Sony absolutely DESPISES and ABUSES their most loyal consumers. After 30+ years of supporting this train wreck, I'm done. See our G4 unboxing video (and video description) for details.

[@MrDjslav5]

This is one hell of a breakdown Sir. Well done.

Now I have the tools to sort out all this mess. I don't care about thickness nor do I watch from extreme angles, but I do have a budget so mini-LED backlighting seems like a good compromise. This is the first video of yours I've seen and you've packed a ton of good information in and organized it well, putting everything into good context. Magnificent.

[@glenngross605]

I wish that you would have addressed the possibility of OLED burn in for certain users. My professionally calibrated LG E7 has finally shown this. I can’t complain too much after this many years, but I tend to keep my TVs for a fairly long time (there’s still a Pioneer 600m Kuro in the basement). My use case still has quite a bit of SDR cable and streaming, so processing is extremely important. To be fair, both you, Brian, and others address this in your detailed reviews. So, the 65” E7 will find a new home, and replacement contenders are the 85 inch Bravia 9, one of the remaining X95Ls, or possibly the new LG QNED 90T. I’m eagerly awaiting the results of this weekend’s upcoming shootout. If the Hisense U9N ever hits the market and gets a timely review, I’ll consider it, as well as the Samsungs. I was tempted by last year’s Hisense UX at this year’s blow out price but I’ll hold out. Keep up the good work.

[@kendil22]

LED can burn in as well, just has a lower chance. The damn things aren't built to last 10+ years anymore, whichever tv you buy will probably fail before you have burn in issues OLED or not. Also modern OLED's don't have a burn in issue unless you're watching something like CNN 24/7 with their silly banner.

I have an ancient 2011 LED edge lit 3D Sharp TV that's keeps going and going. That thing has been on for an average of 16 hours a day, every day since I got it in 2011. Still looks great, but has been relegated to bedroom use. Wonder if newer TV's will last that long?

[@abruegger007]

I also have a Sharp Aquos TV, 65" and I got it in 2011. Never new when I bought it that it was going to be such a good TV! It's still working great. The older CRT TV's didn't last near as long and had terrible pictures. Today all the TV's sound complicated and when I eventually have to get a new one, I just want to know what the best top 3 ones are.

[@DRAM-68]

Great thorough breakdown of the different technologies. In a future video, maybe you can discuss OLED burn-in. I understand this issue isn’t as bad as it used to be but I’m interested in the risk of burn-in for the current TVs.

[@wht80vette]

Yep my OLED was awesome until burn in happened within 7 months…never again

[@NeverDauntedRadioNetwork]

@@wht80vetteit’s this simple: don’t watch the same thing or play the same games for more than 8 hours at a time. If the images are varied, and you don’t use maximum brightness at all times, the built-in pixel refreshers will prevent image retention or burn in. Yeah it sucks that you actually have to take care of your expensive equipment, but it’s almost like a sports car.

[@rc6614]

Still have my sony bravia kdl 4100 47” from 2008. still looks great. Which TV compares to this one as far as durability.

[@superiormind7882]

QN900D all day! The brightness and color and contrast is unbeatable. The S95D is good but the overheating causes it to dim constantly.

I've noticed that the 800C, amongst other Samsungs, but mostly the 8K models, have visible LEDs. i.e. you can actually see the LEDs and their location. Pure junk. Mostly noticeable when blue is on screen, like a blue sky.

[@betaraybill3548]

The heating is also noticeable on my LG B4 OLED.

[@jakesmith5739]

The best breakdown on KZbin. You helped me a few years ago when I was shopping for myself, and now I am researching for a family member, and once again you are totally clutch. Thank you!

[@jamesbobo]

I am on a super budget. Recently, I upgraded my 40" 1080P Samsung to the 50" 4K Samsung DU7200 for only $329 on sale at Best Buy. It's edge-lit but not all that thin. Oddly enough, the back panel does get warm, but not at the edges, it's warm in the center. But, even if it lasts half as long as the other TV's you mentioned, it's 1/3 the price. I'm 74 and collecting social security so my income is limited and I got what I could afford.

[@anulearntech]

Perhaps because its power board or cpu is in the centre of the tv

[@michael-4k4000]

Yeah it's not the LED lights that get hot.

[@larryc1616]

Great deal! That's exactly what i want to do to replace my 43" 1080p lcd Sony bravia from 2010. 300-500 is my budget.

You skipped over the person who wants a quality TV the sits 6-10 feet away but doesn’t have the wall space or want the eyesore of more than 65” to watch movies and Netflix and can’t imagine paying more for a 5 year max lifespan TV than they paid for their first car.

