Hey everyone! I’m headed out on vacation for a week so I will probably not be in the comments section so much for the next week and a half or so. I’ll see y’all when I get back, when I have some INCREDIBLE videos planned for y’all! ❤❤❤🎉

The first guy is definitely using vivid 😂😂

Whenever I stumble upon an HDR video it's always a happy little surprise.

0:30 Nice “Hot Ones”reference!

This has been an excellent episode of You Asked! Such good questions and equally good answers. Well done!! Oh! And I would welcome a video devoted to HDR, to show how it’s done and maybe even have some of it in HDR and some in SDR to see the difference? Just a thought. Thanks!!!

Definitely would like to see a video on what goes into making HDR videos on KZfaq.

This was the episode I was looking for. I was really debating about the A80L and Bravia 8. Love this channel.

One step closer to the holy Bravia 9 review. Can't wait!

Upgraded from an 55" C1 to an 77" G4, Was def worth it, colours pop more more horsepower under the hood and game mode is fixed and the screen jump alone was worth the extra money. Bought it at the same price as pricing goes for an G3.

I always look forward to "You asked." Answers to questions I hadn't even thought of. Thanks Caleb

I wish Sony would just sell me a high end display at a lower price. No speakers, no smart features, no tv tuner. Just a display with inputs.

Black Friday was not the best time to buy a tv last year. I was trying to scoop up a G3 at the end of the year so I was checking Amazon, Best Buy and Walmart religiously. I saw cheaper prices the weeks leading up to Black Friday than I did on Black Friday. I ended up getting my G3 the day after Christmas for 2080. 65 inch. Amazon ended up having the best price. I’m gonna do the same this year with a G4 83”.

An explanation of the HDR creation process would be great.

These are excellent videos, very informative and keeps the community engaged with questions/answers Thank You

BRAVIA 8 is actually a significant improvement over the A80L... its actually 25% to 40% brighter according to Rthings measurements.

Bravia 8 is about 30% thinner and the same for bezel width. It has a redesigned aluminium bezel and the eco remote is rechargable with USB C. Netflix calibrated mode is already on A80L but it is coming to amazon prime on new models. "Bravia" series FY24 models also have a new mediaTek SoC which should allow for faster app switchin and handeling as well as HDMI+KZfaq split screen (same platform as A95L)

Thank you Caleb!

Costco also has the A80L on sale also, 2699.00. For the 77”..you also get the nicer all metal remote and extra 3 years of warranty..

Will watch the video later. But to give my experience upgrading from LG C2 to G4, whilst I went to a G3, not a G4, it was worth it. The C2 is still a great TV. But noticeable positive difference going to the G3.

White balance on A80L was pretty cold (blue overpresented). Calibrating this led too worse overal brightness because blues had to be turned down. Bravia 8 supposedly has better white balance and brightness. Taking into account the calibration with this A80L this could actually be more of 20% increase after calibration. Tests should confirm this by Rtings.

I so don't care about TV speakers that I bought the Sony A75L for $500 less than A80L. For me, picture quality is more important than speakers, same exact picture for a lot less money. Already had a Sony sound bar!

Caleb - appreciate you taking my question on TV speakers. I agree with your answer but I do like the option for higher end displays to have the same display and processing with basic speakers for those who will use in a home theatre setup or have a nice soundbar ready to go. Even if it’s not much cheaper, it’s smaller, lighter and more compact. That is something I have appreciated from Sony going back decades when they do that. Love these videos and the thought/care you put into your responses :)

Please do the Bravia 9 review in HDR 😘

Virtual Japan is another HDR creator on KZfaq. In fact, I see their videos used quite frequently as store demos for 4k HDR TVs…

Caleb, do you recommend a video or website with the best calibration specs for Samsung S90C? Thanks if you see this, Thanks for the videos if you don't. Love your vids!

I would like to see what is involved in HDR content production, Caleb. Thank you!

I got C3, but within 30 days returned to bestbuy and got G3 65” LG. The G3 65” LG are very well made. Great picture quality. I am using RCF ART 915-AX speakers’ bluetooth, but also using PreSonus 16.0.2 mixer. The sound from RCF ART 915-AX speakers are bigger and sound quality far better than the sound bar.

