This is a shady sponsorship my friend: With the exception of Product Key Cards (PKC’s) distributed with COA’s, Microsoft does not distribute products keys as standalone products. - If you see a listing on an auction site, online classified ad, or other online page advertising product keys for sale, it’s a good indication that the keys are likely stolen or counterfeit. - If you were to purchase and use a stolen or counterfeit product key to activate Windows installed on your PC, the key may not work for activation, may already be in use on another PC, or it might be blocked from use later by Microsoft when the key is reported stolen.

There's no perfect TV but I think it's fair to say Bravia 9 is truly remarkable progress for MiniLED. Sony sprinkled magic dust on the backlight masterdrive (increase in zones and 22 bit precision) and it is just wonderful!

[@whitecrowuk575]

All this to do a 50% brighter picture over OLED. And still small highlights unfortunately dimmer. 🤷‍♂️ much easier with self emissive pixels. Can’t believe they don’t offer 97”. They offer poor x90L but not their flagship.

[@Mike-jm5wt]

Sony rests on their laurels as a company but when they decide to innovate they definitely come out swinging, I don't think anyone expected a TV that looks almost as good as a $30k mastering monitor and trades blows with OLED in dark room performance.

[@whitecrowuk575]

@@Mike-jm5wt they can do indeed but I’m afraid they will lose the game. TCL is smashing in mini led space and with bigger better models available will definitely overtake that space. Whereas Samsung and LG already get close in processing to Sony, close enough that usually big price disparity doesn’t justify the difference. There will be only die hard Sony fans. I can see Sony selling its business down the line.

I have it already, it's great except be prepared for blooming. There absolutely is blooming and it's worse than the TV I just replaced, my 2018 Samsung Q8FN with only 40 dimming zones. Samsung at the time was prioritizing blooming control over everything so highlights were not spectacular however there was absolutely no blooming on this q8fn. Black level is insanely good and I prefer this kind of an algorithm. The Bravia 9 prioritizes blindingly bright highlights over blooming control and it really shows, I see quite a bit of blooming which is disappointing. That said it's not terrible.

I like HDR and QLED provides a much more impressive HDR experience. I considered buying a Samsung QD-OLED, but they also have bad brightness stability and no OLED has impressive peak brightness despite the deceptive marketing in that regard.

I'm still a touch skeptical, but I have to say I was impressed by the colors of the Bravia 9. It was clearly better in that youtube TV tennis match.

[@thenonexistinghero]

In terms of colours, Sony's TV's usually knocks it out of the park. I bought a ZF9 master series TV back in 2019 and now I can only buy Sony TV's because no other TV is capable of matching the colours of a Sony TV (and they look the most true to life to me). I'm not a Sony fanboy, I don't even have a PS5. I had their first wireless earbuds with noise cancelling, but did not opt to get a new Sony one because they tend to have battery issues (I don't know what it is with Sony and trash batteries. All of their earbuds have battery durability issues and their wireless controllers also all have battery durability issues).

[@whitecrowuk575]

It was in vivid. Hence the colors were being pushed hard. But wasn’t shown TCL, which would match it or surpass it (it is brighter).

[@Mike-jm5wt]

Read up on quantum dots but the short version is they convert led light into pure white which then gets filtered by the lcd layer to create all the colors, but because the white is so pure the resulting colors are far more vibrant compared to non QD light sources.

[@michaelbarmby9105]

​@@whitecrowuk575no TCL advocate has ever answered my question on longevity. I buy a TV to last 10 years, will a tcl be as good in 8 to 10 years of heavy usage? My Sony have always lasted 10 years at still a quality colour and picture.

I am guessing that you never clocked that FOMO had the Sony in vivid mode to try and make it appear more pimped out than it actually is? FOMO - you should be way better than this. We don't want clickbait - give us accurate reviews sir, you can't claim anything is better whilst completely pimping out both the product and your camera settings.

