@@loki76You would be wrong. Vincent said the A95L measured 1349 Nits on a 10% window in its most accurate mode. My A95K measures 1000 Nits in that same window, and all panels vary, but nowhere near 200% more brightness, and that’s why they revised that statement. The S95C uses the exact same panel, and it just barely gets brighter than the S95B…

The panel isn’t everything though. Sony has much better processing and heat control than Samsung. I am curious how this model works on pc though, that’s what I’m interested in. It’s this one vs the lg g3.

A95k 900 nits at 10% vs A95L 1349 nits 10% on par with s95c peak brightness I’ll will wait for final numbers when retail model get reviewed, so far so good only downside is 2 hdmi 2.1 or deal with Samsons quality control, broken bt2020 and firmware updates that will dim your tv

Doubt they’ll ever dim the tv again after such backlash last year! Also Sammy gives you access to the service menu. Couple adjustments to Ana peak and boom you have the brightest oled to date!

with the S95C - Keep it offline and use AV Forum BT2020 settings - it looks great and you don't need to switch to P3 ever. Save some money, but it isn't as pretty with the UI or finish and a touch short on motion. That is the choice haha.

@RobertK1993 How are they supposed to sell at those prices? G3 and S95C, if you wait for sales, you can buy at almost 40%-50% less money, and G3 looks way better on the wall than Sony. Picture alone won't sell.

[@BNR_248]

Sony has always been the premium brand, they dominated last year with the A95k, Samsungs S95B was subpar in comparison, if people cant afford the A95L, they can always buy Sony's "lower end" OLEDs that feature the same XR processor - which in itself is leaps ahead of any other TVs cinematic processing. A95L is an enthusiast level TV, it isnt for your average joe who watches Married at first sight. I wouldn't even classify a G3 or S95C enthusiast grade, its more like high end. Its like buying an RTX 4090 vs a 4080, or a Lamborghini Aventador vs Lamborghini Hurucan. Also I agree with your Aussie comment, eveything in Australia thats bleeding edge is always a ripoff.

[@Nothinglastsforever]

Doesn't help the Aussie dollar keeps dropping against the usd. Costs are insane.

[@kuldipsingh366]

@@BNR_248 I disagree with you, there is no substantial difference between A95K and S95B. You can fine tune S95B to look just as good as A95K. It is not always about the processor, other things matter, for example anti-reflective attributes, the thickness of the the TV, stand and wall brackets etc. Sony Does not tick all the boxes. Lower end Sony OLEDs are like shiny mirror surfaces, unless you watch in total darkness, unwatchable during day time with a bit of natural light. Sony are way overpriced in Australia, if the prices were the same as the USA market, they would have been worth considering. There is only a price difference of about $200 in USA whereas in Australia it is priced thousands more than a Samung or LG. They are not in a different league to LG or Samsung as you make it, they are not enthusiast grade, that is a lot of B.S.

[@nimblegoat]

Mediatek have been a disappointment Given that Sony after a few bios updates will have it going well - and Panasonic will have it mastered by next year to squeeze the most out - They won't use the 2000 - too expensive - and will think they will want to master the 1000 well across their range - being snappier is great - Panasonic when they use it should get better graduation , and control. Thankfully receivers now can do full bandwidth passthrough - shame Sony is so expensive in my country - but if they do a 83" QD-OLED next year - may bite the bullet - 1500nits is enough - 90% BT2020 is enough as little content beyond that - and colours still look great anyway on a Panasonic or G3 MLA - and unless sets side by side - you wouldn't know what you are missing and in 95% plus content -SDR and HDR - will look pretty much the same no matter MLA or QD-OLED

[@RobertK1993]

Shouldn't Sony have used that in 2023 4K Bravia TVs

[@jnvivian]