[@edithboozy1000]

Why would you think it's relevant to compare the price of your first car to a thing that you are buying today?

[@thomaswomack3888]

your analysis is impeccable and so helpful. For my own part, I mostly watch tv in a darkened room but sometimes its a saturday afternoon matinee. Given that scenario, I need the LCD with all the bells and whistles. OLED kicks it on quality but it becomes questionable in a room that has significant light from the windows. Do I want OLED, well sure for the quality, but because my home is my home and not a dedicated theater, LCD wins. Compromises, we all make them. And that is where I have to go. Thanks for helping me sort it out.

I’m LG 65” E7/C1 OLED now, but TCL’s QN851G at 98” is tempting for a living-room upgrade. 83” v 98” and next year’s TCL 115” as a possibility makes things super hard. I fell in love with OLED because of the blacks, but TCL proves mini-LED is doing blacks justice now. Thoughts FOMO & FOMO fam?

[@ThatGuy_Pal]

i’d be afraid the tcl wouldn’t last half as long as the LG

[@ShubNiggurath159]

Thank you, the FOMO review helped me with my Sony x95L, because I use it with my computer and don't want to risk burning the image. FOMO said that it doesn't have to happen, but according to rtings test, reddit, LG G3 had a burn-in problem. As a monitor, OLED is still a risk and it was confirmed by LG itself that this is not covered by the warranty, I reached out to LG and they wrote me back. That for my use OLED is not a good idea and I should choose another TV or another brand.

[@TheLeadG]

They specifically said you cannot take there test as evidence for that. It’s WAYYYYY too small a sample size. Just because 1 or a couple tvs had a problem doesn’t indicate something being a widespread issue.

[@FionatheFiend]

Thank you for all the detailed information. I mainly use my TV/Monitor as a PC display and upgrade whenever Nvidia releases their fastest Video Card. When the 2080ti came out, I bought a new 65" 8 Series Samsung 4K TV (It can only do 120hz at 1440p back then, but no game can run 4K smoothly anyway). Then when the 3090 came out, I went with a Samsung Neo G9 47". After that, I purchased a Samsung Neo G9 57" when the 4090 came out. Now the 5090 is about to come out and I really want to go back to using a big 65" 4k display. I always wanted an OLED display and appreciate the picture quality compared to all my previous VA panels. This time I purchased a Samsung S95D QD OLED 65" as my main PC display. PC Games on this display are going to look amazing. It's still in the box and going to mount it on the wall and set it up as my computer display later today. This TV/Monitor should serve me well for the next couple of years until it's time to change again.

[@justinpenn9250]

I live on the east coast of Florida and was without grid power for 40 hours after Milton passed thru. I have solar with 2 power walls that kept me in power the whole time. I did back off on usage - rose the AC temperature etc. even so the daytime was providing about 10 times less energy and the batteries did not get to full charge before sundown. Point is - I would not have lasted much longer unless I got some decent sunlight. Best advantage of the power walls is that my power never glitched- I only knew power was out because the app said so…

Thank you for your advice. It has worked for me 3 different times on tv purchases.

[@WilliamMeder]

Great Video-- but I still need some help deciding? I have a den in my condo with no direct lighting sources that can't be eliminated. My TV will be 7.5 feet from my farthest viewing area--directly in front of the screen. I do no play video games--but I like movies and sports. I may be able to fit a 65" TV in the space--but 55" is more likely the correct size for the area. I was leaning towards the LG OLED B4 model but you intrigued me with the choice of the TCL QM8 mini-LED choice. Am I splitting hairs here or do I save some money and buy the TCL. BTW I am replacing a Vizio 50" 2007 LCD model. Love to hear your thoughts--Bill

Some points like actual color will look much better on a QD mini led over oled. Sony best oled colors are incredible but the whites look washed like grayish. LED will last longer than OLED and will not suffer from image burn. As for gaming the s90d is 144 refresh not 120. There is just so many options

When comparing Rtings's reviews for the Sony non mini-LED X90L with the Hisense U8N and TCL 2024 QM8, I'd still go with the Sony. After comparing the Rtings reviews, I'm still satisfied with my X90L even though it might have more blooming and its highlights might not get as bright because of its accuracy and the various other areas of importance to me it excels in all at once. I got my Sony 85-inch X90CL from Costco for $2,000 in December of 2023 and even after checking out Rting's reviews of the 2024 offerings, I couldn't be happier about how the Sony X90CL falls perfectly within that sweetspot of performance, size, and price. I still wait for its rival within this sweetspot, but none of the reviews have revealed such results at this moment.

