All, please let me know if you feel recording in HDR is helping you perceive what I'm talking about. I want to help everyone out as much as possible to understand what the different settings too. SDR just doesn't quite capture it in my opinion. This takes a lot longer to render, but I think it's worth it! Also, any background hiss you hear will be fixed next video... I run a small fan on my Sony A7IV so I can run 10 bit 4k video. It causes the camera to heat up a lot. This fan negates the overheating and allows me to record for an extremely long time
Thanks for sharing your preliminary comments about the Bravia 9. It was fun discovering it together at MWave and really pleased that you pulled the trigger on the big 85". It was certainly impressive seeing it in person and can only imagine how much better it appears with the 85" over the 65"that was featured at MWave. Cheers!
@@joedecordoba2894 hey Joe! Great to see you on here. I hope all has been well 😁 for sure the 85 inch feels like a nice step up on the 65. But man that 65 still was excellent. No matter what size you get this TV is a fantastic product
hey Spencer it's great to see you got that TV you wanted. 65 to 85 is a massive jump you will enjoy going back to your favorites and also seeing new content with more immersion
Thank you! It really is a huge jump. My govees have done well sorta filling that "light gap" I've had but this feels so much more substantial of an upgrade. Gaming so far has been great on it as well. I appreciate your comment 😁
Great video, sir! I swapped my Hisense U8N for a Bravia 7 and it's sooo much better. The fine details, better motion and Sony refinement are so good. I cant imagine what a Bravia 9 is like. Better than mh LG G4 I bet.
@@dis6900 Hisense is damn good for the price but the processing just isn't there. I would say the Bravia 7 is 85 to 90% of the Bravia 9 picture quality. You have a sensational tv. And it's tough, I really do hate comparing oleds and mini LEDs because they're both incredible technologies for very different things
I got to Play a lot with the B7 and B9 I went through all the settings and tryed different inputs with different content and the same content on both and honestly I could not see the differences between them at all 😊
@@bungalowtomcat1 I tell people the b7 is about 85 to 90% of the Bravia 9's picture quality. The difference is the ultra bright segments in HDR content and games where the Bravia 9 shines through. The Bravia 7 also doesn't have x wide angle so you'll have more fall off at a shallower angle. The Bravia 7 is a great TV for the money.

