I bought the 55" model last week. After three days I managed to calibrate it by myself, without entering service menus. Yesterday I showed six tv expertise the shots I took previous night. All of them said "This Is an oled", and couldn't believe their eyes. Amazing tv! Only issue: vignetting is slightly more noticeable than on other brands or series. Except for that, this is an amazing tv. Paid a bit more than half the price.
@@valueofnothing2487 exactly. Blooming can't be noticed unless you view from angles (being a VA panel). No zone transitions issues. Only the corners are slightly darker than on other panels.
I got the Sony X90K few days ago, spent the last two days calibrating to my liking, and the options are vast. Playstation 5 shows higher quality and option. Series X looks very bright, HDR mode on both consoles with VRR and 120Hz work flawlessly. Movie watching from Netflix to Disney+ to Prime and HBO look phenomenal. Personally, I'm super happy with the purchase.
So refreshing to see the type of work all of you guys are doing, Fomo, B and especially you. The cooperation is appreciated and i'm glad all of you bring something different to the table. It's a breath of fresh air and direct contrast to other toxic content creators who claim to be professional calibrators tearing everyone else down. Great job.
Just got my 85X95K. Had to go right into custom, peak brightness in a dark room is insane. Color accuracy out of the box is nice and the customization options are endless. I am very satisfied with this panel. The Bravia Core movie App is great and the increased bit rate is highly noticeable, almost too noticeable haha. Only drawback is 100mb/s ethernet.... C'mon Sony its 2022. Love it. Highly recommend.

Hey Brian, I ordered an 85" X90K and it is getting delivered next week. Are you going to post and updated reviews or impressions soon? It would be nice to know how the X90K stacks up to the X90J and X95J. I would really appreciate if you could do some measurements and comparisons. Thanks!
Thinking of upgrading from a 55" Sony x930e 2017 model to a 65" in this model. Does this seem like a logical upgrade in models? The 930e has been a great tv and will move it to my bedroom. The price for this model has become more attractive.
I was going to get the 75" X95J. Now I'm not so sure. The X90K is not expected to be released here in NZ until Late June. I'll have to see what the pricing will be here. If I can wait that long 🙁
Great first impression video . One question, what settings did you use on motion? I didn't see it, only I saw that you disable cinemotion. Many thanks!
I Wish there was a an exact center foot like Samsung ,very few people have such a wide table . Great vid .Right out of box . Had an Sony XBR FROM the 80s,90s ,10 loved watching it till the day it stoped working. It had flat glass front. Not rounded.It saved me a ton of money not having to spend first generation plasma.it was hi def when they started broadcasting in hi def. ❤️❤️

It should have the same problem but the X90K has a much higher native contrast then the X95K so things like clouding in menus when the local dimming is turned off or using VRR when local dimming is turned off should be much less of an issue.
Thanks for your advice, I got this in 85 inch, picture impresses everyone that sees it! Will this be upgraded electronically to the new 2023 motion clarity as on the x85 90 L model?

I’m so confused about what’s going on with spare change and quantum saying there noticeable blooming on x95k, like all things I need to go and inspect the tv when it arrives but the whole deal with mini leds was they were smaller and hence easier to more surgically control as opposed to the 40x larger leds. The x90 actually looked as good as the x95 -maybe as the glare wasn’t there. The actual - in terms of what makes a more expensive tv better I couldn’t tell the difference, was that the case in real life?
How do you access the TV settings? I just setup this new TV and it's always on the Google TV screen. I keep pressing the Home & Settings buttons, but it just goes back to a full image screen. Should I exchange the unit? Maybe it's defective as I can't leave them Google TV screen!

need help on my purchase decision, have the A90J but it just does not give me what l want for sports and everyday viewing it's great for movies, but im between 2 TVs the X95K and the Z9J, I want the most crisp detailed image l can get at an 85-inch size, what TV out of those 2 should get?
