I bought the A80K model and I think I received it well, the colors are really natural and very realistic sony thanks ❤❤❤
After watching this, I feel that the most proper comparison of what QD OLED brings to the table will be the A80k vs the A95k. Same processing, just different panel and a heatsink that's not really being used. That's when we'll see the advantages of QD OLED vs WOLED. It appears that WOLED has set such a high bar and the upgrades are smaller than we'd think without artificially bumping brightness up. Times have changed from when Quantum Dots came out in 2013 and simply looked night and day better than LEDs without them.
And to everyone here, run and watch Top Gun Maverick - you're welcome!
The heatsink is used, just look at the new video from HDTVtest
Watched this on my 5K 27 inch iMac in full screen and the A80K comes out as most natural picture of the two. Samsung color looks a bit cartoony but the Sony is always natural and easy on the eye. Just need to take a look at the Sony A95K before I make a final decision but right now the 77 A80K is at top of my list. You are doing such a great job this year working with value electronics to make choosing a new TV a pleasant and exciting process.
If you can, check out the S95B on Filmmaker mode on Firmware 1211.2, it will look completely different and is more accurate than the A80K and A95K on Filmmaker mode believe it or not. No cartoony colors as people say and is very very natural looking (not just my opinion, see what Vincent at HDTV Test and others said after the Firmware update). This is why we’re hearing a different tune about the S95B now. This comparison doesn’t show that with the update, so we’re only seeing “old issues” here.
Sure, I like blue elephants in the Sony A80K. There are a lot of blue elephants in Africa!
@@neolaciss A80 K does have a blue push out of box which can easily be changed.Still feel its a better picture than the S95B
@@mattgiunt sorry but I disagree. elephants are not blue. and the samsung is by far more color accurate
@@mgaming7 calibration equalizes clor
Impressed with the A80k tbh. Lots of interesting advances this year. Need to see the entire lineup and how they perform over the next few months. And yes firmware updates are a bit of a wildcard but should be expected with new tech.
A80K versus A90J would have been more interesting to be honest, do you feel the new EVO EX panel makes a huge impact compared to last year's Sony models ? The A90J still has the Heatsink so it would have been interesting to see if it still gets brighter.
Sonys cognitive processor is my jam. The extra details, the higher contrast and deeper blacks. I just like what that processor does.
The details in picture in the Sony A80K looks fantastic. In this comparison it looks like the better TV especially as you can get it in 77”. I think a 77” Sony A80K will be far superior in a living with a viewing distance of greater than 10feet viewing distance than a 65” Samsung S95B in the same circumstance
The S95B looks better in virtually every scene in this video. The A80K seems to have the same issues with color reproduction as every WOLED I've seen.
Man, I am impressed with both TVs, I'm leaning to the Sony A80K. The majority of the scenes the sony seemed richer by comparison. The darker scenes especially. Thanks Brian! I like the name change it goes with what you are doing.
Thank you so much Dabber! Hope all is well!
Sure, I like blue elephants in the Sony A80K. There are a lot of blue elephants in Africa!
@@neolaciss shills have no shame.
@@neolaciss Samsung way to pink.
Yeah but that may be bc of how the camera is picking up the higher brightness. I don't think that lack of richness is really there in person.
So much more detail in the Sony’s picture. Even when watching this video on a small phone screen. Did not expect there to be such and obvious difference.
Never owned a Sony Oled but I’m liking the A80k. At the same price would you take it over the C2?
It's excellent! I prefer the C2 as my usage is more gamer based! Thank you for watching
@@BRIANSTECHTHERAPY ive seen some last generation oled sideby side. it seems as the sony does quite a lot better upscaling of sdr content in game mode. A lot of sdr games out there still. For methats a bigger deal breaker than vrr with regards to gaming. Thanks for the video
Hey Brian, I was highly impressed by the A80k in regards to detail and brightness! I am closer to picking my TV, thanks to you! I just have the G2 to compare against then I’m set 😁 thanks to you for assisting us all in this TV debacle!
waht is your final answer? A80K?
What did you decide on??
@@GCharlesE g2
A80K
I was tossed up between s95b, g2, and a80k. I eventually decided to go with a80k. All the small differences aside, something about the Sony just looks better in-person.
