SONY BRAVIA 9 The TV Of The Future! Agree or Not.

The SONY BRAVIA 9 is clearly a success this year for Sony and perhaps the best TV this year. In this Tech Therapy video Fomo and I will describe what sets the Bravia 9 apart from other mini leds including it's own past versions. Thank you for watching and I'll see you in the comments!
You can purchase the Sony Bravia 9 and any other AV equipment from our good friends at Value Electronics valueelectronics.com/ or call them directly at 914 723 3344 and ask for Robert or Wendy and please mention Brian at BRIAN'S TECH THERAPY.

I was really nervous before buy the B9 (screen uniformity), but all nerves dissipated within the first hour of viewing and testing, I'm truly blown away. Thanks for the video guys 👍🏼

[@aggies11]

Love hearing you guys' discussions, you can review a TV and thats fine, but hearing these long detailed discussions with two people who really know what they are talking about but are also comfortable with each other to just shoot the breeze, you can really learn so much more. Thanks for all the time you put in.

[@HDTVShootout]

Thank you both for another excellent discussion on one of the hottest TVs for the 2024 model year! You are a great TV experts by yourselves and you make a great team that gives everyone who watches this video everything anyone would want to learn about Sony's new flagship BRAVIA 9 QD MiniLED TV.

[@Dr_No_PhD]

Was between the B9 and G4. After much deliberation I chose the 77” G4 for viewing angle and, (here’s the kicker) because the G4 actually ended up being several hundred dollars cheaper than the B9 through the LG Partner store plus Memorial Day discount when I bought it.

[@sekiro2936]

I bought the Bravia-9 in 85 inch with the Sony BRAVIA Theatre Quad and am absolutely thrilled. The Picture of the Bravia 9 is magnificent in combination with the BRAVIA Theatre Quad, Movies and PS5 Games are outstanding and an incredible experience.

[@StreetBandLogic]

Hello Brian, this is Michael. It was great meeting you and FOMO at MWAVE last weekend. You gave me some great advice regarding my JVC NZ8 vs. the 97" LG G2 OLED. The Bravia 9 is genuinely a top-tier performer in 2024; it would be my choice if I wasn't such a fan of OLED. Thanks again and keep up the great work!

[@modernwize]

Bravia 9 looked pretty good in person. 7/10. Feels like a $2500 TV at most.

[@aggies11]

Real good points about the basic image processing for just handling brightness. 4K means around 8 million pixels. That is a lot to manage and keep straight. That digital information has to be turned into real world physical results. You can just move the LCD pixels, you also have to light them. Trying to sync up 8 million pixels with thousands of individual LED lights, and then managing the brightness of each one, potentially at upwards of 120 changes per second, that's like trying to conduct the worlds largest symphony! It's such an ambitious idea alone, and amazing what modern TV tech is able to produce. Local diming zones are a great compromise when you can't get as much fine grain control of each LED at such high sync rates. But they are still no substitute for the LEDS themselves, if Sony is able to get better control of each LED with finer grain brightness, then diming zones become less significant. Great discussion.

[@Swecan76]

I agree and there there is more to it than 8.3 million pixels. An LCD panel at 4K has 24.9 million LCD crystals that need to twist to let light through or block it.

I have seen a test from Bravia9, I am glad I bought the LG G4. I have a PS5 and play Call of Duty in 1440 in 120 hertz, Bravia 9 does not support 1440, higher input level. 2 HDMI 2.1 ports, vieuwngangel les, sometimes blooming, so the total package is simply better, the G4.

[@brokenwrench404]

We’re all waiting for the G4 vs B9 heavyweight edition. 83” vs 85”

[@bartus88]

In scenes that favour OLED the B9 still gets pretty close to the G4, however in scenes that favour LED the B9 is miles ahead of the G4. So you can make good arguments that the B9 has the better overall picture quality. If you extend the discussion to include aspects other than PQ, the G4 still has the same issues that OLED has always had and always will have. So if you're judging the total package it's a pretty clear win for the B9.

Future Proof is not really a thing anymore with how fast tech is changing...I thought 8K was future proofing ... I owned both a 75" Z8H and now a 85" Z9K 😅. But I bought them for their peak brightness and picture quality Z8H @ 2500 nits and the Z9K @ 3500-4000 nits...8K was just something additional 🤔

[@whitecrowuk575]

Brian did hit the nail on the head - on majority of scenes oled was looking brighter - only in very few when content indeed was pushing hard B9 was brighter. Let’s not forget better Oled contrast will make brightness seem higher even though being same - it’s not that Oled was brighter, it looked brighter - that’s what infinite contrast does. So b9 in given sizes is simply no go over similar Oled sizes.

[@paulcox2447]

Sometimes the OLED's are brighter because the dimming algorithm of LED's is forced to dim highlights if they are right next to black. Either that or you get a washed out area where it blooms.

[@whitecrowuk575]

@@paulcox2447 I’m referring to washed out areas - where small dark detail is present - that even though brightness is the same - oled contrast will make picture to pop more giving a feeling of higher brightness. In other words where oled can keep up with brightness often will look brighter. With majority of scenes Oled can keep up with brightness - even when movie mastered to 4000 nits. Now personal choice is whether you prefer minority of scenes with higher brightness or majority that’s under 1500 nits peak.

Give me contrast and black levels over a tv that burns the hell out of my eyes. Everyone is NIT crazy when it comes to tvs now days that its laughable. I have said it a million times and that is Mini LED will never beat OLED because LED is still LED no matter how you cook it or hype it. I will never go back to LED. Now when Micro LED hits?

Are you mesmerized by the picture? I spent 2 hours in Bestbuy comparing the Bravia 9 against all the best TVs ... G4, S95D, S90, A95L....and my conclusion is: The Bravia 9 compared to the top performing OLEDs.......the OLEDs pictures sucks you in with their 3D image, rich colors, contrast, and inky blacks. The Bravia 9 picture looks flat....... it doesn't have that OLED pop either when it comes to colors. And I'm sorry to all those people who recently bought the Bravia 9, because you got suckered into the Sony hype on their TVs and you overpaid for a TV.......so don't try to justify your poor purchase decision. Being a Brighter TV doesn't equal better.....nope!

B9 = Blooming opening menus (local dimming if turned off for some reason) annoying. Viewing angle on B9 is poor and you see blooming in black bars and subtitles easy. So for now I still can't buy it. Back to OLED, paying extra 1000$+ for a OLED with zero blooming is 100% worth it.