[@rolandrohde]

While I am quite happy to see manufacturers improving their LCD and OLED TVs year over year, I think we have long arrived at the point, where the quality of the content is holding things back for more than the quality of the Display. Pretty much the same thing as what we can see in terms of Audio. We have all these nice standards and formats, HDR, 4K60 or 4K120 with high clarity, brightness, contrast and everything, but frequently get HDR capped at less than 500nits or even SDR in an HDR container. Hollywood clings to 24p, thus destroying most of the advantages of 4K or even 1080p as soon as movement is involved or adds artificial "digital grain" etc. On the audio side, we are seeing Atmos mixes without actual object based audio, just static 7.1.2 or at most 7.1.4 and very little Surround Sound, let alone Heigt effects. In terms of Music, we get all kinds of high-resolution containers with the audio often having the potential of exceeding what humans can hear by several orders of magnitude but the actual recording being dynamically compressed, badly recorded, mushy and not even using the available bandwidth of something like a good old Audio CD. So yes, modern TVs, AVRs and Speakers are great, but the Content industry is way behind most of the time. Sorry for ranting...🧘‍♀️

[@MichelleAlexandria-EM]

I’ve been saying this for years. Buying $5,000 tvs is stupid when the content itself will almost never justify that. There’s a reason almost all modern tvs look great when you watch Demo footage and footage from HDR Demo channels on KZbin. Then you watch Netflix and other content a d it never matches that. Then you have a lot of directors you think the world looks dark and drab and no tv is going to make that content look better. Look at how Some scenes in Game of Thrones are shot, where it’s so dark you can’t see anything. A $5,000 fake “4,000 Nit” tv isn’t going to do much better than a $800 1,000 Nit TV.

[@Evaquiel]

Honestly, if you're rich, the Bravia 9 is the best of both worlds. It has everything i like about LCD with the strenghs of a OLED. AND its a Sony TV, so it also has the best color accuracy and processing on the market. Truly outstanding.

[@geoemm]

Excellent stuff, it would be nice if you could compare the power consumption at sdr (same brightness ) (what people watch 90% of the time) of these tv. It would be a great reference for people who live in places with very high power prices.

[@mrb0775]

Power usage is FAR lower on LCD TVs with Mini-LED back-lights than with similar size OLEDs! For example, about any model 65" LCD TV with Mini-LED back-lighting sold today, uses UNDER half the power at the same brightness level that any 65" OLED uses. OLEDs have NEVER been efficient in utilizing electrical power to produce a given level of brightness. A 2019 model Sony 77" A9G OLED we use in our basement theater room, has a maximum power use rating that's OVER 2 TIMES the maximum rated power usage of the 2014 Sharp 80" LCD TV (without Mini-LEDs) that I gave to a friend in Sept 2022, as we replaced the Sharp with Samsung's 85" QN90B LCD with Mini-LED back-lights.

DTM Off - TV uses a static table to map the input brightness of a picture to the real output brightness it is capable of rather than the static meta data provided by the content. Static meta data mostly tells the screen the minimal and maximal peak brightness of the whole movie / TV show episode. DTM On - The TV tries to guess what output brightness would look the best on a per scene level based on both the input brightness, the static meta data as well as by analyzing the scene.

Thanks for the review, but what I really want to know is an 85" BRAVIA 9 worth c. £2K/$2.5K more that the already excellent 85" BRAVIA X95L -- comparison please...

[@matttafakt]

X95L is awesome. Nobody will compare theses two because they look the same. Personally, i think the B9 is too bright

Hi . Thanks for the review. I have a simple question. Best tv for sports?

[@michaelfoster3441]

Not from I have seen I seen the bravia 9 in person several times in person , the contrast is no were near oled and off viewing angles weren't great , I will take contrast over brighnesss every time and and oled is better by far when comes to gaming . Waiting on the Panasonic MLA Z95A .

Im really curious to see how the Bravia 9 compares to the Z9K, the Z series has been known to hit 4000 nits without clipping.

[@444chroma]

I agree that would be cool to see how the Bravia 9 can match up with Z9K in terms of raw luminance output

[@jkerm5106]

I know it's a difficult thing to measure and comment on but one of the most important things for me is the quality control of the tv. How bad is the dse at 85 inch? For us folks in other countries who don't have access to Robert to do quality control we have to play the panel lottery and I just had a terrible experience getting a 85 inch screen replaced due to extreme dse, I hope to never have to deal with that again.

[@kingkobra1956]

I have the A90J and I could upgrade to any display I want and I've been trying to justify upgrading but I can't find any logical reason to do so. I love the picture quality of the A90 and it is bright enough for me. The only fault with it is that white backgrounds are gray which is a distraction and we all are aware why that is.

[@MadLadsAnonymous]

Hey, FOMO! Since the largest set our mantle area can support is 55", would you suggest going with the A95L over the Bravia 7? Side-lit living room, too.

[@paulcox2447]

A95L smashes the b7. You're comparing the top of the line QD OLED to a mid-range LED TV

[@sc-ft8kd]

Was at Best B. the other day and the sales person stopped the B9, A95L, and G4 at the same scene. IMO, yes B9 is brightest and amazing colors (as long as not off angle), but I ranked them in this order: A95L, G4, B9. A95L (last year's tech) had the best colors and blacks.