I got a Phillips 908 apart from having a great picture quality the sound by bowers and Wilkins is enough for the room and I don’t need external sound.

why buy an A80L instead of Bravia 8 if Bravia 8 has a new processor and brighter and new calibrator?

If you got a Sony, there's a feature called white offset, just add 7 to each pixel. If you run your computer with the movie, windows HDR calibration helps alot. Like a gtx 2070 only runs at 10bit while a 3080 runs at 12bit. So you cut off the invisible sruff and it packs the center of the signal to snot. You can clearly see just what they were up to, all settings at +3, always 60hz 444.

I recently purchased a Sony A95L, previously I had a Sony A1 (A1E in the us), the first sony Oled tv from 2017, and though the difference in picture quality is huge in my opinion especially from a tv geek/cinema enthusiast viewpoint, however I would argue from the average customers viewpoint probably not that much. Also keep in mind that these sets are 6 years apart from eachother moreover the A95L uses a QD-OLED panel which is really the most meaningful upgrade in my opinion. Based on this experience and regarding the C2 to G4 upgrade I hardly think there would be a big difference in terms of picture quality.

Caleb I have to agree about the TV speaker question ⁉️ I wish we were given a choice. Hey a much better processor and just standard speakers or even no speakers vs a higher price tag because Onkyo or someone else needs to put their name on a TV to sell. Bottom line I can buy even a basic sound bar and blow away TV speakers for less money. 😳🤔

Bagged a A80L for $1700 around memorial day! I think it was a great deal given how Sony TVs are priced at a premium compared to the competition.

Nah, not worth upgrading, keep the A80L, or just go to the A95L if you must upgrade...

I'm considering upgrading from my 2-year-old side-lit 50" LG QNED TV to a 65", possibly OLED (plan to wait for a big sale, though). My current choices are the two you mentioned, the LG G4 and the Sony Bravia 8. Have you done (or will you) a comparison between those two models?

I would love to see a HDR explainer, the technology and requirements behind it always fascinates me

Thank you addressing that on-board audio question. It's important to me. Don't know how it became the norm to buy a sound bar with each television purchase. On a side note, the 2.1.2 system on the Hisense U8N - 2 firing down and one subwoofer...but where are the remaining 2 placed, and in what direction are they firing? Gotta know.

Hi Caleb, long time follower, thanks for your reply

So I got the LG OLED CX 55-inch TV, and I guess upgrading would be great, right? What are the differences, and what do those AI features in the LG G4 do? Also, should I buy it now or wait for Black Friday? I don't know if the LG OLED G4 will sell out quicker than the 2020 LG OLED CX.

Regarding the green grass question, on Samsung QLEDs you may also want to check the “Colour Space Settings” which are in the picture mode expert settings. The Native setting will give very green greens but the Auto setting looks more realistic.

A video about HDR video workflow would be really cool. If someone could figure out how to decrease the work required to make one it would be great. So many people watch on phones, hdr capable tvs and monitors and tablets it would make for a huge improvement

On the KZfaq HDR topic, a ton of devices still don't even properly support it. For example, I still use an Nvidia Shield Pro, as it's still the best way for be to playback my Plex library. However it does not support HDR on KZfaq at all.

Caleb, why can't you talk the manufacturers into just selling a good soundbar with the TV instead of them having to manufacture in built-in speakers? Better yet, why not have the TV manufacturers have top notch full length soundbars prebuilt in under the bottom of the bezel areas? And, the bottom of these prebuilt in soundbars could have screw in mounting positions for wide flat plate TV stands?

Bravia 8 > Slight glow-up in looks en build. Better whites and peak nits. And extra speakers in the screen. So its a small bump indeed.

When are you going to review the new Sony Bravia 7, 8 & 9 series?

Speaking of HDR, here's another thing about HDR. Even if Linux users currently have a monitor that supports HDR10+, there is HDR in some desktop environments such as KDE and System76's COSMIC desktop environment, it's still experimental. I do not like to bore anyone with technical jargon, but in KDE, to get HDR, a user must switch over to Wayland. However, I do use applications that do not support Wayland at all and with NVIDIA GPU, I get terrible flickering during Zoom calls, so I have to switch back to X11/Xorg. What is Wayland, X11/Xorg, and display server? I will leave you to do some research on that as I do not want to bore anyone with technical jargon. But do know that it will take a while before HDR becomes a standard in Linux.

