It was a pleasure sitting in this room with you guys covering this. This was one of the most helpful rooms at mwave!

[@AeroDude73]

If the TVs were not covered, meaning the logos or labels, that would be in my opinion, the only way for people to honestly pick their favorite TV! Because some may go in with preconceived notions, as you said, for a certain model and not go towards that TV in terms of the vote so to speak. So if the TVs were labeled, with the Sony label, LG, Samsung, etc., then to me that is not a fair and honest shoot out so to speak. I think someone brought this up in the last year or so at different shootouts also. Cover the Sony, cover the LG, cover up the labels, then have people come, watch a bunch of different content, and select the best TV in their opinion.

[@gbej1]

If I remember correctly usually mask the brands of the TVs, certainly when Vincent from HDTV hosts these sort of shootout he also ensures it's done. I think the reason why they identified the brands right away in this video is because this not really a shootout but a description of each TV

I had no idea which was which. Was dark when I went in. Fun to guess = could have a contest. 🤷

[@crowntotheundergroud]

I heavily agree. The G4 is overhyped. It’s a great TV, but I’ll never pick a fucking woled over qd-oled. Also, i don’t subscribe to any of this “processing” bullshit. I don’t really have any experience with Sony’s “superior processing,” and i’ve never really seen these high end televisions side by side, so my opinion on this really doesn’t matter, but the only time I ever want any kind of “processing” on my image is if any upscaling is going on, or for tone mapping. I really don’t understand how sharpening works, but I mostly want the signal going to my display to be unaffected. I always hear about “processing” and I think it’s all placebo. Show me some actual evidence of this processing instead of telling me “i can definitely see more clarity here, i just see more of that 3d pop.” Lol sorry for my rant.

One of the attendees of MWAVE made a great video about his experience of this comparison. His channel is called Spencer's Stuff, I recommend anyone watching this video to check out his video next. He gives a pretty solid overview of how he thought all the tv's performed across the different scenes. This experience convinced him to buy the Bravia 9 despite the fact that the 65' was used, which is the least performant Bravia 9 variant.

who in their right mind would want to deal with a flat image with blooming, bad viewing angles and less 3D Pop/Depth than even the Bravia 8 G4 and A95L are simply on another level than Bravia 9. Hence they are rated 9.2 on Rtings.

[@FURognar]

ya'll needed to drop the backlight on the QM8. It was too bright for the camera to pick up the details compared to the others.

[@ramonzaions7522]

Yes ... lose alot of details!

[@paulcox2447]

These didn't look like this in person at all. A camera simply can't capture multiple TV's at the same time, let alone different types of TV's. There is major color shifts on OLED and QD OLED compared to what you see with your eyes. Anyone who chooses a TV based on something like this is making a mistake, especially if it's because of perceived color temperature.

[@FURognar]

@@paulcox2447 of course. Adjusting the camera to make the MiniLEDs look good would compromise the OLEDs and vice versa. Each technology type has their strengths and weaknesses and you have to see them in person to make an informed determination.

[@FenixPajarito]

But the problem with the oleda tvs is that they can't keep the peak brightness for long. I have own many Oleds and after a while the panels dims which is annoying in my opinion so that's the reason I am thinking on getting the TCL QM851 but we'll see.

[@vikingsfan2218]

The LG G4 is the OLED that will dim the least while watching content over time. According to RTINGS, it can sustain a little over 300 nits of brightness in a full 100% window (in SDR) which is higher than any other OLED on the market. Most of them cap out at around 200 nits. It still can’t hold a candle to miniLED TVs though. Most of those can sustain 600 nits or higher full screen brightness. If you really hate ABL I’d just go for a miniLED. 300 nits still isn’t that much (especially in a bright environment) so dimming will be noticeable. Also keeping the brightness high in a WOLED panel is only possible by washing out the image due to the over brightening of the white sub-pixel. And OLED pixels are organic so they degrade over time. That brightness definitely won’t be as strong after a couple of years of consistent usage

It’s worth noting to all you saying that the QM8 is too bright, that camera can’t even properly capture the brightness especially when the exposure is set up for LCDs and OLEDs. It’s not blown out, it’s the camera. Source: I own it, doesn’t look like that in person.

[@ADISTOD3MUS]

It really is. And the latest 0 '23, 0'24 minileds from Samsung also are getting so slept ON, at least in KZbin for some weird reason since in the stores are getting sold as fresh bread 🍞. The QN95D is a mind blowing TV meanwhile everyone is talking about the Bravia 9 which is an amazing TV too no doubt but I still think the QN95D looks better in any aspect, especially off angles and HDR gaming wise. Also the local dimming in Samsung is on par with the Bravia 9 one if not better in some aspects since it covers more percentage of the black levels than Bravia 9 does and the blooming control is a little bit better in Samsung. Whoever tells you otherwise is just a fanboy, fanboying around since I talk from personal experience and not out of my ass like lots do.

The 95L colors are brighter, which is great, but it's not even close to a night a day comparison. The iPad Pro Tandem OLED display is amazing and that display is technically WB-OLED, well 2 of them sandwiched together. If you have not seen one, go see it! Apparently Dell just ordered 100k tandem oled panels, not sure for what products. One thing I noticed about the iPad Pro display is that it is bright even when the brightness is low or at the lowest.

