Got the A95L on your recommendation. It's absolutely stunning and insanely bright. I'm rewatching older content as it seems to do magic to them. I'm truly impressed..
This is a great recommendation. If you basically open your tv from morning to night, watching news, play games, watch movies, and simply leave it on for background noise, qleds are a good choice. And the recent ones are so good, you only miss out on the infinite contrast which is not a big deal to most.
I have an A80J and it is without a doubt an incredible, incredibly TV. Aside from the obvious OLED goodness, I cannot overstate how good Sony's upscaling is, you can still buy/watch 1080p content and it's nearly just as stunning as native 4k content.
I seriously have to watch every videos Caleb makes. He is so precise and makes shopping for a tv so easy. I trust everything he says. Another awesome year and can’t wait for the next years tvs to come out for you to review.
I bought a G3 77" two months ago (got lucky with a price match) and very happy with it. WOW it looks great. I have it mounted using the built in bracket which looks AMAZING! I wish it was the 83", but wanted the brighter MLA panel. The only thing that I think is ridiculous, for a top tier OLED the remote is fine, I got used to it and now like the feel, but, it should light up. My bedroom TV Sony A90L remote lights up, (best TV remote on the planet) the G3 should light up the same way, by movement.
@@sameerkhatri588 I don't like neither tizen nor webOS, android/Google TV is the best for my use... Also I don't game that much so I don't need all those gaming features...
I got the g3 and upgrated my c2. Wow huge difference and I just cant get over how good it looks. The only knock is the remote. For this much money the remote should be alot nicer.
Picked up a 75' Sony X90L and love it. I could have spent much more but for my gaming needs and sports watching it seems to be great! 4k content looks incredible! I simply cannot believe it.
I got the Sony a75L coming this Monday, 200 less dollars then the a80L which has the same panel, it’s just missing the onboard microphone on the tv itself, the remote still has one, and a third speaker in the center of the tv, that’s it, it just came out a month a go and has really gone under the radar, even better value than than the c3 with superior upscaling technology
I just got the 55 A80L and am loving it! You are right, the A75L has just a couple of minor differences. The picture and processing are the same! You bought a great TV!
Got my first real serious tv this year with the Sony A80K and it’s simply mind blowing. Never thought the impact of a proper tv would have on the living room, including movie watching and gaming wise, simply incredible. Would be the main tv in the house for the next three years at the very least.
I miss my a80k with Sony sound system setup 😢 I’m deployed rn but when I get back I have a lot of movies and games I wanna play on it. Especially spider man 2. Next year can’t come soon enough
Great info. 🙂 If I was buying today, I would choose the Sony X90L. My current TV is an LG E8 OLED from 2018, and a best friend of mine has the Sony X900, which is the predecessor to the X90. Honestly, I like the X900 just as much or more than the E8. So, based on my limited sample set, the X90L is a really great choice as far as an excellent looking TV for a decent price to size.
Great list, Caleb! I'm looking forward to that Sony A95L vs. other OLEDs video. Also, this video just showed why I'm buying a Sony BRAVIA TV soon: The XR Processor.
You make great videos and helped me decide on getting the 77" S90C. I would however like it if you ditched the static logo at the bottom of your videos, I don't want to risk burn in on the new TV. Lol.
Thanks for another great year of work Caleb! You really make geeking out over A/V tech entertaining... Looking forward to seeing you in 2024! I guess for everyone else, you have to ask yourself: "What makes a TV the best?" you have got to factor in everything. No doubt LG, Samsung and Sony make great products and share technology amongst themselves. I really feel like Sony puts it all together the best. The sound puts Sony over the top for me. A95K is my weapon of choice 😂
I own an 77" LG OLED C1 purchased back in 2021. Recently, I was debating soooo hard between the 75" LG QNED85 mini led or the LG OLED C3. I ended up buying the C3 and i only paid $2,250 total... the G3 would have been nice but for another $1,000 more, its just too much.
He is saying that OLED TV’s are not good for long time using? I’m a gamer and I like watching tv most of the time. It’s means my tv is always on all the time. So what should I get then?