I have a Samsung QN900B and I know what the first question is talking about. It's not the Color Temperature, It's the Color Space. Change the Color Space from Native to Auto and it will fix the green and red oversaturation. Or…if you are in HDR change the Color Space to Custom and under Custom change the Color Space to BT 2020.

Can I use the BRAVIA Theater Bar 9 on the new LG G4 OLED ? I’m upgrading from c1 to the LG OLED G4 …

Caleb missed one important point answering the first question: There's equal chance that the video source might be bad to begin with. Some older HDR videos from even J+K have that issue. You just cannot fix that without screwing you picture entirely. My 2 cents of advice would be as first step is to check other videos showing grassy land and trees and see if that's also as bad as the sports ground. If you see that unnatural green everywhere, then only you need to tweak you settings.

Can you do the Bravia XR A95L vs another high I love my Bravia 95 is got a gorgeous picture I think it’s better then LG pled G models it’s smoother to use and the settings are better pictures looks cleaner etc

Still running my 75 inch TV from 2018 in the living room as my main set. I couldn't imagine changing out a TV after just 2 or 3 years at this point. I'm sure when I do something probably in a year or two that it will be a nice upgrade from what I have now.

The trouble with youtube and HDR, is that youtube does not support dolby vision, so any HDR youtube video marked as dolby vision is in fact HDR10

Hey Caleb, your hint about the upcoming Bravia Theatre Quad a few of these ago, saved me from acting too early and making a mistake! I have them installed now as of this past Friday -- I didn't pick up a sub yet in the hopes that maybe Sony might update their wireless sub line, but worst case scenario I'll hold out for a good discount.

As far as speakers go I use the tv speakers and a sub woofer. The full sound works for me.

hi loved the answers you have given us for our different needs and questions. my question is which would be a better tv (gaming and movies) Bravia 7 mini led or lg c4. typically in a dark room and only at 55 inch at most ? I would to hear your answer both from Caleb and the community according to their experience

Regarding LG C2 to G4: Might another option be to wait for the new G4 technology to trickle down to a future version of the C-series?

A HDR creation video would be fantastic!

Howdy! I wouild love to see HDR videos or at least when you make that video about HDR, make sure to master it in HDR! :D

At least HDR for flagship TVs a huge perception missing without HDR, especially with Samsung and iPhone EOTF are accurate!

I have a 75 inch Sony 950H and I love the picture quality. Do you think it’s worth the upgrade. I mean do you think there is a significant difference compared to today’s mini led?

Question: When are the reviews for the new Sony soundbars coming? And hope you have a wonderful vacation!

I would definitely like to see content about creating hdr content!

I’m been looking at new TVs and was debating between A80l 65" and B8 65" thxs this was the video I was looking for I have a 1080p 32" tv so it’s going to be a big upgrade for me

Where is the s90d review

Hey Caleb. What about all the amazing new audio features that are supposed to come with these new Bravias??? Why wasn’t that in the comparison to the A80L. There was all this talk about “VOICE BOOST 3” or some name like that. Also the Sony U that hangs around the neck. That’d be great for my parents. These new upgrades you talked about at ces should have also been mentioned in this video. I think those are a pretty big deal and should not have been skipped over.

Hey Caleb, just want to say I appreciate all your videos. Your videos are awesome. Just have a quick question. I’ve been looking to see if someone has reviewed the Roku TV Pro series which has been out for a few weeks now. Just wondering why no one has made an official review on it. To me it looks like a more affordable version of the frame TV but seems like it has better specs than the frame TV. I’m really excited about it. I’m just wondering why no one has made any reviews on it yet. Please make a review I would greatly appreciate it thank you for everything. Oh, One more thing I’m not trying to sound like a conspiracy theorist but is there a possibility that there is some pushback going on from maybe the company or the industry that’s causing lack of reviews of the TV itself just curious thanks again.

Unfortunately the G4 has got a very distracting silver bezel which is ease to see....