@@kennybrooks8374 A90J is terrible for sports, do you have the Z9J? If so you don't sound happy with it, and I'm not getting rid of the A90J just need the best tv possible for sports
kinda, just not for sports, once you have it on sports it will start to dime itself to stop the tv from burning in the image of the scoreboard or whatever logo may be on the TV for a long period like the ESPN logo. A90J amazing tv just not for sports
when is the gaming review for this tv coming out? I was told it has a 6500 native contrasts which is really good, so even with no local dimming the blacks should still look good? please test!
@@BRIANSTECHTHERAPY Thank you very much for replying. I have finally decided to buy the x90k, just waiting for a price drop soon or if my patience runs out then I will buy it before the price drop 😂 Your videos have helped me SO MUCH to decide which TV to buy. Thank you for replying and have a good day 😇
The problem with the 85-in x95j is that it has major grid pattern problems. I had two of them I ended up having to send back because it was such an issue and very noticeable. Plus they both had issues with clouding in dark gray scenes mostly noticeable in menus where the local dimming was not in use
Sorry to bug you, again, but I am being disquieted by the recent Rtings comparison of the 90k vs the 90j, in which the 90j beats the 90k in cinema viewing, dimming function. And then, in discussion groups, everyone piles on in a dissing match over the 90K. I'm not one for nitpicking the lab measurements; I go more for the gestalt, the overall experience of watching movies and streaming apps such as Netflix. Can you, Brian, or any readers who actually own the x90k tell me if I have ordered a loser in that department? Will it look really good or just blah in the home environment. Oh, and I'm not a gamer.
Dimming zones technology has came a long ways in mini LED has come along ways to but they both still have issues that they tend to leave out they just focus on how bright it is and how over saturation of colors are they like that stuff
@@alambe7275 what i mention is not a issue its just that the accurate setting is medium which is the default if you want to get better blooming control and sacrifice highlight detail the high setting is there for u if thats what u like but the way its meant to be viewed is with the local dimming on medium which does a amazing job especially considering Sony have much less zones than other TVs and still have great contrast
Quite similar first impressions as me when I first saw in store this week, but I did found the X90K to be just as hazy as the X90J and X900H in quite a handful of scenes due to the limited local dimming zones even if it has 2x the amount than its predecessors.
Yeah even the 95H had blooming It's really annoying because in general viewing the picture is stunningly cinematic but once you notice the bloom you can't ignore it
@@ArtVandelayOfficial i like the A80J and its a better TV than X90K overall but I didn't like how much it dim when u play certain games with static images on screen for a long time like sports or shooters
@@jayshine2742 but OLED has dead pixels issues which comes I mostly after 6 to 7months in moderate level of use and then In order to get the repair by the warranty service, you still have to wait until you get five dead pixels on Sony or six dead big pixels on LG this is what I vë heard Best Buy rep ,that time your warranty might be worn out so paying higher price from our pocket to have this TV technology, I wouldn't spend that much to regret myself
Please see my note of 2 hours ago. I came upon the Samsung QN90A from Costco for about the same $$ as the X90K. I am tempted. So, question: X90K vs Q90A? Anyone?
X90K would have better contrast and higher native contrast which matter only because LCD LED TVs uses its native contrast when VRR is active and the X90J do a really good job with VRR better than I expected and better than the X95J so I'm sure the X90K would be better than both in VRR
Very Nice ! Tech just keeps getting better and better just like the size of these TV's ! If things look this good on the X90K ... I'm drooling thinking about how things will look on the Z9K's ! Napkin please ! Many thanks to Mr. R.Z. and gang at V.E. ! 👍😎
Anyone looking for a simple answer. It's 4k capable(w/eARC), true 120hz with motionflow for awesome gaming. Only 2 ports if you have a lot of systems that offer 4k. Awesome tv from my little time of ownership!