@@bungalowtomcat1 how much did you get to play with the actual tv settings? For me, the Bravia 9 and Bravia 7 shine best when you can crank them to their peaks. As I said in my original comment, you can get about 85 to 90% of the Bravia 9 picture from the Bravia 7. They share the same processor. The biggest difference will be the x wide angle being absent, blooming control should be better, especially in a dark room, and the brightest brights will definitely favor the Bravia 9. The native contrast of the Bravia 9 is also higher than the b7. That being said, the Bravia 7 is still a phenomenal TV for the price of it. If you mess with the settings of any TVs you can really get a quality image. You're comparing the highest end Sony to a high end Sony tv... So both TVs will be incredible haha
@@DerekJamesMandy that is artifacting from the motion interpolation. I have everything set to high since I like motion flow. Motion artifacts become more obvious on larger tvs.
@ thank you for the response. It seems like it’s almost impossible to avoid this issue on modern TVs. If it’s not that it’s stutter/judder. I found the S95D to have it no matter the setting. The tv could be smooth but it didn’t like motion around people’s heads. I’m currently using a G4 55” as it seems to handle these obstacles better but I just came from a much older Sony X900e and haven’t been able to capture its clarity or colours. I debated on upsizing to a 65” G4 but placed an order for the Bravia 9 over the A95L. I have a very bright space. 17th floor, corner unit facing all the mid day and late afternoon sun, the blinds I have don’t cut all the light out and the X900E was impossible to watch during the day if there was a dark scene. The S95D did well but did have a lot of diffused light, the G4 has faired well but I’d have ordered a 65” Bravia 9 as between that and a G4 seem to be the best all arounders depending on your setting. I like that I won’t have to worry about burn in… I hope I made the right choice as the return window for the LG G4 is closing quick.
@@DerekJamesMandy when I had my hands on the 65 inch Bravia 9, I didn't notice any motion issues personally. To be fair there aren't many on the Bravia 9, but I'm also used to them. The video I played was at 30fps so the artifacting becomes more obvious. I'm sure the Bravia 9 will do well for you. Keep me updated on how you like it when it comes in!
@@Bklynblaze1 not at all. You can always scale back the brightness to what is comfortable for you. You have a ton of headroom to work with on this tv, so if you ever want to crank it, you can. If you want the deepest blacks and contrast you'll want an OLED, but if you aren't a brightness person, this tv scaled back should provide you as good of black levels
@@bungalowtomcat1 I haven't gotten much hands on time with the b7 except at best buy. From what I can tell, youre getting about 80 to 90% of the picture quality of the Bravia 9 on the Bravia 7. On the Bravia 9 you're definitely paying for that extra 10 to 15%. From what I could tell, off angle viewing was a little better on the b9. I felt the contrast was also better. Brightness was comparable. The Bravia 9 shined more on much higher nit content. I didn't get to game on the 7 though. Anyone who buys the Bravia 7 is getting what I equate the x930e or 940e to when the z9d came out years ago
I have the Bravia 9 85" for the basement and I have three LG oleds upstairs . The Bravia 9 is about 90% to the contrast and blacks that the oled can do . Which is really good , but blows everything out the water IMO for brighter scenes . I didn't think I would be happy with a Mini LED, and I do a lot of no light movie watching . The backlight system does a great job with blooming .. very nice tv
@@alvidrez7956 exactly what I've been saying. The brightness adds a new dimension to HDR which oleds just don't have. I love how flexible of an image you can have as well with the tv. It's great to see mini led continue to take steps in improving like it has. Blooming is almost non existent on this tv
@ I watched a movie at night in hdr and there was a fire scene . The brightness was so intense that the light coming off my face almost felt like I was watching a real fire . Not a heat sensation but the mind was tricked into thinking i was by a campfire . It was weird .
@alvidrez7956 Dolby actually talked about this phenomenon happening with 10k nits content. I was watching a RUclips video with a forest and my nose actually smelled the forest.. I was like... Whoa this is powerful. We are getting to the point where brightness with purpose is becoming a thing and I'm all in for it 😁

@@jaisharma6849 I did not have a professional calibration done on my tv. I don't really care to have my tvs look that way. But yes I'll post my personal settings in an upcoming video 😁
Thank you for a great video and your enthusiasm; good to see someone this happy about their purchase. I just ordered 77” A95L but Bravia 9 in 75” would save me $1300. Love the oled contrast, that crisp image, but also the versatility of Bravia 9. Another reason for oled is that my chair is at about 30 degree angle 10’ away from the tv, so in your honest opinion, would there be a big loss in colour and more blooming, or is it a lot more evident at higher angles, and would you say the contrast gets to be 80-90% of OLED, or is it a lot more noticeable. I don’t play video games, just movies, regular tv shows and sports. Much appreciate any input.
@@partizanbgd0113 hi! Thanks for the comment 😁 I have stood off angle at about 30 degrees and don't notice a raise in blooming or a dropoff in color personally.

What you gain in brightness more than makes up for it in my eyes. I was noticeably more immersed in the content. Also, I was watching the Michigan basketball game and some of the NFL games today and the motion is clean and smooth. In sdr the colors are vibrant and lifelike.

