I absolutely love my 83 inch A90J, with all my heart. I ended up getting it because of you, FOMO, Techno Dad, Whisper Status 74, Value Electronics, and other KZbin reviewers - as well as seeing it in person back in March. Watching this tv is such a cinematic experience, both visually, and audibly. The A90J is definitely a step up from my older 2009 55 inch LG 3D television, but both have unique qualities that will make them my "Forever Television".

[@TechWithKG]

Great Review B! I didn't expect Sony OLEDs to do what they did this year LG has really been my favorite for OLED gaming the last few years but not this year Sony really impressed me whether its A90J or A80J they definitely win over the LG in most scenarios when your talking image quality and yes even with gaming, I think I would only grab the LG if you are a PC gamer or you have multiple HDMI 2.1 consoles. One thing you said on the A90J it was appearing washed out in color next to the G1, I think thats because the LG's definitely have that color saturation out of the box in game mode which does look really good, so to help anyone else out that might want to match that on the Sony using the live color option can really get you close to that or just raise up the color setting a bit to your liking and I found it to match the LG for the most part after doing that.

[@jayroman3384]

They don’t have any color saturation if you set them properly, additionally for the price range the LG OLEDs have far more gaming features than the Sony. Sony for movies all the way, but gaming? No LG takes that by far.

[@miguelmartin7179]

I' m totally agree. LG has more vibrant colors and ready to play out of the box, but if there's something that all reviews are stating is the A90J has an outstanding colorimetry, but you have to play with the calibration menu to get those rich tones in game mode. That's the difference.

[@reviewforthetube6485]

@@miguelmartin7179 not true at all. Calibrated tvs all of them will look accurate and natural actually out of the box. Sony game mode looks better. Just ask kg I mean he had them. Lg is the one you need to mess with the new black feature and mess with settings to get right. Regardless I won't harp on that if yoy can grt the image why does it matter. Oh I don't want better processing or a better look just because I need to adjust settings? Why wouldn't yoy want the better looking tv even if you had to mess with settings. For me sony wins if ylu want bright saturated you can get it. If you want dark and rich ylu can get it. Whatever you want. Also the sony is more accurate out of the box it has saturation where it's needed. That's better then being innacurate and you can actually get way more color then lg with settings like it's not even funny. You can yet rhe a80j and a90j to look like a qled if you want. Sony has a color space called Adobe rgb this year and for gaming it's an animal. Super super rich and deep. Sony also has bapck adjust on every mode not just game mode. Meaning it will get more depth then lg. Goy can adjust your black level fully super riches or more detailed again in every mode. Not just low or high like on lg and alof fo the time you are locked out on content with the lg. Sony allows gamma adjustments even in hdr lg doesn't. This yes will always give the sony the advantage for preference not reference settings. Not to mention it'd also able to get more reference without claibrations then the lg. So you can grt whatever you like and if you want to pass that uo because you believe out of the box the lg ihas more color you would be sadly mistaken. Lg isn't accurate out of the box so you cna make the sony as inmacurate as you want. Again it may be accurate but colors are still great. Bright highlights will always be more adturaated on the sony due fo quad sub pixel boosting. Yes it's noticeable this is all coming from someone with an lg and a sony oled. I mean dude imagine live color on high nobody shows you that. Hell live color low can sometimes out do lg. And lg as proven by so many settings don't really do to much. Yes using enough of them will do something. But it's nothing like the huge differences you can get with sony. Anybody who doesn't buy a sony be a use you have to adjust "settings" would be able mistaken or would be missing out big time. It's incredible what these tvs can do and to be able to push it harder and further get more saturation elseiclaly with brighter colors which most oled tvs can't do well at all. Is pretty damn amazing.

[@reviewforthetube6485]

Yeah KG only reason the lg was more attested is he used ISF bright vs custom is bright is srt to native out of the box. Meaning wider color space. If he switched the sony to standard that would be the ssme as him using ISF bright on lg. That's like cokapring a tv I'm rec709vs dcip3 and yes the sony you can access all color spaces including something called Adobe rgb which si so beautiful and rich in gaming. You can grt so much color on the a90j to the point that I can't belive it. Also b showed in dolby vision and hdr the color was the same. It was just when he showed sdr. That's due to the presets he used. I only say this as I have an lg with ISF bright mode.