Looks nice and the 85" is priced right. If this set catches up with its peers in contrast ratio (with local dimming on I hope its at least 10,000:1) and has brightness exceeding 1000 nits. If so I will seriously consider it for my dedicated build.
Rtings contrast numbers are off a little with local dimming on because they test with the high setting for local dimming which drop brightness and possibly contrast as well but their native contrast numbers are sure to be accurate since thats without local dimming... anyone know somewhere else I can look for accurate contrast numbers for TVs?
@@jayshine2742 it varies depending on the tv. They try to find the greatest contrast in the most accurate picture mode. Sometimes they will do Local Dimmin in Medium if the High setting reduces contrast.
@@FURognar i was speaking about Sony LCD LED TVs only and every test they have done on the Sony TVs from the last few years were done with local dimming set to high and medium is the more accurate setting because high setting lower peak brightness, blowout bright highlights and also clip colors and bright whites which could be why they said that the X90J didn't have wide color gamut in their 1st test then they updated it saying that it does in fact have it
@@FURognar I tested about 4-5 different Sony LCD LED TVs in the last year and a half and all of them have the same result as far as local dimming medium and high and medium is always the better choice if u don't want any highlights and bright colors to be clipped thats why in all the presets medium is the default even in the most accurate custom preset
@@jayshine2742 Sony, LOL. They are the weakest LEDs when it comes to HDR. Only the X95 model tends to have really good HDR. Their X90 models arent much brighter than an OLED (in the highlites). You want HDR impact, you want the Samsung QN90A or Q80, TCL 6 series, Hisense H8G, Vizio P Quantum X. Its possible that this years Sony LED models will be brighter hopefully. The X95K seems to be good here. Waiting to see what happens with the X90K
Hmm, well I hope the x95k looks better then what I have seen on the other TH-cam channel, that must not be named, but I have some faith still after seeing SpareChanges review of the x95k, for I was not expecting an oled like led, but I am hoping the backlight master drive, will still allow for some good blooming control, I also just want to add the video I saw on the he who must not be named channel I wasn’t sure if he was unboxing the x95k, for it looked more like it had some bigger zones… but I will be able to figure out if his review is honest, since I bought an x95k 75 inch today, before I saw his video. But I am hoping my tv, will be a good worthwhile upgrade, at least from a curved Samsung ks 8500 I’ve had since 2016… I should also note: this will be my first fald tv.
Voldemort is a compulsive liar and the general rule is to do the opposite of what he recommends. He generates click traffic through outrage and dishonesty, while claiming that he's honest. I'd suggest never watching his content as he regularly contradicts himself and confuses people.
@@MrBrickhouse keep in mind that with the same camera settings the A80K would also show blooming. From all reports, X95K blooming is minimal, but if even the slightest blooming is an issue then you could get an A80K and put up with the OLED issues instead.
@@Z4d0k yea, I am still firmly in the led camp, regardless of blooming, I was just hoping that the backlight master drive would hopefully improve the blooming mitigation situation, to then see the other guys review, basically trashing all over the x95k, I am not sure who to believe, but I do have more faith in honesty from stop the fomo, b the installer, and whisper status 74, since they all seem to still like led’s a bit more, then just saying invest in oled, it is the best tv, nothing else comes close…
@@Z4d0k lol, yea, I think I was originally subscribed to him, back when I started thinking about looking at TV’s, only to realize, most of what he said was crap, so I unsubscribed, and I don’t really watch his reviews, but I just saw his review of the x95k tv, earlier today, and so I just wanted to make sure I asked what exactly everyone’s opinions of his reviews were.. I love that nickname you gave him by the way…
I'll buy it because Oleds are too expensive here in Peru. I currently have a sony x800h and I want a full array tv for my ps5 games and also upscaling full Hd streaming content 😄 I love the XR Processor
I am researching videos for information on my future purchase of a new tv on Black Friday. I enjoy the content except seeing presenters opening up boxes.
