Enjoyed the comparison here and thanks for sharing your thoughts. They are both great in their own ways. I am biased though because I went with the bravia 9 this year.
@@geenuinee8504 I'm kind of a TV nut. Already have LG and Sony OLEDs and in my opinion they are better for SDR and black and white content. But I prefer the Bravia 9 for HDR.
Here’s my problem with OLED. I’m retired and the tv is on a lot during the day. I’m afraid I would be a higher burn in risk than an average person. I do have an Oled in my bedroom so I do get the benefit of one for an hour or so at night. I think I will stick with a mini-led in my living room.
@@MSDOGS1976 …..Same here, retired and watch a lot if sports, news, and documentaries. Pretty sure I’d be stressing about graphics scoreboards on multiple football games and prominent channel logos…not how I want to be thinking during my day.
I definitely would prefer that Sony Electronics Television Displays Technology Company continue to explore the Micro Leds Displays Technology uses Sapphire inorganic materials to housed 🏠 the small Leds Displays lighting shining throughout the pixels elements to project the digital images for the Micro Leds Displays Technology pictures 📸 ! I definitely would prefer the Television Displays Technology which is truly better than the QD-Oled or the WRGB Oled Organic Material Products degradation Televisions 📺 Technology for sure!
Tbh my experience with Sony has been awful. My first high end TV was from Sony and I loved the picture the display in one year got dead pixels then a long black line through the screen. Luckily I bought the extended warranty, problem was they eliminated that tier of tv and I either had to downgrade or upgrade to the flagship (which was going to be another $2-3k on top of what I already paid. So I downgraded. Lost full array local dimming, but color was decent. In a year the software got so slow, using the tv was a sluggish nightmare. So I got a fire stick for streaming. Worked for a little bit but the fire stick was crap so I dropped the money on an AppleTV 4k with Dolby vision. Didn’t even work with the TV’s default settings so I had to go through settings and turn things on and off just to get the AppleTV to recognize that my tv supports Dolby Vision. Then I had major stutters, freezing and frame drops. Thought I may have bought a lemon Apple TV. Nope it is that stupid Sony tv. Apparently their cinemotion doesn’t play nice with AppleTV, had to disable it and match Apple TV’s frame rate to that of the Sony tv. Nothing but problems I’m so over the tv, but I was holding on to it until something better came. Now I’m throwing it in the trash and probably going to try Samsung this time around and say to hell with Sony and Dolby vision.
@@WhatFunTimes I would like to imagine that they fixed a lot of problems by now including the constant crashes and restarting of the tv, but if you’re having trouble with AppleTV is 90% likely it’s on your TVs side and you’ll need to dive into the settings and change cinemotion off and turn on hdmi “enhancement” Those two settings are defaulted on the former and off on the latter and will cause you nothing but problems.
I had the Bravia 8 and it truly was a phenomenal tv. Motion is huge for me and it wasn’t quite as smooth as LG and that was a deal breaker but image wise it destroys a C4
Why wouldn't they? The TV is not at all the determining factor for that part of the home theater experience. Maybe the question you have is how well does either TV perform as a center speaker? While that is a relevant question, the Bravia Quad speakers, I've heard through reviews, do an superb job of handling center speaker dialog clarity. So even if one TV or the other have an edge, with those speakers...you probably won't be lacking.
@@EbonySeraphim You are correct. I plan on using the Voice Zoom 3 and the Bravia TVs speakers as my center channel. All of the reviews rave about the Bravia 9 speakers.......but is it worth paying the higher price, since I will not be using those speakers exclusively? I'm thinking of getting the Bravia 7. Thanks!
Recomendarías una Fondo de pantalla para la TV que cambie cada 30 segundos??? (Sin ningún reloj fijo). Es que están muy bonitos pero le pienso cargarme el LED Orgánico.
I want a new bedroom tv this fall/holiday season and since I won’t be gaming in my bedroom I was going to get the Bravia 8 as it’s the same price as the C4 but I saw a few comparisons and the Bravia 8 didn’t do so well which was surprising and it looks like I’ll be going with the C4.
