Great video, I'm a subscriber now. A couple of weeks ago I watched my first HDTV test video and I made a comment that it was too technical for an average user. I was wrong and I sincerely apologize for that remark. I've since learned about HDR, nits, wide color gamut, DCI-P3, IPS vs. VA panels etc. and this channel is arguably the best in breaking down concepts and technologies so that anyone with interest in tv technology can understand them. Judging from the number of views, subscribers and comments people make, the average user of TV sets today is much more tech-savvy and well-informed than, say, 5 years ago and credit probably goes to unbiased expert reviews like this one or rtings. Respect, sir.

Showing the internal processor specs is very helpful! Thank you guys so much. Great review!

Yes, would love to see your review of the Sony X900E also.

Great review, can't wait for X900e review too ;)

This tv is to this day still is an absolute beast, goes to show VA Panels peaked with Sony's models in 2017. Even the most recent Miniled tv's from Samsung mostly are behind this model (Q800NA), only the Samsung NEO QN90A I would consider an upgrade but that one sets you back around 2K Euro's and doesn't even support Dolby Vision. Essentially you still need to buy an OLED or the Q900NA in order to get a better panel than this. If you truly need HDMI 2.1 then the story changes though...

your videos are amazing my friend! Best tv reviews on KZfaq!

Your review particularly with the HDR portion sold this for me. Thank you! Now subscribed.

This was a very comprehensive review. Keep up the good work!

Great review I purchase this over the 900E and the LG OLED. I am very satisfied. This technical review add assurances to my purchase

Many bows to you sir! I have this tv and am thrilled to see such a thorough review (and the tips!). For those interested, the haloing effect is indeed highly exaggerated to prove a point here. It is very slight and does not take me out of the experience.

Thank you for this well-done review. I recently purchased a 65x930e and absolutely love it. That purchase decision was heavily influenced by this excellent and detailed review.

I love that the hardware specs are included

hey bro!!! new sub here, wanted to say you have great-high--level-TV-Tech Reviews!!, loving your channel!

Splendid work! .. I am goining to get this TV soon .. Thank you indeed for this professional review 👍

Awesome review. Keep a good work. Waiting for xe90 review also :)

Just bought it today. Thanks for the detailed info. Will setup and provided my non-profits signal feedback

loved the review. precise and complete. please review sony A1E oled tv soon

great vid, you really know what you're talking about ;) I wish more reviewers went into this amount of detail

i'm looking for a 4k TV right now, your job is very useful to me. The most important thing to me, is the smoothness without handycam feeling.

You've sold me on purchasing the X930E vs their OLED as it isn't in my budget. I'm also purchasing it for the upcoming Xbox one X! Great review!

Wow you are 100% the best tv tester and reviewer! Such a great job, and the test footage was great to see. Looking forward to seeing more reviews

Great video! I have this TV alone with Sony 800 4K Blu-ray player. I see I will have to make some tweaks to it for the best viewing experience. You gave an in depth analysis of this tv. I think you articulated it very well. You sounded like a salesman

Sir, You are doing great job I learn lots of stuff about TVs from your vedios

Thinking this is the one for my PS4 pro. Thank you for a great review. Many bows

That bow :D So cool, another great review. Keep it up and you will be a KZfaq star in the AV community :) I like that you started with an unboxing and setup video earlier so you could collect questions from the comments. Do the same with all TVs

New update has come out March 28th 2018 adds Dolby Vision and improve the TV in motion and mild additional bandage fixes in UK and APAC.

Thank you for sharing your professional expertise on what each product represents!!! It really helps me decide what TV to buy. What about also adding soundbars in the mix? Just a thought!

Thank you. You helped me a lot. The best Pro reviwer for this model on KZfaq

Hi Vincent, really appreciate the work you put into these vids. I am in the process of looking for a new TV. May I ask, what is your daily driver? I guess I can't go wrong buying whatever you use at home

Man these tvs imo had amazing image quality the depth snd richness on the x900 the x930 the z9d and even the a1e and the a9f are just outstanding

Vincent, thank you very much for this review! I’ve picked up mine and I have to say it’s the best television I’ve ever owned. I have had the pleasure of testing LGb7 OLED at my friend’s house prior to buying 930e and I have to say, blacks in 930e are very-very close to LG’s OLED models. But 930e does have more shadow detail compared to OLED. Colours are truly spectacular and vivid! It is correct that blooming effect in this video is exaggerated, it is present and minor, and doesn’t bother me personally. In games like Red Dead Redemption 2 there is no visible blooming past black bars in cinematic scenes. I guess, it depends on the content and sitting position. I have picked up a 15$ LED bias kit from amazon and it works very well! I find 930e to be better, with deeper blacks and contrast than 2018’s 900f. Again, your review was very useful!

Thank you for the review. Liked!! I now own the 930E. How about a calibration tips video for your YT community ?

Excellent review! Enough tech to make concepts understandable, without making the eyes glaze over.

Excellent review, I've been looking at a fair few reviews but this one seals the deal for me. XE900E it is for my Xbox One X & PS4 Pro later this year.