[@danielmoellmann-f7n]

Saying also that you can only see it in direct comparison because they are all so good is an important piece of information since at home if you are not in a store no one can compare side by side m. And then it’s up to your own preferences and what you feel your tv is lacking

Now if Sony would only make a 100"(or 98) version of the Bravia 9

[@PSYCHOV3N0M]

I hate that they only make 98-inch sizes or higher for a mid-range TV.

[@SergioRZ]

I need to delay audio for a few milliseconds to match the TV box sound with the image on my new 75" B9. I can find the A/V Sync setting but it allows only for three options: Auto / On / Off... but none of them allows me to set a time delay like 20ms or 30ms... Is this not an option with the B9?

[@danielmoellmann-f7n]

Still having it it’s worth to say that the QD OLED A 95 L is still a master series and still within its category a popular TV. Even though the newest and latest comparisons is part of your job as reviewer. Because people who bought it at release and saved up money might feel like ohhh so this means it’s replacing every other model

[@josephcarbonera8513]

It’s business. Of course they’ll tell you the newer is better. New doesn’t always mean better.

[@zman-ru3yf]

I have a dark theatre room. Is it better to go with the LG G4 83" or the Bravia 9 85". Is it worth sacraficing the 2" to go with the Oled? Price isnt a concern.

[@mikej6565]

I literally had both of those TV's side-by-side in my dark, well designed room and kept the 83" G4. The OLED black details are more pure compared to the Bravia 9, where the LCD's more purplish blacks are apparent.

[@rakandmeerapatel6867]

Where is the A95L vs B9, my point is Sony is trying to maximize profits by pushing reviewers to push B9, A95L still the best TV

[@vacguy77]

Not for me it wasn't. I returned my A95L after 4 days. It may be the brightest OLED, but nowhere near bright enough for me. The Bravia 9 blows the A95L out of the water as far as I'm concerned!

[@Logeekistics]

Lg has good contrast in a dim lit room. Does that apply to mla as well? Just like qd oled tinted panel when light hits the panel. What about seeing numbers measuring Contrast off the panels in dimly lit room aswell? And also measuring contrast of colorful scenes without any black and how miniled measures and how it looks to human eyes. Oleds don't have high nits at full screen compared to leds. And I want to know if that full screen makes a difference in contrast and 3d pop. It should since glassless 3d tv are super bright to make the image pop and 3d. So miniled should be a better compromise between 3d tv and oleds. So in that case i should be buying miniled oreven just led, since most content I watch don't even have perfect blacks or much shadow detail. And with led I would be getting more contrast with brightness. And blooming doesn't even bother me compared to a dim and flat picture.

Hi Fomo!: I’m coming from a 75” Sony Z9D that I couldn’t bring it with me when I moved from TX back to CA (I left it in my parent’s house). Do you think the 85” Hisense U8N or the 85” TCL 2024 QM8 will be somehow in the same level as the Sony Z9D being that the Z9D is a 7 year old technology? or should I save up and wait to get the 77” Sony A95L, the 85” Bravia 9 or the 83” LG G4 on Black Friday? I mainly stream movies and shows on 1080p, watch a few soccer games here and there and play 4k blu-ray movies 2 or 3 times a month through my Panasonic DP-UB820. I don’t game at all. 90% of the time I watch TV is at night. Thanks in advance for your advice! 🙏🏽

Sony Bravia 9 - 75 vs LG Oled C4 - 77 . What is better to buy?

[@imlegend8108]

The best Mini LED vs the best OLED. Damn comparing a Sony against another Sony from last year. That Sony guy seems kinda good ngl 🤧

[@klaymoon1]

Samsung got a better panel, but LG has a better image processor. Actually I believe Samsung has a better chip too, but doesn’t have the software power. Sony has 8,000 LEDs, but Sony could not control 8,000 dimming zone yet. But Sony should be able to do that in next year or two.