I have concerns about the Pentonic 2000 SoCs. First, the marketing material shows that the Pentonic 2000 is aimed at 8K at 120 Hz displays, and does not mention the ability to drive 4K displays. Can it even drive 4K displays, and if it can, is it limited to 4K at 120 Hz instead of 4K at 144 Hz which the Pentonic 1000 can do? Second, are all 4 HDMI 2.1 ports mentioned in the Pentonic 2000’s marketing material full speed or not? The Pentonic 1000’s marketing material including its web page previously advertised “HDMI 2.1 x4” just like the Pentonic 2000’s marketing material including its web page is still doing. This is technically true since all 4 ports comply with the HDMI 2.1 standard, but that standard does not require that full HDMI 2.1 speed be implemented in order to be seen as compliant. However, this could be seen as a lie by omission by leaving out the fact that full 48 Gbps speed is not implemented. The Pentonic 1000’s website was revised to remove the “x4” to obscure the lie by omission once Vincent Teoh exposed the lie by omission in another video. MediaTek also complained that implementing 4 full speed HDMI 2.1 ports is impossible without a second chip. So does the Pentonic 2000 SoC implement 4 full speed HDMI 2.1 ports due to having enough room due to using TSMC’s smaller N7 process that promises smaller transistors that could possibly allow all HDMI inputs to implement all current HDMI 2.1 speeds, or are 2 HDMI inputs limited to HDMI 2.0 speeds?

[@vladdx]

How is the BFI at 24p? From experience there is a huge difference between 24p and 50/60p BFI with these QD OLEDs. The flickering appears to be minimal at 24p with BFI, and the light loss isn't as bad either.

[@Mike-iz6li]

I have seen the whole vid,, but what is the improvement of A95L to a95k? can someone explain? i dont understand

[@shappi99]

I would say: 1) much brighter 2nd gen QDOLED tech, and 2) better screen setting options because of the improved processor

[@lgmnowkondo938]

For 24p, why can't they just hold the frame on the screen until the next frame is displayed? This is a huge problem with oled....their UN-cinematic dealing with 24 frame motion! I have an old Panasonic plasma that doubles 24p to 48Hz and the motion for film is fantastic...why can't they do something for this sticking issue? Use AI or something...we don't need interpolation...we need the frame to be held longer.

[@seph13x]

There has to be a technical reason for this. It seems like such an obvious solution.

[@WilliamSmith-hf8um]

what makes this issue confusion is people using the words "stutter" and "flicker" interchangeably. They are two very different things. "Flicker" would be, in the case of 24 FPS content on a 120Hz display, 1 frame of content followed by 4 black frames. Obviously they don't do this because the image would be so dim and flickery it would be unwatchable. People should say "stutter" instead of "flicker", because this is a sample and hold display (unless they enable BFI. I don't even know if you can enable BFI for 24 FPS content but if you did it would probably be terrible)

[@lgmnowkondo938]

​@@WilliamSmith-hf8um Even at 120Hz where they play the same frame 5 times, it doesn't matter...the last frame is displayed so quickly that stutter will happen in certain panning shots. My mother has a crappy and slow tcl, and yet it's butter smooth in 24fps content...the slow and crappy panel pays dividends there. With AI and all these other technologies , this better be the last generation of OLED with this egregious problem. I have held off from buying one for several years now and this issue is the sticking point for me. Either slow down the panel or find a way to continue displaying a frame on the screen...no interpolation or other such nonsense, just show me the 24fps as I would see in a theater.

[@jnvivian]

@@lgmnowkondo938 According to RTINGS, OLEDs hold the frames longer on the screen because they are so fast in transitioning from one frame to another. The reason that slow TCL is apparently so good in 24 Hz motion is because it spends more time transitioning between frames due to its slow panel, so it spends less time holding the frame in a static state. Perhaps you need to enable some soap opera effect to mitigate the stutter on TVs with fast OLED panels whose speed exacerbates the stutter on low frame rate content to simulate the slower panel.

[@993mike]

The frustrating thing with these new OLED's is the stagnation regarding larger sizes. I've been waiting two years plus for a 95-100" next-gen OLED for my home theater room to replace my 83" A90J. 77" just isn't large enough.

