SONY BRAVIA 9 Pulling You From OLED?
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 22 апр 2024
- The Sony Bravia 9 looks to be a true leap in MiniLED technology with a unique and more elaborate backlight system with a 4000 nit peak brightness. The question is can and will you leave Oled for a MiniLED? Every major TV manufacturers flagship is a Mini Led except for LG with its incredible G4. Let me know what you would do in the comments and thank you for watching.
You can pre-order the Bravia 9 or any other AV products from our good friends at Value Electronics valueelectronics.com/ or you can call them directly at 914 723 3344 and ask for Robert or Wendy and please mention Brian at BRIAN'S TECH THERAPY.

Excellent presentation of all of the top tier 2024 TVs! Very informative and technically correct explanations in an easy to understand discussion with FOMO! We all learned a lot about the new advancements for this model year. It's also thanks to you and FOMO that persuaded us to offer our most aggressive launch promotion for Sony's BRAVIA 9 QD MiniLED TVs, LG's G4 MLA OLED TVs and Samsung QN900D and QN95D. Now through May 26th we're gifting our clients with a 10% store credit. Thank you Brian for posting the link to our website in your description above.
Why is the 900D getting so much attention? Seemed like no one cared about the 900C or any of the 8k TVs last year. Now everyone is talking about it now. 8k is completely unnecessary, streaming 8k would be a nightmare and an 8k disc would be enormous. An average movie is around 65 Gigs, and a longer film like Oppenheimer is around 120 Gigs. An 8k copy of these would be in the 250 Gig range, thats for ONE movie. Film is not 8k is closer to 4kish, so ALL existing movies shot in film or shot in 4K master digital will have to be up-converted. Unless you are about 12 inches away from a 4k 85"TV, you cant see the pixels, most people sit 8 feet plus away from their screens and wouldn't see the pixels on a 1080P TV at that distance. The 8K TV's used to get all the best of everything i.e. processor, brightness, build quality, etc. Now that Sony has released the Bravia 9 which gets brighter then these 8k TV's, the reason to buy an 8k no longer makes sense. A high PPI on a phone makes sense as our viewing distance is so close, usually around 12"'s away, with a high PPI its almost impossible to see the pixels at that distance. Not sure of a situation where 8k is important, other than working for NASA. What am I missing???
Love seeing how active you guys are this year. Nice to have these companies competing again
Well said my friend! Thank you for being here
Fomo and Brian. Absolute best love watching you guys
Mini led and brightness has changed the game. When I saw TCL’s QM8, I bought a 75 incher… it’s so close now it doesn’t really matter anymore, but the brightness just changes the game.
totally wanna try it
I made the switch from oled to mini led last year with the x95L because I wanted something 85 inches. I don’t have any regrets. Other than wishing I held out an extra year for the Bravia 9 😢
Wanna see this one definitely😊
Looking forward to watching this! This is the most popular question since we announced Sony's new 2024 flagship BRAVIA 9 QD MiniLED TV.
Thanks Brian
The Bravia 9 is what will pull me back from OLED. So excited. Thanks for covering this!
I hear you. This TV looks like it will be a lot of fun, will probably almost 3D looking without the glasses. Do you know if the Bravia 7 can do 4k nits? I like that they are offering a 55" mini LED, thats a good size for most rooms, without getting to large. Probably a good kitchen TV.
@@michael-4k4000 the Bravia 7 will not hit 4k nits, just the Bravia 9! I will say the Bravia 7 looks like a great middle ground tv in sonys lineup. Probably similar to the x900 series they were selling
I currently own a LG 55EF9500 OLED 4k. Its been over 6 years and its been great for 2k, but it shows burn-in with the youtube UI and has always been horrible with HDR which looked insanely dark. Completely unwatchable. And to add to it, there's no way to turn it off with 4k content, so i couldn't watch any movie in 4k with this TV.
Now this is by no means a judgement on other OLEDs or other brand OLEDs and i know OLED has brightened over the years so I'm sure its not nearly as bad as it used to be. Its just this exact brand/model.
