3 Biggest Sony A95L Deal-breakers

[@Quantum_TV]

Short on time? Top 3 Deal-breakers 1. Bad motion 0:53 slowed down to .25 playback 2. Overpriced for diminishing returns on picture quality. 3. You can find an equivalent experience for way less.

[@SirSmackalot5]

Hi there. Thank you for your great videos, i watched many of your videos on the A95L. Great analysis, well done. But i still bought the A95L 77inch very recently. I took some time to compare some TVs, LG G3, S95C (which i initially wanted), S90C and others. I can verify that the motion problem does exist on some scenes in some movies/shows. But overall the problem is only visible (according to my tests and using the actual TV) in less then 1% of all the material i used. I tested Pacific Rim and cannot reproduce your results after playing with the settings. The effect is stronger with movies like Avatar - Way of the Water (something like that). But for more then 99% of all content the problem is not really relevant which i think comes down to the way our perception works. In fast moving scenes our eyes do not recognize the little details. But that might just be me. It works for me and it works well. I am very happy with the TV, it ist amazing. The upscaling of SDR Content is the best in my opinion, the Presentation of Sports (Display cooling for very light scenes) is amazing, Colors,.... I have scene many other comparisons and the A95L wins by far (overall) in Sports and Gaming, clarity and colors. All together the TV IS overpriced, yes. But not too much. I do think some premium is due to some other characteristics. Up till now i only had Samsung TVs and i had so many problems i do not want Samsung again. All Samsung TVs have some bugs which influence the behaviour with other devices, such as random sound loss on the Ambeo Soundbar or picture drop or errors on input switching (CEC errors i think, which never got fixed). The A95L is working flawlessly up till now. One important part of my decision also was the Android System. It is way bigger then the others like WebOS/Tizen and i hope the TV will get updates and error corrections for longer then Samsung ever did on their products. Another important reason is Samsungs decision to cripple the One Connect Box by reducting 48gbit/s to 40gbit/s on all inputs. That was the deal breaker. The A95L only has two HDMI2.1 inputs, for the price it is lame, but for my setup no problem. There are HDMI 48gbit switches which i could use. In conclusion i think you are reporting existing flaws, but you are exagurating on some minor flaws. All in all the sony motion IS NOT sh*t. I am no expert but i think it comes down to compression of input signals. I would watch like you to make a video about perfecting the settings on the A95L and objectively show what this TV can do. Thank you I have to add that money is not the biggest concern for me. If it was i would have bought S90C or C3 or something comparable.

It's crazy that motion is one of the most important parts of a TVs image yet everyone else on KZbin seems to gloss over it as if it doesn't even matter. So thank you for covering it. For me, that's the only deal breaker I need when it comes to a TV that's so expensive.

[@craigosterberg5045]

Thanks Quantum. Great job. Appreciated

[@s1gheart]

I hope you will do a review and a settings video for the G3 in future

[@Pro_2A_1776]

Just got the S90C 65 inch and put in your settings. All I can say is OMG WOW! ITS UNREAL! THANK YOU Quantum! What you see on your KZbin videos for your settings don't do them justice. Insane 😊

[@elysiumcore]

I hope you compare this to a G3 👀

[@YaBrefStank]

Please keep us updated if you can with the s95b setting your working on, thanks.

[@jiffjaff9018]

Great vid I love your honesty

[@ChristopherFinancial]

Great video and information. Love it!!

[@jasonhovis2981]

I noticed it on the A90K watching American Dad on the Cartoon Network. The Panning was horrible it was like looking at an after image.

[@Quantum_TV]

Sony tvs are stuck in after image mode

[@thematrixredpill]

Tried the new C1 settings, took the 4.99 hit. The settings are the best I've ever seen on the C1.

[@688shadows]

Again just blowing other settings out of the water how can they even keep up ?