Was gonna ask you about your motion opinions, but you mentioned you are an SOE guy, and I am not, so your experience is probably buttery smooth and I'm not sure you can help answer my questions. Looking forward to more videos. Thanks!
@ Yes. Intermittent microstutters. My usual on-board RUclips app content was all over the place no matter what setting. Not used to that. Other on-board apps too. (Yes, I know - onboard apps, right?) For the serious TV viewing, however, I boot up my external Apple TV with match framerate and dynamic range on, and it was better, but still not as flawless as my X900H. Again, occasional micro stutter. Tried various non SOE motion settings. Jumping from an X1 to an XR processor introduced me to more motion settings, but I'm wondering if the new backlight technology is getting in the way of the world famous Sony motion processing I'm used to. Hoping Sony are aware of this and can fix in future sw updates. I'd like to try the B9 again in the future. Preferably with a substantial price drop. Yikes!
@@suedepup I still get the occasional stutters or poor motion with extremely low bit rate content since the interpolation can't keep up, but I'm used to it from my a90j. I understand what you mean though. I actually think part of the issue is the pixel response being faster. My x930e had much slower pixel response but had lovely motion. Who knows
@ So am I asking for more trouble wanting to give an LG G4 a try? Never had an OLED. Is OLED motion a whole other ballgame? I've heard great things about LG's "Cinematic Motion" setting.
@@suedepup you can always try it. LG does have great motion. Since I use motion interpolation, my native panel motion opinion largely comes from gaming. Natively I think any tv nowadays have great motion but it's down to the person watching if they like how it looks. I imagine it wouldnt be too hard to find an LG at a local tv store, best buy, whatever and try the motion for yourself. I find with how fast the pixel response on oleds is, stuttering is more noticeable
I game and watch movies and am seriously leaning towards a 65" Bravia 7 or an X90L....I wasn't really a Sony fan but I think I'd be in denial if I didn't admit they're the BEST tv's right now. I've been looking at flagship TCL and Hisense but I think I'd be disappointed if I didn't spend the little bit extra and go with Sony.....I don't want another Samsung and I don't really trust LG
@@dhowting between the x90l and the Bravia 7, I would 100% recommend getting the Bravia 7. Mini led is a substantial step up from the full array local dimming you'll get on the x90l.
@@Buzza235 I watch RUclips tv and sports on this tv and the quality is great. Obviously you won't be getting 4k quality upscaling but it definitely is solid. I recommend checking out HDTV test and their 65 inch Bravia 9 review to get an idea of how it does
@@sj460162 Samsung tends to over saturate their colors and go for more "pop" vs Sony. The beautiful thing as a consumer is we have a ton of great options out there 😁
My panel has been great. No noticeable DSE or anything. I pay the extra for Sony because they've always held up for me and I love their color science/processing compared to other brands. It's great we have so many options in the market to choose from

I game and watch movies and am seriously leaning towards a 65" Bravia 7 or an X90L....I wasn't really a Sony fan but I think I'd be in denial if I didn't admit they're the BEST tv's right now. I've been looking at flagship TCL and Hisense but I think I'd be disappointed if I didn't spend the little bit extra and go with Sony.....I don't want another Samsung and I don't really trust LG
@@dhowting between the x90l and the Bravia 7, I would 100% recommend getting the Bravia 7. Mini led is a substantial step up from the full array local dimming you'll get on the x90l.
Id like for you to show some 720p content to see the upscaling at work. I never watch 4K hdr content 24h a day.
@@Buzza235 I watch RUclips tv and sports on this tv and the quality is great. Obviously you won't be getting 4k quality upscaling but it definitely is solid. I recommend checking out HDTV test and their 65 inch Bravia 9 review to get an idea of how it does
@@SpencersStuffTV I'll check that out, cheers.
@@Buzza235 you're welcome!
I feel the colours on a sammy are better and richer for my tastes.
@@sj460162 Samsung tends to over saturate their colors and go for more "pop" vs Sony. The beautiful thing as a consumer is we have a ton of great options out there 😁
Eating good !
@@MeLucky-KuNGPaO yes sir! I'm very excited 😁

i hope you get good screen not a lot of problem hardware software update I don't like Sony this is a too much expensive and not improvement
My panel has been great. No noticeable DSE or anything. I pay the extra for Sony because they've always held up for me and I love their color science/processing compared to other brands. It's great we have so many options in the market to choose from
