Such a great discussion guys. So informative. Please continue doing these videos. I personally love it. Im sure your subscribers agree with me.

I was really nervous before buy the B9 (screen uniformity), but all nerves dissipated within the first hour of viewing and testing, I'm truly blown away. Thanks for the video guys 👍🏼

I bought the Bravia-9 in 85 inch with the Sony BRAVIA Theatre Quad and am absolutely thrilled. The Picture of the Bravia 9 is magnificent in combination with the BRAVIA Theatre Quad, Movies and PS5 Games are outstanding and an incredible experience.

Thank you both for another excellent discussion on one of the hottest TVs for the 2024 model year! You are a great TV experts by yourselves and you make a great team that gives everyone who watches this video everything anyone would want to learn about Sony's new flagship BRAVIA 9 QD MiniLED TV.

Love hearing you guys' discussions, you can review a TV and thats fine, but hearing these long detailed discussions with two people who really know what they are talking about but are also comfortable with each other to just shoot the breeze, you can really learn so much more. Thanks for all the time you put in.

Was between the B9 and G4. After much deliberation I chose the 77” G4 for viewing angle and, (here’s the kicker) because the G4 actually ended up being several hundred dollars cheaper than the B9 through the LG Partner store plus Memorial Day discount when I bought it.

Hello Brian, this is Michael. It was great meeting you and FOMO at MWAVE last weekend. You gave me some great advice regarding my JVC NZ8 vs. the 97" LG G2 OLED. The Bravia 9 is genuinely a top-tier performer in 2024; it would be my choice if I wasn't such a fan of OLED. Thanks again and keep up the great work!

Thanks Brian and FOMO

My Bravia 9 is the best TV I've ever owned, and I say that as having owned 4 OLEDs including the A95L. Bravia 9 just has a beautiful, bright picture with amazing contrast. As someone who is very much into TVs and technology, it's the best TV on the market today.

I’m extremely happy with mine , ❤

I have seen a test from Bravia9, I am glad I bought the LG G4. I have a PS5 and play Call of Duty in 1440 in 120 hertz, Bravia 9 does not support 1440, higher input level. 2 HDMI 2.1 ports, vieuwngangel les, sometimes blooming, so the total package is simply better, the G4.

Bravia 9 looked pretty good in person. 7/10. Feels like a $2500 TV at most.

I wish this was in 100 inches.

I finally got to see a Bravia 9 today... Color me impressed. Since I'm not working as a Sony rep anymore, I won't get to play with it. However, I was quite impressed with what I got to see from the Sony Demos. The white text on a black background was absolutely impressive. Yes, I could see some blooming, but it was extremely minimal! And this was on store demo mode. This thing is a beast!

Real good points about the basic image processing for just handling brightness. 4K means around 8 million pixels. That is a lot to manage and keep straight. That digital information has to be turned into real world physical results. You can just move the LCD pixels, you also have to light them. Trying to sync up 8 million pixels with thousands of individual LED lights, and then managing the brightness of each one, potentially at upwards of 120 changes per second, that's like trying to conduct the worlds largest symphony! It's such an ambitious idea alone, and amazing what modern TV tech is able to produce. Local diming zones are a great compromise when you can't get as much fine grain control of each LED at such high sync rates. But they are still no substitute for the LEDS themselves, if Sony is able to get better control of each LED with finer grain brightness, then diming zones become less significant. Great discussion.

Great show guys!!! As Always.

Future Proof is not really a thing anymore with how fast tech is changing...I thought 8K was future proofing ... I owned both a 75" Z8H and now a 85" Z9K 😅. But I bought them for their peak brightness and picture quality Z8H @ 2500 nits and the Z9K @ 3500-4000 nits...8K was just something additional 🤔

100” Bravia 9 would be a dream

Buyers are ready and waiting for a 98” and larger B9 with the Pentonic 800 chip. Looks like we will have to be patient until 2025 or later.

@BRIANSTECHTHERAPY hi Brian, im looking at the sony Bravia 9 85 inch and samsung qn90d 98 inch. They are at the same price at the moment and just wondering your thoughts on getting the best tv the B9 or getting a good tv qn90d at 98 inches. I watch all types of content. I love good picture quality but is bigger always better?

Brian, qn900d or bravia 9 if they were the same price and you had to watch in a living room with canned lights on 70% of the time???

Brian, it was great meeting you at MWAVE. The wife and I are looking to get the G4. She had a high opinion of it over the others. Feels good to step up with the Highfalutin folks!😂

Thanks for the great work Fomo and Brian. Off topic but has samsung display stopped production of 2nd Gen qd oled Panels yet? Any chance A95L 77inch will have the 3rd Gen panel if purchased by say Nov, Dec 2024?? Thanks.

