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???

Well said my friend! Thank you for being here

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

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

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.

You quickly get used to the bad, just like the good. How poorly it is visible only when comparing head-to-head kzfaq.info/get/bejne/atKIY5Bnx9XOpmQ.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

Tv of the Year! But on dark room Oled always gonna be better! !!! ❤FOMO❤

Fomo you have amazing tvs.

​@@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 🤤🤤🤤

I'm so glad you enjoyed it! Thank you so much, and welcome to the community and family

Awesome! Thank you so very much!

So glad you enjoyed my friend

Ace and Gary?

Thank you so much and thank you for being here my friend.

Thank you so much John!! Much love!

@leo7onfire Yeah, it's gonna come down to seeing in person then deciding. Tough part is actually waiting for the Bravia9

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.

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.

Maybe you dont want to be sold, OLed cannot property display shadow details in very dark scenes, enjoy your black crush.

seeing that he is avoiding to answer this probably means that it will be 2 hours talking about it and no tv on hand

smart consumer

1600 cash back from were?​@@eman1549

The pleasure is mine Chad!! I'll be checking out my U8N today!

I wish you fun with your mirror OLED Displays!

Indeed it has to be competitive. Thing is 77 G4 will be cheaper later on whereas 83” bit more expensive

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.

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

My U8N arrives tomorrow!

Same here. Waiting on U8N reviews...

@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!

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

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

Bravia 9 has higher price than LG G4 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 KZfaq 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.

How's the LG C3 for gaming?

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.

65' at 9 feet and 77' 10.8 feet 😉

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.

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.

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.

I believe they have stopped using the master series tag, my friend. In theory the A95L wasn't called a master series

@@BRIANSTECHTHERAPY interesting, in the UK it is still labelled as master series. I hope they keep the master series quality. I love my x95k but there was something extra special about the zf9

@ammankalyan7460 I hear ya! We will see very soon. Thanks for watching

Micro led tv is AMAZING!!!!

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.