[@stopthefomo]

I'd choose it over last year's QM8 as well but this year's U8N is a beast and I would choose it over the X90L

[@chriskelly1740]

@@stopthefomo It depends on what's more important I guess. For this price range, if deep black levels, minimal blooming, and extra bright specular highlights are most important, then the Hisense U8N and TCL 2024 QM8 would be the way to go. If pre-calibration color accuracy, shadow detail, gradient handling, and PQ EOTF tracking are more important, then for the price, I prefer the Sony X90L from 2023 which is still being carried over. At this price, we have to pick our poison. If money was no object, I'd have a Sony 85-inch Bravia 9 on one cart and a 77-inch Sony A95L on the other cart. I'd choose which one to roll into my viewing area based on ambient lighting, time of day, what I'm watching, etc.. While not many of us can afford it including myself, having a Sony 85-inch Bravia 9 on one cart and a 77-inch Sony A95l on another cart is perfection. My reservations about the LG G4 is its less saturated color due to its WOLED panel.

You failed to mention that OLEDs in ANY form or technology CAN'T SUSTAIN the brightness for a long time and the degrade more rapidly than LCD/LED TVs. Also, even the bright LG pales in a bright room environment , that IS the most common TV environment around the world

[@amen_ra6926]

How bright of a room is bright? Are we talking just your normal ambient light from windows with the curtains closed or wide open windows and every available light turned on? I would think it's a relative term. For example, I live in a 2bdrm apt and my current old TV sits across from a big glass west facing sliding door to my balcony that has dark curtains that stay closed pretty much 24/7. Just opening them slightly creates a glare that's annoying. The only light entering the space is from light bleed around those curtains and ambient light from other parts of the apt; kitchen, bathroom, and bedroom windows that have closed vertical blinds.

[@droidattack2888]

Non oled fans fail to mention rtings testing recent oleds and leds that a lot of the leds were failing at the same rate just not to burn-in

[@mrpedrodrodriguezsr7628]

@@droidattack2888 The edge lighted TVs are the most common to fail, or those that are always driven hard at max brightness. My experience in TV stations favors LCD TV for their durability and less processing to protect organic compounds that by nature degrades.

@@droidattack2888 I have 4 TVs in my house, an old Samsung 32' with CCFL tubes for backlight, a 40 "Samsung with LED backlight, a Panasonic 55" LED set with 360 backlight Comtrol and the main TV is a 75" Sony also with LED full array backlight. The older Samsung was the first Samsung sold in the USA with an ATSC-1 tuner. All are running as new, and I calibrated them. I have had experience with TVs since the late '40s as a rf Engineer and had experienced a lot of burn in since then. The first LCD TVs had a problem with the color filters that degraded with UV light from the backlight and the surrounding fluorescent lights. Manufactures solved this problem immediately. We use LCDs in our TV studios and production all around and OLEDs only for color grading under light-controlled venues. When someone ask me for advice on a TV, I ALWAYS ASK for their viewing environment and the majority of them aren't favorable for OLEDs, no matter what "experts" say.

I own a Sony A9G OLED master series 77’’ and now I’m enjoying the PS5 pro. However, the A9G doesn’t support HDMI 2.1or VRR. What should I get instead?

[@kaelmedia8693]

Recently bought TCL X955 after owning 3 OLED TVs earlier, 77” C1 being the last. Do I prefer the inky black from OLED, of course. But with the contrast control and size of the mini leds, easy choice. Now with 98” I would probably need a 100+ OLED to make the next switch.

[@chrisc_1012]

I bought an LG C1 on a deal when the C2 came out I'm yet to see a significant enough change to make it worth upgrading from my C1. I shall have to see what the G5 offers and its price, or maybe weight for a Black Friday sale on the G5 next year

[@kingkobra1956]

I've had the A90J for three years and could upgrade to any display but there isn't any logical reason to. It's bright enough for me and the picture is stellar.

hi, i am eyeing on Samsung QN900D 85inch, LG C4 83inch, or bravia 9 85inch. Viewing distance is about 10f away from the TV, the largest TV that i can fit is 85inch. I am not a gamer and we are watching movie and daily TV programme. Which one would you recommend for my setting?

[@jvsaenz80]

which one did you go with? and what do you think of it?

[@kheanchyuanyap6562]

@ Hi. I ended up buying Bravia 9. The colour and picture quality is stunning.