Again, as always, the best TV review channel
Thank you so very much, my friend!
This made me choose the Sony. I couldn’t be happier with the purchase. Thanks!
My pleasure ! I'm so glad you found the video helpful. Thank you so much
Sony is $1300 cheaper in Canada for a 65 and has Dolby vision no brainer for me! I like the Sony picture quality look compared to Samsung
Nice one, Bryan! Looking forward and big thanks to VE again. Greatly appriecated. Going 20k soon!!!
Thank you as always Fred!
I’ve seen the update on S95B. The thing I noticed is is scaled back on color saturation as its processor was really pushing the reds. The update in my opinion is now more color accurate. It would be great to see your analysis on it on another video with the update. Thanks for what you do. Kyle
I noticed that myself, although I did my tv with displayCAL and gamma and black levels was pretty spot on out of the box, but some was little rised out of box, looks better now
Love the name change B. great video as always.
Thank you so much EP! Hope all is well
Samsungs colors do not look good, A80k looks more natural.
It's exactly opposite of what you claimed. The A80K has an ugly, dull greenish/blueish cast to everything. The colors look much more natural on the S95B.
Samsung colors look over saturated
Something wrong with your eye, it’s the other way 😂
@@universalhellfireent so what. Are you sitting right in front of your screen and watch while making messurments . What if i tell you oversaturated can look better and uve been Lied to sheep?
I'm in the market for these and lg c2 ...I noticed Sony uses blue to make it cool....s95b looks more natural ....Sony has poor motion handling and this is coming from a Sony guy..
After much research I narrowed it down to these 2 tv's. In some scenes the s95b does look brighter, but also a bit washed out. I think the a80k is the winner in my book. The colors look more accurate.
I agree with you 100pct
The colors look cartoony and inaccurate. WOLED TVs have always had colors that look like LCD colors to my eyes. No matter how I calibrate them they never manage to look as natural as my plasma TVs.
I'm excited that QD-OLED finally seems to have that pure, neutral white point and overall natural color reproduction that plasmas do.
Go with g2
You cannot honestly think the Samsung looks better
Love the updated branding Brian and the video!!
Hey Brian, hope you are well! When does the A80k vs G2 video come out you think? I’m excited to see that one for sure 👍🏼 Best Buy still doesn’t have these TVs unfortunately..keep the awesome videos coming!!
Had the S95B on day 7 I turned it on and there was a vertical green line near the dead center of the screen. Couldn’t believe it. Luckily I was able to return it to Best Buy for an exchange. Went with a C2 got home and that panel was also busted with white vertical lines over the entire screen. Now I’m 0-2 and thinking about going for the Sony A80k as I have not been reading about this tv having as many issues. Who knows maybe I just got unlucky but if this had happened after the 15 day return policy I would have been pissed.
the A80k looks more bluish in color. But it pops. While the S95B is more yellow. It seems the A80k is set on cool instead of warm 2.
Yeah haha, look at the elephant shot. It is blue on the A80K. A blue fuckign elephant? Come on.
To my eyes the A80K looks better in the majority of the scenes. There are a few where the Sammy has the edge, but I chose A80K overall
great video Brian that SONY looked pretty awesome to me for a WRGB OLED. still has a lot of punch even though it's not a Quantum Dot.
what we have to give to QD Oled is crazy good uniformity in near blacks and whites 🙂 and there are more advantages. I am admiting this as happy A80J user, I know Sony processing is better on A80J in low bitrate content as on S95B but in HDR field or other things S95B holds the Edge 🙂
Well said! Thank you for watching
Both are excellent and honestly, no one could go wrong buying either one, especially if not a gamer...
Amazing video Brian. Thx.
I think I'm still leaning toward the A80K because of Sony's upscaling processing and in this video I actually like its colors more. Just personal taste I guess.
The Samsung is better in colors and brightness but you can barely tell because we are watching it through a video. The Samsung will leave you shocked once you see it in person
Hi. The a80cj vs the a80k? Its more brighter the a80k? And i read a few reviews said about the a80j cames with fails like shut off automatically etc or dont power on after mo.ths of use.. in a80k u experiences a werid behaviour?
