My parents bought a Sony TV in the early 80s. It was a Trinitron. When I graduated university and left home in 2007 my mom still had that Sony TV and it still worked just fine.

[@DASamX5453]

I still have a old 47" projection big TV that I got back around 2001...it's still working perfectly fine and never had any issues with it 23 years later and you can't beat the sound!!! 😎 Sony TVs last. The only complaint I would have on it is that it only has 1 hdmi port....

[@techsamurai11]

​@@DASamX5453 Sony's engineering is really scary - sure, they may be a bit conservative in some things but there's always a good reason why they are conservative. Their respect for the customer's money and comfort comes first.

[@SonyEnthusiast]

@@Sabundy my parents still have a Trinitron too!

[@thebig12conference73]

I had an old Sony TV from 1998, that was given to me as a high school graduation gift. The TV is currently at my dad's house. Engineering background here, the older TV's were bigger than today's flat screen but they were better quality. Also, if something went wrong with the TV, you just replaced the part. Today if something goes wrong with the computer chip, you might as well throw the TV in the trash.

[@zzzut]

I just bought a Bravia 9 with Bravia Quad that will be delivered tomorrow. Your tutorial is the best I have seen so far. Thanks!

[@thomasrichards1969]

I splurged yesterday and ordered the 85-inch Bravia 9. Total overkill, but this is such a nice set that I know I will have it for years and be extremely satisfied. If you take care of your set, Sony TVs can last decades. Their build quality is so good that it doesn't feel cheap at all; it feels premium.

[@claykeough7898]

I remember over a decade ago wanting a Bravia tv simply because of the color depth it showed on display in stores and how three dimensional it looked to me imho. I finally make enough money to have boughten the 85"x90l Sony and I swear it's better most times than my friends smaller OLED TV's. Sony is best for streaming and upscaling content as far as I'm concerned and my games are looking amazing too. It's all hooked up to a hta 5000 soundbar with sub and rears and I got it all for under 3500 which is the same or under most smaller OLED TV alone 🤷 5:00

[@TechCody113]

It's actually not good, sometimes it looks to 3D to me, and it's unrealistic, ive seen posts on reddit saying same thing, samsung TVs just has a little bit of s flat picture and they so that to make it more realistic

[@koolrunnings3135]

Thanks Steve. This is a winderful vid - love the props, creativity, presentation and Sony attire - Flawless!! I can see the result of the new studio environment. This is an amazing TV and I do hope the price comes down well for BF....Cyber Monday. I will rally some my friends to assit with the 200k goal. I am also expecting great things from you come CES 2024.

[@TechSteve]

I appreciate that

[@techsamurai11]

Thanks for showing all the modes - Sony’s standard is the best but it’s not using warm1 or warm2 as its color temp, is it? It’s a shame because Standard warm with a little color applied takes Sony TV to a completely different level. I play tennis and the trees at our court look very green when the sky is blue but when it’s overcast, they look dark green and lose their sheen. Just like the sky, the color temp and color settings determine the color of everything you’ll see and once you see the beautiful warm colors with brightness and full pop without any washing out of unnaturalness, you can’t go back. I’d advise everyone to experiment with warm on standard and add color and slight brightness with the ambient light sensor on. If you switch to cinema from that, Cinema will make you feel sick in comparison because the people look like they are all zombies from the Last of Us.

I saw the Bravia 9 side by side in person and it blew the Samsung competitor out the water! Btw, I got the same shirt 😊

[@techsamurai11]

My question is how much better is it than the Bravia 7 for the money and when is that extra brightness and contrast visible. Can we see the 400,000 contrast vs 100,000? Can we see the 800 nit difference (2,900 vs 2,100 at the smallest window and dropping as the window gets larger) and does it make a positive difference? Are the X-wide viewing angles and coating more important?

[@marcobaker1475]

I always liked Sony but they are always overpriced. Sometimes you have to take that jump if that's what you really want.

[@leighdog5866]

[@John-DiV]

The internal speakers do have a setting for different modes different sounds equalizers, etc. it’s kind of hidden but it’s under speaker set up after you set it for internal speakers. I don’t use internal speakers so I forgot how to get there, but it does a lot of adjustments of sound for you.

[@tmed827]

HI Steve- Great great review. If you connect an optical cable from the TV to an integrated amplifier to use external speakers- Would you also be able to use the TV speakers as a center channel speaker along with the external stereo speakers?

No you need a sony audio system that supports it like the Bravia 9

[@amitavraja3385]

It would be good to compare it against last year’s model - X95L As some people said there are issues with credits of movies and TV shows. Viewers always want to see the difference between the last year’s model and the current model and if there money is worth it.

[@vgnvideogameninja2930]

I owned X95L last year and now own a B9 and can say that B9 is definitely the better TV, hands down.

[@TechSteve]

It’s not easy to store and move these TVs around, the x95l is at my home. So I don’t think so

[@matttafakt]

@@TechSteve Funny that no one will do a side by side comparison of the B9 and X95L. I've seen them next to each other and there's no real difference. Honestly, the B9 is too bright and imo the X95L look better. Many have said the same thing with no bias.

[@TechSteve]

Most of us have small studios or film at home, as a viewer you probably don’t have any idea of what it takes to do TV reviews and store TVs off camera, it’s a logistical nightmare. But i love it.

I was told by Sony and a repair company that Sony does not make the parts to fix things like the display table or other hardware issues. I’m devastated this is the newest tv in my house and it doesn’t stay on more than 30-60 seconds now 😢😢 loved the picture in every way but very nervous to purchase another one.

What was your experience like seeing from a 4K Blu-ray from dedicated 4K player on the TV. This is not a knock on stream People that buy a high-end TV like that most likely are moving enthusiast so there using Blu-ray and 4K Blu-ray, streaming is secondary to them them. I would be interested in seeing the most I could get out of this TV for price and you’re not getting that with any streaming service. When reviewing high-end TVs, your focus should be on 4K Blu-ray and how it performs. When reviewing a budget TV like black Friday Best Buy TVs for $100 then you should talk about streaming because they’re not buying physical media.