Sony is just awesome but I’m not a big fan of local dimming zones I do not care for the technology and I’m not a big fan of mini LEDs LCD technology either but Sony‘s QD old LED is what I’m interested in can’t wait to see that TV in action down the road
The thing is. Sony is the largest producer of real life films, lenses, just like Nikon or Canon. They build their TVs to recognize their filming quality and it is very high quality. Everyone today can manipulate the settings to their liking. It is not rocket science days a 70 year old. Just buy a display that provides the look you like. Tah dah.
On the X90J the difference with VRR on and OFF during actual gameplay is hardly noticeable outside of full black screens because the native contrast is almost as high as the contrast with local dimming if this TV is anything like the X90J in that way which I think it will be better then I believe the native contrast of this TV would be higher than the X90J with local dimming on honestly
@@BRIANSTECHTHERAPY can you compare the black levels to x95k please ie side by side of both tvs in vrr mode so we can see how bad the blacks are? thanks

When are the Sony QD-OLEDs going to come out?
Hi Brent! They were delayed until early July
Is there any DSE and/or corner vignetting?
need help on my purchase decision, have the A90J but it just does not give me what l want for sports and everyday viewing it's great for movies, but im between 2 TVs the X95K and the Z9J, I
want the most crisp detailed image l can get at an 85-inch size, what TV out of those 2 should get?
Keep your TV. It's better than both of your considerations.
@@kennybrooks8374 A90J is terrible for sports, do you have the Z9J? If so you don't sound happy with it, and I'm not getting rid of the A90J just need the best tv possible for sports
@@tvtech5727 I have the a90j, and it is killer watching anything.
kinda, just not for sports, once you have it on sports it will start to dime itself to stop the tv from burning in the image of the scoreboard or whatever logo may be on the TV for a long period like the ESPN logo. A90J amazing tv just not for sports
@@tvtech5727 to each his own my friend.
How do you browse internet on this TV?
The price is so good hope it performs well
when is the gaming review for this tv coming out?
I was told it has a 6500 native contrasts which is really good, so even with no local dimming the blacks should still look good? please test!
You'll see it next week on Thursday my friend
Nice vid. Nice TV. Many thanks.
My pleasure!! Thank you for watching
Robert gives good info, Thanks four this video
He is the Man! Thank you for watching
Well the idea is that they push the x90j down a bit as they introduced the a75k. So seeing it upgraded is pretty interesting
wow. Please let us know the function of "123" button on the remote?
I'll have to follow up on that Parag. Thank you for watching
@@BRIANSTECHTHERAPY Always a pleasure Brian.
Same here Parag! Hope all is well
@@BRIANSTECHTHERAPY 👍
When will you upload the sony a80k. Thanks for the nice tv news.🙏
He said tomorrow.
This tv or LG cs ?
I'm trying to decide between Sony x90k and a90k oled,but there are still no reviews about a90k model,hope you gonna compare those two models some day
We will when the A90K releases Ivan! Thank you for watching
The a90j carries over in the larger sizes (>48”). Huge difference between the two as the a90j is a top end OLED and the x90k is a mid tier LCD.
@@johnb4905 I was thinking about A90K model actually,not A90J
@@IvanStojsic Right. Like I said there isn’t going to be an A90k in the larger sizes.
Where the X90K video with HTA9,Does 77X90K WORTH IT??
There is no 77" x90k but a 75" and 85" . They are an excellent value and I do love the HTA9 system. Thank you for watching
I mostly watch anime and play ps5 a little bit, if OLED is not an option, is this the best tv in this price range?
I would say yes! Excellent value to performance ratio. Thank you for watching
@@BRIANSTECHTHERAPY
Thank you very much for replying. I have finally decided to buy the x90k, just waiting for a price drop soon or if my patience runs out then I will buy it before the price drop 😂 Your videos have helped me SO MUCH to decide which TV to buy. Thank you for replying and have a good day 😇
77 inch c1 for 2700 or 75 inch x95k for 3700?