Hi Steve , thank for the review . I think Sony is getting slightly crazy with there prices lately . I recently found out the PS5-Pro will be introduced in Nov. for $699.99 and no drive . Sounds like Sony wants people to pay so Sony can charge them more . LOL , but seriously !! Take care , Dreamer
I think companies can charge higher prices if they like but people don’t have to purchase. Sony has a ecosystem with the reference monitors, cinema cameras, studios so you’re paying for the quality and research for the best picture in my opinion. There’s no other company that has these resources
Je confirme que le B8 a le processeur XR et la puce pentonic 1000 comme l'A95 l, il est juste un peu moins lumineux que le qd oled ,et également moins chère
That’s the problem with WOLED, QD OLED doesn’t have these problems while having a bigger color volume. WOLED is old tech. QD OLED will be “the” tech until microled comes along
That’s the main reason I hate OLED…aside from the flickering Pwm with certain devices. The whites never look white, they either look super warm or too blue. And with age the “whites” get even worse. Overall mini led is the future.
@@ak1996able It's a tradeoff.. QD OLED has a purple tint. Personally I like can deal with the bluish tint of WOLED better than the purple tint of QD OLED because it seems to afffect all colors, not just white.
@@vacguy77 that only really applies when hit with direct sunlight or bright lights. In the dark or most living rooms with curtains you wouldn’t see that. The s95D is worst case scenario as it’s using a matte coating
The main problems with the Mini LEDS Displays Televisions Technology 📺 is truly that it honestly does not gives true black scenes in the black areas of the digital images of a faithful picture 😀!
The scene with the guy on the phone in the Disney+ comparison looked darker and devoid of colour on the B9. And you’re right the space scene was brighter and had more colour on the B8. Perhaps the cinema mode is not very good on the B9? Tech With KG compared the B9 to the B8 side by side in his B9 review, and the colour volume and brightness on the B9 was better than the B8 (and even better than the G4 according to him), but that doesn’t seem to be the case here.
This is still the best order of TVs you can currently buy from best to worst in terms of picture quality. QD-OLED > OLED w/MLA > OLED > MINI-LED > LED/LCD Great video Steve! Thanks for the comparison.
@@TechSteve totally agree with your comment. My point was from an objective point of view based on PQ, best to least. And people should buy what their budget allows as well and viewing conditions.
This order is subjective, OLED w/ MLA for instance has poor color volume as the white subpixel tends to dim a lot of the color at higher brightness. MiniLED does not have the issue. In fact the Bravia 9 at higher brightness will look much more vibrant than the LG G4 which is a very popular OLED MLA panel.
Picture quality is definitely important, however longevity and peace of mind are equally as important to me. Love that I can throw anything I want at a Mini-LED (content with static images like health bars in fighting games, mini-maps in multiplayer games, cable channels that display their logo etc.) and don't have to worry about pixel degradation/burn-in.
Factory settings on oled wouldn’t have brightness to high it puts it on med/low. Why would you compare oled on low brightness to LED that’s known to be the brightest. Ppl just think the oled looks that dim but it doesn’t
its Bravia 8 so its dimmer than latest from LG and Samsung. In comparison will look dimmer than B9 obviously but if you watched it on its own you wouldn't think it is dim indeed
U said it has brightness and local dimming zones. But that’s not necessarily an advantage over oled. It needs to have local dimming zones so it can have decent contrast. I guess the only thing it has over oled is brightness
The main advantage over an Oled is that there is no risk of burn in and its able to get brighter. The first one is important because i have a qdoled and even babying it, it does have some minor burn in after 2 years that can be seen on greyscale tests. Its a computer monitor, thats what it was marketed as, but it still succumbs to burn in, even with me respecting every pixel refresh and panel refresh. If your going to buy a display and hammer it with no care OLED is not the tv to buy. These tvs aren't the 10+ year usage. The second is important, because most people don't sit in a perfectly dark room. Perfect black is great, but watching tv during the day with windows open or lights on and a tv that can get bright is important. That perfect black stops being perfect with any light.
@@richr161 i am sure little more contrast can be extracted if you tinker around with settings. At 3:18 that cinema mode is crap on bravia 9. Thats needs adjustment. Just saying people who trust these built in modes might be missing out. The mini led will never be perfect especially in dark scenes but i am sure it will get close down to single digit %. I trust sony colors, cannot understand their pricing sometimes 😅.