Both Re very impressive. I have the S95B and still i was hoping the A80K would be at almost as bright. At 3:26 you can see how much brighter the S95B can get. If the A80K would come as close as the Lg G2, then i will be considering the 77 inch A80K.
Watching this video from my Oled S22U, the A80K needs definitely color calibration, the white balance is a bit off because of blue cast, I think that by reducing Blue color channel it will help reach a better white and will make it even closer to S95b in terms of perceived brightness
Might be me. But I think it reminds me more of my iPhone. S95B looks warmer almost all the time (True Tone set to on) vs Sony looking cooler (True Tone off). Both are good. Just a matter of preference. I tend to keep True Tone off so maybe the A80K is the way to go for me
Brian's Channel ...LOL....hey why not? Its a good change and stands out more for the content.
Damn! That lion on the A80K though…
Thanks Brian. The tv I think with the most natural and realistic look is SOny A80K. Samsung tends to push color fidelity way more than it is in reality.
Sony looks incredible 👊 The introduction price is to high! I go for the 77 inch A80J 2399 euro's
Where are u getting it for 2400, seems very attractive, in Netherlands it is 2800 minimum
Sony A80K takes the trophy in my opinion more realistic looking picture and color
A blue elephant is realistic? 🤣🤣

Thank you so much for comparing both sets in a “out of the box” setting ! I’m going from old plasma to a A80K that’s being delivered on Saturday. I also appreciate your showing SD comparisons as well as HD. I think I made a great choice in the A80K. The guys at Best Buy were amazing ! Answered every question.

Hello Brian, both panels looks fantastic. This year I have to chose one of them in 65 inches. Which one would you buy? pls give me your opinion. Regards from Barcelona city.
You’ve changed your channel’s name .congragulations 🥳👏👏
Thank you so much my friend 🙂🙂
Thanks Brian. Nice video. Please advise which tv upscales 1080p the best as thats what I watch mostly.
Ps I agree with what you said about accuracy.
Sony definitely upscales better. Another reviewer scored the S95B average on upscaling. I just bought an A80J and was watching a movie on Hulu, thought it was 4k, but it actually was just 1080.
@@paulgrochowski3289 Thanks for thefeedback
Thanks for the video. Which is the more accurate and brighter panel. LG G2 or A80K?
Sony for sure
You’ll only notice it side by side though
I bought the Samsung S95B and love it. I have three LG OLEDS from 2016-17. I am in Filmmaker mode playing around with the Optimized/Comfort with Intelligent mode on/off. Tried the game mode but like the darker presets from Filmmaker and yes I went into the bios and got the Cal-Nite and Cal-Day. Love the Cal-Day. I like my images to look natural and color accurate. Love your videos.
Hey Brian, few questions. I have a C9, bought in early 2020, awesome TV but I miss very impressive (HDR) brightness and the S95B seems to be what I need. However I was told that if I really want crazy peak brightness I need QN95a or QN90B. But I would be going from OLED to a tech that apparently STILL has blooming and Shadow detail becoming grey. Is that true or can a OLED owner go for that tech too? Plus how significant is the brightness difference between that and S95B?
Also, Digital Trends says the S95B is a bit of a hassle to setup for console gaming. Often had washed out picture because of how DTM can't be disabled, and this is while the Xbox expects the TV not to interfere when you use the HDR calibrator thing on it. Did you have this too?
I feel like the WRGBs always push too blue even when their white point is dialed in. The S95B has a nice neutral white like an LCD. 13:11 Some may like the A80ks colors more due the temperature but look at the hills on the S95B, its looks like there are way more types of green in the scene that are just missing on the A80k.
Looking forward to QD-OLED improving. I honestly wish Samsung were not the only panel maker though, want a normal RGB pixel arrangement for monitors.
Samsung lifespan on that tv is going to be interesting. No heatsink, punching out those colors and brightness…
Yeah, they always have a greenish/blueish cast. Every single one I've owned or seen. The QD-OLEDs seem to have colors that look more similar to plasma tv colors.
*Why are you not whispering anymore?*
What's going on with top left corner of s95b?