77in Sony A80j with 5yr warranty for $2700 at Costco. That's the ticket!
Please make a direct comparison with 85x95j and 85x90k
I'll try in store however I don't have an X95J in my home. Thank you for watching
The problem with the 85-in x95j is that it has major grid pattern problems. I had two of them I ended up having to send back because it was such an issue and very noticeable. Plus they both had issues with clouding in dark gray scenes mostly noticeable in menus where the local dimming was not in use
How do you feel x90k vs q90b?
Hi J K, the Samsung QN90B is better but it's also the top of Samsungs lineup and this is mid. Thanks for watching
What about the z9k
How many dimming zones does this have?
Not sure yet Mark! I still have to count them
Sorry to bug you, again, but I am being disquieted by the recent Rtings comparison of the 90k vs the 90j, in which the 90j beats the 90k in cinema viewing, dimming function. And then, in discussion groups, everyone piles on in a dissing match over the 90K. I'm not one for nitpicking the lab measurements; I go more for the gestalt, the overall experience of watching movies and streaming apps such as Netflix. Can you, Brian, or any readers who actually own the x90k tell me if I have ordered a loser in that department? Will it look really good or just blah in the home environment. Oh, and I'm not a gamer.
My qn900a 8k its looks better on contrast color volume and local dimming but sony makes a decent job here
Hi Brian from India. 😊
which one do you suggest I go for? Sony 65” X90k or Samsung neo QLED 65QN90B ??
Would be great if you could reply.
Thank you.
I have same question, which one gave you bought? But isn't samsung atleast 50k more than Sony X90K? I was looking LG Qned and Sony x90k
We're getting closer to the A80K! I can feel it
I just hope that tv is good. Because I was gonna get the X90K but there's a lot of blooming I seen.
@@MrBrickhouse Yeah, now that OLED’s have finally matured it's the perfect year to get one! I only got a lousy (still beautiful) X850D
Local dimming should be on medium for the X90 TVs because high gives u a better black slightly but also blowout highlights aggressively
Dimming zones technology has came a long ways in mini LED has come along ways to but they both still have issues that they tend to leave out they just focus on how bright it is and how over saturation of colors are they like that stuff
@@alambe7275 what i mention is not a issue its just that the accurate setting is medium which is the default if you want to get better blooming control and sacrifice highlight detail the high setting is there for u if thats what u like but the way its meant to be viewed is with the local dimming on medium which does a amazing job especially considering Sony have much less zones than other TVs and still have great contrast
@@jayshine2742 agree!
The ads that crawl across the screen beforehand make this video unwatchable.
Ok
The X90K probably don't have the X Wide Angle and X Anti Reflection. So the X90K has a great contrast and all the strengths of the x95j!!
Looks like the UK aren’t seeing the 65” X95K until August/September like they did with the 65” X95J last year, I don’t get 🤷🏻♂️🙄
Quite similar first impressions as me when I first saw in store this week, but I did found the X90K to be just as hazy as the X90J and X900H in quite a handful of scenes due to the limited local dimming zones even if it has 2x the amount than its predecessors.
Yeah even the 95H had blooming
It's really annoying because in general viewing the picture is stunningly cinematic but once you notice the bloom you can't ignore it
@@ArtVandelayOfficial all LCD TVs have blooming even mini led... if blooming bother u just buy OLED
@@jayshine2742 You're right but some from past years had almost no bloom
Anyway I sold it and got A80J, it's mind blowing
@@ArtVandelayOfficial i like the A80J and its a better TV than X90K overall but I didn't like how much it dim when u play certain games with static images on screen for a long time like sports or shooters
@@jayshine2742 but OLED has dead pixels issues which comes I mostly after 6 to 7months in moderate level of use and then In order to get the repair by the warranty service, you still have to wait until you get five dead pixels on Sony or six dead big pixels on LG this is what I vë heard Best Buy rep ,that time your warranty might be worn out so paying higher price from our pocket to have this TV technology, I wouldn't spend that much to regret myself
Please have a more intensive test with an 85X90K
I'll only have access to the 65" my friend. Thank you for watching
Please see my note of 2 hours ago. I came upon the Samsung QN90A from Costco for about the same $$ as the X90K. I am tempted. So, question: X90K vs Q90A? Anyone?