OH, man! I turn on CNBC when I wake up in the morning and it's on my tv until after the stock market closes with the tickers running across the bottom the entire time. I was going to buy an OLED now I don't know what to get now. THANK YOU FOR THAT INFO!
OLED is not only good for enthusiasts. It’s good for people who want the greatest image possible and don’t care too much about crazy brightness. Although even a base OLED like my LG A2 65” still gets very bright with HDR content even in a well lit room. They are also the best TV’s for gaming as they have the lowest input latency and fastest pixel response. I recently just picked up an LG B2 55” from Amazon for only $858 and the picture quality is beyond anything you’re going to get from any QLED TV.
I couldn't pass up the S90C 77" AAA discounted $2000 deal (plus free 2 year warranty, $350 value, plus various cashback). Swapped my 85 QN90A in my bedroom for it. Such an insane value for any 77" oled nevertheless a gen 2 samsung QDOLED panel.
Just bought the Samsung QN90C to replace my older Samsung. I wanted a tv that was better for gaming. It's amazing how much better the picture looks while watching movies and streaming. And I bought a new sound bar the Samsung HW-S60B 5.0 ch awesome sound bar!
Bought a LG G3 after only owning Sony's for the past 15 years. Best choice I ever made!! LG G3 is way cheaper than Sony and the performance is amazing!
I just ordered an X95L. It was a hard choice between that and the QN90C. We have a living room full of large windows with lots of glare, and I think(not sure) that Samsung's anti glare is better. I still went with the Sony based on the great reviews. I hope I made the right decision. We use the TV for watching the NBA on youtube tv, streaming on Netflix and Max, and gaming. We also have the TV on for long periods of time while we aren't watching so that's why we didn't go the OLED route.
I did order 77” Philips 908 because of ambilight and cheaper than G3 price and a tabletop stand! Using same mla panel and looking reviews it is close enough G3 and Panasonic that it did make sense. Mostly for european customers though. And when best/most deep reviews were in France and Germany… i was really happy that automatic translators are really good now a days! 😂
I bought a Samsung au7000 works good great picture and all that 65 inch TCL, I had a 55 inch lasted three years and the screen went bad no audio either it just stopped
Whats amazing about the Hisense is that it has an IMAX Enhanced mode. Some TCL’s and Sony Bravia’s also have it. Downside of an hisense: it lacks apps and has no HBO Max app. Insane.
During Covid I needed a new big screen. Visited Best Buy and they were rotating the displays for the new model year. The walls were just covered with zip, zilch. Stock had yet to arrive. After digging into available stock off site I found a 75" Sony Z8H for $3,700.99. Now, four years later, this TV is still new to me. Did not plan on 8K. It was still up and working. The picture and price did it.
Thanks for all of these suggestions. I have had the OLED B7 from LG that came out in 2017. Just sold that TV and am again in the market for a new TV since I am moving. I feel like, for the price, that LG OLED C3 65in might be the best bang for the buck.
Why describe a TV that doesn’t arrive until late in 2023 a “2023 model”? The manufacturer should describe it as a “2024 model” like automobile manufacturers do. Also, is there a technical reason that Sony’s X95L is only available in 85-in TVs?
I've finally decided on going with a Sony. I had my mind set on a 75" X90L but a friend suggested I drop down in size to a 65" and go for the A80L. Quality over quantity? Thoughts?
Had bought a 65” A80L for 1699 Black Friday took it back and got a 55” A95l 2499 I needed that extra brightness & the quality difference were Noticeable to me
G4 is not as much improvement in brightness as the G3 was, better processing but probably still inferior to Sony, plus the G4 LOSES ATSC 3.0 down to ATSC 1.0 if you care about over the air 4k
Thanks for some great reviews & info over the year. I presently have a Sony 55”A1 4K OLED TV bought in 2016 and I am thinking about getting around to updating it to a 65” A95L. But your Japan report gave me pause for thought as to whether I should hold off for a year or so for whatever Sony “has in the works” (to quote you). The A1 is still a very nice piece of tech, but due to the poor reception in overbuilt downtown Melbourne, I mainly use it with my (newest version) 4K Apple TV device. So it’s not like I have to move urgently. Whatever I do get will mainly be used for streaming as free to air reception here is not going to improve in the foreseeable future and high speed optical cable is available. So what do you advise? Make the jump to the A95L now or hang back to wait and see what’s in the pipeline? Cheers Jim
Hey Caleb, thanks for your great video yet again. I have a question tho after your recent video regarding your trip to Tokyo Sony headquarter. You’ve mentioned that Sony might have a “game changer” in the coming year. Does that create any conflict in buying A95L now? Much appreciated!!