None of these support HDR10+, is this important (mainly asking for blu rays playback on an HDR10+ player). I read that there are only very few blu rays with HDR10+, but I don’t know what is the trend going to be for the future and if I should be looking for a tv supporting hdr10+
I'm here because all of my 6 LG Products, Fridge, Stove, Microwave, Oled TV, Dryer, Washer 4 of then have went out besides the older "Gas" Washer and Dryer. Oled Burn in, Microwave Fan and Board Burnt out on two different Occasions, Stove Door switch died and Oven would not turn on, Fridge Has gone through 4 Compressors so far in less than 3 years. No more LG Products for me Anymore. Im looking to get a Sony TV that Caught my Eye in Costco and Sony Bravia 8 Oled at Costcos for I think $2799 now its on sale for $2599 "Black Friday" deal and also comes with a 5 year warranty. Now seeing the Qled, I think I will still be going with the Oled as I watch more TV at night that I do during the main room is my Day and Night Movie Room. I don't game on large TV's as it is the worst thing you can do to your eyes, I learned the hard way. So gaming doesn't matter to me as i now game on a Alienware 27 inch screen gaming Monitor. I think it's going to be Oled for me.
Mini led is already remarkably close to oled. Even my budget friendly 2024 hisense U7N is damn close to oled levels of contrast, deep blacks and minimal blooming. Shit its almost identical to my dynamic amoled 2x 2k display on my galaxy s22 ultra in terms of color, black levels and brightness where my phone peaks at 1750 nits with extra brightness turned on and my tv reaches a peak 1500 nits. Best of both worlds is mini led!
I definitely believe that the power 🔋 powered Leds Displays Technology uses Sapphire inorganic materials in the Micro Leds Displays Televisions Technology 📺 is truly better than the QD-Oled or the WRGB Oled Organic Material Products degradation Televisions 📺 Displays Technology for sure!
I'm going back and forth between these 2. Coming from a 75inch x90k that i liked but to me 4k discs never looked as good as Blu-ray for some reason. I dont know if it was a setting or what. They just looked a little off. Played from a ubp-x800m2. That said, which one do you think will wow me more of these 2 after having the x90k? My local best buy doesn't have either on demo so theres that. For some reason they bever have the nicer sony models with working demos, just LGs and samsungs. Trying to stick with sony.
I definitely would prefer that Sony Electronics Television Displays Technology Company continue to explore the Micro Leds Displays Technology uses Sapphire inorganic materials to housed 🏠 the small Leds Displays lighting shining throughout the pixels elements to project the digital images for the Micro Leds Displays Technology pictures 📸 ! I definitely would prefer the Television Displays Technology which is truly better than the QD-Oled or the WRGB Oled Organic Material Products degradation Televisions 📺 Technology for sure!
@@roadracerqx893 a 65 or 75 in would be too big for a 14x14 room as distance from the tv also matters for optimal viewing experience and strain on the eyes. It's not about if someone could afford it but it's about the right size. Same goes for the sound system.
The weaknesses of the Organic QD-OLED or the WRGB Oled Organic Material Products degradation Televisions 📺 Displays Technology is surely the Organic Material Products degradation that houses 🏘 the small Leds in the Digital Leds Displays Technology behind the front Screen of the Organic QD-OLED or the WRGB Oled Organic Material Products degradation Televisions 📺 Displays Technology.
@@vgnvideogameninja2930my sweet summer child just take a look at 1:07-1:08 on the girl pic. The OLED has a 3D depth to it while the B9 mini just has like a layer of white on the image.
Last week i've bought the Sony Bravia9 85 inch. Omg is fundamentlty trash, it's totally crap. Dark shadows get completely lost and there isn't any way to get rid off any problems using the settings. A big issue also for me is the sharpness, and pixel-density. Films don't look any good. On every cut-shot the picture freeze a couple of miliseconds, especially when the picture changing from white to dark and visa versa, that's in my opinion really disturbing. I tried one week everything possible in the settings; changing something always causes an other problem. I will return this peace of garbage a s.a.p. I also don't like the 3000 nits, no thanks, I get completely blind. More nits, are you nuts?