Now, there is a man who knows how to review a TV!

and thank you for your unboxing video, it was a great help 👍

Sold great video. Looking forward to this tv with my ps4 pro

Amazing tv, buyed the 65". Love it

I got this over 900f all around higher peak brightness, more dimming zones and better build all for same price its no brainer IMO.

Excellent review

Hi Vincent - your reviews are excellent so thanks for your presentation. You give enough detail to allow me to understand the advantages and disadvantages of the specific technology without leaving me baffled. I think the Sonys have the edge at the moment for my needs and my prefs would be the x740e for 75" then either the a1e or z9d in 65" sizes. Guess it comes down to pricing too :-) Cheers

great indepth review, thank you sir!

excellent review, cheers dude

Great review! How about the X900E please!

Hi, I was looking for an new TV, in cause of you and your very good reviews I bought a Sony XE93 👍 and your a right, the picture is amazing :), I wanna thank you to help me with the decision cause today it's not even easy to find and buy a good TV, nice greetings

Good video , so now we are all waiting for XE940 and A1 :)

A very informative video, thank you.

3 years after the release and this tv is still a beast! Waiting for something from sony to repleace it with the new hdmi 2.1 features and same or better hdr performance but still nothing comes close. Even things like cable management system is a significant downgrade on their newer tv's comparing to zd9 or xe93. Wish they release something like famous zd9 with 600+ dimming zones and all the hdmi 2.1 features...

More great information! In your opinion, what has a better picture experience and quality, Sony XE93 or the Samsung Q9. Thank You!!

Hey Vincent. I’m thinking about buying this TV in the new year to go with my PS4 pro. Thanks for the great, in depth review of this set, you helped me make my mind up. Any recommendations on settings to get the best out of the PS4 pro with this model? Thanks for your review.

you give nice and detailed reviews..thank you..now i want to buy 65" sony x900f but again i admire x930.which one is better?

Great, thorough review.

What would be the comparison to this tv compared to Samsung

Just hooked up my new 55inch 930E to my oppo 203 and watched Planet Earth 2 in 4k. One word stunning.

Hi Vincent! Great channel and review. Does the 65" have a different number of dimming zones compared to the 55"?

Hello Vincent, Hats off to you sir your reviews are very informative and revealing.Please do the review of Sony XBR-65Z9D. Thnx Bro

Thank you for this video i found very indepth and enlightening i just wish u would do this with alot more tv's for this year which would give you a consistency that we could rely on for deciding on a choice and could count on this site to go too for good comparison's

Very nice review.

You channel is extremely underrated!!! U deserve more subs!!

I bought this 3 years ago and it still blows me away when I watch it. The android update just made it better, and yes the HDR performance even today is spectacular. One area not mentioned is the sound, for a TV like this it sounds excellent, watching sky 4k content with atmos triggers dolby digital plus and it can really throw out sound effects way past its boundaries. Just don't enable youview, it ruins the whole thing!

I love this guy..keep doing this you are the best.

It would be interesting to see a 2018 full hd tv review and if it still relevant over the 4K tv

Hi Steve, great review, got a 65XE93 last week, waiting for delivery day... In the meantime can you please post the picture settings of the XE93 used for the review....? Thanks

Great review! What’s your suggestion of turning on or off the live colour function in the colour sub-menu for viewing HDR movies or SDR general content? Thanks.

Hi There, Your reviews are very informative and are super helpful! I ended up buying the Sony X930e because I was impressed with the image quality and the styling of the TV. Now 3 years later I have a PS5, and I'm trying to use my X930 to it's full capabilities. I understand that this TV is 120hz, but I cannot get the 120 refresh rate to activate on COD Cold War. I have turned off HDR and "forced" the TVs resolution to 1080P. I also set the PS5 on "performance mode". However, I cannot activate the 120hz refresh rate on COD Coldware using my X930e. Is this TV not capable of a 1080p 120Hz refresh rate with the PS5??

Thanks for the video. Quick question. Do you select a TV of the year? Wondering what is your top choice by year.

hello Vincent nice vids and good work so far, And wouldn't be better if they made the led arrangement top to bottom and left to right instead of 2 on top and 2 on bottom which can somewhat reduce the banding i presume. thanks for the effort and tell me how to reduce the haloing from the settings.

This is the best TV reviews channel on youtube. Please one question . If you had to choose between the XE93 65 inch or the OLED LG B7V 55 inch which you would go for please. I watch mostly spacey sci fi movies :)

A man with a High level of Knowledge. His Scientific Guidence will lead people in RIGHT PATH

Coming right up

Great review. Helped me with my decision. Just wondering, with regards to the boss lighting, what makes the ideal lume series so great when compared to the cheaper ones you find on Amazon? The ideal lume pro LEDs for instance is on sale for 249 dollars!

Can you please do a review of the Sony XE9005? I love your reviews!

Waiting for mine to be delivered next week 😁

Hi, thanks for the review. Just wondering if you have seen the lag increase when changing input from 4k to 1080p before. is it common on 4k tv's?

Great review thank you. How will this xe93 handle motion with 1080i content please? The lg c7 is having some trouble there.