I'm 100 percent going to get the 9 after all the research into this sony tv. If OLED ever fixes the Burn-in issues, and it can some day compete in brightness, I'm sure ill go back. But I love very very bright and vivid colors and now with the 9 , you get almost OLED black levels. SOLD!!!!!! lol
And thank you to both of you for your honesty and details! Great video!
OLED........or nothing
@@drunkhusband6257 that's your opinion
great video guys that Bravia 9 is looking really special
Love u guys together… congrats
Thank you so much and thank you for being here my friend.
I’m feeling pulled 😮
Tv of the Year! But on dark room Oled always gonna be better! !!!
❤FOMO❤
@@ramonzaions7522Why just dark room? I think a lot of people get confused on the purpose of brightness and only think it's to combat bright rooms. The biggest purpose is for highlights and contrast. I have the LG G2 and a90j OLED TVs and prefer my X95L over both. The highlights are amazing and I don't see any blooming. Seeing what the Bravia 9 does has me excited and I'll probably get it just based on everything I'm seeing from their new backlight control and brightness. With many using the new Sony HX3110 master monitor, it will translate well to this TV. I still love OLED but with blooming basically non existent now to our eyes, having great viewing Angles plus the significant difference in HDR highlights, I personally am eyeing it for my main theater room setup.
FOMO, I want you to build a large room with a wall full of tvs with a motorized chair like Q from the first star trek tng episodes where you basically float around as a futuristic judge passing judgement.
Same here. Especially when you throw in that amazing looking Bravia theatre Quad sound system 🤤🤤🤤
If you had to choose a 77”, would you choose a A95L or an LG G4?👀
Great conversation! Loved the back and forth. You got a new sub lol
I'm so glad you enjoyed it! Thank you so much, and welcome to the community and family
I can't wait to see that Sony Bravia 9 in person.
Brian and FOMO are the dynamic duo....phenomenal job
So glad you enjoyed my friend
Ace and Gary?
Bravia 9 looks awesome but for the great majority( including me) the Bravia 7 would be the best we could do for cost
Bruh the way Sony prices are lol be hoping for a Bravia 1😂
@@jeffgraves4825 Im getting a X90L 1200 $ because its cheaper than the 3 until they sell out. the 7 is 2600 canadian and the others start with a 3XXX
A95L keeping me away from mini led. More than bright enough and good enough whites with amazing color
You quickly get used to the bad, just like the good. How poorly it is visible only when comparing head-to-head
ruclips.net/video/4lX0-6bojv0/видео.html
My ancient monitor (15 years old) produces more brightness in sunny scenes than the A95L, it's just a shame. And it’s stupid to deny the difference in the picture between the X95L and A95L (however, I haven’t seen such sectarians)
@evur_tweak 100%, I miss my brigthness. I willl be goiing miniLED next
@@evur_tweak And in real life the OLED still has more perceived contrast and 3d pop.
Sony A95L is superior
@@paulcox2447 The contrast itself doesn't make sense. If you have 2 TVs that can produce X brightness, then TV A is better than TV B if it has more contrast. And if your TV is dark by itself, I don't care what the contrast is, if it can't draw a scene in brightness normally. The mini-LED also has excellent contrast, but at the same time it draws scenes normally
I'll just keep quiet about 3d
You two guys are awesome for not being biased and really digging into the details. I was trying to buy the best TV for my media room and was really looking at getting A95L or G3, I ended up snagging a Z9K for the same price and I LOVE IT!! And I do mostly PC gaming!! Thanks Brian and Fomo!!
Awesome! Thank you so very much!
Busy life, I missed it..
Brian, Fomo and Value Electronics: You are just amazing!

Thank you so much John!! Much love!
I have a 1080P Sony 15 years old still working. Sony is hard to beat.
Lol! me too man, but now seems to be a good time to jump onto 4k screens for me.
@@arrows78910 I did..A95L. Still keeping the other one though.