That took ages as well. Everything else about this tv sounds amazing and I’m definitely going to get a 65”! What I don’t understand is why Sony hasn’t implemented DV straight away? The Pentonic chipset supports it so what’s the issue? I’d really like a video on technical stuff like that. Also: I prefer G&T for calming down as well 😂

I guess there is no real need for high refreshrate Dolby vision gaming because of the lack of support titles but I get it

[@jnvivian]

@@KopfdesRiesenSo far, the Sony PlayStation 5 does not support Dolby Vision gaming at high frame rates. That appears to be exclusive to the Xbox Series X and/or Series S. Second, this is the first time that Sony made a TV that is capable of Dolby Vision at high frame rates, so Sony might need to develop the firmware required for its own Cognitive Processor XR video coprocessor to properly handle Dolby Vision gaming at high frame rates.

The biggest thing I'm disappointed about with A95L is that Sony still lacks HGIG / accurate tonemapping off mode. edit: 743 nit measurement was actually from, 3 months ago, re-tested now and it has declined down to 673 nits.

Lol really? Nearly 200 nit lost with those "superb" Sony Algos? 😂 I'm so proud that i didn't spend the extra bucks for Sony TVs 😂

[@ejdhdjejejebdnem]

pixels degradation of oleds over time are unavoidable, that's way i try to go back to mini leds.

[@Datenschutz_Datenschutz]

@@ejdhdjejejebdnem Same story for Mini LED (20% in first year) but no way on OLED in first 12 month! It has to be a "software-feature" like on last years Samsung OLEDs😁

[@micker9830]

I doubt you lost that much brightness. I think you had a bad measurement or something else has changed. No tv loses that much in 9 months.

Don't update fools, who knows how they be nerfing with their updates!

Cheers for MediaTek.

[@hiramb7956]

Pardon my ignorance. What are the last 6 "3D"options on the Overscan menu? Does the A95L support 3D movies?

[@NexGenTek]

No 3D is gone

[@leperlord7078]

I am also curious if that means it supports 3D I hope we get an answer

[@forwhatitsworth4621]

Can you do a video or short about OLED screens in iPhones? Does the burn-in also occurs there? And if not, why not?

[@TheLazyGamers]

Let’s hope the DV 120hz update doesn’t become another X900H VRR update scenario.

[@uVSthem]

4K120hz with Dolby Vision will work as intended and be a blurry mess due to chipset limitations.

[@leperlord7078]

U mean this Sony chip set has limitations to produce 4k120hz? If so that’s a bummer cuz it’s a lauded chip set in it? What about the same scenarios in LG G3 Is the G3 chipset also limited in a similar way?

[@TheLazyGamers]

@@leperlord7078 No, it’s a joke about how Sony TV’s have handled gaming features in the past. The X900H was promised with VRR at launch, and didn’t get an update till two years after the fact. Sony even at one point tried to cancel it entirely and only feature it on their newest models, but caved due to backlash. The other comment was again a joke about how Sony TV’s like the X900H had a bug (that was never fixed) that resulted in the 4K 120hz mode only rendering half the resolution and resulted in the 4K 120hz mode being a blurry mess. I still don’t think these latest Sony TV’s support Freesync/Gsync either, so they are still far behind in terms of gaming features when compared to LG or Samsung.

Hi Vincent! Does the new Motion Settings finally solve the 50Hz Frameskipping Issue (intermittent Stutter in mixed Edits)?

[@8K240hz]

What does "IMAX" mean in the feature list ?

So you are telling me you did all that testing in 4hrs? That too at an unknown place without full used to setup. 👏

[@rafalekk1000]

Hello.Is it true that only SDR can be calibrated in these TVs using the Calmann program?Calmann cannot calibrate HDR and Dolby Vision?

[@Tomek_Zyla]

What is the peak HDR brightness in game mode on the A95L? I heard it's dimmer in game mode compared to the presets outside of game mode.