This video was amazingly helpful and had perfect timing! I'm looking for strictly 55" TVs and couldn't find the Sony X95L in that size. Do you have 55 inch recommendations for premium Sony TVs? It won't be used for gaming, but it is going to sit in a very bright room so I'm looking for QLEDs. Thanks!!!
Got just a Samsung S95C to replace my 6 year old Q7F QLED, now the prices have dropped significantly. TV IS distinctly better (nothing wrong with the old TV, just time for a change), but two things stand out : The blacks 😂. It's 65" rather than 55" - bigger is better, or so I'm told 😂. Happy with the upgrade, and I got a 'free' decent soundbar and 6 months of Disney+.
Hey there, i had the Q7f too, at 65 inch. Now i got myself the neo qled 85c at 75 inch. Must say the q7f was a very good tv. No problems whatsoever at that being an edge lit.
@@mr_movieguru The Q7F was a good TV. Like the S95C, particularly the larger size 😂, only thing disappointing is the small remote, it's like a child's toy compared to the previous premium remote.
Hi there Caleb, thanks for making these videos. Helped clarify a lot of doubts regarding which TV to get. I ended up getting the A80L 77" from Best Buy and absolutely love the picture quality of any content I watch these days - including really old anime which looks terrible on my MacBook Air. Sonys image processing is definitely next level and meets all my needs. Now I am in the market for a home theater system, just saw your video of Nakamichi Dragon vs Sono Arc. Most likely going for the Arc set up as you recommended! Thanks again!
Excellent compilation of the best TVs this year! So thoughtful, thorough, and yet fun! Great job! Oh, and Happy Thanksgiving, if you are looking at comments!!🥰🎉❤️
Your QN90C recommendation is misleading. The 43" and 50" versions have a VA panel rather than an ABS panel (65" and up). I read numerous reviews that indicate the VA panel has horrible viewing angles. Samsung seems to hide this fact with a small asterisk note on their site that "fine print" informs the consumer that the ultrawide viewing angle is not available on the smaller models.
I'm torn between buying an OLED 83-inch A80L or a QLED X95. The money difference is 800 dollars (OLED being the more expensive) but the OLED is second top of the line while the QLED is the top of the line. Can someone please recommend which one I should go for?
Watching Star Wars from the early 2000s on my Sony X90L the picture is very comparable to modern movies the XR processor in the Sony really is incredible
*I am in love with my TCL Q7 I just got. at 55inch , it blows away the U8K , which had horrible veiwing angle with washed out sided even when directly in front of it, and horrible VRR bugs/crashes.*
So Sony x90l in 75 inch is a $100 more at Best Buy than qm8 75 and $200 more than u8k 75. What should I do? Are Hisense and tcl really OLED like or is Sonys processing still better than black levels of mini LEDs?
Thats a LOT of choices. As in most things, comes down to how much you want to spend but is nice to see the different options available. Probably the Sony A80L for me, but that Samsung Frame TV is cool though.
This year I bought a 65 in LG CS which was amazing value at €1200. I also bought a Samsung S95B for €2000. The Samsung QDOLED is a big upgrade to traditional oled, but the Tizen UI is so laggy that it really takes from the tv. Picture quality is fantastic, but Samsung really need to fix Tizen.
Already bought 65U6K (regret not buying the U7K) for basement. 77A95L for living room. Still need a bedroom TV and thinking of the 65 QM8 since I have a Hisense Already
Loving my Samsung S90C 77”. 30% AAA discount plus 10% web code brought it down to $1800. With tax it was just under $2k. I of course wanted the Sony, but $5k was out of my price range.
I too wanted the 77a95l BAD. But I can't justify double the price. Very happy so far with my 77S90C, first OLED and a huge upgrade from my 2018 Vizio P Series.
