I've got the 75 Z9K here and I see blooming in certain situations but the overall picture looks so good it doesn't bother me. The set is uber bright when needed, the black goes black, and it doesn't crush black unless you really crank down the black level adjust. High bitrate 1080p and up is really crisp, low bitrate SD and HD is soft looking. Since this TV has been released they have released 2 to 3 firmware updates depending on how early you got your set. It just has a depth and 3d effect to the picture that blows away my previous TCL 65 825 original mini led set, even though the TCL has better blooming control, but it crushes blacks to get it in the high local dimming setting. I still love my TCL but the Z9K goes into beast mode when you feed it 4k HDR content. It is the brightest, best looking set I've ever seen in HDR. You pays yer money and take your chances but I'm quite happy with mine, somebody else might not be and it is quite expensive but price has been very slowly dropping since it was first released.
This seems like the conundrum faced. Crush blacks or have blooming? Sony seems to steer towards blooming. Are they right? Considering that they make the reference monitors used by professionals, maybe I should just shut up about blooming.
@@mikehamm45 Actually I didn't mind the crushed blacks on the TCL because just watching it from any normal angles you never saw any blooming and it had awesome black levels. It also went to almost 2000 nits in hdr so a very capable set for late 2019 when it was released. I got it in February 2020 just as everything shut down so had a nice TV to watch while I wasn't working. The Sony is on another level picture wise though, as it should be for what they charge for them and no crushed blacks is nice if I'm watching space flicks.
This is good to hear! I plan on going with the same TV. If some crazy money falls into my lap, I will go with the 85, but for now, the 75 is my goal haha. What are you using to feed your Z9K 4K HDR content?
WOW! You're so blessed & fortunate to have the privilege to open & set up that TV and all the other phenomenal TVs you've not only had in your home but to travel on location for work. Lucky guy!
It's only TV's why are you getting so gassed up about it. Go visit your local shop where you can see the TV in action and it's close to what he's doing but less hassle of mounting and what not
I usually always agree with B but, I feel as if a lot of reviewers like to crap on the Z9K before saying anything positive. No TV is perfect but, everyone likes to express all the "negatives" about the TV while minimizing the positives. I've been watching B for over a year now and still don't understand the hockey screen test 🙃 and, you'd think Sony blooming is exceedingly more noticeable than any other mini LED or even OLED for the matter. I get the Sony is expensive but, so is the Z2 or, 97 LG2 or even the Samsung when first launched. And, maybe it's not an Anti-Sony bias as much as, it's an pro OLED bias because I hardly ever hear the inherent problems with OLEDs. Except for the occasional burn in talk which everyone says is a non-issue now
Given the price, the remove should have been a bit more premium. It's basically an X85K remote with a thin metal plate over it. Afraid those days are behind us now........ Love that stand! Great video.
At current prices, the 85" Samsung's 2022 flagshipTV, the QN900B 8K, costs $3,000 less than the 85" Sony Z9K, so the Samsung might be the better all-around value for most buyers (and the Rtings TV test site mentions that the QN900B upscales lower resolution content well).
Surprised you still lay the panels face down when attaching the bracket or stand with the Sony TVs. Laying the panels flat is especially hard on a panels larger than 75”. Sony’s packaging has styrofoam at the base in three sections for stabilization so you can remove certain sections and attach whatever you need to attach while keeping the panel upright. I was able to attach the stand in its soundbar position on my 83” A90J by myself.
I brought one about six months ago?? I love it. Great picture. Sony Z9K- 8K -HDK with a Bravin cam? They are expensive.?$$$$but I enjoyed it, and I love the picture of the quality??? 85 in is a GOOD size entertainment!!! I have Friends give me a comment on my new TV? Saying that they love the TV?
Yes, 8K and higher resolution should look better but that is only true if the the source is able to support it. For the majority of people, 4K is definitely plenty good enough. Even for monitors, 4K is my final destination for resolution. I just find it silly to go any higher unless it's work related and your job depends on it.