Bravia 9 still.insane . G4 choice

[@hemieed1]

Hi Fomo. I had purchased an A80L 83" after how good Brian's looked. But it had a great color, but it had a bad panel with grey vertical streaks. And also had some audio Gremlins. So I've had my bravia 9 85" for 2 days now, and it looks alsome. I've been getting the calibration dialed in, and I'm loveing it. Thanks for all of your and Brian's videos. I had to go with the poor man's g4, lol 😅

[@KevinAroni-uz5rl]

A95l 100%

[@coogacygnus]

It’s crazy that A95L still holding up against 2024 TVs..

[@TheAntifluencer]

A95L is technically a 2024 TV, it came out very late in 2023 and it still costs more than the G4 and S95D. Bravia 9 is not a worthy 2024 Sony TV, MiniLED can't compete.

[@ramouchoGaucho]

And the Panasonic Z95A ? (Or Mz2000)..

[@TheAntifluencer]

Z95A definetly slays the Bravia 9 MiniLED.

[@ramouchoGaucho]

@@TheAntifluencer have you seen a side by side comparison ?

[@TheAntifluencer]

@@ramouchoGaucho Nah, but even the C4 looks better than the Bravia 9. Bravia 9 is barely better than the X95L, MiniLED is overglorified ancient Tech this year for some reason (only because it's a Sony). The Image on MiniLED TV's look flat and doesn't pop out at all ! There is a reason it's always OLED winning every award.

This made me more confused. Do I buy the Bravia 9 for the upscaling low bit rate sports or the G4 or something else if the tv is going to be in use all the time...

[@salesfocus6270]

Well the Bravia 9 has better upscaling for low bit rate content. It's also brighter so got SDR content you'll get a better experience. G4 will be better with all the lights off but won't be as realistic and does still have the OLED limitations.

[@RafaelMll]

Excuse me? The G4 over the Sony A95L? And what's this about the G4 not having the burn in issues?

[@Amfibios]

about thw burn in, i guess they mean that there's less chance for a burn in, due to the white subpixel which can make the whites really bright without too much strain

[@marvinabugov4579]

Any colour banding on the C4?

[@stuartjohnson-u5c]

Dear Fomo, I’m looking for a 65” tv for the well lit family room with wide viewing angles. I have found an lg C3 for $1499 or an A80L for $1599. Mostly will be watching sports on KZbin tv along with some casual viewing while cooking etc. our layout places the tv by a large window with lots of natural light but no direct sunlight (blinds are also available)… Will I notice a difference with Sony’s xr clear when watching football this fall on NFl Sunday ticket? Or is OLED not the choice for a brighter room? I have an 85” x90L for a basement setup and it’s phenomenal

[@stopthefomo]

A80L better than the C3 for the content you like including football. Whether it's bright enough depends on what you're coming from? If an older LCD TV, then the A80L has a similar brightness but if recent miniLED then you may have to go with the S90C 77" or 65"

Get bravia 8 it will give you a better image when watching streaming content. It has better sound with it's acoustic surface.

s90c for sure. Way better color and contrast. Great tv

Hey, FOMO. Bravia 9, 85 inches, 50 field of view, 6'7 feet away on a sofa which is as long as the TV will the people sitting at the end be fine or will they start to lose colour & bloom? Cheers, awesome video! The hype is real!

[@justinxsw]

If I have a budget around 5k to spend on a new tv. What tv should I go for? Immersion vs picture quality? Due to my living room I sit around 10-12ft from the tv. We mostly watch tv shows, sports. Our living room is bright. We also love watching movies at home (at night) trying to get the home theater experience. I am really considering size over quality. With that being am I really going to notice a big difference in 86inch ish to 100 inch?

[@TheAntifluencer]

Not a surprise at all here, Bravia 9 was so overhyped to the Moon, it was bound to fail to the masterfully crafted Alpha Gen a11 which surpassed Sony's XR Cognitive in terms of raw 3D Depth, contrast, Details clarity and resolution. The G4 is simply THE best looking TV since the A95L...it's not close. Rtings 9.2 score against a 8.8 score of Bravia 9. Sorry big gap !

[@amen_ra6926]

This answered one of my questions regarding viewing modes. I've been wondering if people change modes based on content. That would be totally annoying to me. I would prefer "a set it and forget it" mode. Do owners actually change modes all the time? My viewing habits are made up of a lot of the usual streaming services, a lot of KZbin tutorials, and some live sports during football season and some soccer. I very very rarely will watch DVDs anymore (Standard or Blu-ray). I've mentioned that I'm still watching a 2009 46" Samsung local dimming TV that still looks fine to me. So anything would be a significant upgrade. I don't cycle tech with that kind of price point every 5-6 years if it still works.

[@srhna87]

Hi FOMO, between TCL 98QM8851G and Samsung QN98QN90D which Tv is best. Both are 98inch tvs.

[@stopthefomo]

I'd choose the QN90D for many reasons but you're paying a premium for that! HOWEVER, QM8 is brighter and more impactful but accuracy out of the box is not as good.

As an A95L owner. It’s nice to see it’s still right there with the S95D and G4. Slightly brighter is the G4 but the color volume still isn’t quite on the level. I think the Bravia 9 comes into play at the 85 inch size for sure. The price difference between that and an 83 G4 if I was in the heavyweight division would definitely have me consider the 9. I know every Best Buy tv is on vivid but the 85 Bravia 9 I saw on display looked amazing.