Hi Vincent, about your comment on 12:15 "The letterbox bars cannot be truly darkened." Not just for this TV but in general, I wonder, wouldn't it be useful for the user to make letterbox bars be 25% gray, or some customizable level of gray, but not black? I have wondered about that for a long time, even from plasma times. Back then not because of halos or blooming, but to reduce image retention on the plasma panel (so arguably 40-50% could have been better for those cases) Same for the vertical bars when watching 4:3 content. For this TV the reason would be to simply minimize/hide the blooming effect as shown on 4:05, so only for the horizontal letterbox bars. This could be a relatively trivial feature to implement for manufacturers (e.g. much more so than ambilight in the Philips) and I think it would help even when watching with some room light, not only in pitch dark rooms. No idea why it has not been implemented. Do you think intentionally dark grey letterbox bars could be beneficial/detrimental compared to black ones, for this particular TV?

Great review! I am still torn between X930E and LG OLED B7. I watch mostly movies, in a darkened room. However, I have a large collection of regular DVDs that will need to be upscaled. All are letterboxed. The Sony has superior upscaling and HDR according to your bows! But the B7 will give me clean blacks, clean letterbox edges, in a darkened room with no Halo. Which of the two would you recommend for my needs?

How about doing a unboxing and review of the Flagship Z9D/ZD9 series?

It would have been nice to include non-increased ISO footage of the same segments for comparison's sake. Right now it only looks terrible with no way of seeing how it performs in real life (as far as a camera can capture it anyway). How is the dark scene/black barperformance compared to say a UE KS9000 or 8000?

Should I look for a 65 oled or buy this TV? My use is for Netflix in a room that is neither bright or dark

I have an "old" Panasonic TX-P42S10E Plasma and i'm extremely happy with it...the picture-quality...vibrating colours...contrast...motion flow...all is really awesome... :) Is this a good-one to buy? ..."Sony KD-55A1" maybe better than the Sony XE930?or not?

ZD9 review please!!! Great video

Hey Vincent, I'm looking for a new TV and can't decide between the xe93 und the LG C7. Both are at the exact same price, but I'm a little bit concerned about OLED issues like burn in effects and so on. Could you give me an advice which one to choose? Thanks a lot. I love your reviews. Keep it on!

Can we get some love for the 900E? It's a fantastic TV. Lol

Hello Theo, I was wondering, performances, pros and cons are the same for the 55” AND 65”? Thank you in advance

I have just heard about the PKG6.5629.0177NAA update for the 930e causing issues with the local dimming resulting a dark flashes transitioning between scenes or bright light moving around the screen. Have you witnessed this yourself. I'm about 48 hours away from buying this tv and would hate to buy it knowing this is a real issue. Thanks in advance if you address this.

What would you recommend for a living room tv mainly watching tv and movies? Looking at the X900F, X930E or LG B7

My tv stand is in front of the closet mirror sliding door. If I use the ideal Lume Lighting, would it work? Or should I get A1E?

Sir should I buy this tv now? Or should i opt for other options?

Which Tv is better for Gaming? The XE93 or the LG C7 / B7?

Vincent is a god amongst tv reviewers

tell me best tv to buy

I want to buy a Sony. Im looking at the XE9005 an the XE9305. Wich one do you preffer.

how does this compare to the Z9D from 2016?

LG OLED B7 and this Sony XE93, which one is better to buy?

how does this compare to the newer tvs like the x950h, because it seems like the picture quality is the same and they keep getting less bright over time.

can you help me? I don't know what to decide between the Sony x900e or the x930e? I wanna know what has the best gaming, movie, tv cable, sports, the whole 9 yards.. please and thank you, your channel is great 👍

Vincent I need your professional advice. I have the 930E and the new Sony 4K X800 player. I was wondering which device will do the best 4K upscaling the 4K player or the TV? I see you praised the upscaling on the tv since it has the X1 extreme chip. But which would give me the best picture quality? I have my Yamaha receiver set to pass through so that the receiver doesn't do any upscaling and the Sony 4k uhd player upscaling to off. I did pay about 3k so something tells me not to use any other device to let it upscale but use the x1 extreme chip processor to upscale everything since that's the reason why I got the tv for its processor but like I said is it really any better then using the receiver or 4K player upscaling processing instead? I learned that even tho the signal says 1080p on tv it's still technically being upscale by tv in 4k otherwise my 1080p picture wouldn't fit the entire screen. So am I doing the right thing by letting the x1 extreme processor do the work or should I let the receiver or 4k player do it for me? Btw I have the Yamaha Rx-v681 it will support Dolby vision soon via firmware. I think it will also be great if you do a video explaining how upscaling works I think most people are confused by it. Great videos vin keep it up.

@hdtvtest at this point with the announcement of the new cheaper Sony OLED’s and x900F, would you wait until March to see the results of those models, or would you go for the X900E or X930E at the lower prices available today. And if so which model do you recommend? Which model has had less complaints about in 2017?

which one is the best OLED tv 2017 SONY OLED or LG OLED can you replay Sir......?