[@michael-4k4000]

When do we reach TV panacea? For example, a paperclip can’t be improved upon anymore. When will displays hit this point? I would argue we are there already. I own mostly OLED now, and there was an enormous difference when I went from a Sony LCD in 2017 to a LG B7 55” OLED tv. The B7 was brighter and better in every way, and NO BLOOMING! Bought a C9 for family room, then a C2 83” for our theater area, and just recently picked up a Sony A95L 55” for our kitchen area. I don’t understand the hype over QD-OLED, I am sure it’s does better on the tests and brightness and color, but I don’t see it. My family members don’t see it, no one notices it’s even a new tv. Not one person commented on the picture quality. I am not trying to bash QD-OLED. I love all OLED. But the differences are so small now it’s not important that the Picture Quality is technically better, if it only provides a very small level of performance difference when actually watching real content. Back to my question, what does a perfect display need to be and when will we get there?

[@chibbyylol]

OLED tries to improve towards miniled brightness and longevity, and mini LED tries to add more dimming zones to try to match OLED. The converging point is probably microLED are some type of self-emissive tech that doesn't burn out and gets bright

[@enzopied3015]

@chibbyylol you get it man, nice to see a comment that isn't fanboying and truly real.

[@michael-4k4000]

​@@chibbyylol Is the A95L not bright enough? What about the G4? Or S95D? These tvs can do over 1,000 nits in a 10% window. Since almost all content is mastered in 1k nits or less, why do we need more brightness?

[@chibbyylol]

@@michael-4k4000 The 'need' for brightness scales with the growing capabilities of mastering displays and cameras capturing movie footage as well as directors / producers intent. Movies eventually will get more advanced and be capable of capturing 1000 (some even 4000+ nits of brightness, to then the mastering monitors used to edit these footages grow to reach 5000 nits then eventually the displays playing the movies will need that too. Brightness is a thing here it's really nice to have it and not need it, then need it and not have it. Thing about TVs is what else is there to improve on in terms of metrics? The A95L already acn display 90+% of rec2020 color space so the wall there is 100% color reproduction....well once a TV can make all the colors...the only thing to improve upon is achieving more and more brightness. There isn't really a 'wall' for brightness, well unless you count the maximum nits say a fluorescent bulb at 10,000 or 1,600,000,000 nits of direct sunlight lol. That could be the cap to it I suppose

[@michael-4k4000]

@chibbyylol Good point on, it's better to have more brightness than not enough. I had to get rid of my favorite TV Sony Bravia XBR-65X900A a few years ago because it was not bright enough. Was a gorgeous tv, even when turned off. It's going to take many, many years for the 4k nit mastering to be mainstream. Then we would have to buy all new content, and I'm done buying these movies over and over. Blu-ray is excellent quality, and really all one needs. If u remember, the studios never wanted to release 1080p content, they were afraid it would be the end of movie theaters as we know it. Movie theaters don't even offer better quality picture anymore, u just get a super large screen. 1,600,000,000 nits would require a star to generate the screen. You are right. Once the TVs hit 100% of the color reproduction, then brightness is next. So back to my question, what would be a perfect TV? Assuming the TV was able to produce 100% of the colors, is 4,000 nits the end game panacea we all are seeking. Personally I think the iPad tandem oled displays will be the way forward. Those screens are so good, and look excellent even when the brightness is turned down very low.

[@steelherrera7470]

Have you considered doing a comparison between pc monitor panels like the new OLED Samsung G8 G80SD and existing 27 inch MiniLED monitors to see which performs better?

[@stopthefomo]

Gaming monitors are their own beast because gamers either prioritize latency and frame rates (expensive 360hz OLED) or HDR impact (miniLED). Generally, OLED wins if you’re willing to pay the price. I personally prefer QDOLED for uniformity and color saturation because I’m fine with its current latency and refresh rate

These are the 3 TVs I was between for a new living room tv. I ultimately chose the LG G4 (ordered two nights ago). The reason I chose the G4 over the Bravia 9 was due to better viewing angles (living room with seating from all angles), deeper blacks and better contrast, and faster response time (I watch a lot of sports). I chose the G4 over the S95D because of Dolby vision support, better brightness, and the 5 year warranty covering burn in.

[@Mike-jm5wt]

@@zackbutler950 initially the x93l and x95k had software differences but I've received multiple firmware updates that have given me all the same features that were previously exclusive to the x93l so I'm convinced at this point in time they are basically the same TV. With that said I also have the 65" which is an inferior panel to what they put in the 85", so I think the difference between a 65" x90l is small compared to a 65" x93l/x95k, mini led is mostly a power saving feature in these models it's the bravia 9 that has turned it into an actual high performance backlight system.

@@Jodez23 not that much better, zone count is still low so the leds being "mini" doesn't make the blacks blacker.

My x900e had a 6,000 iirc native contrast ratio so these new panels Sony is buying suck, they need local dimming to fix the poor panel performance.