Awesome video, got my sub! One question about the A80K, have you done any temporary image retention tests with it yet? That was the one thing holding me back from getting the A80j. Thanks!
Thank you Clayton and welcome to the community and family. Image retention doesn't seem to be an issue at all on the a80k . It does happen on the a80j sometimes. Hope this helps
@@BRIANSTECHTHERAPY Thank you so much for the reply, that's great news!
My pleasure Clayton !
I have the LG CX (this is my second lg Oled) but want to upgrade in October. I guess I am kind of bias towards LG because they have a lot of great options for gaming ( I have the series x) but I’m hearing a lot about the s95b. What do you think would be best? Lg c2 or s95b? I do mostly gaming on my tv btw. Thanks Brian!
Hi Eric! The LG CX is excellent and the c1 and C2 are subtle improvements but good improvements. The G2 is even better. The S95B QD-OLED is awesome but they keep updating it which is making it look more like a regular oled making it now hard to recommend. I'd stick with LG
This has helped me make my decision. 77” A80K it is for me. :) Thank you Brian..great video comparison as usual.
Thank you for the video Brian. I appreciate that you do not want to disregard or slate a TV. However I do feel that stand on the fence a little to much and it is not always clear which TV you prefer. So out of interest which TV did you prefer out of the 2?
The reason it's tough is two fold. The Samsung is small and unfortunately has been updated into oblivion. The a80k os an excellent panel slightly improving over the a80j. The Samsung is also a gaming monster. For me it's the Samsung if they simply stop needing it.
@@BRIANSTECHTHERAPY thank you for your response Brian. Even though your channel is growing you still make time for your subscribers. Your a really great guy and as I have always said an example of a good youtuber.
My pleasure my friend. I'm trying my best and thank you so much for still being part of the community and family
I just ordered the A80k I'm very excited to see it in my living room. 😁
Congratulations on your purchase! Thank you for watching
I love sharpness and seeing details. LG doesn't givr me that, Samsung is a bit better, but you can't mess with Sony here. Regarding colors, Sony sometimes seems to be too cold (blue) when showing white and Samsung sometimes seems to be too warm (red). I think I will wait another year and hope for a A80L in 77 inch having a second gen QD OLED display... 😎
Thanks for the video show. Both TVs are great out of box. Take care Brian.
My pleasure Craig! Thank you as always!
Really like your videos a lot! Can you say sth. about Sound of the A80K compared to the A80J? (Dunno if I missed it :D)
Looking to dive into the A9 with the TV as center if the sound is worth it this year :)
The A80k has three actuators and has improved sound quality however it's real strength is when it's used in tandem with the HT-A9 or sony soundbar system. Unfortunately I haven't been Able to test it.
@@BRIANSTECHTHERAPY
Thanks a lot - keep up the good work :)
The first and later lions shots says it all. Sony or NADA.
I dont even see much of a much of a difference. the samsung is a pinch brighter but based off this comparison i cant justify paying more for the s95. Except at 8:30 not sure what happened with the samsung picture it dimmed or something. But like you said it depends on the scene your viewing. I cant fit a 55 inch on my living space im probaly gonna wait till black friday and pray the a90k hits 1100$ maybe a 1000$ by a miracle but a 1000$ for the a90k would be a great deal but on some scenes the a80k has more accurate colors which do you prefer? oleds are amazing. But i think qd oled is too pricey right now but next year it’ll go down in price except at 15:23 i dont like that pink on the samsung it makes the colors look innaccurate. Im gonna have to give this to the sony!
Samsung looks better...Sony has a very noticeable Blue tint..even the Elephant was blue
The blue tint is not there in person on the Sony though. It's common for LG woled panels to look blue on camera.
@@444chroma lol..don't blame it on LG..I have the C1..no such problem
The blue tint is not there in person. Lol
It's the camera and how it comes across on youTube.
They both look very good, the Sony seems to be on the cool side and the Samsung leans warm, at least to your camera. Most times they track each other very closely.
Ya with both company’s just getting into OLED it’s all gonna be different for few years
I think people now should holdback from buying the S95B. Considering the updates scaling it back along with the poor design being the reason the S95B is received bent by many consumers, it’s clear Samsung has the S95B as a beta. I believe next year Samsung will have made the corrections regarding the QD-OLED. Sony or LG seem to be the way this year. Even the A90J still holds at $1800 at a 55 inch.