[@chriskelly1740]

Quantum TV, I realize the Professional and Cinema modes would be less saturated. Did you try the Standard and Vivid modes? Also, concerning/regarding details in bright scenes being washed out, did you try different HDR tone mapping modes, such as Off, Brightness Preferred, Gradation Preferred, etc.? I'm not arguing with you. I'm just giving you suggestions which might help you achieve the results you're after. Do your feelings about reference accuracy also apply to headphones and speakers? I have a pair of Sennheiser HD 560S headphones which Rtings claims has neutral levels in the low-mid, mid-mid, and high-mid registers, but for the longest time, I thought mids sounded overemphasized. Do reference measurements hurt audio the same way reference standards undersaturate colors in video?

[@stevestifler4693]

What were the motion settings on these 2 TV's?

[@seanjoshualumbab]

“It’s a great TV…..If you’re not watching it” 💀🤣

[@X4Piper]

Had the A95K and I trumped my s95b, s90d, a8g, a8h. Can’t wait to get the A95L.

[@AlteredVisionTV]

To me the LG C1 looks better. Good job Quantum. In my opinion you are the very best calibrator.

[@calumdonnachie1945]

Great video, thanks for being real. I do feel there is a band of influencers who repeat the same narrative. I'm in the market for a new TV. Going into a bright room and watching sports and streaming TV shows and movies. No gaming. I love OLED but open to advice. LG C3 or G3 or Samsung S90c or go with a mini LED? If the latter, what 1 or 2 do you recommend?

[@storungz]

Dude, thank you for not giving in to the name and showing us EXAMPLES of the truth. This is why YOUR CHANNEL has been my go-to last stop resource for my TV purchases! Happy 2024!!!

[@Quantum_TV]

Thanks man! Happy 2024!

[@pein3480]

Good video, personally I went with the samsung S90c in 77 inches. After doing some research I didnt feel the need to invest all that money into Sony. Plus I like the direction with samsung gaming features 👌

[@glall3603]

Q can you link me gaming settings for s90c? You referenced s95b due to similarities

[@MrHakubi]

Where can I find this demo video?

[@biggiss5577]

Quantum do you have the s95c settings?

[@CaptainScorpio24]

quantum bro .. what's the max size of tv that can b handled by one person.

[@user-ju6rs3lj3n]

Q I hope you're doing well. I don't know if you know this, but there's a lot of us out there who really appreciate the excellent work you do, there's literally no one this transparent about these TVs on the platform. Your settings made me fall in love with my S90C I hope you can continue supporting it in the future. 👍

[@RainMike]

is the q7 better than TCL 6 Series (R646 ?

[@icycannonball]

Would the proposition be different if the pricing for the A95L is similar to the S95C? Right now, the S95C (77") is around $3.3k. If the A95L (77") was sold at $3.5k or $3.6k, would that make a significant difference in how you look at the Sony? Or still not really?

[@shaunporter7824]

I feel like he will be getting the G3, he's just keeping it quiet... well atleast I hope so, because I'd love to see those settings 😁

[@ReichDDR]

Very good review

[@Zuny917]

I need settings for the S90C

[@tolu.a9725]

S90C calibration pls

[@mikalkielli3351]

so get a LG G3 instead because that’s what I’m thinking about doing?

[@bryanjones9952]

Keep doing your thing. Like you said, if you are good at something and can back it up...do you. On that note, I'm still not sure why everyone likes to say film maker mode is what the movie producers want their picture to look like. I hate it. To each their own...

[@jeep2keep]

Wth man I just had a X90L delivered yesterday and now you come out with this.

[@682shadow]

Nice, man again your settings are out of this world.

[@lililimas5848]

Greetings friend 👋🏼. You know perfectly well that the "Sony legion" of KZbin doesn't like this. I changed my a95k for a 77 g3 and believe me, I am super happy with my purchase. New subscriber 👍🏼. Greetings from Mexico and much success

[@waynebarrows9150]

Will you be offering any G3 setting. Great work Q

[@remyd8767]

You had me at "too expensive"

[@shannonjarvis8766]

Here in Canada 5000 for a95l 65”! And that’s before tax! Bought my Samsung s92c for 2700 65”! Pretty much half the price of the Sony and has a better picture in my opinion! Thanks for another great review!