I really like this TV

Hey Guy's! The 98in Sony went on sale this morning, just as you guy's said it would during MWave...And yes, I placed the order and waiting for it's arrival... It's a good thing I watched and helped set-up the 98in display...That thing is heavy...Lol!

Who best tv 8k. Z3 or Z9K or q900d ?

Brian or FOMO does the Bravia 9 have to ability to be used as a center speaker with a avr like the A95L? I’m getting a Sony 13.2 receiver and it has the option (with the right tv) to use the tv speakers as a center high channel. Thanks <a href="#" class="seekto" data-time="2820">47:00</a>

Brian and Fomo do u have Soundbars who works well with Sony TVs, is Samsung recommended with A95L? After beeing disappointed by the A5000, which Soundbar company u recommend with the A95L? I want to avoid Lyp Sync Issues and other Problems

Anyone dismissing it as old technology. Do they also dismiss the 140 year old combustion engine Hyper cars that beat any other cars out there? Is a Jet fighter/plane outdated because it still uses jet engines? OLED is great but it is not perfect either. It's that simple.

Bryan, sounds like you prefer a 85” Bravia 9 over your 83” A80L? I’m torn between the two. Movies, then Sports are my priorities. 😊

Just grabbed the 85" B9 for $3700, really hope I've made the right choice. Upgrading from an LG CX, really want some extra brightness. Cheers for the vid mate 👌

Remaster KONG SKULL ISLAND. Specular highlights would be amazing.😊

Yall ask how many dimming steps, or step equivalent the reference monitor has?

Very good discussion Brian you and Fomo really brought up some good points about the Sony Bravia tv

Brian did hit the nail on the head - on majority of scenes oled was looking brighter - only in very few when content indeed was pushing hard B9 was brighter. Let’s not forget better Oled contrast will make brightness seem higher even though being same - it’s not that Oled was brighter, it looked brighter - that’s what infinite contrast does. So b9 in given sizes is simply no go over similar Oled sizes.

At the same price for a single set in a bright living room would you take an 85 B9 or 98 QM8?

The Samsung Terrace TV hits 1500 nits at 100% window. They are designed for outdoor viewing.

Thanks ... But, i shall wait for the A95M (or whatever its going to be called) which should come equiped with the new MediaTek Pentonic chip (4x 2.1 hdmi) and a (brighter) 3rd gen QD oled panel 🤠

Bravia 9 king of TVs this year to me I think Bravia 9 beats G4 but it's unfortunate only 2 HDMI2.1, but if I am buying this year it would be Bravia 9 for PC maybe 240hz IPS or OLED monitor

Can you test the game pc with rtx hdr ? Please so i know the nits of the tv in game mode

FOMO after purchasing the reference monitor 😂😂😂😂 what a legend

Where did you get the price on the 85" Bravia 9? I just looked it up and it was $4,800 at B&H and Best Buy. That's $1k more than you quoted.

I still have my Sony 65” HX 900 from 2011 and Maybe this Bravia 9 is better. No other TV’s are!

Projector crowd salivating for 98” + Bravia 9. Yeah that’s future proofing. And it will have the Pentatonic 800 chip 👍🏻

Wanna see the deal😊

Hi Brian, i got my new Sony 83" A80l on wendsday. I've been setting it up. It's so bright I've got it turned down to O or 10% brightness. I haven't gotten to try out my xbox on it yet.

YAY! FUTURE PROOF IS THE FUTURE, not the present??

I like both channels, and helped me decided to have the Sony Bravia 9 K-85XR90, and I’m satisfied, but not very impressed by any TV, including this.

Do you guys have an educated guess if we will see a QD Oled bigger than 77” next year?

And next year Sony will bring out a new OLED and call it their flagship.

Great Video the Bravia 9 is revolutionary. Especially the 85inch!

Sony 98” TV on sale for $5K today.

it's a $1500 difference, not $1600. The Bravia 9 is $4800 not $4700. Still a big difference but just wanted to clairfy.

Hi guys , future proof ? I do believe that has ' left the building ' !! My 11 year old Samsung has an ' Expansion / Update port ' and they offered an update card in 2014 for users to update if they wish . I did not , and glad I didn't !! My last update was to the very basic Tizen OS in 2016 and all that did was remove the Smart Hub . I guess I need not complain , however my search for a suitable replacement goes on !!

So we need a TV with a Sony processor, a QD-OLED panel with MLA gen 3

do y’all recommend switching from the Sony x85j to the a90k? Anyone?

Do you think Sony will release a ~98” Bravia 9 next year?

If it’s true that 2025 Sony’s will have 4 x HDMI 2.1 ports, I’ll keep my A95L for another year. Def thinking about Mini LED for next year though.

Bravia 7 and 9 have the same master drive same LEDs it doesn't have the wide angel or the peak luminous and the contrast is less otherwise it's the same . The Sony guys talked about this. The biggest difference are the dimming zones.