$1800 for a 55 inch tv that was released in 2021 lol hell no
Don't forget the 77" A80J had also the EVO Panel, like all 77" OLEDs.
The Samsung looks a bit more red or is it the camera?
It did but this is the Evo Ex panel which is also on the c2 and g2
@@BRIANSTECHTHERAPY ah Thanks. Only heard that they use EVO.
My pleasure my friend! Thank you for watching
This is what I have waiting for buying one of these, just can’t decide.
This is A80K not A95K :) S95B is the Highest of Samsung TV, but A80J is still weak than A90J from a Master Series
The a80k is excellent Troy! The QD-OLED is more saturated and has more color. The Samsung is also superior in terms of gaming. Thank you for watching
I think Sony A80K provide Natural Colours Good Contrast Brightness & Detailing but, Samsung always provide artificial colour. I love Sony who create Master piece of the Picture Engine. Sony always provide best picture & sound technology. Like XR Trilluminous pro, dolby vision & dolby atmos.
I need help deciding between the Samsung S95B, Sony A80K, & LG C2. Here's a breakdown what I want the most
1. Gaming features
2. Picture quality
3. Great HDR & SDR brightness & color for Movies, TV, & streams
4. Great brightness
5. No issue with local dimming
Did you make a choice yet?
@@GCharlesE I did. The S95B is the best TV for gaming & it's better at everything else than the other two tvs cuz of QD OLED
Now can’t wait till they are both calibrated and do this video again sdr and hdr content !!
I just don’t like the Sony whites looking blue and Samsung white !!! Needs to be fixed and adjusted so after calibration in accurate mode settings I’d like to see then again ! Great video boss look forward to the next !! 💪😎
You'll see that at some point Steven. Thank you for watching
Which tv would be better for sports. Thanks
Hey Brian, I’m having a difficult time deciding on these 3 tvs:
A90j 5500
G2 6500
Z9j 6000
HDR punch is what I love. The room is a mildly lit room.
@@micker9830 I thought the qn900b would be as well but “tech day” has reviewed that and the z9j and said the z9j was better.
@@myclassmate7588 Z sony are the best LED 8K in the market by far
Hello my friend, for HDR impact I go Z9J then G2.
Z9j shits on Samsung qn90b and 900b easily.
A90J all day. The G2 loses too much color trying to push up the peak brightness.
Anyone thinking that the color and accuracy is off on the S95B needs to see Filmmaker mode on Firmware 1211.2. That will completely change this comparison as it’s more accurate than the A80K or A95K (again in Filmmaker mode). Also the S95B is so bright, it looks blown out and etc on camera vs the A80K having a capped nits presentation at or under 1,000 nits in virtually any mode. You can still get the crazy colors on the S95B in other modes, but clearly this is just an OOTB comparison with no Firmware updates and etc.
Both tvs still look great and I personally would add the A80K to my collection in a larger size (as I already have the S95B).
I know S95B from your video. your a90j vs s95b let me know QD-OLED is next level. So S95B=A95K>A90J>A80K.
Hi Brian, any advices why sony 77a80k price cheaper than 75x95k? usually sony OLED price is more expensive than LED 1 level of screen size. (77 inch OLED for 85 inch LED). is there any problem with a80k? and what is you advice : 77a80k or 85x95k? Thanks.
I love your tests, but I'd love to see the side by side in a brightly lit room.
By the way I have asked Robert Zhon the other day, and back then he wasn't sure if the A80K is gonna make it to the Shootout. I sure hope you can convince him to include it, so we can see it's numbers (especially against the A90J)
Thanks Brian. 👍
I'll try an lake that comparison happen for you my friend. The reason the a80k won't be in the shoot out is that the a80k isn't the flagship. The X95K and a95k and Z9k will be there. If they do the 4k oled flagship that would still be the a90j from last year
The 80k seems blue elephants are not blue, the s95b appears pink/reddish. Is this the camera causing it to like this way?