Is a80L tv IMAX certified. , Disney+ DTS sound does not work for me. Goes to atmos auto

The HDR video related question was ultra superficial and rather snobbish and pretentious. YT is not the source of exemplary videos to test your TV's caliber. Try 4K Bluray physical disc to know your TV's true potential.

I'm looking forward to the HDR how to video so I can dabble 👌

Please do a HDR video That would be awesome Great channel, BTW

@gertost Hopefully we will see electroluminescent displays in a few years, so if you have an OLED, I'd recommend hanging on to it. That will be the "next big change."

What TV is at 5:14?! I need that exact stand style for my space & will buy that TV just for that.

Quick question guys: Should I buy the new Bravia 8 or the carryover Bravia A95L from last year?

Should i go with the sony x77l or the bravia 3 ?

I would love to see more detail about HDR. Decent quality HDR can look as though you’re staring through a window compared to SDR which will always appear less than ultra-real. My father in law bought a 13” OLED iPad Pro and the quality of the HDR image, even on KZfaq was mind blowing, for someone who’d never experienced before. You could say it was a “Holy Toledo” moment… 😊

+1 for the HDR request!

How does the Samsung 83" S90C compare to Sony's 83" A80L?

How about if its worth upgrading a c1 to c4? I noticed the xbox is showing a warning of increased latency using dolby vision gaming on the c1 but not seem to see it in reviews of c2 onwards. Is it a c1 limitation or is an xbox bug towards the c1?

They should make speaker delete models for cheaper

E uma pena que a Sony não está mais no Brasil

Yes please all things in Hdr

Do you prefer Oled or Mini LED ? Overall ?

Will there ever be a tv that can improve the picture by decompressing the picture

I've often wondered about the lack of HDR in more videos. Had no idea it was any more involved to produce. Thought it was just a setting to switch on your camera or something, but maybe it made for a bigger file and therefore longer upload times. I'd love to see a video on what goes into making a good HDR video.

Samsung is garbage. They have brightness but bad motion and neon colors that just blur together (because of the terrible motion processor)

I finally can recommend the G4, having just replaced a Samsung led that drove me nuts with issues. It’s enough of a difference from our C3 to notice, and appreciate. Definitely worth the price. Now we have three new LG OLEDS, and enough first world guilt to last a lifetime. 👍🤪🏳️‍🌈

Question for a future video : if i don't care about brightness but about picture quality witch oled tv should i buy ,i doesn't matter if it's a few years old

Thats because Samsung sucks! Got the Sony A80L and i absolutely love it

Would you recommend upgrading from a g3 to the g4?

Is it worth upgrading from a tcl 6 series 2021 model google tv 75in, is it worth upgrading to a qm8 85in

I wanna see a sample of auto exposure record :D

I upgraded from the C2 to the C4 extremely happy with my choice

Have any of these TVs got a gigabit ethernet port yet?

Can you guys review the Philips ambilight 50”?

HDR KZfaq video's seem a good idea, provided you are not the one trying to achieve perfection. Added to that the device you are watching on will if not calibrated add or subtract from the final image. I have both 1440p and 4K monitors that both despite calibration look different when fed with the same SD content By the time you include the limits of KZfaq then HDR is just not worth the hassle, time and expense.

I would rather the TV companies focus on making good TVs then fiddle with crappy speakers. It makes zero sense to have a top end TV with crappy speakers, when a good sound bar/sub can be had for relatively cheap by comparison. Also, c'mon, if you're the type of person who is buying a high end TV, you are doing you're research, and are going to quickly realize a solid 3.1 setup with AVR will make a sound bar also make very little sense.

Oled in a bright room ?

4:38 - Spending $2000+ on a TV and THEN being asked for another $1000+ for a soundbar is assinine to me ESPECIALLY when 75% of the TV "sound" is PEOPLE TALKING. If I need external sound for some youtube music videos I'll just plug in my JBL L-100s that I've had since 1977. LOL

Listen to this guy, upgrading from C2 to G4 isn't really worth it unless you have a tons of cash to burn. Store display loop video specifically made to WOW customers, but if you tried the same content to your c2 when you get back home, you will then realized C2 still looks good as well.