Hi Julian! The Samsung QN90A is better than the X90K as the Samsung is the Flagship and is just better all around
X90k = X95J
X90K would have better contrast and higher native contrast which matter only because LCD LED TVs uses its native contrast when VRR is active and the X90J do a really good job with VRR better than I expected and better than the X95J so I'm sure the X90K would be better than both in VRR
Very Nice ! Tech just keeps getting better and better just like the size of these TV's ! If things look this good on the X90K ... I'm drooling thinking about how things will look on the Z9K's ! Napkin please ! Many thanks to Mr. R.Z. and gang at V.E. ! 👍😎
U8H winner 🏆
Viewing angle?
I show it in the video my friend during the demo section. Thank you for watching
Anyone looking for a simple answer. It's 4k capable(w/eARC), true 120hz with motionflow for awesome gaming. Only 2 ports if you have a lot of systems that offer 4k. Awesome tv from my little time of ownership!
How much longer must we wait for the 75"? *sigh*
Looks nice and the 85" is priced right. If this set catches up with its peers in contrast ratio (with local dimming on I hope its at least 10,000:1) and has brightness exceeding 1000 nits. If so I will seriously consider it for my dedicated build.
Rtings contrast numbers are off a little with local dimming on because they test with the high setting for local dimming which drop brightness and possibly contrast as well but their native contrast numbers are sure to be accurate since thats without local dimming... anyone know somewhere else I can look for accurate contrast numbers for TVs?
@@jayshine2742 it varies depending on the tv. They try to find the greatest contrast in the most accurate picture mode. Sometimes they will do Local Dimmin in Medium if the High setting reduces contrast.
@@FURognar i was speaking about Sony LCD LED TVs only and every test they have done on the Sony TVs from the last few years were done with local dimming set to high and medium is the more accurate setting because high setting lower peak brightness, blowout bright highlights and also clip colors and bright whites which could be why they said that the X90J didn't have wide color gamut in their 1st test then they updated it saying that it does in fact have it
@@FURognar I tested about 4-5 different Sony LCD LED TVs in the last year and a half and all of them have the same result as far as local dimming medium and high and medium is always the better choice if u don't want any highlights and bright colors to be clipped thats why in all the presets medium is the default even in the most accurate custom preset
@@jayshine2742 Sony, LOL. They are the weakest LEDs when it comes to HDR. Only the X95 model tends to have really good HDR. Their X90 models arent much brighter than an OLED (in the highlites). You want HDR impact, you want the Samsung QN90A or Q80, TCL 6 series, Hisense H8G, Vizio P Quantum X.
Its possible that this years Sony LED models will be brighter hopefully. The X95K seems to be good here. Waiting to see what happens with the X90K
Test it with RTX 3080 in 4k 144fps gaming
Very nice 👍 still don't understand all these confusing names lol
Looks like a dead pixel at the center top?
I'll check it out but I didn't see anything in person
Hmm, well I hope the x95k looks better then what I have seen on the other TH-cam channel, that must not be named, but I have some faith still after seeing SpareChanges review of the x95k, for I was not expecting an oled like led, but I am hoping the backlight master drive, will still allow for some good blooming control, I also just want to add the video I saw on the he who must not be named channel I wasn’t sure if he was unboxing the x95k, for it looked more like it had some bigger zones… but I will be able to figure out if his review is honest, since I bought an x95k 75 inch today, before I saw his video. But I am hoping my tv, will be a good worthwhile upgrade, at least from a curved Samsung ks 8500 I’ve had since 2016… I should also note: this will be my first fald tv.
