@@stopthefomo No you are wrong and this should be reported as false information. The backlight system is completely separate from AUO and TCL etc. Sony has literally made circuit boards for decades, they have a semi-conductor in house development. They make Photography sensors, IC chips and all kinds of things. But you think they cant make one large backlight circuit board with Mini-LEDs and IC Drivers on it. The circuit boards with the XR processor etc is built by Sony. They put together and build the Sony Playstation for crying out loud. They designed the whole internal system by Sony engineers. Even if there is some plant mass producing it. It's completely beside the point. The way you speak is as though another company is involved in designing and making it.

TCL is making Panasonic's miniLCDs. So kind of win win. You get panasonic /sony processing with maybe some extra heavy duty support in TV . TCL uses their production knowledge to do their own. Sony and Panasonic small players in the market. miniLCD , OLEDs, QDOLEDS only make up say 5% of total market. LCD still reign supreme.

Im sensitive to ANY blooming and dont like the image washing out at an angle so the B9 wouldnt be for me.

Many years ago in the 70's (Yes i am that old !) most TV's were rented. When the first colour sets arrived they were way too expensive for most people to buy, so they rented, this ensured that when not if the tv failed it would be repaired or replaced with a newer model free of charge. With the crazy prices of todays must have very large expensive models then leasing one makes a lot of sense. Plus as predicted the panel tech will be way better in a few years time making paying thousands for one now a waste of money.

Even the Digital streaming of SDR 1080p is absolutely remarkable on the LG C3 and 4K HDR/DV is beautiful..

They can outsource building/assembling their backlight panel to ANY factory out there that does custom jobs. All they need are the specifications. You know shockingly little about things you talk about. It's a circuit board and it has miniLEDs on it and IC drivers. That's about it. They would have 65/75/85 specification of size and it's designed in house and they start with making prototypes and they developed the IC driver in-house via their Sony Semiconductor solutions group. Just another thing you clearly didn't know. But they said it loud and proud over and over again. I guess you didn't listen. You see something from TCL, I saw that 6 months ago BTW so good job being WAY late to the party. These TCL demos existed a long time. Just because they are similar doesn't mean TCL makes Sony backlight panels. That would be asinine to think. This is literally THE standout difference for Sony and you think they would hand it to TCL? Or that TCL invented and made it. Shame.... Who do you think makes the MILLIONS of Playstation 1,2,3,4 and 5 consoles? TCL? Sony designs them and whether they have their own assembly factories or outsource them doesn't matter. They design and built the prototype templates with all the custom parts that go with it. AMD supplies the SoC but even that one is custom built and changed according to what Sony wants. Sony makes Camera sensors and tons of IC chips. They made computer laptops. They have expertise in circuit boards going back decades. They even have their own plants. Don't make videos and frame them as some discovery and pass it off as some truth when you clearly haven't even researched anything about it. You see some OLD video that TCL has demonstrated tons of times before about THEIR backlight version and because it looks similar You go and make an insane claim that TCL makes these for Sony. What the hell. Fomo DO BETTER... This backlight is Sony In-house developed including the IC drivers which is THE LITERAL reason they said they NOW can make these backlight panels and increase the Zone counts. Were you sleeping when they presented this news.

Why would Sony allow TCL to have access to the LITERAL thing that makes Sony TV standout from TCL? Please just STOP.... It's painful. TCL DOES NOT GIVE SONY AN EXCLUSIVE RIGHT. It is SONY's OWN development and design and patent FOR CRYING OUT LOUD.... STOP it!!!!!! Sony developed the IC driver , IC stands for "Integrated Circuit" since you don't seem to know what it is or who made it. Sony made it and it's very tiny. It's all just on a large plastic circuit board designed IN HOUSE with MiniLEDs in the thousands and many of these IC drivers. Any factory can make it for Sony. They get handed custom specs and say can you make this for us. Sony likely does that in house as well. Did you forget Sony makes Playstation. That they make Cameras? They literally develop sensors and IC chips. But it would be too hard and expensive for Sony to assemble a plastic circuit board with their own IC drivers? What's next are you saying TCL is also literally making the Bravia 9 TV? The cabinet, the plastic, the housing and ALL of it. Of course not. So who does that FOMO? Who builds these TVs? It's Sony and their factories or 3rd party factories that assemble it. THAT is how they have their own backlight.

@Swecan76Ай бұрын
Wrong. 8-bit is not enough. It's 10 bit LCD panel and 12-bit PWM. It's processing for speed and various light level gradients with thousands of miniLEDs in thousands of zones. There is a reason TCL with their 6-bit PWM and 10-Bit LCD doesn't have the same gradient levels of light. They use more zones instead. Sony uses the "LIGHT" so to speak. They dim it in lets for example say 100 stages. The TCL does it in 10 stages. It's different solutions. LCD panels have crystals that let light through or block it. It works in tandem with the backlight. Technically the light could be 100% on at all times. Which is how it used to work and the LCD crystals do the rest. But that is Native contrast and hence not very good, light leakage happens a lot. Zones helps with that by turning OFF the light in large areas. Now with MiniLED they not only turn on and off areas. They also do different light levels. Smaller zones, numerous levels of light from off to very little to full blast. This creates this sort of image in the backlight itself hence with the tandem of the LCD crystals create a much better contrast, and black level. 8 bit only allows for a certain amount of operations. Higher bit allows for more. This is why TCL has less gradient light levels and focus more on "brute force" of MORE zones. But they lose the fine tuning.
