  • Опубликовано: 27 июл 2024
  • The Sony A95L OLED is Sony's flagship 4k QD-OLED TV in 2023, replacing the Sony A95K OLED. It's powered by Sony's Cognitive Processor XR image processor and is the only Sony TV in 2023 to use MediaTek's latest Pentonic 1000 HDMI chipset. This, in turn, enables Dolby Vision gaming at up to 120Hz, a first for Sony TVs. It uses the popular Google TV smart interface, which is easy to use and has a huge selection of streaming apps, and the TV has an internal microphone for hands-free voice control. It also supports Sony's S-Center speaker input, which can turn the TV into a center speaker channel for a connected soundbar or home theater receiver, and an ATSC 3.0 tuner for up to 4k over-the-air broadcast support. It's available in 55, 65, and 77-inch sizes, so there's something for most viewing environments.

    Just a friendly reminder to everyone that HDMI 2.1 is not required for Dolby Vision. It is only needed for advanced frame rate features like ALLM and VRR.

    • @thenonexistinghero
      @thenonexistinghero 6 месяцев назад +1

      Didn't they essentially change the definition in such a way that all HDMI from 2.0 is now 2.1. Though that's just definitions, having a fake 2.1 won't help you with stuff that requires real 2.1 obviously. That being said, for Dolby Vision you can even use HDMI 1.4 for movies and the like. Well, outside of that Will Smith movie that runs at 60 fps on a 4K blu-ray. For gaming at 60 fps in 4K with Dolby Vision you do need HDMI 2.0. And for higher fps than that you need 2.1 and also for variable framerates. Even then I think the limit of current cables and ports max out at 60 fps at 8K (but it's pretty pointless to game at those resolutions for the coming years. All but just a few people are even able to notice a difference between 8K and 4K when it comes to normal viewing distances for regular-sized TV's. You'd be looking at 100+ inch TV's if you want to actually notice a difference.

    Hot Take… OLED TV’s are actually starting to get too bright unless you have a really bright room… Even the LG C3 is much brighter than even a few years old OLED. Are TV companies trying to blind us?? QD-OLED nearly blinds me when watching. Went with the C3 in the end, and I still have to turn the brightness down on some shows!

    Question for you, if you like gaming and movies, would you sacrifice the 10” and go with the 65” A95 L or would you get the 75”. There are advantages to both; the 75” is bigger but the quality of the 64” A95 L is second to none. I am leaning to try A95 L

    I think you just affirmed my concerns about burn in: "Burn-in will only be an issue if you plan on displaying static content, or want to play the same thing repeatedly for long periods." I watch CNBC 10 hours a day, and don't appreciate what burn-in did to my Pioneer Elite 1140 plasma. Seems we can't yet be any more secure about OLED tech.

    • @frommatorav1

      Easy solution. Either don't subject yourself to news channels for 10 hours a day or buy a diff type of TV. Even LCDs are subject to burn in watching static images or constantly using closed captions (looking at you Applebee's TV).

    A lot of reviews say the lack of 2.1 ports isn’t a big issue for most people, but it is for me and not sure if this is a deal breaker or not. If I was to get a HDMI switch, would the TV save the picture settings I set up in each HDMI input or would it just use the same settings and I would have to change each time to my liking depending what I was using? I’m assuming as the switch would be plugged into HDMI 1 on the tv, it would use these same settings whether I was watching SDR or HDR, movies or cable? Or am I talking rubbish ?

    Might I suggest that instead of having "Better than XX% of TVs tested", you display the percentile of a score instead? For something like Blooming, which scores a perfect 10/10, it shows as "Better than 43% of TVs tested". I think the better statistic would be the fact that it's in the 100th percentile.

    I’m surprised you didn’t recommend the Samsung S90C as an alternative, at least the 77 inch version. A lot of people and reviewers say it’s 90% of the S95C and it’s a good deal cheaper, doesn’t suffer the issues the One Connect box brings. I am sure the A95L is the best TV ever for the people that can afford it, but for $2,000-$2,500 the S90C is an incredible value, it’s the best TV I have ever owned by far.

      5grand is just crazy. 77 inch Samsung S 90c Qoled is less than half that price for slightly weaker image processing and slightly less image accuracy. Two things that I guarantee you personally would not notice unless you have both screens side-by-side showing duplicate content. Most people are not watching up scaled content these days. If you are in the know of these high-end TVs, you’re most likely streaming high quality content more than 50% of the time. Sony is charging this much for top shelf processing chips at a price that is far beyond normal profit margins.

      The G3 was $4500 at launch (I'm including the additional $200 stand/foot in that figure since that is what it cost me). There has always been a Sony tax so launching @ $500 more vs. G3 was fairly reasonable when you look at it. Especially with it being QDOLED vs WOLED.
      The price will come down eventually, like it did for the G3 and S95C. Samsung and LG had their chance to scalp us early adopters.. can't blame Sony for doing the same can you?

    Two issues on my A95L, 2/3rds of the screen went black when I was switching HDMI inputs. It remained there on other inputs but not on the home screen I had to reboot to correct this. A replacement TV did the same thing. I removed the Firestick (with recast box) from the HDMI input and resolved this issue. A Sony engineer was very interested and supportive. The 2nd issue is the very slow switching to ATSC 3.0 channels, typically 13 seconds. Hopefully this will get resolved in a firmware update. Still love the picture so I'm keeping it.

    Rtings, question for the team:
    When a TV hdr peak highlight is different at 3%, vs at 10%., let's say 500 nit difference, what do you set your hdr game calibration to? The 3% nit value or 10%?
    If you set it to the 3% nit value, will it clip the medium sized highlights, but if you set it too low, you wont use the high brightness from small highlights?
    Whats the tradeoff your team recommends?

    • @thephantom9080
      @thephantom9080 6 месяцев назад

      I have the same question as well! I think based on hdtv test recommendation for the A95L, due to the lack of HGIG support on sony tvs, you should first turn off hdr tone mapping then use the hdr calibration (all the way down for dark as tjis is oled, and until the sun disappears for bright highlights which should take 17 clicks from the bottom for the A95L). As turning hdr tone mapping off without the option for HGIG, you will be undertraking the PQ EOTF curve but the reason for this calibration is to reach the clipping point, after that turn hdr tone mapping to gradation prefered which should track the curve as best as possible (given no HGIG support).

    • @RTINGSdotcom
      @RTINGSdotcom  6 месяцев назад

      Both of these TVs perform really similarly in our tests and it really comes down to personal preference and what you plan to use them mostly for! The G3 is the brighter OLED, it can reach a higher peak brightness in HDR and performs better in SDR when bright content takes up a large portion of the screen. However, the LG G3's HDR brightness drops quite a bit in Game Mode, while the S95C maintains its brightness well in that mode. The S95C officially supports 4k @ 144Hz, giving it the edge over the 120Hz G3. The S95C can output much brighter colors overall, so, typical of Samsung panels, its colors will be 'punchier' than the G3's. and with its wider color gamut, the S95C will be the more vibrant TV in most cases!