I've had awesome reliability from Sony TVs, cameras, etc
You guys got Brian, FOMO, Fedora, shill and a cologne reference all in one video 😂 Great video as always guys ❤
Still loving my Sony 75” X900E in the bedroom, an 83” C2 in the family room, and a Hisense PX1-Pro UST w/ 130” Stewart Filmscreen in the dedicated theater!
When you saw the Bravia 9, was it close to oled for large room side viewing? In ambient light, great room which is the best overall tv from your testing?
Great discussion gents, im stuck in the decision making mode while i saving money. Currently as a heavy 24 frame content watcher, im heavily leaning toward bravia 9 for the motion and extra 2 inches on top of it all.
Hi guys, great content as always. Do you get the Hisense OLED over there like we do in the UK? Hardly any expert reviews of Hisense OLED on youtube. Cheers
Great stuff. I'm on A95L vs G4 vs G3 right now and going to sit until the 9. I don't care about panel type or gaming, just the best streaming / HDR for a bright room.
I'm in for a Bravia 9. Looks like the GOAT
I'm still using a Pioneer Kuro plasma as my daily tv. tempted by the Bravia 9.
Yes it can! Went to see again today X95L and G3 in the store. Thought the X95L looked phenomenal, and surely so did the G3 (but somehow I don’t like the oversharpened look and artificial look) and if the G4 is an incremental improvement over G3, and the Bravia 9 a true large evolutionary step over the X95L, Bravia 9 is absolutely a beast and an easy choice! Especially at 85”.
I’m not an LG fanI would rather have Samsung QDOLED but it’s not LG that’s over sharpening things it’s actually the opposite. Sony does over sharpening hence why in German TV shootout and HDTV BLIND TV SHOOTOUT LG scored higher in video processing. I can see everyday at work how over sharpened and soft it is on Sony but does a good job at cleaning up the image not noticeable unless you work with them or spend too much time with them evaluating it not something normal consumers do.
9 Series will be like a plasma TV ....Finely!!! I will buy one 100%
Whut, I prefer oversharpened over duller edges as long as artifact control is okeyish. Creates more depth in the image, which to me makes it more lifelike
@VMKisselev
.....like a plasma? In what way?
HDTV test shootout the A95L still won
This is the perfect vid. I literally have an LG CX at 65” 😅
@19:08 reminded me of home alone 2. I was waiting for you to mention Cliff
Great work gentlemen! Enjoyed our time in LA for sure!
Larry!!! Is this really you? I hope you enjoyed the discussion. It was an honor and a pleasure to meet you.
@@BRIANSTECHTHERAPY Yes sir!!!! The honor and pleasure was mine. I thoroughly loved the discussion my friend! You guy's both makes such incredibly helpful content and I feel fortunate to have had the chance to talk tech with you and FOMO as well as just hang out a bit!
Keep sharing all the knowledge my friend! Talk soon I hope!
@LARRYfromSONY Thank you so very much, Larry! The pleasure was mine. We can connect anytime, and I'd love to have you on for a video discussion.
@@BRIANSTECHTHERAPY Let's do it brother!
When are you guys going to be reviewing the Hisense U8N?
I think it’s amazing that the 30k plus monitor for the last 7 years has been an LED Backlight based tech and not oled and it still dominates TVs when it’s next to it, oled or led based. Years ago the pro monitor was oled but now it’s LED based and has remained that way still even now moving to 4000 nits.
I think the reasons for it is that they can achieve much higher brightness using LCD tech. Also they use Dual-layer so in effect it has the same black levels as an OLED because it's per pixel level dimming. But it does show that LCD technology clearly has room to improve in consumer space.
@@Swecan76 it’s been stated that the Bravia 9 is made with the newest 4000 nit monitor in mind with its tech, processing and capabilities so the Bravia 9 is something a lot of people including myself will want this year.
@@lvproductionsinc9748 Yep. I am getting one. I don't technically even need to see reviews. But I will because I want all the info I can get.
depends where you are at. Many companies can't afford a 30,000 mastering monitor. LG worked closely with Cal-man so you can get a "pro" quality tuning in much less time than it takes other brands and it's basically all automatic.