[@mahasidha9]

LG G5 has just completed dropped the MLA technology for some kind of 4 layer tech which they say is 30% brighter and more efficient. Panasonic back in the USA also is not using MLA and has a 4 layer tech. I have top of the line Panasonic plasma which was discontinued immediately thereafter and am thinking about the G4 but the differences between it and the G5 are not .00001 The G4 65 inch at Best Buy is 2799 I am guessing the G5 with their gen 2 processor in the same size will retail for 3499. Since I keep sets for so long should I wait? The cost will amortize over time. What say you if you had to choose 2024 G4 or 2025 G5 or Panasonic? Thank you in advance.

[@mahasidha9]

Thanks for the heart; would you be kind enough to answer the question? Thanks again.

[@TruTechnoGamer]

Nice video FOMO with helpful info. Interesting that you say you would put the G4's and S95D's brightness up there with the Bravia 9. You should know since you've compared with the reference monitor 😃. Lots of folks still balk at OLED"s lack of full screen brightness compared to MiniLEDs and lower peak brightness (~1500nits OLED vs ~3000nits+ for MiniLeds). Are you saying that real world watching, the difference isn't that great?

[@stopthefomo]

Correct - full screen brightness (100% stimulus white) of the Bravia 9 is brighter but that does not exist in real content. The Bravia 9 is bright and arguably among the brightest on window stimulus tests but in real content the G4 and S95D match it scene for scene (65" size of course). ALSO, please remember that firmware updates may improve B9 performance or worsen OLED performance so things may change in 3 mnonths!

I have a 77 Sony A80J and I'm very happy with it!!!!! I stream Netflix,prime,etc. I also watch movies on blu ray and 4k blu rays!!! If I upgrade it will probably be a QD OLED 83 inch whenever they come out with it!!!! I wonder if the QD OLED is worth the upgrade????????

[@amen_ra6926]

What about the S90C if you can still find one. My local Costco still has them. The $1499 price has not budged.

[@t.k.morris]

Have you decided anything yet? 10/31/24

[@amen_ra6926]

@@t.k.morris Nope. A friend sent me some info on a BestBuy deal on a 65" S90C for $1169 a couple of days ago. It was very tempting but I have an issue that I have to resolve with my car first that I don't know how much will cost. While I probably have the funds to cover both, there's still the holiday shopping on the horizon plus air travel expense. The timing is not the best. So I had to miss out. I still have to stay with my '09 46" Samsung 8500. I have no plans to upgrade any time soon.

What about “burn in”? Between CNBC, CNN, FOX & online poker my current 2016 B4 LG OLED has now banner, logos and poker table dark / green burn in. Looking for new 85” Tv.. Thoughts? Ty

[@veot.2869]

Very good job!! I listened well and OLED would STILL be my choice.

[@timothylink4386]

The S95 is as bright as the Bravia 9? The tests results I see are 286 cd/m2 for the S95D. The Bravia 9 is at 784 cd/m2. That's for full screen, which is important. At the 2% window size they're closer, but the Bravia 9 is still brighter at about 2000 compared to 1600. The problem with the S95 going all the way from 286 to about 1600 is it makes the ABL far too aggressive. For me, I'd have to turn the S95 down so that it's peaks didn't exceed about 500 to keep the ABL from bothering me. For outdoor, daylight scenes, that 286 full screen brightness is not going to satisfy me, even in a dark room. If they can get it up to around 500 sustained full screen on the OLED, I'll start paying attention. I saw the iPad's new tandem OLED display and that's more than good enough brightness for me for indoor, lower light viewing. If they can ever get an OLED TV that bright it might be overkill, but I wouldn't complain! I can always turn it down.

[@LoveHateVikes]

Can you tell me the difference between the Hisense QD7 & U7N? Thanks man. Love your videos. 🙏🏾💜🤙🏾

[@Yoga_Tv_buying]

QD7 is -- QLED . U7N is mini led ! Mini led r way better . Usually 4X local dimming zones ! QD7 still good tho . It’s good entry mid range QLED . For example Sony X90L is -- QLED . Sony X93L n X95L r mini LED . Then SONY X85K(matted screen ) , X80K r -- old tech direct LED . No local dimming , kinda like premium version of Hisense Roku entry . Not even the Roku with QLED(still glossy ) . QD7 is innsane value . It’s d best thing for lowest cost . But U7K is much advanced , brighter , higher local dimming , better speakers (🔊 with sub woofer ? U7N U8K U8N has high end chip -- can do 4k “^7^ 144hz 🖥️ pc Gamming . Console 120hz plug in n play. I assume QLED qd7 is has lesser HZ. Just fine toning also ULED line has 18 feet high sensitivity Voice command sensor Z u can talk to TV 📺 talk to tv remote . It can search “👀…. Show “ u don’t have to type it out on key board or SHOUT at the TV for voice commands . U can tell tv to shut off etc . Lots perks.