Voldemort is a compulsive liar and the general rule is to do the opposite of what he recommends. He generates click traffic through outrage and dishonesty, while claiming that he's honest. I'd suggest never watching his content as he regularly contradicts himself and confuses people.
I seen the video you're talking about. I'm not sure about getting the X95K now because of the blooming. I might just get the A 80K.
@@MrBrickhouse keep in mind that with the same camera settings the A80K would also show blooming. From all reports, X95K blooming is minimal, but if even the slightest blooming is an issue then you could get an A80K and put up with the OLED issues instead.
@@Z4d0k yea, I am still firmly in the led camp, regardless of blooming, I was just hoping that the backlight master drive would hopefully improve the blooming mitigation situation, to then see the other guys review, basically trashing all over the x95k, I am not sure who to believe, but I do have more faith in honesty from stop the fomo, b the installer, and whisper status 74, since they all seem to still like led’s a bit more, then just saying invest in oled, it is the best tv, nothing else comes close…
@@Z4d0k lol, yea, I think I was originally subscribed to him, back when I started thinking about looking at TV’s, only to realize, most of what he said was crap, so I unsubscribed, and I don’t really watch his reviews, but I just saw his review of the x95k tv, earlier today, and so I just wanted to make sure I asked what exactly everyone’s opinions of his reviews were.. I love that nickname you gave him by the way…
The X95k doesn’t have an inner position in the 65” size. Sony makes great performing televisions but their design choices are head scratching.
Yes it does, according to Sony's website.
@@Z4d0k Holy Moly you're right. Thanks for the correction!
@@johnb4905 my pleasure :) It was something I was worried about too, as I skipped the 65" X95J due to no narrow feet option!
I'll buy it because Oleds are too expensive here in Peru. I currently have a sony x800h and I want a full array tv for my ps5 games and also upscaling full Hd streaming content 😄 I love the XR Processor
Save some money and buy last year's model x90J. They are on sale big time.
wow! the thanks for the very informative video.
My pleasure! Thank you so much for watching
Heard blooming is bad
I'm not finding that Nick! Thank you for watching
I am researching videos for information on my future purchase of a new tv on Black Friday. I enjoy the content except seeing presenters opening up boxes.
Sony is just awesome but I’m not a big fan of local dimming zones I do not care for the technology and I’m not a big fan of mini LEDs LCD technology either but Sony‘s QD old LED is what I’m interested in can’t wait to see that TV in action down the road
Ahh ... the pursuit of perfection, I wish you luck !
You'll see it here as soon as it's released
@@cooltuber1404 it pays to be wise thank you thank you
The thing is. Sony is the largest producer of real life films, lenses, just like Nikon or Canon. They build their TVs to recognize their filming quality and it is very high quality. Everyone today can manipulate the settings to their liking. It is not rocket science days a 70 year old. Just buy a display that provides the look you like. Tah dah.
Excellent comment Linda! Thank you for watching
Anyone have earc issue with this t.v
The look on the cat faces like what's going on here
Almost to bright. When it’s calibrated it should look like an expensive tv.
This tv was top of my list until i found out no local dimming with VRR :( RIP
On the X90J the difference with VRR on and OFF during actual gameplay is hardly noticeable outside of full black screens because the native contrast is almost as high as the contrast with local dimming if this TV is anything like the X90J in that way which I think it will be better then I believe the native contrast of this TV would be higher than the X90J with local dimming on honestly
It is unfortunate my friend. We will see gaming very soon
@@BRIANSTECHTHERAPY can you compare the black levels to x95k please ie side by side of both tvs in vrr mode so we can see how bad the blacks are? thanks
😍😍😍😍🤝👍🏻👍🏻
My wife doesn’t like that the legs aren’t super stable. It wobbles a bit. Boo Sony.
Understandable my friend. Thank you for watching!