Hi, yes agreed with you......can our eyes really can see the difference between 4k vs 8k? Maybe for some people with extraordinary vision like eagle eyes. I can understand from dvd to 1080p and to 4k........haven't see a 8k setup yet. Since I dont have 20/20 eyes vision, I will stop at Oled 4k.

To me, the LG Z2 looked a lot sharper and pleasing to my eye than the z9k..while i could not afford the Z2, i wonder if the LG G3 would more or less have the same picture quality as the z2? cuz that picture on the z2 looked like what i would want to see in a TV, not the z9k - signed owner of X95K
Much discussion whether the Z9K can display Native 8K Content. For showing 8K Content what was the connection chain (source through to HDMI 4) ? I have this model and size TV. T.I.A. and thank you for this review.
Hey B - love the channel man. One big request though, could you do a review of the Sony SU-WL855 ultra-thin wall mount? It is pricey but I'm a huge sony fanboy and have all sony OLED tv's, so I'm wondering if it's worth the premium. The crazy thing is I don't think there are any other videos on youtube about it, so you would have the ONLY review of it!
@@BTheInstaller ok I just watched, cool video but you didn’t really talk about the mounts and whether you think they’re worth the price or not. Any comment?
I have been waiting for pull the trigger on multiple tvs from 65 s95b to C2 or qn90b 75in. And got a great deal on LG C2 77In. Ur channel has help me make my choice thanks!
the lg oled C2 Is a great tv especially for gaming. it's a great overall tv but for gaming it's one of the best or the best. the detail picture quality is amazing motion is very good too.
You would be surprised how much blooming g doesn’t matter to most people. You really have to look for it and for a lot of people the do not see it. Just saying
Is there seriously an LED out there that doesn't have DSE? I find it frustrating that I spent big bucks on the QN90A and I can notice vertical lines when there's a lighter image on the screen or when the screen pans during sports. It's much more noticeable on an angle. I then go to a sports bar and see their TV's and none of them seem to have this issue and I am pretty sure they are not caring about DSE. This panel lottery crap is annoying. You either get an OLED that's too dark for most rooms or you get an LED and hope for the best.
My grandma once had a 91" TV about 8 to 9 years ago and my God it was ginormous. But in today's time she actually has the exact same TV you guys showed in this video
Is it me or are TV's today either not quite bright enough (OLED) or TOO bright (mini LED, QLED)? I mean I had a Sumsung QLED and the thing was obnoxious when it would switch from a dark scene to a bright outdoor scene and I could never completely dial that out in settings. Felt like I needed sunglasses. Same with HDR highlights. An indoor scene with windows made the outside glare make me wish someone would pull down a shade or install some curtains. All this extreme brightness can't be good for the eyes either. One reason I think I'm sticking with OLED even though I'm tempted to go back to LCD from my A80j. Might just opt for the slightly brighter C2 instead. At least I won't go (completely) blind watching it.
😂 ☠ Oh man. I felt like I was saying this to myself when researching and comparing TV. Too bright... Not bright enough.. Settings are needed to know what I'm dealing etc etc. The A80j is that dim that you want to go back to Leds? The X90K seemed so nice until I started doing those dam blooming tests.. 😒 but I had to understand what I was about to buy.
Yeah man same thing for me. Wanted to really go Sony lcd again but the Britishness is just too much, it hurts watching it. Cranking it down in the menu doesn’t make any sense, if u buy a high brightness mini led tv, u have to set brightness to 100, otherwise go oled. That’s why I’ll go oled… got an lg c8 77“ and will soon move to Sony a80l 83“.
You don't buy an 8k TV for 8k content, you buy to watch 4k in all its glory. Current 4k TVs are only 3840(Horizontal pixels)x2160(Vertical pixels) so technically they should be called 3.8k TVs. 8k TVs are 7680(H)x4320(V) so can show 4k fully. That's my take on it.
