[@daathgnosis2098]

[@castieldiallo2945]

So, is this TV as good as the Sony Bravia A80j ?

[@gloriarossi3903]

Good evening, what about the sound of this tv? I have just bought it but I'm a little disappointed: I don't hear the bass sounds. And it is strange from sony. I have chosen it also because I trusted the sony audio quality. Could it be a problem of my tv, a defective product? Or is it the same for everyone, so this model it's simply like that? Thank you in advance.

[@damirjalali]

I bought this TV 2 weeks ago. Perfect & I approve this message

[@lisabuckley3468]

Great review. It's actually a relief to find a review for buyers considering buying at a level just under premium. I want the best for my money without stretching the budget for a basic model oled/qled. You have a great voice for narration of your videos too. Thank you.

[@thegreengamer882]

Just picked up the 85”, it’s jaw dropping. Price/quality value is insane. Almost went OLED but I wanted 85 not 77”, and this just delivers *most* of what I wanted. Plus I can play games and watch TV with logos all day and not have to worry.

[@catt3911]

Ha, same thing there, I was looking at an OLED and had the same worries.

[@denissssss8579]

I was between the same decision 85“ XH90 or OLED 77“ I picked OLED 77“ (LG C8)... and I regret it man, no burn in problems but picture quality is not a big jump.

[@SilatShooter]

I've been in the same boat. Did you compare it to the X950H? I did look at 77" OLED, but 85" is really noticably more dramatic. I'm not a gamer, just want a really great picture.

[@denissssss8579]

Zues Shamarn . It’s not about the Panel, it’s about the picture quality and picture quality comes from the TV Processor not only from the TV panel itself! I’ve owned a Sony LCD XE93 55“ and upgraded recently to a LG C8 77“ OLED, well... actually it’s a downgrade for me... I have done a side by side comparison in my room... let me explain: 1. Motion handling: LG has poorer motion handling compared to the Sony. Tv shows and games on console don’t look like 30fps more like 15-20fps... that’s due to faster pixel response I know but that ruins my gaming experience (1:0 for Sony) 2. Black crush: LG C8 has a black crush issue, even on the newer sets (C9, CX) it’s a well known issue. Sony is not Black crushing anything (2:0 for Sony) 3. Noise: LG C8 has noise in dark scenes, whenever content is dark the picture is even worse like it’s making the picture look washed out even more. I’ve compared that to my Sony and even to my iPad none of that devices are showing noise in dark scenes by the exact same video clip (3:0 for Sony) 4. Upscaling: my Sony has better upscaling quality (4:0 for Sony) 5. Picture settings: on the LG the picture settings barely do anything, yes u can increase this and that I know I know it works, but on Sony every setting changes the whole picture, xtended dynamic range low to high, local dimming low to high, u can see a big difference from any setting u choose. (5:0 for Sony) 6. Software issues: Whenever I turn on my C8, it automatically starts my console, every single time. That sucks. And no option is available not even on the internet to turn that off. That’s not how HDMI CEC should work. No problems with that on Sony. (6:0 for Sony) 7. Speaking of software: poor software support on LG, LG content store has less apps than play store on Sony, LG is not updating the LG C8 for AirPlay 2, Sony is updating all their TVs from 2018 with AirPlay 2. So I’ve paid 4000€ for the 77“ version to not get the AirPlay 2 feature nice LG 👏🏻👏🏻 (7:0 for Sony) 8. HDR: HDR is brighter on my Sony it has 1300 NITS compared to 800 from LG (8:0 for Sony) 9. Burn in: I did not have any burn in issues, but there is still a chance that u can get burn in, I have set all my devices to start screen saver as soon as possible (after 5 min inactivity on PS4), I also see a lot of image retention, compared to Sony LCD I did not have to worry about burn in at all (9:0 for Sony) 10. 3Dish look: Sony TVs have a special 3D type of look, LG and Samsung TVs look flat and like paper, on Sony u have the type of 3D behind scenes that’s amazing and I’m not the only who noticed that a lot of reviewers said that too. (10:0 for Sony) 11. Guarantee issues: High pitch noise issue from the back of my C8 I had to replace it I had guarantee so they changed it but I have ridden in the internet almost all 77“ versions have a high pitch noise from the back of the tv u hear it even when the TV was turned off. No noise from Sony at all. (11:0 for Sony) 12. Remote: Feels plastic and cheap on LG, nice premium remote on Sony (12:0 for Sony) 13. Turning TV off: when turning TV off the LG makes a click sound which is pretty loud like someone shoots with the gun, no loud sound at all by turning off Sony (13:0 for Sony) So only benefits from LG C8 Are: 1. Perfect black: 0 Blooming, yes on Sony u have about blooming but I haven’t watched tv in a dark room ever. (13:1) 2. Perfect viewing angle: first class viewing angles compared to worse viewing angle on Sony but I don’t care because I sit directly in front of the tv. (13:2) 3. World class anti reflective filter: even tho my Sony is brighter I see in a bright room more reflections on the screen, on the LG I don’t see reflections at all even if the sun directly shines into the room with 40 degrees outside. (13:3) So that Are the only benefits i have with this new tv... Conclusion: 13:3 for Sony. LG OLED C8 77“ got destroyed by a 2017 Sony LCD. I totally regret the purchase. The only thing u really get from a LG OLED are the perfect blacks. Nothing else is really mentionable... the pictured quality OVERALL is worse, yes blooming here and there but OVERALL I’ve had better picture quality on the Sony. I feel so super sad for the LG fans who think that they got the best and cheapest tv, but they don’t, LG is marketing their tv with their panel, u think u have the best tv because it’s an oled, but the panel itself doesn’t make it a good tv. It’s the chipset, upscaling, Motion handling what makes the picture quality to the top. And u can’t see that on KZbin, u can’t. U can only see that in person in real life side by side! This is the first and last time I’ve changed the brands, I’m gonna keep this chicken TV for the next 2 years and then I’m gonna upgrade instantly to a Sony ZG9 for 10.000€ or a future Sony OLED with HDMI 2.1... I’m a TV enthusiast and everything else than Sony is just pure pure trash. That’s why Sony has a premium price. U have to pay a premium price but u will get the most premium picture quality. Thanks for reading my long text. #StayHomeStaySafe #SonyForLife #AppleAndSonyBestBrandsEver