Random question, where can i find a webcode for an additional 10% off? I have AAA as well so if i can do both of those discounts, thatd be a insane amount of savings
@@LeezahBI watched the A95L and A80L side by side in the store. While there is a difference, it’s not significant enough to justify the price difference.
@@wolfsonryan Ryan exactly!! At my Best Buy, the A80L was right above the A95L, and while the difference was a little noticeable, it was not night and day. At home it just looks fabulous. The XR Clear Image and other processing improvements just make the picture so sharp and clear with amazing colors plus it’s really pretty bright! Between the A95K in the den and the A80L up in the bedroom, I have two great TVs!
How come I agree with you that TV A looks better than TV B even though I am viewing both on a 1080p TV? Should they not both look the same to me? And if they do look the same is it not pointless you and others showing them? Or are we all fooled by what we are told and see?
I picked up the U75k from Costco on the strength of a few reviews with your review being the one to push me over the edge. But I have to admit I'm not impressed with the SDR nor 1080 content displayed on this. This is replacing a 50" Pioneer Elite plasma and the image isn't as sharp. I currently have two LG Oleds and had the plasma. I knew going in that it wouldn't measure up to the Oleds but I didn't think the gap would be as wide as it is from the way reviewers are raving about this. And I get with the plasma being native 1080p with this stepping down to 1080 I may take some hit but this is pretty big. How do I get this thing to perform better with 1080 sources and yet have the good 4K performance when needed. Also noticed I need to drop the black level out the box with this set. Any help would be appreciated.
TCL and Hisense have not been around long in the tv business to invest in a big screen . Sure the price maybe cheaper, but it's cheaper for a reason the old rule of thumb is you get what you pay for. OLED have burn in issues , did my research and just purchased QN85 Samsung.
Trying to decide between the U8k and x90l. The x90 would probably be my choice if I was using it as an all use tv but this will be strictly for gaming purposes.
I've never liked the smart TV interfaces and have always used my Apple TV. Is an OLED good for this use case and how about sports on OLED? I don't run a TV all Day, but may run it for a couple of games back to back, say 6 to 8 hours. Is that a problem with OLED? Thank you Caleb and Digital Trends. I honestly just deep dived TVs and components for the last three hours. AMAZING information and detail, thank you, thank you, thank you!
LG G3 OLED vs Sony A80L OLED 83 INCH MODELS. I can't decide on which TV to purchase. I am putting this in my living room that has 20 ft ceilings and only windows that are up about 15-17ft high. The room is brighter in the day but the sunlight never hits the wall where we plan to mount the TV. We as a family only watch TV at night (streaming) and very minimal gaming. We stream and watch movies with the Sonos Arc, Eras 300's and Sonos Sub Gen2. Which model is best in your professional opinion and why ? I feel like I'm splitting hairs on this decision but the only difference for us is that the G3 (83" does not include the MLA technology) is brighter than the Sony A80L. Appreciate the help.
Hi. I’m planning on buying an OLED (LG G2 97”), and wanted some advice. We use the TV for 8-10 hours a day, with multiple people in the house. Channels with the fixed info bars like CNN and ESPN are watched very very little though. What is watched is a combination of cable channels with a fixed channel logo and streaming services without any logo. Would OLED be fine for this usage?
Got the A95L on your recommendation. It's absolutely stunning and insanely bright. I'm rewatching older content as it seems to do magic to them. I'm truly impressed..
I'm really hesitating with the X95L. You got an HDMI splitter I assume?

I bought a Samsung au7000 works good great picture and all that 65 inch TCL, I had a 55 inch lasted three years and the screen went bad no audio either it just stopped
Just purchased my first OLED last night, 77” C3
Haven't purchased a tv since 2007 and that thing died long ago. Been binging the channel and can safely say you've helped me pick my tv.
I’m still rocking my LG GX and I’ve loved it for 3 years!
Whats amazing about the Hisense is that it has an IMAX Enhanced mode. Some TCL’s and Sony Bravia’s also have it.
Downside of an hisense: it lacks apps and has no HBO Max app. Insane.
I picked up a 65" C2 at the beginning of the year and I could not be happier.