The camera pushes different tones on both . Not that way in person. Thank you for watching
A80K. Greens are greener...blues are bluer...reds are a more richer red...much more natural than the Samsung
My exact same thoughts
You guys are forgetting that we are watching this through a video. In person the Samsung beat the Sony. I had to return my Sony after I compres them.
I’m going to wait for A95K.
That latest firmware update on the samsung really toned down the color pop it had prior to the update
I heard , that's unfortunate in my opinion
Only in filmmaker mode. Movie mode is the same pop as before the update. They took nothing away from the tv they just added more accuracy to its most accurate mode.

@@Z1OMBAL I don't say that the a80k beats the s95B in this video? I actually prefer the S95b if it was larger. The S95b had also taken several updates since that video and first impressions and I'm also weary of their updates again which I mention in this video.
@@BRIANSTECHTHERAPY imo A80k looks better than Samsung. unfortunately the prices in my country are unknown to compare with the A90j (3000 $ converted)
Which is which? So much expertise and the labels are confusing. Is the s95 on the right or left??
do you recommend a80k over the lg c2? Sony's color just looks extra realistic, atleast on youtube.
I thought the Sony looked better in the Vivid v Dynamic mode portion
We have a 77inch a80j, sold the 65inch VIZIO H1 OLED and bought a 75inch SONY X95K to replace it. We will be sadly selling our 2019 LG E9 OLED, our first baby. We may buy a 77inch C2 to replace it because of the amazing prices. Just can't do 65inch anymore.
hey Brian have you heard any rumors that Samsung plans to stop making LED LCD TV's? And only going to do OLED TVs for awhile?
I've heard that but if it's true it will take time.
I just picked up the A80K, but I’m questioning my decision and should I of gotten the S95B. What do you think? Will I be happy with the A80K
For long-term sony is best .next time go with lg .i also bought a80k 65inch .but i am gonna buy lg g3 next year model .a80k is little bit dull
I approve the new name of your or i should say our channel lol, very specific and more mouthful 😂
are any of these good for hockey , cause i have a80 j and for hockey i prefer watching on a qned actually than an oled (qned90) . Trying to decide for 2022 qned85 75 inch vs 65 inch qd oled...wich is the smartest choice for the same money...
Will be interesting a comparation beetween SONY A80K and Panasonic Z1500
In so many of the scenes, there are whole sections of white detail that just don't show up on the s95b. What's the deal with that? Is it because QD-OLED doesn't use a white pixel like oled? Apart from that, the colors to my eye are often over saturated on the Samsung. It still looks great, don't get me wrong, but I feel the Sony with it's better image processing and more natural feeling colors is the better TV, assuming you don't need it to be super bright
just ordered the A80K in 77 inches since it’s on sale!
Awesome! Enjoy and thank you for watching
They both look great, but as you say strikingly different in certain scenes. I am debating the S95 vs a QN90A 75 or a 77 inch A90J or C1….decisions decisions!
Got the C1 best price and features ever.
The Sony A80K is set way too blue, while the Samsung S95B is set too warm. To draw a meaningful conclusion, I would need to have the colors set to more similar, and more realistic, levels.
They are in similar presets with similar color Temps. This is simply the signature of two different manufacturers. They are not calibrated. Thank you for watching
for a better understanding you could put the tv's side by side , because in this set up, with one up another down and behind the other tv is hard to see the differences .
I am looking between a 65" A80K or a 65" S95B , and actually the Sony is better priced in my country right now, without any Black Friday sales yet, it's about 250$ cheaper than the S95B but i don't know what to pick :))
I'm in the same shoes - sort of. I actually purchase the A80k. No issues at all and blown away by the advancements vs my old school Pioneer Kuro Pro101fd. FOMO has me looking at the S95B as a recent price decrease has now brought the panels within about $350. Still deciding whether or not to bother with exchanging it for the S95B...as of now I'm leaning towards just keeping the Sony. I am using the TV mainly for watching movies in a light controlled room, and I had to turn down the brightness on the Sony anyway so I'm not sure I'd be getting much benefit out of the switch here.
Lol why i see a80k more fun and real to watch.
I know you say the a80k is a bit brighter then a80j but i keep reading the a80k has 40 nits less then the a80j? Whats with that?