After a few weeks researching I got the 75" version of this tv and it is really fantastic. So many things built in ATSC 3.0, HDMI 2.1,4k120hz, eArc, ALLM, VRR, 7ms Game mode, AirPlay 2, Homekit, Dolby Vision,HDR10,HLG. and much more. The blacks are outstanding for LCD. Panel is plenty bright, almost too much so in some content. UX is super fast and the bluetooth remote is great (controls PS4 also). If I have a gripe it is the dark corners (vignetting), only visible at times with very white bright scenes involving the corners. Overall I love it. and am ready for PS5. Sure the OLED is amazing... But it had better be for $4000+ for a 77" CX which is almost 2x the price. YMMV

One suggestion, put on some low level (i.e. not championship) sports like football or American football as -- while I'm not a sports fan but many are -- this is the best way to showcase both sharpness and motion blur in SD (non-HD) content , and it's important for those who want a tv either for sports or for daytime tv .

Great review thanks. What is the code I should be searching for if trying to buy 49" in the UK?

[@wattspeakers]

The verdict is still out for me on the 900H. I've got the 65 and it's better than the Sony 750H I originally bought, in an attempt to move up a size class from my 55 inch Sony 750F. Unfortunately I got super spoiled with that TV without even knowing it. Since I'm not a tv guru, I hadn't realized that most of the LED TV's now have a new technology called VA, which is horrible compared to the IPS screens like in my older Sony, which has that bright colorful Sony quality picture. The VA screens may do better with blacks, but at an enormous negative impact to picture quality, clarity, color, depth, motion and reflection handling. The 900H seems to do what it can to combat the VA screen, and it's certainly better than the Samsung TU7000 and Sony 750H TVs I tried before it, but still a long way from the picture quality of the old 750F with the IPS screen. Unfortunately, the only thing Sony offers in 2020 with the IPS is the 800H, which I'd have definitely bought except it didn't have eARC, whereas the 900H does. I'll agree that the picture on the 900H does look best in "Standard Mode* with almost all the gadgets and gizmos turned to off. What all that wizardry is for, I've got no clue, but it didn't help combat that dirty, dingy, VA Panel. I think the only thing saving this TV is that it's decently bright. Other than that... I'd recommend buying either a used IPS version of a Sony, or shelling out the money for the OLED version. I got my 65" 900H on sale for under $1000, but I still think that's way over priced for the picture quality. For me, it's not a horrible looking TV and it gave me the eARC feature I wanted for the surround sound system, but it's a far cry from the quality IPS screens they used to make.