The 65inch QM8 is on the way to my house right now. ($899)
Got the A95L in October 2023. It's been around 2 months, I've never seen anything so stunning
During Covid I needed a new big screen. Visited Best Buy and they were rotating the displays for the new model year. The walls were just covered with zip, zilch. Stock had yet to arrive. After digging into available stock off site I found a 75" Sony Z8H for $3,700.99. Now, four years later, this TV is still new to me. Did not plan on 8K. It was still up and working. The picture and price did it.
“It doesn’t just deliver the wow but the whoah.” That there is the best line ever uttered in a product review video.
lol!
Thanks for all of these suggestions. I have had the OLED B7 from LG that came out in 2017. Just sold that TV and am again in the market for a new TV since I am moving. I feel like, for the price, that LG OLED C3 65in might be the best bang for the buck.
Why describe a TV that doesn’t arrive until late in 2023 a “2023 model”? The manufacturer should describe it as a “2024 model” like automobile manufacturers do. Also, is there a technical reason that Sony’s X95L is only available in 85-in TVs?
I've finally decided on going with a Sony. I had my mind set on a 75" X90L but a friend suggested I drop down in size to a 65" and go for the A80L. Quality over quantity? Thoughts?
Had bought a 65” A80L for 1699 Black Friday took it back and got a 55” A95l 2499 I needed that extra brightness & the quality difference were Noticeable to me
Thanks for all you do. Do I get the G3 or wait for the G4?
G4 is not as much improvement in brightness as the G3 was, better processing but probably still inferior to Sony, plus the G4 LOSES ATSC 3.0 down to ATSC 1.0 if you care about over the air 4k
Thank you!
Which is batter LG C3 or Samsung S90C?
I just bought a QN90C. Having problems with tv volume fluctuations on its own . Any suggestions on how to eliminate that problem ?
I was wondering what would be a better choice TV for a darker room, either LG C3 oled, Sony A80L oled, or Samsung S90C oled?
Thanks for some great reviews & info over the year.
I presently have a Sony 55”A1 4K OLED TV bought in 2016 and I am thinking about getting around to updating it to a 65” A95L. But your Japan report gave me pause for thought as to whether I should hold off for a year or so for whatever Sony “has in the works” (to quote you). The A1 is still a very nice piece of tech, but due to the poor reception in overbuilt downtown Melbourne, I mainly use it with my (newest version) 4K Apple TV device. So it’s not like I have to move urgently. Whatever I do get will mainly be used for streaming as free to air reception here is not going to improve in the foreseeable future and high speed optical cable is available.
So what do you advise? Make the jump to the A95L now or hang back to wait and see what’s in the pipeline?
Cheers Jim
This was probably the most understandable and well stated videos I have watched in a long time. Cudo’s and thank you!
Hey Caleb, thanks for your great video yet again.
I have a question tho after your recent video regarding your trip to Tokyo Sony headquarter.
You’ve mentioned that Sony might have a “game changer” in the coming year.
Does that create any conflict in buying A95L now?
Much appreciated!!
@fullhd5277 Yeah, I realized that he said that in this video, hence I was wondering if that "game-changing" feature would be TV related. Thank you
@fullhd5277 Ah I see, I missed that part. Thank you for the info
This video was amazingly helpful and had perfect timing! I'm looking for strictly 55" TVs and couldn't find the Sony X95L in that size. Do you have 55 inch recommendations for premium Sony TVs? It won't be used for gaming, but it is going to sit in a very bright room so I'm looking for QLEDs. Thanks!!!
I'm about to buy the Sony X93L. Which made your "best of" list in 2022, when it was called the X95K!
Just bought a Sony 65” A90J OLED for Black Friday, and it is amazing 🔥🔥 Got it from Walmart for a crazy price! 🤯
Got just a Samsung S95C to replace my 6 year old Q7F QLED, now the prices have dropped significantly.
TV IS distinctly better (nothing wrong with the old TV, just time for a change), but two things stand out :
The blacks 😂.
It's 65" rather than 55" - bigger is better, or so I'm told 😂.
Happy with the upgrade, and I got a 'free' decent soundbar and 6 months of Disney+.