Jon Snows armor showed much more detail that was crushed out and black on the LG. I own the G1 and I can confirm that sometimes things get a little toooo dark. The A90J in Vincent’s video seemed to allow certain things on the screen to look brighter in order to keep detail, while still allowing inky blacks where they needed to be.

It’s a great picture but careful with running Dolby vision / HDR. All 80J’s have very noticeable image retention. Open Apple TV and leave the icons on the screen for 30 seconds, then hit the tv menu button that brings up a grey area. Watch to see all I ghosting icons take 45 seconds to clear. Seeing this so early in scares me for future burn in. I compared the C9 with the same EVO panel and it had none. Both don’t have heat syncs. Not sure how Sony messed this up.

[@ZONAWOLF]

I had the same debate. Honestly I went with the A90J. The C1 you would have to calibrate it to get the best picture. The A90J I would still calibrate but doesn’t need it being a master series. The C1 based on watching (not kidding) every review on KZbin, reviewing digital foundry, and knowing a lot myself about TVs and the tech, would do what I needed it too, but didn’t want the black levels overwhelming the picture. I have both series x and ps5. Either way I think you would be happy, but if you want the best and can afford. Go big or go home knowing you have a brighter image without voiding the warranty trying to go in the LG service menu and trying the G1 trick, better highlights and overall sharper image. Self calibration is roughly 400-500 for the tech I bought. Hope this helps

Honestly for anybody wondering, the Acoustic Surface Audio+ the sound is so good it almost negates the need for a sound bar. So considering the fact that you’ll spend $800-1000 on a decent bar, where you don’t have to with the A90J, it can make sense for the extra cost. Of course it won’t have the depth in bass but if you’re someone in an apartment/condo/townhouse but you want to have very good sound, it’s worth it. The heat sync pulling additional heat off the screens to push the pixels further is just enough to push the value over the $1000 premium in comparison to G1.

I game on my PS5, but VRR isn't important to me and the game optimizer seems like more of a hassle than it's worth (I don't care about the input lag enough to even put it in Game mode). It's honestly a bigger deal to me that Sony is packaging Google TV as the OS because I can ditch my Google Chromecast with Google TV and pass straight to my AVR with e-arc, which will simplify things quite a bit.

B, how would you connect the A90J to the Klipsch Cinema 1200? HDMI or Digital? Need your help!!

[@raxk6103]

I have recently purchased the A90J and have to say this tv is phenomenal! Incredible performance which keeps on amazing me. Everything looks fantastic and i was especially blown away when i was watching 4k content on this tv. The sound is also incredible. The G1 beats the A90J only on gaming so if you have the money, the A90J is the one to get!

[@MrEpiadmin]

Its one thing that is bugging me. I read somewhere lately that G1 has the new oled panel but A90J and A80J dont have it. Thats also why G1 is as bright (more or less) as A90J that has a heatzink. Or how can LG C1 that has an old oled panel be more or less as bright as the A90J and A80J? What am I missing here? The new panel is not as good as they say?

[@lordofwar876]

If you're a gamer, take the LG. If you're a movie lover, Sony.

[@Kratouille]

Thank you for your review. The value of the G1 is clearly better in my opinion for a thousand less. (I saw a promotion in my country for 1500 less last night !) The obvious brightness advantage only seems to be on Vivid mode. This mode has only rare use... Some features like sound, are a better differentiator I think.

B The Installer, I think you did an excellent job on this video. Here is my take, I put my name in for a 83" A90J twice from Value Electronics, have not heard a word so it has given me more time to listen to you, FOMO, Whisper Status and Techno Dad on this subject. The more I listen the more I am wondering whether the smart move would be to wait until next year to purchase my 83 inch TV. My reasoning is that there will be more selection, the companies will have more experience with these new panels, the prices will be lower, and maybe Sony will have their software figured out. I know I will have to pull the trigger at some point, but $8000 is a lot of money in my neck of the woods. Any thoughts? Thanks for the good work to all of you.

[@BTheInstaller]

It's a new product. Patience. They'll have it soon. I'm getting mine for like $6-7k.. May be able to help facilitate that. Eventually.

[@rfrmac1]

@@BTheInstaller Thank You, will be patient. Would love that price.

