Vincent, your closing statement that maybe the new processor deviates from the original intent was something that crossed my mind. To me though, the possible over enhancement of this processor is a plus especially when you consider how lacking other processors are in this area.

@@cmpmeridian1 And this is your thesis or did you actually see it? I happened to see the 65 A80J and A90J side by side in my store and honestly the stuff they showed (Greatest Showman 4k HDR Blu Ray via the Sony Flagship player) did look identical on both. Granted the lighting in the shop was no optimal and it was only a single disc (that I watched in the middle for like 15-20min). So IMHO a test would be great. Especially since the A80J is the only model you can get in 77'' with the 83'' A90J substantially more expensive.

With lg c1 and g1 setting a reasonable initial price by the time A90G comes online the lg’s will be discounting.

Sony's algorithm is to keep fidelity of the picture. They do a very good job at that. Just look at blacks in real life. They aren't black hole black. They always have some light reflecting off of it. Even in the dark you can see a little bit of light unless you are in a pitch black cave. Which most real situations, films, shows, etc. aren't filmed in.

One thing that's worth investigating is how aggressively the A90J dims the screen when it detects static UI elements, mostly in games. When playing Monster Hunter Rise (SDR) which has a lot of bright white UI elements, it was very obviously dimming them after a few minutes which detracted from my enjoyment of gaming on the TV. I started getting paranoid that the screen was always dimming during gaming so I ended up returning it and swapping it out with a C1 where I have more control over logo luminance and ABSL.

Great review once again thank you. Wishful thinking but perhaps the service menu provides the needed near black gamma controls? Really looking forward to hearing your review on the X95J and more details on the XR processor.

[@ov5502]

Great review man. The TV was well worth the price tag.. 🤫

[@JtotheM]

It's also possible to retain detail by using reality creation w/smooth gradation on med. While keeping annoying color gradients smoothed out to perfection w/out detail loss.

Vincent you are the man, no one else I know can make a joke with out breaking a sweat or loosing it’s calm!

[@VeeeeryyyFaaaastSlooooth]

This was my dream TV. Still is, but with the absolute bargain of 1150 EUR for 65 CX it was hard to justify and I'm watching and typing this on the LG

[@IntotheFurther.]

Excellent review as always Vincent. Now the comparison we all will be waiting for is the A80J vs A90J to see just how powerful that XR processor really is. If it makes the A80J hang in there with the A90J, then Sony needs accolades for this new processor.

[@cmpmeridian1]

Nobody but the foolish is waiting for this. The little girls on the AVS forum who are delusional thinking the 80J is as good.

[@IntotheFurther.]

@@cmpmeridian1 Well seeing as I have both A90 & A80 sitting in front of me right now. I beg to differ. I say I’m looking forward to Vincent’s comparison because he takes measurements using equipment I don’t have access to. But I also judge with my own two eyes and I purchase my sets myself to compare. Now while the A90 is brighter, it’s not a huge crazy difference from the A80. The new processor drives these OLEDs differently. The A80 & 90 are the top two brightest OLEDs available in the US. One slightly edging out the other in hdr brightness. That’s about it. Everything else is equal.

[@nick-nyc1125]

How do they both compare in the Vivid picture mode are the close in brightness and color ? Or is there a noticeable difference. Thx

[@cmpmeridian1]

@@IntotheFurther. I have owned them both, the 80J lacks brightness and HDR specular highlights. There is absolute no comparison.

[@cmpmeridian1]

@@IntotheFurther. it’s much more than slight. The 80J is over 200 nits less in the 10% HDR window. It’s not a litt bit. Than the specular highlights advantage of the 90J do not exist on the 80J

[@reviewforthetube6485]

Hell yeah so beat processing of any tv you have seen best hdr performance of an oled even if your reading was lower on measurements that didn't reflect in real world content as you showed it was the brightest in content and you gave it best in class hell yeah thats what I'm talking about amazing oled

[@bramdesmet8411]

As a ps5 only gamer. The TV does everything what it needs. Hope they can solve the hdr 120 however. Not that I will use It alot as most games will not play on 120.

[@PSYCHOV3N0M]

The 120Hz is less of a problem compared to VRR. Most console games are still coded for LOCKED framerates which defeats the purpose of having VRR.

[@StepTronic]

also HDR 120 is not important since 120 will be used for multiplayer games where you don't really care about the visuals and you won't have that problem on single player games since they are 60fps and where HDR actually matters.

[@hectorcastrejon]

Hi Vincent, I know it is not ideal, but do you recommend this TV to be used outdoors (covered by full stone structure) with direct sunlight/glare? (83 inch). Love your channel!

Are u within return period? I too have the 55inch a90j and torn about whether to get the 65. The plus side about the 55 though is its still small enough to use as a pc monitor...

@@cmpmeridian1 Oh for sure. I have the 55 a90j and I popped over to best buy today and honestly all the LG 2020 series TVs look dull by comparison now lol. They didn't have the C1 or g1 on displays unfort. Only issue for me is I'm trying to dual use the a90j as a monitor and 55 inch gives higher dpi and is prob right at the upper limit of what can be reasonably used as a pc monitor lol. 65 would be nice for immersion in gaming but far too large for browsing/coding etc

[@amitavraja3385]

I think the whole world was waiting for your review of this set. No one else can do it, the way you do a full review with contents. Caleb of DT is a joke and all he says 'its nice' without giving/showing any comparisons. Vincent; would you say this set is comparable to Panasonic in terms of shadow details?

[@hdtvtest]

We think Panasonic's shadow detail presentation is still better than Sony's however slightly.