So you see a mix of LG OLED and Sony reference monitors actually being used.
@@paulcox2447 that’s not the same. Watching on a consumer oled in a studio and comparing to or for reference after you shoot the content and mastered it to see how it looks isn’t the same as creating the content by reference and grading/ mastering it. They use lg to see how the product looks on the consumer level in a studio compared to the reference. Major Hollywood studios are not grading on consumer oled. I understand smaller studios and lower budgets may do this but major hollywood studios and large companies are not using lg oled.
I have 3 OLEDs and have already decided I will be picking up the Bravia 9 so yes
I wish you fun with your mirror OLED Displays!
Bravia9 definitely has my interest for sure! Am I giving up a little coming from a80l, maybe. What I've learned there are several factors to consider (size, use case, bright/dark room) I'm sure all of these TV's are great and most important they are not perfect. What is more important to me, the picture or features of the tv. It's give and take and at the end of the day am I happy with my purchase?
@leo7onfire Yeah, it's gonna come down to seeing in person then deciding. Tough part is actually waiting for the Bravia9
Great vid. Also, Very nice surprise from Sony this year. And thank the heavens Sony switched to 'normal' naming of their products. :p
Anyone know when reviews will hit? I am so excited to see Brian, FOMO and the others get their hands on this new lineup.
I'm thinking sometime in June?
Even without reviews, I am convinced about the Bravia 9. I watched a comparison video by a French channel that showcased scenes from Dune on the Bravia 9 versus the X95L. The difference was stark, not just a minor incremental change that requires scrutinizing details. The Bravia 9 was significantly brighter, with vastly improved contrast and fuller colors, akin to a QDOLED. It seemed to rival the X95L against a QDOLED. I understand the importance of not getting carried away by the hype, but the difference was indeed substantial. The comparison appeared to be conducted in a dark room, with no blooming, just crystal clear images, solid contrast, and a profound HDR impact.
In a dark room, an OLED may offer "perfect contrast," but I don't watch TV in complete darkness. My viewing environment is a dimly lit room with some ambient light behind the TV. In such a setting, the contrast difference would likely be negligible, and without an OLED for direct comparison, the Bravia 9's contrast seems optimal.
Furthermore, the price in Canada is quite attractive, even more so than in the US after conversion. I hope this pricing remains since we often end up paying more, but perhaps not this time.
I think the same! For me gonna be TV of the Year! But on a full dark room Oled still gonna be superior like always!
Reviewers are going to confuse you when they start measure the TV using software , and the conclusion will be like , "blooming issue , black not as black as......, this TV not as bright as...... .
If the TV looks good to your eyes , that means the TV is good . I always like Sony because I like the beautiful color and sharpness . even though the reviewers say this and that.
@@ramonzaions7522then you buy the qdoled A95L which continues to be Sony's flagship in 2024 and I read rumors about the 55 inch model
Where’s that video? What’s the title?
I think you’re confusing black level with infinite contrast. I agree in lot room raised black levels are not noticeable but infinite contrast still is even in bright room the difference is visible as it is in shops with all the lights on. Micro contrast and resulting 3d effect will still be the difference. Question is how close to that this mini led can get.
Remember OLED fans....before you dis the Bravia....remember what tech Sony DID NOT use to build the new master monitor. I bet you micro contrast and shadow detail will be good enough, not superior to, OLEd but all the other elements of picture quality will be phenomenal
no im not sold. people were calling x95l an oled killer around this time last year but turned out it wasn't. i expect the same from bravia 9. this is still a backlit mini led lcd and sony can't get around the physical limitations of the technology. you will never have a full dse free and bloom free mini led.
Maybe you dont want to be sold, OLed cannot property display shadow details in very dark scenes, enjoy your black crush.
The interesting part for comparisons will be which size Bravia 9 do you compare? They will perform slightly different with the zone counts. 85" having the most control over the image.