It’s so annoying we can’t get the 65” in the uk

no 4000 nits. Liars

Do you think the Bravia 9 will come in 98" next year?

Thanks very helpful. Appreciate it.

Future proof? What tv is really future proof Brian when every year the manufacturers drop something new? Something they say is an upgrade and on and on. Sony and Samsung said that QD OLED was future proof and then they turn around and pretty much dump QD OLED and now are going with Mini LED as their top tier tv's. Give me contrast and black levels over a tv that burns the hell out of my eyes. Everyone is NIT crazy when it comes to tvs now days that its laughable. I have said it a million times and that is Mini LED will never beat OLED because LED is still LED no matter how you cook it or hype it. I will never go back to LED. Now when Micro LED hits? Maybe but thats years down the road. Otherwise its OLED or nothing.

Can you please address the dirty screen effect that appeared on the 65-inch Bravia 9 that Rtings said was mediocre. They gave it a poor rating. The picture they showed of that was pretty bad. I ordered one for my daughter's family and it's coming in 10 days and I am concerned. For the money i would have expected better panel quality. Thanks.

Right now larger mid range is best value if you're mostly streaming because of compression, upscaling, etc still being a huge issue in the US as far as getting everything out of your screen. These greedy wifi and streaming companies may one day keep up with the tech but we'll also be paying the price. 🤦

$1599 75" Sony X90L vs $1699 55" Sony Bravia 7, so which one for the living room? Both look good in the store with 4k demo. Off axis test in the store didn't bother me. We need much more 4k content, that's the best cure all.

The Sony Bravia 9 looks like a great tv for an astronomical price. No thanks! I wish you guys would make 3 or 4 more videos about the Samsung QN90D. Affordable, bright, colorful, reliable, and by Nov-Feb it will be very affordable (compared to Sony).

It is far from future proof, a better Soc is due for 2025 models that will support all Hdmi's at 2.1. There will always be one feature that requires upgrading.

s95d king this year

If you’re gonna charge a premium price, every mode should work properly. That includes BFI, even if 95% of people don’t use it. Maybe next year.

It's definitely not a flagship, Sony are taking the piss.... It's just a glorified LCD TV not a flagship....

Oh wow 3 seconds of lesser picture of quality. How would I ever survive that??

The best overall tv this year is still the G4. It can work well in both light and dark in the same room. Most people wanting the best of both worlds will choose G4.

Neither. Only in the realm of mini-led. Oled still best.

Sony settled with 2000 dimming zones but is trying to achieve 8000 zones. Once Sony achieves 8000 zones in next year or two, the. It really will rival or surpass an OLED tv.

Go QD-OLED, never go back!!

2 hdmi 2.1 ports makes it a non starter. TV box and soundbar is 2, nothing left for gaming.

I Respectfully have to say this: The Bravia 9 is not the better TV. You guys are saying all these technical details......but in the end..... ........Does the image suck you in? Are you mesmerized by the picture? I spent 2 hours in Bestbuy comparing the Bravia 9 against all the best TVs ... G4, S95D, S90, A95L....and my conclusion is: The Bravia 9 compared to the top performing OLEDs.......the OLEDs pictures sucks you in with their 3D image, rich colors, contrast, and inky blacks. The Bravia 9 picture looks flat....... it doesn't have that OLED pop either when it comes to colors. And I'm sorry to all those people who recently bought the Bravia 9, because you got suckered into the Sony hype on their TVs and you overpaid for a TV.......so don't try to justify your poor purchase decision. Being a Brighter TV doesn't equal better.....nope!

I'll tell what the probably the perfect TV is .. Give me a B9 with the LG QNED89T 98" panel! Sony should be able to get away with that for no more than $10,000 .. And it would sell! Possibly creating enough demand to bring the price down a few thousand in time ..

B9 = Blooming opening menus (local dimming if turned off for some reason) annoying. Viewing angle on B9 is poor and you see blooming in black bars and subtitles easy. So for now I still can't buy it. Back to OLED, paying extra 1000$+ for a OLED with zero blooming is 100% worth it.

$4799 CAD is an insane price

😂😂😂

If Sony would release 90+ B9 then I would be interested- but price would be probably insane. TCL will be eating their lunch. See what LG did with processing yoy, TCL doesn’t need much more to get super close. Amount of sold 90+ inch TVs is growing rapidly. Fast growing market. Sony and Samsung need to wake up.

I feel like Brian and FOMO have like a deal with Sony so now they're gon to praise Sony, that's OK it's part of the business but I don't think the Bravia 9 is the best Tv overall.

At this point the bravia 9 isn't even the brightest mini led TV.

Bravia 9👎👎👎👎

Bravia 9 >>>>>>> OLED