Engineering background. My friend no doubt, the Bravia 9 is superior however, the sticker pice is down right offensive. For a 65" you are talking $3200 on Amazon and $2100 for a 55". I like that I could pay about $1500 and get the Bravia 8. It sits in between the Bravia 7 Mini LED and the Bravia 9 it is the perfect price point, where I can save up and get it on Black Friday, and pay it in cash full. I recommend the Bravia 8 but if you have the cash, then go foe the best in the line up Bravia 9. It won several awards as well but I am afraid with TV's going bad about 3-5 years, now a days, it is not worth it. Bravia 8 is pushing it but that is my recommendation. xI like the Bravia 8 and want ot get the 55" for my main living and use it for my PS5. How is it for gaming? In some aspects, the Beavia 8 does better
@ Bravia 8 is OLED. Engineer OLEd tvs burn put in 3-4 yeae s friend. Yes picture is gorgeous but they go bad. Je ne pas Parle feancsis but I can speak English, German, Italian; Spanish, Russian and Farsi. I was a crypto i the 🇺🇸 Navy and on my mom’s side i am French - Italian sad English German Russian.
Neither! Since I am eyeing >80" TV to pair with my HT-A9, I cannot justify paying over $4k for 83" A80L or 85" B9. As far as the soundbar goes, get the HT-A9 and let the TV handle the center channel. The enclosed SB's sound field can never be compared to actual spatial effects of separate, dedicated speakers. What a shame that you won't be reviewing the much more affordable B7, supposedly the successor to X95L. I have no doubt this mini LED TV will be a huge jump in picture quality and processing power, furthermore the anticipated HT-A9s S-center channel integration coming from my 2019 75" X900F FALD TV.
That's because they don't. The infinite contrast is what creates picture depth and OLEDs with vantablack pixel level blacks have more depth.. it's literally their biggest advantage. I'm sorry but you have it backwards
@@paulcox2447 I disagree.....The infinite contrast is not what creates the depth; there's other factors at play. Mini Leds have better depth (for whatever reason) while oled pictures seem more painted on. I own both, it's not like I'm new to this.
@@paulcox2447your blind and don’t see the video you’re commenting on? Brightness provides depth just as much as black levels if that brightness is paired with good black level/contrast.
@@paulcox2447 I know what he means I have both the A95L and the Bravia 9. Mini LED’s do have a certain perceived depth due to being a transmissive display with a lot more layers. OLED is emissive and can look “painted”. That being said the micro contrast from the individual pixel lighting makes the detail of OLED unmatched and to my eyes it makes the picture almost look higher resolution. They each have their pros/cons but if I had to choose 1 I would choose a QD-OLED without a second thought.
@@IntotheFurther. Mini LED still can’t provide the micro contrast of an OLED where there’s is tiny dark areas within a small zone of a light area. Watch digital trends video from 5 days ago labeled QLED vs OLED. He does a great job breaking this down and showing the micro contrast

I trust sony colors, cannot understand their pricing sometimes 😅.
@And-vx6ry i agree, if i had made an adjustment people would say i’m partial to the B9.
@@richr161 yea I kno all that. I didn’t say oled is better. I was just talking about what he said about the features
@@TechSteve true 👍🏻. Maybe make separate video, making out best picture of available settings for each tv if possible. 😅🤓
None of these support HDR10+, is this important (mainly asking for blu rays playback on an HDR10+ player). I read that there are only very few blu rays with HDR10+, but I don’t know what is the trend going to be for the future and if I should be looking for a tv supporting hdr10+
I'm here because all of my 6 LG Products, Fridge, Stove, Microwave, Oled TV, Dryer, Washer 4 of then have went out besides the older "Gas" Washer and Dryer. Oled Burn in, Microwave Fan and Board Burnt out on two different Occasions, Stove Door switch died and Oven would not turn on, Fridge Has gone through 4 Compressors so far in less than 3 years. No more LG Products for me Anymore.
