    Very well organized and informative. As someone who doesn’t buy a new TV very often I find myself overwhelmed by the cryptic model numbering systems used by different manufacturers. This video helped me to understand the various Sony models lines and make a decision about which one was right for me.

I loved that TV so much and many years later they gave it to me so i could play my ps3 on it… i still own it and after all these years it still works just fine

Especially given both of these act as a centre channel in the right set ups. Personally I’m considering the G3 and interested in value/mid recommendations for a setup that works well with this TV, taking advantage of using the TV as a centre channel.

    Hi I want to buy the Sony Bravia XR as I have a Sony PS5. Thanks in advance but I have 3 questions before I buy…
    Question 1) I only have space for only a 50” or a 55" so which one is better out of the 2?
    Question 2) I heard that OLED was the best so if the Sony Bravia XR is made for the PS5 then why is the Bravia XR only LED and not OLED or doesn’t it matter?
    Question 3) I use a Digital Audio Optical TOSLINK cable from the TV or Mac and plug it into my amp for 7.1 sound. Does the Sony Bravia XR 50” and 55” have a output socket for a Digital Audio Optical TOSLINK Cable? This one is a make or break for me if it hasn’t got one then I won’t buy it.

    My Bravia 65” freezes at least once a week requiring you to unplug it to reset it. They downloaded a patch to fix and it helped but still happens. Also, you will drop the remote control often. It’s so thin that you can only get your finger tips on it.

    How can you say A95L is the best panel of the bunch when it suffers from serious burn-in problems like most other OLED panels as shown by RTINGS endurance testing? VA panels are still the only long term choice for a gamer, sports enthusiast, and creative power user where the screen deals with a lot of static images.

    Best video by far! I can’t thank you enough.
    Here is my confusion if you or anyone else here can advise me.
    I need for streaming movies and music through Apple TV + HomePods pair and gaming on PS5. 4K streaming, Dolby Atmos, Dolby Vision, IMAX support is a must because Apple TV supports all of that.
    I really don’t need of its own OS, its own speakers (except during gaming perhaps if I ever don’t put on my Bose headphones).
    A95L is heard to be coming not before September, but I need to buy within July. Or if anyone else has heard it to be coming sooner than I know.
    A95K is QD-OLED too but it’s first generation. So, it kind of worries me. Burn-in issue is also on my mind.
    X95L is mini-LED which I think is better than OLED yet not as modern technology as QD-OLED.
    Please suggest me. Thanks so much.

    I know one is full array LED and one is OLED so there are some very obvious differences, but in practice how much difference would there be? How perceivable is it?
    As due to the newer version launches, in many places the OLED of last year is costing same as the full array LED of this year, or OLED of last year 65" costs same as full array LED of 75" last year, so it might be helpful.

    I got the A80k last year and the picture is incredible IF the source material/internet speed is fast. The Google OS however is garbage. Takes awhile to get going, crashed a bunch of times, and overall seems slow and laggy. The “ok Google” talk feature goes off sometimes from what it hears from the TV. Bravia core app sucks as they have very few titles. Overall the tv isn’t worth the Sony tax and I’d probably go back to Samsung.

Just wanted to know if the A90K OLED is worth paying that extra $1k or is the picture quality in the X85K good enough for watching movies, tv, etc. I don't do any gaming. I'm not looking at other brands coz Sony beats them all, unless U can convince me otherwise. LOL

    Hello. Is there a reason why to have 4 hdmi 2.1?? Do we actually need more than 2 hmdi 2.1 outputs? Im looking for new tv and looking at the a95l 77 inch

    Hi, does anyone know if the sony X85K tv remote can turn the tv on and off without having to point the remote at the tv??

    6:26 I enabled Enhanced signal mode on my X75WL and plugged my PS5 into HDMI 3, which is the eARC port but why is it still on HDMI 2.0? My PS5 on 4K HDR is saying the colour range is YUV422 due to HDMI 2.0 transfer speed limitations

    I am still happy with my Sony Bravia 3D TV Witch is sill give out a great picture we do watch 3D any more because it gives you an headache I only bought it because of I found out that my pay station could play back 3D cds my daughter bought a Sony Bravia tv a couple of years ago it is 4k but it doesn’t not now have all functions for adjusting to pictures quality like mine also mine has a lot of power saving features on its a present sensor which will turn the screen off if you don’t move but it is turned down low because it becomes a annoying on high settings also some of the power saving features just make the picture dimmer the best feature is I can put all the channels in any order I like which my daughters tv doesn’t have 😊