I have the Fear Of Missing Out on the natural tones and motion handling of my plasma when it finally dies. So far I have not missed being able to watch TV without sunglasses.
Plasma is dinosaur tech, come in the modern era, G4 or Bravia 9
@@tracer073 That's my point! Why can't "modern era" tech match the motion performance of a decade old plasma? My old plasma isn't in the same universe for brightness but it just looks more natural in my darkened room. From what I've seen it would be either G4 or A95L for me if my set died tomorrow.
I'm not a big OLED fan and have had a Sony 85XG9505 FALD TV since 2019 because controllable brightness is very important to me. Up to now I found OLED too dark.
However, the very noticeable blooming bothers me now and the B9 would be perfect for me.
The LG G4 probably doesn't, also because I'm not a gamer and because I don’t like the two inches less. I sit quite far away from the television.
But thank you Fomo and Brian for your great videos and information. It’s much better than everything you can read in magazines and much more current👍👍👍
Thanks, Brian. I really appreciate your perspective and opinions, especially how open minded and non biased you are. I have both LG and Samsung OLEDs but am intrigued by the Bravia 9 based on your and FOMOs comments!
Ps would love your thoughts on the upcoming Hisense U9N (+5k nits) @3,999 or the U8N (+3500 nits) @2,999
The pleasure is mine Chad!! I'll be checking out my U8N today!
My two favorite tv reviewers/inthuists, waiting for the 98" Hisense and TCL discussions 😉 for those of us who have to fill a theater room wall. 90% performance in a larger size is ok with me.
If I was in the market right now, hell yes, I'd go with a Mini LED that had a good viewing angle along with all the better contrast, processing and color vibrancy that it has. It has to be financially competitive however. Never say never baby. Always love watching you and FOMO bring out the big guns to bring the relevant facts, informed and expert opinions and fun banter back and forth.
Indeed it has to be competitive. Thing is 77 G4 will be cheaper later on whereas 83” bit more expensive
Lcd TVs are off the table for me until off angle viewing is improved. How is the off angle viewing on the Bravia 9?
Can't wait for you guys to review the Hisense U7N and U8N!
My U8N arrives tomorrow!
Same here. Waiting on U8N reviews...
@@brunan-gi147 mine just arrived today!
Here in Australia current pricing is $9995.00 for G4 83 or Pre order Sony Bravia 9 85 for $7995.00. Or by an A80L 83 for $7,250.00 i just don't know which offers best picture for money value...
I used to have a DLP projector brightness matters. Anymore than 1100 lumens, if you accidently looked at the lens and you were blinded. But you never forget the movie experience with a dlp projector. Unforgettable
Nothing to do with cost. Sony understands, you need 4000 nits for true Dolby vision and they did it, you can't get anyone than 2000 nits with oled
Yeah, but the true standard is going to be micro led.
No need to pay up for the Bravia 9 in my opinion. I mean sure if u have infinite budget and are watching stuff that truly can benefit from MAX HDR range…
@@kineahora8736 you don't have to have infinite budget, they said on the video that's it's cheaper than the other makes top tier TVs. Yea, everything I watch is uhd, HDR. I watch RUclips on my phone.
You can't have true hdr without pixel perfect brightness control. That's reality.
@@paulcox2447Not true the mastering monitor isn’t even Oled anymore
Dolby vision supports up to 10K nits. Sony just found a number and are marketing it (with the master monitor BS); it just conveniently coincides with what they’re bringing to the market. There’s no true Dolby Vision with blooming.
Thanks, Brian and FOMO! Bravia 9 looks like a mighty TV and I am considering it as I have a bright living room. However, I wonder how it will compare to Hisense U8N or even UX series? I assume 85 inch Bravia 9 will be close in price to 98 inch UX98...
Brian will you actually have the Bravia 9 on hand or will you just be discussing? Either way, looking forward to it. Big thanks to you and FOMO!
seeing that he is avoiding to answer this probably means that it will be 2 hours talking about it and no tv on hand
Cant wait for the actual reviews to come to form an opinion. Is impossible though not to have blooming. Sony is not the best when it comes to blooming. Great video guys. Really enjoyed it.