Im looking to get a Sony TV that Caught my Eye in Costco and Sony Bravia 8 Oled at Costcos for I think $2799 now its on sale for $2599 "Black Friday" deal and also comes with a 5 year warranty.
Now seeing the Qled, I think I will still be going with the Oled as I watch more TV at night that I do during the main room is my Day and Night Movie Room. I don't game on large TV's as it is the worst thing you can do to your eyes, I learned the hard way. So gaming doesn't matter to me as i now game on a Alienware 27 inch screen gaming Monitor.
I think it's going to be Oled for me.
I Sold my Bravia 8 not Bright enough , Motions not as good and the Whites aren't white enough ,,all this compared to the B9
I bought a bravia 8 its my first 4K tv i wanted a 8k TV but they told me i was doing good to wait until 8K tvs are figured out more. Im happy.
We barely have 4k content so 8k isn’t necessary for a very long time
Mini led is already remarkably close to oled. Even my budget friendly 2024 hisense U7N is damn close to oled levels of contrast, deep blacks and minimal blooming.
Shit its almost identical to my dynamic amoled 2x 2k display on my galaxy s22 ultra in terms of color, black levels and brightness where my phone peaks at 1750 nits with extra brightness turned on and my tv reaches a peak 1500 nits.
Best of both worlds is mini led!
Is that mini LED
What Sony do you have now watching ? In your home ?
85x95L
Is that mini led
@@boston05011
Yes
Bravia 9 looks far better than Bravia 8 👍
Then did you decide to get a Bravia 9?
Barvia 8 oder 11, am Ende wird bei mir ein G4 in 83", gerade gesichtet für 4000€
I definitely believe that the power 🔋 powered Leds Displays Technology uses Sapphire inorganic materials in the Micro Leds Displays Televisions Technology 📺 is truly better than the QD-Oled or the WRGB Oled Organic Material Products degradation Televisions 📺 Displays Technology for sure!
I'm going back and forth between these 2. Coming from a 75inch x90k that i liked but to me 4k discs never looked as good as Blu-ray for some reason. I dont know if it was a setting or what. They just looked a little off. Played from a ubp-x800m2. That said, which one do you think will wow me more of these 2 after having the x90k? My local best buy doesn't have either on demo so theres that. For some reason they bever have the nicer sony models with working demos, just LGs and samsungs. Trying to stick with sony.
Sony not any more japan it's panel from lg korea collaboration india or malaysia panel quality not last long ....
I definitely would prefer that Sony Electronics Television Displays Technology Company continue to explore the Micro Leds Displays Technology uses Sapphire inorganic materials to housed 🏠 the small Leds Displays lighting shining throughout the pixels elements to project the digital images for the Micro Leds Displays Technology pictures 📸 !
I definitely would prefer the Television Displays Technology which is truly better than the QD-Oled or the WRGB Oled Organic Material Products degradation Televisions 📺 Technology for sure!
Please suggest a tv for my 14x14ft bedroom, I'm looking for 55" size and want to get Bravia 7. Do you think it is the best?
@@shreyasnanda ….Go 65” at minimum….75” if you can afford it….you’ll be happier in the long run over a 55”.
@@roadracerqx893 a 65 or 75 in would be too big for a 14x14 room as distance from the tv also matters for optimal viewing experience and strain on the eyes. It's not about if someone could afford it but it's about the right size. Same goes for the sound system.
The weaknesses of the Organic QD-OLED or the WRGB Oled Organic Material Products degradation Televisions 📺 Displays Technology is surely the Organic Material Products degradation that houses 🏘 the small Leds in the Digital Leds Displays Technology behind the front Screen of the Organic QD-OLED or the WRGB Oled Organic Material Products degradation Televisions 📺 Displays Technology.
Any decent OLED Will look a thousand times better...
Bravia 9 looks 1000 times better than any OLED....
@@vgnvideogameninja2930my sweet summer child just take a look at 1:07-1:08 on the girl pic.
The OLED has a 3D depth to it while the B9 mini just has like a layer of white on the image.