Hey there, i had the Q7f too, at 65 inch. Now i got myself the neo qled 85c at 75 inch. Must say the q7f was a very good tv. No problems whatsoever at that being an edge lit.
@@mr_movieguru The Q7F was a good TV.
Like the S95C, particularly the larger size 😂, only thing disappointing is the small remote, it's like a child's toy compared to the previous premium remote.
@@louishiggins8881 size winssss 😂🤝 and i agree with the small remotes. Too small.
Hi there Caleb, thanks for making these videos. Helped clarify a lot of doubts regarding which TV to get. I ended up getting the A80L 77" from Best Buy and absolutely love the picture quality of any content I watch these days - including really old anime which looks terrible on my MacBook Air. Sonys image processing is definitely next level and meets all my needs. Now I am in the market for a home theater system, just saw your video of Nakamichi Dragon vs Sono Arc. Most likely going for the Arc set up as you recommended! Thanks again!
I got me the 65 LG-G3 and is amazing
Excellent compilation of the best TVs this year! So thoughtful, thorough, and yet fun! Great job! Oh, and Happy Thanksgiving, if you are looking at comments!!🥰🎉❤️
I like watching your show I upgraded from a 2016 Vizio 55 in to the Samsung S9oc and yeah it was a big change
Your QN90C recommendation is misleading. The 43" and 50" versions have a VA panel rather than an ABS panel (65" and up). I read numerous reviews that indicate the VA panel has horrible viewing angles. Samsung seems to hide this fact with a small asterisk note on their site that "fine print" informs the consumer that the ultrawide viewing angle is not available on the smaller models.
I got the qn90c and i think it's great.
It can go so bright that it hurts my eyes to look at it.
I'm torn between buying an OLED 83-inch A80L or a QLED X95. The money difference is 800 dollars (OLED being the more expensive) but the OLED is second top of the line while the QLED is the top of the line. Can someone please recommend which one I should go for?
LG G3 was my choice. I watch movies occasionally, and play some games from time to time. But when I saw G3 stand I was stunned by the picture quality.
Watching Star Wars from the early 2000s on my Sony X90L the picture is very comparable to modern movies the XR processor in the Sony really is incredible
I still have my Samsung F8500 as my main TV. As a movie watcher, unless you have a projector, you can't beat that plasma motion.
*I am in love with my TCL Q7 I just got. at 55inch , it blows away the U8K , which had horrible veiwing angle with washed out sided even when directly in front of it, and horrible VRR bugs/crashes.*
So Sony x90l in 75 inch is a $100 more at Best Buy than qm8 75 and $200 more than u8k 75. What should I do? Are Hisense and tcl really OLED like or is Sonys processing still better than black levels of mini LEDs?
Sony X93L. You don’t mention it. It’s cheaper than the 95 and very close in performance. It should have had a mention.
And the x93l is available in several sizes.
Caleb you failed to mention that the x95l ONLY comes in 85 inches making it a nonstarter for most people.
@@downtowngary6646that’s a huge point for almost everyone. thanks.
Thats a LOT of choices. As in most things, comes down to how much you want to spend but is nice to see the different options available. Probably the Sony A80L for me, but that Samsung Frame TV is cool though.
Thanks for info and for this videos wich you made! I learn a lot from you! Thank you👏🙏
Watching this review on my S95C 65inch beast
Why are you watching a review for a TV which you already own
@@gnarkilleptic4871 because I can
Hello Caleb , when are you going to review the Samsung S90c?
This year I bought a 65 in LG CS which was amazing value at €1200. I also bought a Samsung S95B for €2000. The Samsung QDOLED is a big upgrade to traditional oled, but the Tizen UI is so laggy that it really takes from the tv. Picture quality is fantastic, but Samsung really need to fix Tizen.
Already bought 65U6K (regret not buying the U7K) for basement.
77A95L for living room. Still need a bedroom TV and thinking of the 65 QM8 since I have a Hisense Already
Loving my Samsung S90C 77”. 30% AAA discount plus 10% web code brought it down to $1800. With tax it was just under $2k. I of course wanted the Sony, but $5k was out of my price range.