[@monstalova]

If you can wait definitely do. You should see a significant drop in price after a few months. This time next year A90J should be even lower than that. Its up to you how long you want to hold out for a better price. If you've already got a good recent TV then it's an easy choice, if not then wait till Black Friday and should see it cheaper.

[@rfrmac1]

I hope I made the right decision. I got a 2016 Sony Bravia 4K UHD 65 inch. I ordered the AJ90 55 inch only for gaming. My Bravia shows a real clean picture in HDR! I never saw OLED in person. I just know a lot of people rave about it. I wonder if I’ll be able to tell a significant difference.

Thanks great review and you mentioned most of the differences that Vincent did in HDTVTest apart from the black level issue in the A90J coming out of black making some darker scenes look a bit washed out. Yes it could be a panel variation but I have seen quite a few reviews that have spotted this difference between the two and also when the A90J was reviewed on its own.

[@V8RacerGT]

Is the black level issue common or just a bad panel from Vincent?

[@its1me1cal]

I got the A80J, it's my first OLED TV and I have to say the color pops well in high advanced contrast enhancer and peak luminance, but... my eyes are sensitive to white light like flashes, sun, anything bright really...

Am I wasting my money on this expensive TV for not using its HDR potential? I have two months left to return this so any advices would be very helpful. Thank in advance.

[@BloopsnBleeps]

Weird thing I can't figure out with my a80j. When using the native apps on the TV I cannot get full surround to work.

I'm thinking of getting a new 55" TV, bought the Samsung Q95t, but returned it, it was way over bright, even in normal use, and wasn't happy with the build quality, when the frame came away from the screen on the first day, I was thinking oled , but wasn't sure about burn in, I don't play games at all, so thats something I won't have to consider. Is the a90j worth the extra over the g1?

[@dvile6417]

All I’m waiting for is the firmware update including VRR at some point this year for my a90j

[@nihren2406]

The A90J is definitely the strongest contender for my next TV. It just has that extra bit over the G1 and A80J to mesmerize me. It does have its problems, some of which do concern me, but the overall picture quality I feel is worth the trade-off if you can deal with some janky motion(Which you can shore up somewhat with the available options) and some not so great transitions from pure black to gray. The lack of VRR doesn't really make a difference to me and I likely wouldn't use those Game Optimizer settings. Plus I spend more time watching TV and movies than playing video games these days so prioritizing the quality of those over games makes sense, especially since I have a decent collection of SD content, both live action and 2D/3D animated.

[@icycannonball]

I don't know if this is true, but I heard that tvs that ship to the US or Europe are lower in quality than ones shipped to Asian countries/cities. For example, the US price for the 77 inch g1 is around 4500 right? Where I'm live, the price for the same model costs 15k USD... You can buy an 8k TV for that price... I don't get it at all..

[@monstalova]

I really doubt it. The main point seems to be the amount of stock US buys so they get the TVs cheaper, also the amount of sales they bring in. Shipping to different countries wouldn't warrant such a high difference in price either. Also certain countries charge more in tax per unit. Add in conversion rate from the dollar plus retail stores putting higher prices to make more profit and it can make a big difference. Would be more because of the amount of TVs that the US sell there's bound to be more bad panels by percentage. Really, some countries retail prices seem ludicrous

[@icycannonball]

@@monstalova many good points there. However, I'm unsure about the part where you said that retail stores jack up the prices for increase profit (in this circumstance) because itvs here have always been more expensive than in the US or UK. But perhaps like you mentioned, it has to do with the amount of demand to the US vs other Asian countries. I do agree that the prices are ridiculous though. Utterly insane.

[@monstalova]

@@icycannonball i think its a combination of all the points I mentioned (extra taxes might be the biggest!) that's why you see a huge difference. I'm in Australia and we pay double the amount for most TVs compared to US, sometimes more. The better the model the more the difference. Sony Z8H is $13K here on sale.

Size matters! I think the only reason I would go with the G1 is because they have a 77 inch and Sony doesn't. I did get confused towards the end of the 8 minute Mark going into 9 minutes. I'm strictly a movie and sports guy, that's why I was leaning towards Sony but then you made changes to the G1 and it looked better in a movie setting than the Sony. I'm confused there, I don't think the average person will know how to tweak these TVs. How do you know what to tweak and why? You don't know what you don't know. Black Friday here I come.