Last week i've bought the Sony Bravia9 85 inch. Omg is fundamentlty trash, it's totally crap. Dark shadows get completely lost and there isn't any way to get rid off any problems using the settings. A big issue also for me is the sharpness, and pixel-density. Films don't look any good. On every cut-shot the picture freeze a couple of miliseconds, especially when the picture changing from white to dark and visa versa, that's in my opinion really disturbing. I tried one week everything possible in the settings; changing something always causes an other problem. I will return this peace of garbage a s.a.p. I also don't like the 3000 nits, no thanks, I get completely blind. More nits, are you nuts?
Engineering background. My friend no doubt, the Bravia 9 is superior however, the sticker pice is down right offensive. For a 65" you are talking $3200 on Amazon and $2100 for a 55". I like that I could pay about $1500 and get the Bravia 8. It sits in between the Bravia 7 Mini LED and the Bravia 9 it is the perfect price point, where I can save up and get it on Black Friday, and pay it in cash full. I recommend the Bravia 8 but if you have the cash, then go foe the best in the line up Bravia 9. It won several awards as well but I am afraid with TV's going bad about 3-5 years, now a days, it is not worth it. Bravia 8 is pushing it but that is my recommendation. xI like the Bravia 8 and want ot get the 55" for my main living and use it for my PS5. How is it for gaming? In some aspects, the Beavia 8 does better
Bravia 8 le top et pour une PS 5 c'est le nirvana
@ Bravia 8 is OLED. Engineer OLEd tvs burn put in 3-4 yeae s friend. Yes picture is gorgeous but they go bad. Je ne pas Parle feancsis but I can speak English, German, Italian; Spanish, Russian and Farsi. I was a crypto i the 🇺🇸 Navy and on my mom’s side i am French - Italian sad English German Russian.
@@thebig12conference73
Bravia 8 is a good but not great OLED.
Tv speakers are trash and will always be trash. Anyone willing to spend good money on a nice TV will almost always at the very least buy a soundbar.
You must have not of heard the bravia xr tvs. The sound quality is far superior than other tvs on the market.
@@luhhtee2547 lol
Neither! Since I am eyeing >80" TV to pair with my HT-A9, I cannot justify paying over $4k for 83" A80L or 85" B9. As far as the soundbar goes, get the HT-A9 and let the TV handle the center channel. The enclosed SB's sound field can never be compared to actual spatial effects of separate, dedicated speakers. What a shame that you won't be reviewing the much more affordable B7, supposedly the successor to X95L. I have no doubt this mini LED TV will be a huge jump in picture quality and processing power, furthermore the anticipated HT-A9s S-center channel integration coming from my 2019 75" X900F FALD TV.
Mini LEDs have better picture depth than oleds…...something I don’t hear many people talk about.
That's because they don't. The infinite contrast is what creates picture depth and OLEDs with vantablack pixel level blacks have more depth.. it's literally their biggest advantage.
I'm sorry but you have it backwards
@@paulcox2447 I disagree.....The infinite contrast is not what creates the depth; there's other factors at play. Mini Leds have better depth (for whatever reason) while oled pictures seem more painted on. I own both, it's not like I'm new to this.
@@paulcox2447your blind and don’t see the video you’re commenting on? Brightness provides depth just as much as black levels if that brightness is paired with good black level/contrast.
@@paulcox2447 I know what he means I have both the A95L and the Bravia 9. Mini LED’s do have a certain perceived depth due to being a transmissive display with a lot more layers. OLED is emissive and can look “painted”.
That being said the micro contrast from the individual pixel lighting makes the detail of OLED unmatched and to my eyes it makes the picture almost look higher resolution. They each have their pros/cons but if I had to choose 1 I would choose a QD-OLED without a second thought.
@@IntotheFurther. Mini LED still can’t provide the micro contrast of an OLED where there’s is tiny dark areas within a small zone of a light area. Watch digital trends video from 5 days ago labeled QLED vs OLED. He does a great job breaking this down and showing the micro contrast
They're simply no comparison, barvia 9 is nothing but a glorified LCD TV, doesn't even clone close...
Agreed, the Bravia 9 obliterates the B8 OLED, that's why it doesn't even come close. It's so much higher that the comparison is pointless...
Wow Bravia 9 has terrible reflection handling 😳😳
I don’t think so, try your TV at home with a flash light