@@PSYCHOV3N0M No confusion here, you obviously don’t know that all 4k (means 4 thousands) TVs are ‘Not’ actually 4k and ‘All’ manufacturers need to upscale to 4k ‘Like’ image, why? Because the so called 4k TVs are only 3840x2160 (which is less than 4k) so each manufacturer uses their own processing to provide 4k ‘like’ image. It’s in the actual marketing/advertising, that’s what they all say. My point is with an 8k you don’t need any processing trickery for 4k content on a 8k TV (not actually 8k)
I'm very confused. Please tell me what's your opinion? A80k or s95b or c2 ? My uses important watch football and movies Netflix HBO prime video apple TV and little use fifa 23 ps5 I want best tv for all uses?? I will buy tomorrow so I want know your opinion please??
I have a Z9J and just bought a Z9K. I'll never go back to OLED. Before my Z9J I had a A90J, and when I switched to the Z9J it was a whole world opened up to me that I had been missing out on in terms of HDR and brightness. Whites actually look white!!
I'm afraid of the burn in. I was considering LG OLED Evo C2 77 or Samsung Neo QLED QN90BD, Sony A80 CK 77. Which one would you think would be better not to have Any burn in? Thank you so much for your great videos and information on everything you do. I really appreciate it.
I have the same concerns and my choices came down between the 77" LG C2 OLED and Sony A80K OLED. After further research, these new OLEDs are much more resistant to burn-in. As long as you wouldn't be using it as a monitor with a lot of static images on the screen for hours, you should be ok. I got the "77 LG C2 OLED and I'm very satisfied with it. I have it paired with the Polk Audio Signa S4 soundbar connected via HDMI eARC port. I chose this soundbar because it's low profile and doesn't cover the base of the TV. It also sounds much better than the TV speakers.
Lg or sony, sony buys their panels from lg so it's pretty much the same thing but different processing. Samsung just got back into oled so we don't know the long term effects. If you don't care about brightness, you can reduce burn in risk alot by turning down brightness. Personally I love my brightness.
@@asafblasbergvideographer didn't understand the comment in the context of the video, given the z9k is an miniLED panel. I know OLEDs have this issue (for now).
Wow a very nice good looking tv best picture quality and built. i think mini led is best of both world oled & led giving you a good black level and brightness if you dont want oled,if only sony can master all gaming features like LG it would be a perfect tv.
No mention of off axis performance which is critical for ultimate immersion of a large screen TV. QD OLED is the king of that quality and when larger screen sizes are a reality, an affordable reality, people will see what is possible.
8k just isn’t needed here in Uk , u tube has 8k content but 4K is good enough , Sony are generally built well and the new processor I’m sure works great with the 4K source I’ve a Samsung 75inch 95b as I moved over from Sony a few year ago now it’s pretty dam amazing for everything I feed it with and I’m sure once I can get a Sony PlayStation 5 for Xmas ,,,are you reading this wife,,,,,,,,❤❤❤ if there were more broadcast in 8k ide maybe consider a screen that displays it but until then not.. not sure what’s happening to Jen she adds a bit sparkle to your video not sure she be able to pick this monster up with you tho..keep up the good work feller 😊
BE AWARE!!! that the new HDMI 2.1 capable Sony TV's, this one included, don't work with any Nvidia RTX 3000 and 4000 series cars since after Nvidia's April 512.95 driver. You can't get an image working on any HDMI 2.0 ports on the TV, you just get a garbled frozen image. On the HDMI 2.1 port, only Enhanced (VRR) works, but Z9K still doesn't have local dimming working on in VRR. Also, and this is the biggest issue, this lock you into Game mode so you can't use the GFX card for HTPC purposes as you can't change to other modes such a Cinema/Custom/Standard etc. So no Motion Smoothing or better Local Dimming as you get in Cinema/Custom/IMAX. As for gaming, in VRR you can't use Clearness for 120hz Black Frame Insertion as this only works on Enhanced without VRR. This is terrible and I'm considering returning my beautiful X95K I just bought. The RTX 4000 series can't install the older Nvidia drivers at all, so and can ONLY be used with Enhance VRR, effectively crippling every nice feature the TV has to offer in the other display modes. The cause for this seems to be a combination of Sony's HDMI EDID and Nvidia adopting stricter EDID rules. The solution is to use the old driver on the 3000 series and never by another new Nvidia card, or just don't buy a Sony TV if you want the 3000/4000 series card going forward. I hope Sony can get this sorted but I'm not optimistic looking at their slow response to fixing issues.
