reviewing Channel for tvs I ever seen. I really enjoy your jokes and sense of humor. You are the gamer nexus reviewer for tvs!! Thank you. This channel makes me comfortable and soothes my ocd
I watch your content just because you're so in-depth technical. I bought a Sony HT-A7000 soundbar because some reviewers said it's nice. I returned it because it was not. Then I saw a more in-depth reviewer talking about the HT-A9 and why it's much better than the A7000 so I bought it. I LOVE my second decision.
Now I'm in dire need of a new TV (my 2015 KD-49X8307C is not up to the task anymore) and I solely rely on your expertise.
Thinking about returning my LG CX and getting this. Oled looks nice but has absolutely horrible motion stutter and I can’t stand watching sdr content or playing 30fps games on it
Ahahah. Yeah i have OLED tv and 30 fps games are horrendous on that.
@@eugeneskillful8053 yeah it sucks lol wish I got a different tv, not sure what a good alternative is
@@sharebear421 well if you used to OLED blacks the only alternative is QD OLED but im not sure if they suffer with the same issue that OLEDs, not to mention they cost triple OLED's price lol
@@eugeneskillful8053 I’ve heard mini led is really god but I’ve been looking at rtings reviews and a lot of the newer TVs have terrible stutter score so idk haha
Vincent, you have set the standard for TV reviews! I mean, even RTINGS doesn't check near black gradation and instead only measures contrast... Videos from other channels seem to rather help people feel better about their purchase, than to be actually critical. I think this helps with traffic, but it is useless in the long run.
*Digital Trends has left the chat.....*
Thanks Vincent for your effort you put into every review, Its a shame when reviewers put the data in front of us but people are looking for the Flash( instant gratification.)
Wow this guy really knows his stuff! I just bought a 50" x90j today, an upgrade to my previous tv that was an 11 year old 1080p. Didn't understand half of this but definitely appreciate how educated this guy is and was good to learn a bit!
How is the tv now? I just bought the X90J today and like you, I had a 1080p for a decade.
Is the new one holding up?
@@MrRezRising Great been loving it. Have had no issues.
@@420camk Thank you! Happy Holidays!
Vincent your channel is EXCELLENT as-is. No need to change anything. Maybe a lot of people just haven't found it yet. If they did they wouldn't watch the other review channels any more
Content is still worth in 2022 ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐, thankyou very much for your efforts. Not like other channels the technical explanation and the standard examples shown guide us to get the product we need.
Awesome work Keep it up !!!👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍
Hey Vincent - Stay the course as always! Have always been a silent viewer of all your technical deep dive videos and this is literally my first TH-cam comment :) Just wanted to say keep up the good work & keep em coming. Oh, and please review the Z9J - Been waiting to purchase it but with lack of any reviews, I am holding back for now. I wouldn't trust anyone else with that review ;)
Excellent comparison as always! For me at least you are my go to channel for TV reviews. The technical aspects you touch on are never found in any other videos here. However I’m sure that a video format such as this one will attract a wider audience. Keep up the good work and I’m waiting for you to put your hands on the TCL C825 Mini-LED.
It seems like X900H is better than X90J.
Thank you for taking the time to be so thorough. Do it your way, it is the right one.
Hi Vincent, as others have started; please keep doing what you're doing. Personally I love your indepth reviews. I'd also love to see a Sony XH95 comparison to Sony XJ95 by yourself.
Mostly happy with my XH92. Apart from the BACK button on the remote which seems to stick slightly, the power nag screens and the lack of an Android 10 and VRR update.
You are a video-phile/technician and your complete assessment shows that. A person with limited understanding will not be drawn to facts and figures that are a part of higher learning and or self taught fanatics (me). Decide what vision you wish to be pursuing and what makes YOU happy.
Vince you do the best Vidoes about TV's of all Channels out there! U must continue until u never can!
Love your technical reviews Vincent, like many enthusiasts/anoraks we all understand the details perfectly clearly.
However... here's an idea; why not publish a 'concise edition' first i.e. for regular shoppers?
Shorter in length (ding!) and 'jargon-free', end it with..."if you want the advanced full-fat version, you can find it here..."
These current Sony models only have 24 dimming zones?? Oh dear!!
OR "imagine trying to recreate the night-sky on a 55" Television screen, which will look better: one with 24 controllable areas/blocks of light or one with 600 controllable areas/blocks of light?"
"Should've gone to...."
Sony x90h vrr firmware update review please
You're the man when it comes to technical reviews! Whenever I mention the name "Master Teoh" to anyone familiar with this space, they react in total awe at your superior erudition and prowess - technical, of course! It's a shame that you're under economic pressure to increase viewership. But if diluting your technical content is required to appeal to a larger audience, so be it! Who are we to tell you not to?
He can make a second channel instead of compromising what he has built with this channel over the years.
Hello Vincent! During the last years I have learned so much about TVs thanky to you. Whenever I am looking for a TV review or comparison I check your channel first. You have a great way to explain all these technical details without sounding like a lecture at university. Please keep up your excellent work and don´t compare yourself to others. You might be addressing a smaller audience but they relly love you for being who you are. Unfortunately I am not from the UK and therefore cannot consider to buy a TV from Richer Sounds to support your work. I would even hire you to calibrate my TV but I guess Germany is not within your service area. Is there any possibility to support you otherwise? I and many others here would be glad to show their gratitude. You are the benchmark in TV reviewing!
Your reviews are definitely more worthwhile to watch than other channels.
And we want to see Z9J comparisons please
I like the technical videos. The hardest part is understanding your accent. Not sure how to fix that, but maybe it's related? Or maybe people really don't care about the deep technical parts of these TVs?