I use both OLED & Mini-LED and I could easily just use Mini-LED if it came down to it. I’m going to take a hard look at the 83” G4 the 85” QN900D and the 85” Bravia 9. Gaming features are the most important to me and since I only game on console with everything running through my AVR the Sony should still serve me well, I’m currently gaming on my G2. Dolby Vision is my least important feature when considering a new tv so that part of it is a non issue.
Good luck with the QN900D. I briefly had the 65" and I experienced numerous dropouts with my 3090 gaming PC. If it didn't have the One Connect Box, I'd recommend it. The motion handling, processing, and upscaling is fantastic.
@@Nwordplzplz I’m don’t game on PC so I don’t need the 144hz so I’m thinking I’d be ok with the PS5 & Series X
@@Lozin80 I didn't have any issues with those consoles, but PC gameplay was iffy. You almost have to take it on a game by game basis when it comes to PC gaming. You're in for a treat when you upgrade.
Well, there wasn't much difference between the X95L and the previous reference monitor (or the G3 for that matter) so I guess if this is a huge leap forward, we'd have trouble seeing differences between it and the new monitor.
Damn sure can!!
I wonder if streaming will deliver any of this 4000 nit content, or will they chop it down like they do with audio for bandwidth reasons
Currently, I have an aging Samsung Q90R 65" in my living room. It is greatly outclassed by my LG C3 65" in my entertainment room in all aspects, except for 2 key points. Absolute Brightness and Color Volume. I bring this up because the Q90R is nearly a 5 year old TV, and it can still beat OLED in certain areas. However, you have the BRAVIA 9, which gets significantly brighter, has OLED-like contrast levels, and Sony picture processing... it ticks literally every box. I'm tired of Samsung, and I love my LG C3. It's time for some Sony love in my house. I want the BRAVIA 9 as my next TV.
How's the LG C3 for gaming?
Is there a way to compare Bravia 9 and A95L please? Either in a side-by-side display or to discuss this. I cannot seem to find this topic covered anywhere on the net; the local Sony store doesn't have Bravia 9 display until maybe July... Thanks!!
No one can deny the powerful impact of Sony in this passionate business, they hijacked the hype about QD OLED by backing up the miniled, wow stuff, same goes to you my friend you are on fire this year, and i love seeing you admiring G4 during the 7h face off with our complices FOMO and Mister Robert Zohn 😉
Sony is less than 5% of TV sales
@@paulcox2447 that fact is another reason to back up my saying, but you didn't get the whole point i guess
Does the bravia 9 give the 3d pop like oled?
Surprised to hear the previous color banding / posterization issue in game mode is still an issue on the G4. Is this true?
to confirm Bravia 7 using same technology to control mini LED just like Bravia 9, difference is contrast booster 20 instead of 30, no x-wide angle, no upgraded accoustic? if that is all its way superior to ON OFF mini led X95L? just want to clarify as its 1.5k price difference between both 85 inches, many thanks
Will the Bravia 9 be good for gaming? I've heard a lot of mixed things about mini led for gaming.
Nope, LCD has poor gaming performance, OLED is better for gaming and sports, better response time, superior black color and contrast than LCD on Bravia 9 TV's
@@user-pu2ro8ok3r You also have to worry about burn in and I've also heard that games can look choppier on OLED's so there are tradeoffs. I have an LED now it's just an older model, I've just heard things about mini LED's in particular not being able to handle gaming as well as a normal LED
@@clojap LCD TVs have more problems and malfunctions than OLED TVs
Hi Brian,
Do you really think it's possible to get the Bravia 9 in 98 inches towards the end of the year, for example?
Will the Bravia 9 come out in smaller sizes?
The Sony is using an interesting backlighting, going in the right direction for mini led. Let it cook. Lg oled is developed and the tech has matured nicely. I'm excited to get a LG G4 when they go down in price. also a PC gamer. Forza, helldivers 2, arma reforger.