Hello From Finland . Moving picture is important to me . I hate if picture twitching. Smooth is The best . Can you ranking all TV that you have testing . One Episode please . T . Saviranta Kai
One thing I really like about your videos is they are honest and accurate. The 85" Sony Z9K is a dog that ain't goin' to bark. No thanks Sony, who in their right mind is going to pay $9000.00 for that pile of junk? Especially when you can get a Sony 83" A90J OLED on sale for half the price and twice the picture quality and complete elimination of the blooming, dirt, etc....
I would consider 8K if 8K content actually existed, but as of now, even 4K has yet to become standard across the board. 8K is so much data, I can understand why. I guess in the future, 8K gaming will be possible, but outside of that, I don’t see 8K gaining enough traction to motivate content providers to offer up 8K versions of their stuff.
No one is buying this kind of tv to watch regular standard content and expecting amazing upscaling from 480i-1080i to 8K. At least I'm not. I'm okay with that. I just want the best sony has to offer.

Seriously, who is spending 9 grand for a tv? Even if you find a deal at 8 grand, i still want to know who is buying one? Dont get me wrong ive been known to spend a ridiculous amount of money on things i want but at some point dont you have to take a hard look at what your doing? Especially considering how fast current technology becomes "old technology", sometimes overnight. 4 years from now id bet good money they will be selling cheap hisense tvs with this same technology for a lot less

That’s why I’ll go oled… got an lg c8 77“ and will soon move to Sony a80l 83“.
You don't buy an 8k TV for 8k content, you buy to watch 4k in all its glory. Current 4k TVs are only 3840(Horizontal pixels)x2160(Vertical pixels) so technically they should be called 3.8k TVs. 8k TVs are 7680(H)x4320(V) so can show 4k fully. That's my take on it.
lol😬
lol
Stop confusing DCI 4K with UHD 4K.
🤣🤣🤣
@@PSYCHOV3N0M No confusion here, you obviously don’t know that all 4k (means 4 thousands) TVs are ‘Not’ actually 4k and ‘All’ manufacturers need to upscale to 4k ‘Like’ image, why? Because the so called 4k TVs are only 3840x2160 (which is less than 4k) so each manufacturer uses their own processing to provide 4k ‘like’ image. It’s in the actual marketing/advertising, that’s what they all say. My point is with an 8k you don’t need any processing trickery for 4k content on a 8k TV (not actually 8k)
Watching in 2160p 😊
Still blooming ? I want a qdoled with 4000 nits
I'm very confused. Please tell me what's your opinion? A80k or s95b or c2 ? My uses important watch football and movies Netflix HBO prime video apple TV and little use fifa 23 ps5 I want best tv for all uses?? I will buy tomorrow so I want know your opinion please??
Should I get the Z9K or save some money and buy the Z9J or go the A95L route. Which TV is the most superior? Thoughts?
Great question
I have a Z9J and just bought a Z9K. I'll never go back to OLED. Before my Z9J I had a A90J, and when I switched to the Z9J it was a whole world opened up to me that I had been missing out on in terms of HDR and brightness. Whites actually look white!!
You must have a bad panel? Others have not had a problem with screen uniformity.
To watch movies and football.. which model is the best 55 size TV?? Thank you
Sony X90J
I'm afraid of the burn in. I was considering LG OLED Evo C2 77 or Samsung Neo QLED QN90BD, Sony A80 CK 77. Which one would you think would be better not to have Any burn in? Thank you so much for your great videos and information on everything you do. I really appreciate it.
never heard of burn in on LED TVs.