I started watching your channel when I went looking to buy a TV. Now that I have one, I don't care as much, but my sister is looking, so I'm interested. In general, I'm interested in new TV tech only after watching you, but mainly QD-OLED vs W-OLED at this point and what LG did to achieve 30% higher peak brightness.
This is my favourite TV review channel and the only one I subscribe to. Please keep up the technical content if you possibly can. Thanks for your efforts, they are really appreciated by some of us, at least.
Technical review is the reason why I'm are here. You are doing good. Maybe you should do two videos, simple and technical for a different crowd.
I bought the X9000H (Australia have an extra '0' because...why not?) last year as an upgrade to a 10ish year old Samsung. After watching this, the only reason the X90J would interest me would be due to the smoother gradation. The brightness levels (while lower on paper) are fantastic and the black levels are very much adequate. While it's going to be noticeable on a side-by-side comparison, watching it separately, I'm not sure there would be enough difference. For those who are picky about perfect white balance etc, I think a TV at this price point will never satisfy them even with the X90J's additional features.
For those who would prefer to save a little and get last years model, then you won't be disappointed. Otherwise, go for the newer model.
I had to slow it down or else it will over or too soon*
I like trying new things*
Am I going to deep* 😆
Just remain what you are presenting now. You're our reference and most trustable reviewer among others.
Thanks for the video. Your comparison was the only one that showed the disadvantages of the x90j well. thanks to you I am more aware of the purchase. Good job.
I keep coming back to your channel. Everyone else is just an armchair hype creator. You're the professor. Would love a slightly silly video. How closely can a person calibrate a tv without the expensive equipment? I know that may go against the rigor of the channel but it's fair question for so many of us unable to access a calibration tool. Thanks for all your efforts
Please don't change your review... I had been following you for mor than a year and bought X90J.. just waiting to get delivered...since my Sony 26inchLCD is 11years old... Keep. Reviewing
I like the in depth reviews so please don't change that. The only thing I can suggest to get you more views is to add a few first look comments to your unboxing reviews, possibly the start of the video.
keep up the high tech part of the reviews, really that's the best part of your reviews and thus the reason I prefer your channel. More cal points would be nice too.
Great comparison! Would you please do the same for x95J vs x950H?
WITH REGARDS TO GROWING THE CHANNEL - Home theater set up and maybe a home theater of the week tour would be very interesting.
Could I say your channel is excellent.....a setting video on each TV would be a way of growing your popularity
Proud owner of x900h , I won't be upgrading until x900m or n. Five years is good to upgrade.
Can you give some feed back on the X91J being sold in the USA
Can u please post some x90j settings....please
Great channel and keep on doing what you do! brilliant reveiws! I would however love to see a few additional videps - Best for a particular budget for that year or season. or a quick video of top three/five tvs at 65" 55" 48" etc . These quick glance videos will bring the extra traffic you require for the less technical of buyers.
The technical reviews are why I subbed. I think you should branch out and do unboxing/first impressions so you can get content out faster, but then follow up with a technical look.
With that though, you may end up with the follow up videos doing way worse than anything else and the initial videos taking off. That might result in higher views overall, but alienate some of your viewers.
You can always experiment and see what happens. If you're not happy with the outcome, go back to doing what you do best. I'll support you either way
Sony XJ90 or Sony XH95. Which is the best?
Vincent, I always watch movies and series with subtitles. Should I be worried with the blooming around subtitles on the X90J? Thank you
Regarding the views, sadly it's always like this. I kinda know this world in the tech community. Gamers Nexus took 10 years to reach 1mln. And others like der8auer and Buildzoid, in depth too, make a lot less views. Instead channels that make easy and more commercial videos have a lot more views. But I can tell you that the base that a solid channel builds is much more solid, go on like this!
Every channel you mentioned is awesome.
Tech Jesus and Buildzoid for the win! 😎
Love your reviews.
Some people run more than one channel ie. like one for those that want the really technical info and another that is more about speed and so. I think trying to do both on the one channel may confuse viewers.
Great review Vincent, I was searching youtube for a review of these two TVs and yours was very helpful because of the detail as well as the direct comparisons! Don't change the way you do these!
So I got my XH90 last Year, mostly because of your videos! I am happy with it, but I was a little frustrated with the slow updates from sony, hopefully we get this LLA and VRR update soon. I had an LG B6 before and after 2 panel exchanges because of "burn in", I wanted a LCD panel again. So to this video, if you use your TV for Gaming on Xbox Series X(like me) or PS5. buy a cheaper XH90! :) And I like the deep dives of your content, so pls stick with it!
You are the best... i have sony x90h and its have electric on frame i don't know if that normal
Your channel is the only place I know that does objective comparison. That's what made you stand out.
I recently purchased the X90J. Your reviews may be "slower" and more methodical and have less in the way of fancy editing, but they are far more informative. For instance, I learned about adjusting HDMI inputs for regular or enhanced from your X90J review (the one with the awful audio).
Other channels may be more flashy. Yours is the one I've subscribed to. If you want to differentiate yourself further from them, I suggest getting MORE technical: Explain what "tone mapping" is; Do settings walkthroughs, etc.
Hello, Vincent!
Please clarify when we can expect 75" X95J Review and comparisons?
Thank you in advance!
The real TV community appreciates all your hard work you definitely put a lot more work into it that other channels and we appreciate that
Awesome comparison so price not an option you would always choose the x90j it's pretty much an upgrade in all areas thabsk for the information. Also more saturation same you found with the a90j. Very nice.
X90J vs XH95 is a much more interesting comparison 😉 (although by now the XH95 is hardly available anymore).