I still have my LG C2 , the only things changing are upgraded chips and reflection on technology, but not big deal. The only way to jump to a new TV experience is when the world moves to 8K and is a normal thing. 💪👍
So now I have that problem choosing Bravia 9 vs the G4 problem replacing my 2020 CX. I game with PC connected/PS5 and I watch movies aswell in HDR. Time will tell if Bravia 9 is going to kill it also in the gaming department, will it beat the G4 or is the G4 superior in that department.
Bravia 9 has higher price than LG G4 OLED
I am way too sensitive to blooming so I don’t think I can go back from OLED. However, Sony’s Mini-LED tech is very cool. I am eager to see how far LG can push MLA WOLED with color boosting.
Mini LED is cheaper to make so the profit is much higher for the company’s to make mini LED over OLED
hey guys, Brian do you have seetings videos for your A80L, now that I have mine - I feel like its got really poor motion, like REALLY poor.
i bought the LG C2 OLED a few years ago for gaming. It was too dim for me, and picture sharpness was not any better than my Sony LED. I ended up plugging the Sony back in. So yes, I can go from OLED back to LED or even mini LED.
Bravia 9 looks very appealing to those who don’t like burn in i would purchase it if I didn’t have a newer TV 🤩👍
Im a gamer/movie watcher is the bravia 9 going to be as good as a g4 in this area? Im guessing not? But want your opinion
I have no problem with lcd , higher cri ( color rendering index ) ,, less crushing blacks ,,, and the closest to the professional monitor right out of the box ; the only problem to me I want it at 55" and I love oled acoustic surface audio plus technology with A1e like design .
I’m getting the biggest size I can get once it’s released! 😂 I can’t wait for this tv
Dang. This looks excellent, but without taking away from the technical achievement here, do you think the G4 is still the better all around TV for a varied use, bright living room?
Sony Bravia 9 is next level
Brian just help me make my decision. At 22 minutes in, you talked about the gaming benefits of OLED, (I currently have the A80J OLED), I am staying with OLED and Going either G4 or A95L at 77".
Which is better The Sony A95L or the new G4?
It seems in a side by side comparison, most are picking the G4 as the tv with the best picture including myself. I’m not exactly sure which is better “performance” wise but my guess is the G4 is also the better gaming tv. The G4 also has 4 hdmi 2.1 ports vs the 2 from Sony. The G4 also has more realistic white color and better out of the box color accuracy. The colors are vivid without looking saturated. I believe the G4 has a higher peak brightness overall.
No, the mini led will still have too many flaws. They will become very apparent once it's in your house and you really start scrutinizing it.
Even though the light control is better, it's not going to be oled level.
Get a G4.
I’m with QD-OLED all the way….. but you gotta believe in Sony. Can’t wait for the comparisons!
So would you exchange the A 95 L QF OLED with Bravia 9? My QD oled 77 inch sometimes has flickering in the background. How can I minimize it?
I know people are excited for the Bravia Series 9, but remember that it'll hardly go on sale. It's unfortunate, but it's the reality of Sony TVs. I previously wanted the G4 83", but I couldn't pass up the Samsung S90C 77" for ~$1600 after cashback. I hope everyone enjoys their new TV's in 2024.

I just pre-order Sony Bravia 9. I have OLED, 2017 and a 2023 LGs. I never thought I would go to mLED.. I am crossing my finger. Gamer as well, going to be pairing my 4090 gaming rig with the Bravia 9, but I don't play FPS games that requires over 120hz.
Your going to absolutely love it, my friend !
At current pricing, it's the Bravia 7 at 85inch for me so it's a case of waiting for reviews of the Bravia 7 to confirm the purchase. In fact the Bravia 9 is priced the same as the 83 inch A80L (in Australia)??
Once the bravia 7 ia released I wonder if ikl be able to find a X95L on a heavily discounted price id probably shoot for the X95l.
