Sony X95J TV | Best Picture Settings

[@tarikschmalhaus9385]

can you make a review of sony x85j

[@markborst2992]

Caleb, thanks for these videos. I settled on the x95j after watching a ton of your content. It was delivered this week and - *WOW* can't say enough good things about it. Works just as you reviewed and content looks absolutely incredible right out of the box. Looking forward to trying some of the tweaks you describe here.

[@romankuzbik7529]

Thanks Caleb I used the tips you provided on my X90J. Superb. Great stuff.

[@marxnicolaas]

Standards setting out of the box is really good!

[@camerontait9132]

Thanks Caleb, looking forward to the full review. The X95J in 75” is my number one contender this year.

[@mbj920]

it just went on sale for $2,299, it won't be any lower than that!

[@bigblue729]

Just picked up the last one at my local Best Buy for $1600. Cannot wait for it to be delivered.

[@nimanikaiyn3392]

Thank you for the review. I just bought and setup my TV and would have lost my mind on the 4k 120hz issue as that was one of the reasons of spending so much money on this model. It is odd that you have to choose between Dolby Vision and 4k 120hz but at least knowing the fact I won't lose hours on figuring out why I can't get both. This really is an amazing TV, I returned the LG C1 because of the HDCP 2.2 issue for newer models and I'm glad I did. Not worried about burn in with this and I can tell the color settings are way more accurate than the LG.

[@MrViper7121]

4k120 with Dolby vision uses too much bandwidth

[@cfioravanti]

I haven't seen a video for settings on the TCL R646. Are you planning to do one?

[@AlexThorn]

Haha I just asked the same thing!

[@UserInterface00]

I know they are vastly different, but similar in some ways. However, can these settings apply to the X90J?

[@ParzivalTheThird]

I have the same question.

[@ssmfernando]

Hey Caleb, I bought X95K 65 inches. Awsome TV. I think you and me have same taste for the picture settings. But i would like to have auto local dimming high. TV is awsome, money well spent. Cam you explain what is IMAX enhased mode? you need to do more Sony TV content.

[@gameaholic64]

Hello I just got a Sony X85J 75 inch and I’m looking for really great picture settings any suggestions? Don’t currently have a next gen console so this setting would just be for movies

[@potito5]

Would these tips be applicable to the X85J as well? Thanks

[@DebojitDatta]

This was a much needed video to set up the Tv. Thanks !! Only one thing you missed is the best picture settings for Sports...please do make video about it.

[@MSDOGS1976]

I'm guessing this should be close to the settings needed for later models like the x90l?

[@vsDouggie]

When will you do picture settings for the LG C1?

[@koperkuba]

Why You use HDMI4 instead HDMI3 for Xbox?

[@ClassyTechCalibrations]

Keep in mind there is no Dolby Vision game mode on Sony TVs. So input lag is around 150ms, which is unplayable for most games. Enhanced mode for 120hz is strongly recommended for most people with most games.

[@Janjibro66]

are there any games that actually support Dolby vision?

[@esbimbamjoh]

Thank you very much for bringing that up. In most videos and especially reviews of the X95J there is no mention of that at all! Was a deal breaker for me personally.

[@ClassyTechCalibrations]

@@Janjibro66 not natively yet

[@Janjibro66]

So you can enable dolby for any HDR game and it will enable some form of dolby vision but it's not mastered specifically for dolby to take full advantage? Would it look better in dolby mode than in standard HDR10?

[@ClassyTechCalibrations]

@@Janjibro66 no, not all HDR games go to DV on the Xbox. But the ones that do were all originally graded in HDR and then converted to DV. DV has more posterization than HDR10, and no current advantage aside from 10,000nit grades (Microsoft flight simulator) so I do not recommend playing DV yet even on LG TVs. I'll be testing Halo infinite tonight in DV to see how it does.

[@tenweipeng2199]

I bought Sony X95J & its fantastic tv, when do you use SDR & dolby thanks

[@guyr3618]

According to Rtings, motion smoothing on custom (with smoothness set to min, as it is in the custom picture mode) is just converting the native 60p signal into a 24fps video, as intended. They say it doesn't add any motion smoothing at all, and is necessary to prevent unintended judder. Are they wrong about this?

[@AlexThorn]

Hi Caleb, thanks for this video. It definitely helped me set up my recently purchased x95l. I do have a question- does the x95l have a vignette effect near the edges in a bright scene? I checked an a80l at the store but didn't notice it there.

I’m upgrading my 55” Sony Bravia 4K that’s now 4yrs old since we moved into a new home. I have a 7ft x 8ft wall cut out that’s a little over 2.5ft deep. We’ve named it the TV Nook. We get a lot of natural light through 3 windows and a sliding glass door on the opposite wall to the TV. I know up front, glare is an issue in the house. I have a $3k budget for the new tv and wall mount and I’m got to make a custom entertainment center under the tv after it’s wall mounted as well as get a new home theater sound system. But one step at a time. I do game, but haven’t upgraded to next gen. Maybe a year away from that. From your vid’s I’m torn between the Samsung QN90A, Sony X95J, and the LG. Which would you suggest or suggest another TV. Please help, looking to take advantage of some Black Friday specials.

[@bign3ck]

Amazing TV, probably sonys best

[@asafblasbergvideographer]

That's great Hector. I am just so worried about burn-in so just went with the X95J. No question the OLED will give you amazing contrast. The A90J totally blew me away when I saw it at BB.

[@RavageReeves]

@@asafblasbergvideographer X95J is the number one LCD TV this year and last year and annihilated the QN90A in real life content. The QN90A on pulls a head with static test and on paper. A proper calibrated x95j isnt far off from the best OLED for real life tests. Better then the a80j but behind the a90j

I've got 2 Sony tbs, 2015 4k android and a 2019 oled, each input has its own picture settting. E.g. for TV (Ariel) will have an individual settings, hdmi 1-4 will have their own, apps will have their own and apps (video) will have their own. So when you adjusted for the first time, they adjusted for apps, but KZbin and Netflix are apps (video) hence why they didn't merge over. Ik complicated but also really useful as I like my TV set to standard, Netflix set to cinema and hdmi2 (xbox) set to game mode for lower latency