[@Stevo1207]

Digital Trends just did a comparison video of the S95C, A95L and G3 side by side. The A95L is in the centre and displays how bad the motion is on Sony. If you pause the video at the 15:45 mark which shows footage from the movie 1917 you can see how bad the motion artifacts are where they are non existent on the Samsung on the left and G3 on the right. Look at the helmets on the soldiers as an example as they are walking through the trench.

[@BT_01]

The xr sony tvs always had problem with motion..i m amazed that the so-called experts keep blabbering about sony having the best motion..

[@noemad91]

X90l best settings?

[@Quantum_TV]

Sorry nothing for that tv

[@PogueSquadron]

Is this with motion smoothing maxed out? The Sony is supposed to be good at smoothing motion without triggering a Soap Opera effect.

[@charlesgiosano7767]

When are you gonna talk about the gta 6 trailer? 🙌

[@IntegraJoe]

FOMO guy uses a lot of big techy words and half the time I have no clue what he’s talking about

[@wilsonhensley7475]

As an LG G2 owner, your new C1 setting are fantastic. Motion is a BIG deal. If motion isn't an issue, than save $$ & buy the TCL or Heisence

[@Quantum_TV]

Thank you

[@chrismiranda5648]

Yo Q…so to end the debate about “the big 3” and what all these self proclaimed tv experts on here are saying about the A90L being miles ahead of both the G3 and S95C…you’ve owned them all, which one is truly the best?

[@mikescott5440]

When folks accuse you of Sony animosity, fire back with the gospel of the Sony X900E - a TV so etched in your favorites, you've dissected it more times than anything else in your review repertoire. Post-2017/18, Sony took a nosedive, so It's not Sony you resent, but the fading echoes of its once-glorious era. I still think you need to pick up another one second hand and do some comparisons against these contemporary models. That would be interesting content!

[@auzzieworker5183]

In my opinion the best tools in a calibration kit are your eye balls. What say you Q.

[@AlteredVisionTV]

S95C for the win. I have not ever seen anything look like that set.

[@formetoknow540]

How can I 2021 tv destroy this tv 😂 by so much

[@smallfry3270]

Screw the haters man. Gotta say I am pleased with the settings for the Hisense U6H you provided. Not bad for an entry level TV for $330 for the 50 inch.

[@nickragucci7335]

Hey man, I personally appreciate your “no BS” approach, the industry needs more like you, thank you for the honesty. 👏

[@Uruz7Laevatein]

Honestly I was not shocked at all with the results of current 2023 TVs, my A80J with it's XR Processor + 120hz BFI + HTPC-based Videoprocessor still completely smokes every other TV combo so far in detail/contrast, motion, and clarity.

[@La1983Dvo]

Fam let these clowns talk. You’ve proven your point by showing comparative evidence. The reference point is for a the purists. Above standard is for people who want more than a dull picture. Half if not most of them don’t even own the Tele. Continue to TTS and showing emotion only proves how passionate you are about your work. Stay up and stay strong my G.

[@cyclebreakers1823]

Two and a half weeks to calibrate?? Chill.

[@mygreeneggsandham]

Hey Quantum. When you get frustrated by the shills and grifters, remember that you are doing this not for them but for us. We all have beautiful pictures on great TV's because of you. So, if the grifters and the shills and bought influencers get offended at the truth, then you know you are over the target and that is when you are doing your base the biggest service. So just letting you know, we got your back and see through the game the others are playing because you pulled the curtain back and exposed them. And that motion is indeed a deal breaker. I am shocked at how bad that was.

[@stefanb974]

Sony is overpriced. Idk why people still buy them.

[@fotomats8651]

The Sony is much sharper

[@bryangray936]

again I must ask.......... WHAT HAS SONY DONE TO THIS MAN?!😂🤷‍♂️

[@dperr338]

Sony motion is by far better than Samsung The Sony looks better than the LG to me.

[@devlonwebb1835]

Bro stop calling folks out by name, that's where u losing me bro. We all on the same team.

[@Quantum_TV]

Nah fk all that. We're not on the same team. I'm the only one calling sony out for their flaws. They are marketing it for affiliate commissions. I will name drop everyone involved in pushing the narrative that sony is king while having flaws. You say i lost u? Well stay lost.