@@lucianoraus He was referring to LG OLED.
I have the same concerns and my choices came down between the 77" LG C2 OLED and Sony A80K OLED. After further research, these new OLEDs are much more resistant to burn-in. As long as you wouldn't be using it as a monitor with a lot of static images on the screen for hours, you should be ok.
I got the "77 LG C2 OLED and I'm very satisfied with it. I have it paired with the Polk Audio Signa S4 soundbar connected via HDMI eARC port. I chose this soundbar because it's low profile and doesn't cover the base of the TV. It also sounds much better than the TV speakers.
Lg or sony, sony buys their panels from lg so it's pretty much the same thing but different processing. Samsung just got back into oled so we don't know the long term effects. If you don't care about brightness, you can reduce burn in risk alot by turning down brightness. Personally I love my brightness.
@@asafblasbergvideographer didn't understand the comment in the context of the video, given the z9k is an miniLED panel. I know OLEDs have this issue (for now).
Wow a very nice good looking tv best picture quality and built. i think mini led is best of both world oled & led giving you a good black level and brightness if you dont want oled,if only sony can master all gaming features like LG it would be a perfect tv.
No mention of off axis performance which is critical for ultimate immersion of a large screen TV. QD OLED is the king of that quality and when larger screen sizes are a reality, an affordable reality, people will see what is possible.
8k just isn’t needed here in Uk , u tube has 8k content but 4K is good enough , Sony are generally built well and the new processor I’m sure works great with the 4K source I’ve a Samsung 75inch 95b as I moved over from Sony a few year ago now it’s pretty dam amazing for everything I feed it with and I’m sure once I can get a Sony PlayStation 5 for Xmas ,,,are you reading this wife,,,,,,,,❤❤❤ if there were more broadcast in 8k ide maybe consider a screen that displays it but until then not.. not sure what’s happening to Jen she adds a bit sparkle to your video not sure she be able to pick this monster up with you tho..keep up the good work feller 😊
You can't upscale 720P to 8k. It's going to look pixalated. That's why 4k tvs are better, unless you're watching 4k blu-rays.
Can this do 8k 120hz ?
I hope to open the box and evaluate Samsung QD-OLED
WOW 👑SONY GOD FOREVER#1 ✌️ 👑
I bought a ug7 tv with Uniformity issues it bothers me but what are you supposed to do
Ignore it. I don't notice it that much in content
@@BTheInstaller yes I’ve seen a lot worse 👀
How doese it compare to the x95k?
It's brighter and 8k, slightly better processing. If you don't care the X95 would probably make you quite happy for a lot less money.
BE AWARE!!! that the new HDMI 2.1 capable Sony TV's, this one included, don't work with any Nvidia RTX 3000 and 4000 series cars since after Nvidia's April 512.95 driver. You can't get an image working on any HDMI 2.0 ports on the TV, you just get a garbled frozen image. On the HDMI 2.1 port, only Enhanced (VRR) works, but Z9K still doesn't have local dimming working on in VRR. Also, and this is the biggest issue, this lock you into Game mode so you can't use the GFX card for HTPC purposes as you can't change to other modes such a Cinema/Custom/Standard etc. So no Motion Smoothing or better Local Dimming as you get in Cinema/Custom/IMAX. As for gaming, in VRR you can't use Clearness for 120hz Black Frame Insertion as this only works on Enhanced without VRR.
This is terrible and I'm considering returning my beautiful X95K I just bought. The RTX 4000 series can't install the older Nvidia drivers at all, so and can ONLY be used with Enhance VRR, effectively crippling every nice feature the TV has to offer in the other display modes.
The cause for this seems to be a combination of Sony's HDMI EDID and Nvidia adopting stricter EDID rules. The solution is to use the old driver on the 3000 series and never by another new Nvidia card, or just don't buy a Sony TV if you want the 3000/4000 series card going forward. I hope Sony can get this sorted but I'm not optimistic looking at their slow response to fixing issues.
Thank you Joel for letting the community know about this. This is disappointing.