I went with the 77 a80k though
Will we see a a90k review, gaming and demos?
The Samsung tv seems really over saturated and blown out, the Sony tv looks a lot more natural and soothing to the eyes. My family will be upgrading from an old plasma LG tv, we’ve decided to get the A80K, I can’t wait to see how it looks!
I'd love to see you guys look for different demo disc out there in the market maybe from overseas? I love using the BBC OUR PLANET 4K Series for demoing my tv's when I buy them.
Can I just say that grey exists in the real world. Neutral grey either in the shadows or highlights. That is what gives an image photorealism. The Samsung appears to be unable to deliver a neutral grey. Highlights have a warm yellow tint and shadows have a similar warmth. Elephants are yellow. This warmth might be what you want but I think such colour casts should be used sparingly by the artist, not permanently on everything displayed on the TV. Sony win here. Colour when colour is required. Neutral grey when light purity is an asset. There are also very few 100% blacks in the real world due to bounce light, so I'm not all in on this inky black trend.
You're absolutely wrong. The S95B is producing natural color, while the A80K, and all WOLEDs for that matter, have a dull greenish, blueish tint that pollutes all colors. You can see this in every shot in this video, but also in any other comparison between WOLED and QD-OLED.
Wow, after watching Top Gun Maverick, I didn't think this week couldn't get any better! A80k vs S95b!
EOTF levels all tracking nominal after recent update, HDMI ports all fired up, switching modes to custom! Ready to engage!
great movie mate. only the sountrack is shit. original is more pure and authentic. take my breath away! you watch the movie on tv or on the sony a80k? difficult year to choose. normally i exchange every 2 year my tv. but i think i wait for next year. lg a big step forward next year with micro lens screens.
@@janduller4722 Yeah the soundtrack wasn't as good but the movie looked incredible and the sound was tight since it's one of the real IMAX theaters.
I keep my TVs for 8+ years - still watching on a Sony 3d TV (1080p) from 2014 but I have an OLED laptop facing it so I've done 1,000 video shootouts like the ones Brian has done with my own. Trust me, if the OLED was much better, I would have bought one of these TVs instantly 😀
I will eventually but I'm in no hurry.
I'd like one of those fancy reference monitors and see if both TVs can be calibrated to look as close to reference as possible. In isolation, both TVs will look great, but compared to each other, it's really hard to tell which image is more accurate to real life. Does snow usually look a little blue? or does it look blue because of the direct comparison to the Samsung that looks pinkish? or is the Samsung actually more accurate and just looks pinkish because it's next to the Sony's more blue hue and vice versa. They each have their own color projection and heck if I can tell which is more accurate to real life.
I sort of disagree with updates changing image quality. Yes, for reviewers it sucks, for consumers it might, sometimes, too (makes it harder to research), however for me these updates that change the picture are what turned the TV from something I would not touch into something I might actually buy. Now if they added DV and gave us a way to completely defeat their optimization algorithms... (i.e. if I turn it off, it should be OFF and not sort of on... if I wanted it to be sort of on, I would select that setting!).
Now I do think that Samsung should give users the option to keep the old presets if they like it. So there could be a Filmmaker enhanced or Filmmaker plus that is essentially the old Filmmaker mode, before it was accurate.
I'm looking forward to the A95K... maybe it's a S95B done right. Not a fan of the price tag though. I wish there was a cheaper variant that just did without any speakers (well, any that cost more than a few cents) or smart TV functionality, as those things I don't care about at all.
Also, I kind of like that Samsung messed up so bad in the beginning, cause that's causing the price to drop harder than it should (IMHO IF you are willing to spend this much on a TV, then you're probably a bit of a purist. As such, the S95B was junk in the beginning.) Now that it is fixed and people are finding out I am afraid the price will go up again... not sure if I should just pick one up now, or not. I feel like people are holding out to see how the A95K will perform... if it is significantly better, then the S95B will drop in price, if the increase is just slight or it's even worse, then the S95B will become hot. I'm in the same camp... S95B or A95K... or just stick with the old plasma, cause it is still very, very hard to beat (LG OLED panels can't).