Ill also wait to see the Rtings vs review between the bravia 7 and x95L
I have a general question about newer people TVs.. I have a 2018 6 series 65" Samsung QLED. It's pretty basic, but it looks great. My friend has an LG 83" OLED, I want to say it's a C1. The color, contrast, brightness, clarity and sense of depth are all he dropping. But the motion is terrible. Even after going through the menus and turning off any and all extra processing we could find, it has soap opera out the ass in slower scenes, but then faster scenes where the frame rate should be nice, just show really conspicuous artifacts. My TV doesn't have any of those problems. He's streaming from an Xbox, which may have its own settings.. He's also got the contrast cranked up too high or something, as there was very noticeable black crush.
He was saying that newer codecs used by the streaming services have higher native frame rates and it is start it is. My TV looks more natural, because it's too old to support the latest codecs. Is their truth to this? And/or are the newest TVs going to have more natural motion? I'm very sensitive to the overly smooth, un-natural soap opera effect. To the point that I straight up wouldn't trade sets with him. (Even if an 83" would fit in my room.)
We need 3D quantum Oled passive 👍👍👍
ur talkin bout bringing 3d back with the passive glasses right? My first gaming monitor had nvidia 3d vision support and came with the active glasses. Despite the drawbacks of active shutter glasses, it was freaking fantastic when it was fully supported. Arkham City in 3d was one of the most immersive experiences in gaming I've ever had. I really hope it makes a comeback some day.
Brian, you have 83” for usage/Gaming? How far back are you from the TV mate, iam in the UK and still enjoying a 65” C8, my Room is 15ft*15ft and sit 10-11ft from screen, would you stay 65” or want the 77” Regards👍 (it will be a G4)
65' at 9 feet and 77' 10.8 feet 😉
I'm not a gamer. I'm a Blu-ray lover. If I had $6,500 and could choose between a 77-inch Samsung S90D/S95D, 83-inch LG G4 MLA WRGB OLED, or 85-inch Sony Bravia 9 mini-LED, I would have to go with the Sony Bravia 9. The way you guys are describing it, I'd be getting at least as much color volume as the Samsung and even more HDR impact than the LG. Even though I'm not making enough money for this hobby fast enough so I can purchase everything found in home theater dreamland in a year or two, I still appreciate knowing what my options are in home theater dreamland.
Talk about the black diamond projector screen
Great conversation guys! Robert from ValueElectronics and other sites are saying the Brania 9 is 3000nits not 4000. Can you clear that up Brian?
Probably depends on the white point? Seems like companies use the brighteat not accurate white to boost their nits. We need a standard for for declaring nits.
Micro LED is what I'm waiting for. Bright. Perfect blacks. No burn in.
So no TV until 2035 for you then? I'm assuming you want to pay less than 10g for one...
@@HegoDamaskII but but but!! Burn-in no longer exists! How many times have I been told this. Usually by someone who is NOT using an old OLED but a brand new one. Mitigations have gotten better, burn-in has not.
Still .. Bravia 9 mini led excels or surpasses Bravia 8 Oled's deep black and contrast ratio ?
It’s really unfortunate there is no second tier QD OLED from Sony this year
In the U.K. 83” G4 cost 7k vs 85”Sony at 5k. Unless g4 is miles ahead in a side by side comparison, it might be better to get the Bravia 9 over here….
You are an absolute idiot to pay $5,000 for any LED TV.
Sony can make that TV for less than $300, spend money on marketing to make you guys believe it's worth $5,000. I don't care if it's mini LED or micro LED it's still LED technology
This kind of helped me but still I’m at a loss. 77 A95L or 85 series 9. The series 9 sounds amazing but everyone seems to love OLED. I think I’m leaning to the 9 because I game every now and then
Bravia 9 , that extra size with 85 inches vs 77 is huge.
@@fawkkyutuu8851 it’s shocking how noticeable it is. I went to Best Buy the other day to check out the A95L and the 85” x93L was right next to it. It was hard to ignore the difference in size
@@fawkkyutuu8851 thought my reply posted earlier.