Hello From Finland . Moving picture is important to me . I hate if picture twitching. Smooth is The best . Can you ranking all TV that you have testing . One Episode please . T . Saviranta Kai
The brightest and best TV ever = SONY Z9K
The brightening around the subtitles makes it unacceptable for me. I have oled and it's hard for me to give up this quality
I really want this tv for my child 😩 but I don't have much money to bay this tv 😕
Baytheway I love your video sir ❤️
no tiene otra animación para prueba que no sea Encanto de tanta que hay
One thing I really like about your videos is they are honest and accurate. The 85" Sony Z9K is a dog that ain't goin' to bark. No thanks Sony, who in their right mind is going to pay $9000.00 for that pile of junk? Especially when you can get a Sony 83" A90J OLED on sale for half the price and twice the picture quality and complete elimination of the blooming, dirt, etc....
Beravoo mon frer good lake
No 8K No sale........
I wonder, why you never unboxing panasonic tvs
They aren't available in the USA anymore unless you have a way to get them in.
Does 8k really matter? Especially for 65 inch or less
Does Sony know that Net Flix is about to be on the trash heap?? Both my Bravia TVs have the big Net flix button
I would consider 8K if 8K content actually existed, but as of now, even 4K has yet to become standard across the board. 8K is so much data, I can understand why.
I guess in the future, 8K gaming will be possible, but outside of that, I don’t see 8K gaining enough traction to motivate content providers to offer up 8K versions of their stuff.
Isn't this an old video like a couple of months old
$6k for this TV!!! 😲 Crazy expensive.
9k for the 85 inch 6k for 75 inch. not worth it if you ask me.
@@akasinned52 agreed.
No one is buying this kind of tv to watch regular standard content and expecting amazing upscaling from 480i-1080i to 8K. At least I'm not. I'm okay with that. I just want the best sony has to offer.
Z9K or Z9J?
Z9J should be very good. Or you can get the X95K which also has Mini-LED like this Z9K and save money 😎
I have both. Same brightness. Z9j might be brighter
@@Audiostylez in the end i bought the Sony 65a95k i’m very glad with my choice!
imagine Call of Duty, on this Tv 🤦🏻♂️👌
Bro can u please be quite we need to listen the sound quality of tv also bro
Top.
Every TV I own is the Sony and I will not purchase another one until they start carrying 2.1 HDMI port on all ports.
Amen! That will come with the new mediatek chips and hopefully next year
It’s not biggest. Check TCL 98” 🤷🏻♂️

@@J0hnW1ck69 Haha 😂 lol’d so hard at this because it’s true 🤣 😆
No Jen, I’m switching off….
I returned a 65" tv because it was way too big for me. I don't even imagine how intimidating these are.
"too"
$9k? No thanks. An underrated mini-led is the LG qned85. I own one at 65" and it's really good imo. It's 4k so not comparing apples to apples but I think most would be just as happy with it. And it's $2,700 right now in an 86".
That LG is trash IPS panel that's why its so cheap, no serious TV enthusiast will buy it.
@@deanwilliams433 Wrong. But if you like to blow money go for it.

Nice vids but you gotta ditch Deal Dash. They’re a scam. They’re actually owned by the same company as Established Titles which is also a scam. Anyone reading this, please research Deal Dash before spending money there.
As soon as u said it’s not better than the Lg z2 8k i stopped watching and went to look at it lol
RIGHT OLED IS THE BEST!!!
Not very bright..LG qed mini for me
Such a shame that EU wants TV’s like this banned for using «too much power»
Почему? Отчего?
Seriously, who is spending 9 grand for a tv? Even if you find a deal at 8 grand, i still want to know who is buying one? Dont get me wrong ive been known to spend a ridiculous amount of money on things i want but at some point dont you have to take a hard look at what your doing? Especially considering how fast current technology becomes "old technology", sometimes overnight. 4 years from now id bet good money they will be selling cheap hisense tvs with this same technology for a lot less