W
I too wanted the 77a95l BAD. But I can't justify double the price. Very happy so far with my 77S90C, first OLED and a huge upgrade from my 2018 Vizio P Series.
I brought the 83 inch S90C today with work discount. Haven't opened it yet but excited to open it soon. The price was definitely better than expected.
Random question, where can i find a webcode for an additional 10% off? I have AAA as well so if i can do both of those discounts, thatd be a insane amount of savings
@@deannamarino6001 83 USES WOLED PANEL AND NOT QDOLED
Got the A80L! Can’t wait!
Awesome TV!
@@LeezahBI watched the A95L and A80L side by side in the store. While there is a difference, it’s not significant enough to justify the price difference.
@@wolfsonryan Ryan exactly!! At my Best Buy, the A80L was right above the A95L, and while the difference was a little noticeable, it was not night and day. At home it just looks fabulous. The XR Clear Image and other processing improvements just make the picture so sharp and clear with amazing colors plus it’s really pretty bright! Between the A95K in the den and the A80L up in the bedroom, I have two great TVs!
@@LeezahBthat’s wonderful. I can’t wait. Delivery is on 12/3!
@@wolfsonryan let me know what you think!
How come I agree with you that TV A looks better than TV B even though I am viewing both on a 1080p TV? Should they not both look the same to me? And if they do look the same is it not pointless you and others showing them? Or are we all fooled by what we are told and see?
I picked up the U75k from Costco on the strength of a few reviews with your review being the one to push me over the edge. But I have to admit I'm not impressed with the SDR nor 1080 content displayed on this. This is replacing a 50" Pioneer Elite plasma and the image isn't as sharp. I currently have two LG Oleds and had the plasma. I knew going in that it wouldn't measure up to the Oleds but I didn't think the gap would be as wide as it is from the way reviewers are raving about this. And I get with the plasma being native 1080p with this stepping down to 1080 I may take some hit but this is pretty big. How do I get this thing to perform better with 1080 sources and yet have the good 4K performance when needed. Also noticed I need to drop the black level out the box with this set. Any help would be appreciated.
TCL and Hisense have not been around long in the tv business to invest in a big screen . Sure the price maybe cheaper, but it's cheaper for a reason the old rule of thumb is you get what you pay for. OLED have burn in issues , did my research and just purchased QN85 Samsung.
Trying to decide between the U8k and x90l. The x90 would probably be my choice if I was using it as an all use tv but this will be strictly for gaming purposes.
I've never liked the smart TV interfaces and have always used my Apple TV. Is an OLED good for this use case and how about sports on OLED? I don't run a TV all Day, but may run it for a couple of games back to back, say 6 to 8 hours. Is that a problem with OLED?
Thank you Caleb and Digital Trends. I honestly just deep dived TVs and components for the last three hours. AMAZING information and detail, thank you, thank you, thank you!
Got a 43” frame for 300$ at Costco with the wall mount because it was an online return. It’s remarkable. But I need a big 65” for my living room
I have a new Hisense and I have not seen such a quality picture on any other TV
LG G3 OLED vs Sony A80L OLED 83 INCH MODELS.
I can't decide on which TV to purchase. I am putting this in my living room that has 20 ft ceilings and only windows that are up about 15-17ft high. The room is brighter in the day but the sunlight never hits the wall where we plan to mount the TV. We as a family only watch TV at night (streaming) and very minimal gaming. We stream and watch movies with the Sonos Arc, Eras 300's and Sonos Sub Gen2. Which model is best in your professional opinion and why ? I feel like I'm splitting hairs on this decision but the only difference for us is that the G3 (83" does not include the MLA technology) is brighter than the Sony A80L. Appreciate the help.
Hi. I’m planning on buying an OLED (LG G2 97”), and wanted some advice.
We use the TV for 8-10 hours a day, with multiple people in the house. Channels with the fixed info bars like CNN and ESPN are watched very very little though. What is watched is a combination of cable channels with a fixed channel logo and streaming services without any logo. Would OLED be fine for this usage?
Caleb I stayed with you the whole video and you threw a lot at us.
65 inch
Between TCL UM8
LG C3
Sony A80L
Samsung x90c
Which one do you pick sir?