[@ElitistMagi]

love my a95l!

[@thishastobeunique1]

Vincent, are you going to start calibrating again. I'm local and could use your services. :0)

[@-MaXuS-]

C’mon Vincent..🤨..only 12?🧐 I could’ve watched some 4 episode of my favorite show in the same amount of time AND fiddled with the settings while doing so. 😌 | Ok jokes aside I luv..🤔.your work m8!..yes that’s what I luv..the most. Always a pleasure checking out if there’s any noteworthy developments between brands. Of course there almost never are..still interesting though. So thanks 🙏 for the content! ✌️🖖

[@Snerkler1]

Any idea whether there are any compatibility issues with this TV and the Samsung Q990C please?

[@anders_dci]

When it comes to sustained brightness, how long is sustained? I.e, if you put a 10% white patch, how long will it keep 1300 nits? 10 sec? 5 minutes? 10 minutes?

[@michaelbeckerman7532]

Has the date for the HDTVTest 2023 TV Shootout been determined yet? Do we know what city it will be held in?

[@948ccm]

Wondering of the firmware update featuring Dolby Vision on all HDMI input settings will also come to the A90J. Currently facing the problem that I'm running a Sony UHD Player and Apple TV that feature Dolby Vision and are currently on HDMI 3+4, the only HDMI inputs that feature the Dolby Vision setting. But I need them on 1/2 or 3, since my recently acquired PS5 supports 120Hz/VRR, which is only supported on HDMI 3+4. I'm pretty sure that HDMI 1+2 also could handle Dolby Vision protocol...

[@bigcdub]

Why not just buy a AVR that handles DV, and plug all into that?

[@humoody]

@1:48 can you advise what are those three TVs in order?

[@AenimaAut]

Since two days I own the 77 A95L. I discovered a strange BUG: I am using the TV's Sat Tuner and the TV App. If I open up the guide it often stutters and the little picture of the channel in the right upper corner disappears. When I close the guide it seems that there is some extreme oversharpening of the picture. It seems reality creation is out of control (which I have disabled). I have to change picture Mode to normalize the sharpness. @Vincent: Maybe you read this and can confirm/take a look on

[@bigcdub]

So much for that 2X the brightness of the A95K, I told people, “don’t believe the hype”, just like my S95C turned out to be only slightly brighter than my S95B…

[@RH-nk7eo]

It's a funny marketing gimmick because a) the people who understand TVs knew the 2x claim was BS and b) the people who don't understand TVs don't care about peak brightness. So I'm just wondering who they were trying to fool

[@chrisgault87]

@@RH-nk7eocause your commenting on it it worked.

[@micker9830]

I believe they said 2x the brightness of a baseline oled, which it pretty much is .

[@bigcdub]

@@micker9830 That was on the updated press release they stated of “conventional” Oled, but the 2X I was referring to was the rumors people were spreading…

[@TheAntifluencer]

still the TV to buy between A95L and S95C. 499 $ is a laughable difference this year, so I gladly take better Image quality, even if its not brighter. Anyways I'am waiting if the S95D will be a lot better before I pull the trigger, but likely the A95L will still look better than even 2024 Samsung and LG, because XR Cognitive is still unmatched after all those years, which just shows other companies are unable to compete with that Chip.

[@Alkaizer8]

we wanted 2000 nits at 10% window and 400-500 nits in 100% window. Sony trolling us with 1% window brightness lol, good marketing thou.

[@Thorin632]

Could someone tell me if I need a UPS/Surge protector? I live in Germany we don’t have that much power fluctuations here. So I am not sure if I should buy one or to dimply directly plug into Turnsaal socket. I heard that surge protectors actually are not recommended by Sony as it has built in SP and it can work incorrectly if the TV is connected to external SP as well

[@mous3y490]

i’d it true the 77” will have worse picture quality than the 65”? i can’t decide which size between those two
