[@steadychaosproductions3376]

awesome TV. With the advances sony is making in their backlight tech right now, the X95M is going to be truly special.

[@FPSWizard]

I’ve had this for a couple months now. Truly amazing. Coming from a 77” OLED. I wanted larger than 83” and smaller than 98”. This beauty is amazing. 90% to OLED blacks. Color reproduction is best in class. If you’re on the fence, don’t be. It’s gorgeous and so clear as well 😊

[@THK619]

Same scenario as me. I looked for every excuse I could not to like this and tv and return it. But couldn’t find one.

[@alanclark9000]

Nobody's on the fence about OLED being better than a led TV. Even some plasmas did better then mini led tvs. Don't listen to this guy and if you wanna go for size, just wait for oled to be bigger. Oh wait, there is none already out

[@AndrasMihalyi]

@@alanclark9000 OLED is better in contrast ratio. Brightness ? XL95L is 3.5 x brighter on a 100% window than a A95L (750 vs 215 nits). Durability (burn in) ? Sony Mini LEDs are better. A LED won't auto dimm the picture either to "protect itself". So "better" is a strong word to use, so to quote you: "don't listen to this guy". Decide, what's the most important to you and decide for yourself.

[@nimblegoat]

@@alanclark9000 I was wanting my next TV to be OLED , but Sonys flagship X95M this year should be spectacular , and if they do a 98" model - that will look great. Still let's see the Sony price . Saying OLED is best is wrong , horses for courses. If this guy watches with the room bright, then the black levels will appear near perfect. If someone watches Fox all day to get their daily dose of calmness , then this TV would be better if they fear burn in ( burn in doesn't have to happen , just fear needs to happen ) . I get your passion, but most TVS now at a certain price range a great for consuming media and gaming. That's why channels that give a realistic advice are great for the average joe . I see people screaming Sonys A95L is so much better than other TVs , that the other TVS are just dull and junk. Even reviewers say some diff is only obvious in side by side comparison. Plus images get processed by brains to make snow whiter etc

[@hclandscapes]

@@AndrasMihalyi trust me this tv is no match for the A95L . When I set up the X95L I was hugely disappointed, don’t believe the hype/ reviews. This tv is not comparable with the A95L Oled .

Great video as usual can you please post the model of the mount you use? I wonder if the heat from the TV will affect the temperature that the thermostat is reading since it’s so close. Those thermostats can be pretty sensitive and it might cause false home temperature readings.

[@jamesbost4755]

I like the technique of having the dust bin just below as you drill the hole in the wall. Not only does it save time cleaning up later but probably catches more debris that way.

[@jimdiet8534]

Actually a small shop vac with a longer hose is what is needed. This way you get 100% of the dust.

Finally he got his hands on Sony X95L, a bit late than never. Wish you compare it to other Mini LED TVs.

Man I wish you could get a top-line OLED or mini-LED in 98-100” already, at a price of $10K or less. It’s frustrating to not have that option for a home theater room.

[@tigerbalm666]

Suggestion for owners, USE A Mount that pivots and swivels! Thtne you can pull it outwards to plug cables or rotate the screen. You will thank me later!

[@BTheInstaller]

He wanted the tight look. And most homeowners don't really go back there once it's ups. But I do prefer arm style mounts myself.

I was going to order this TV but may wait since it seems the 2024 replacement will be even better with Sony focused on Mini LED.

[@Papilo805]

Nice set and clean install. I’ve picked up my TV set and I’m very satisfied with the sound and image, specially when I play call of duty. I had to have everything Sony to only use one remote. Here’s my setup below; Sony TV XR-65A95K OLED Sony Sound Bar HT-A7000 Sony wireless subwoofer SA-SW5 Sony rear wireless speakers SA-RS5 Cheers.

[@techsamurai11]

This video made me do another comparison of my 1,000 nit full window OLED laptop and my 2014 Sony IPS Edge-lit LED. I repeat IPS Edge-lit vs a reference level brightness OLED. I picked an OLED demo as always (Max Chambliss' comparison of the A95k, A90J, and X95k). The results make so little sense that I've asked a dozen people to compare the IPS and OLED. Since the comparisons are done during the day, they all think the IPS is OLED as there's no visible difference unless you really hunt for it in some scenes and still it won't tell you enough. In a pure dark room, the IPS cannot match the blacks of the OLED or come close at least not without bias lighting but I wouldn't say it was unwatchable or not high-end. The rest of the image was as punchy as the OLED coming alive to nearly the same level which is really impressive considering that the OLED has a massive contrast advantage and should punch more. I kept looking at the bright objects in the center of the screen and they looked identical. In not a pure dark room (evening or nighttime), the IPS is 98% of the OLED as blacks become inky on the Sony. During the day, the IPS is indistinguishable from the OLED as human eyes are unable to perceive contrast ratio in black especially with other colors! So the X95L is probably impossible to tell apart from Sony's reference monitor which also does 1,000 nits full window as Vincent Teoh showed. No one here would be able to tell the 2 apart in a bilnd test.

[@richardwestmoreland4796]

I agree that with a good IPS panel TV’s that are not of the OLED variety can be every bit as good for picture quality in a test where the TV’s being tested are not side by side and you can pick out the subtle differences between the two. I’m looking at a tv from Hisense that has an IPS panel capable of streaming at 144 kHz that is a full array mini-led that Hinsense and several reviewers have conservatively rated at a minimum of 600 nits of brightness with no blooming. Hisense and TCL are doing a great job with their mini-led TV’s as they try to increase their market share by giving consumers a very high quality tv at a price point that is considerably lower than the big three of Sony,Samsung,and LG. Those three manufacturers undoubtedly make some of the best televisions money can buy but there is a whole other market for people who want a high quality television without having to take out a second mortgage on their home. Thus enters the likes of Hisense and TCL. If money was taken out of the equation I might purchase a tv from one of the big three that the wealthy seem to be so enamoured with but I have other interests besides tv that I prefer to use my expendable income on so I can see myself buying a tv from a manufacturer that more closely matches my income. Hisense here I come.

[@davidt8438]

So many people say the won’t use or don’t like using the plastic covers for the plugs and ports on the back. Everyone knows how dirty and dusty the back of a tv gets. TVs attract dust because of the static from the electronics and the covers stop the dust from creating problems with connections. Use the covers.

[@ItsEmreos]

Hi B! What would you recommend: 83 inch Sony a80L or the 85 inch Sony x95L? The tv will mainly be used for streaming (Netflix etc.). The TV is placed in a low light room. Both are currently in the same prive range, really struggling with this one. The a80L looked really dim in the store, but was not sure whether it was due to the choice of pictures displayed.

Just one preference issue...I'd go with the mount that pulls out. Just in case you have to switch out an HDMI cable or something, it's nice to just be able to pull the tv out a little, make your connections and then move it back. It may just out a little further from the wall but the functionality is paramount to saving an inch, imo anyway.

You will not notice the digital 10x opposed to the optical 10x, it is a 10mp smaller sensor on the S23U, S24 has 50mp larger sensor. This means it will crop in when using the optical zoom. Word is that the new sensor takes better 10x than the S23u 10x. The 5x, Flat panel and being able to do 4K 60 from all cameras are the reasons I am upgrading. Also adding 4K 120 is a bonus
