your assessment on the Sony A80J and A80K didn't age well... The A80K is noticeably brighter because they are using the new EVO panel. Also the 77inch A80K is cheaper than the 77in A80J....
The video I really needed after all the crazy announcements at CES. But what about Hisense? I feel like their switch to mini LED is a big deal considering their TVs were already so good for regular LEDs. Especially the U8 series.
I just got the A90J 65 inch last November for $4000 and I’m absolutely satisfied with what I got. So definitely not looking to buy any new tv any time soon..no matter how much FOMO I may feel 😂
@@tracer073 yeah definitely lucky... I also have an LG C9 and CX and there's no way I would pay full price for the Sony A90J..the PQ is not worth the price in my opinion

First, great job. Love your presentation style, and speed of conveying information. I have to replace my Sony XBR-65x900A because of lines on the screen (seems that Sony has a design defect that they only extended the warranty for Japanese customers on ... sigh). I'm looking at the 2021 65" A80J vs. the newly announced 2022 65" A80K ... and like you, was disappointed to see that they weren't on display at CES (was baffled when I walked into their booth). You pretty definitively say that you don't see much difference between the A80J vs. A80K. After hours of looking for information, it appears to me that the A80K *might* have better anti-glare (seems the 65" A80J diffused glare is counterproductive), up to 20% brighter screen on A80K by using the WBE OLED from LG instead of the WBC, better sounds (3 screen actuators giving you more of a center channel with stereo compared to two actuators), and better longevity/power consumption because of the WBE OLED. Were you able to see or did you hear about these differences specifically on the 65" A80J vs. A80K? It's not as much about the extra $300 as it is waiting the extra 3 months. :)
It would be great if you could also review the software / UI / UX side of each TV brand. Most of the time, it's the features and user experience that counts more than picture quality.
Right now I am rocking with my X900H and even knowing about all of these improvements I still love my X900H.

Best of the best. Thanks for this video. After watching you today, I’m more inclined to pull the trigger on the A90J instead of waiting to see a comparison of the it against the A80K.

Two questions for FOMO. Firstly, you told us that A80K would be too minor an upgrade for us to buy that instead of a discounted A80J. However, are you referring to 77A80J here with the glossy screen an an EVO panel? Would a 65A80K make more sense than a 65A80J with the semi-gloss screen and the older, non-EVO panel? Secondly, what would be your prediction regarding X95K vs A80J/K? Could X95K be so close to the Sony OLED that it would make more sense, especially since you wouldn't have to worry about burn-in or image retention?
Please don't listen to this guy and for the love of god or anything do NOT make a decision based on his speculations. He hasn't even seen most of the TVs and even if he did, he cannot make a distinction if it's brighter or better etc since it's not tested and not side by side with last years models.. Yet here he is "confident" in saying QN90A is just as good as QN90B.. He has no clue..
As for LED TVs, I think my Q90r can still hold its own vs today’s current models. Looks like I’ll be waiting for QD-OLED to become more reasonable before making a move
@@mack4477 Indeed i agree, i need a TV and will be considering it providing the pricing isn't stupid, but i really want this tblv tho, only problem is the whole fact it's new tech 😒
Thanks for all the great information looking forward to getting my new television at the end of this year probably around Black Friday so thank you again for all the great information looking forward to seeing many more reviews on the new TVs that are coming out from you guys you guys are all awesome thank you for all the great information.
I have two C9's (best buy deal I couldn't pass up in 2020). I dont see a significant reason to upgrade at this point. I think I'm good until there is a large enough difference in PQ. I still love following TV tech and seeing the new tvs and technologies. QD OLED interests me the most. MicroLED looks to be an OLED successor but too out of reach for at least 5 years or more for the average consumer.
The C9 is legendary are recieved great support well after release in firmware updates....I have the CX and A90J from Sony and you are right up there in terms of PQ and performance 👏
@@micker9830 Have both and A90J is only an incremental improvement and really not worth the upgrade especially at its price point...QD-Oled is a definite upgrade though worth the wait
LG C2 42" ... unfortunately no C1 comparison because of the size. Now I am just curious about the prices. C1 48" is going for R19 000 to R20 000 (South African Rand), $1200 to $1300, at the moment.
This is a great video right here. Now I don’t feel the need to upgrade my tv plus whole signal path chain because I was finally able to procure an x box series x. 4K 60 is fine , which is good because I like my avr, which is hdmi 2.0, and I don’t need a new tv just for 4K 120, when it isn’t able to be consistently put out by the new consoles anyway. VRR is a patch fix for lack of hardware power to put out 4K 120 hz consistently. Thank you so much for this video.
If you have a PS5 and want to play Ratchet & Clank at the full 4k40 mode, you need a 4k120 display. I think more game developers also for the Series X will look at offering a full 4k40 mode in the future. It's the sweet spot between 30 and 60fps for fidelity modes at full 4k resolution compared to 60fps modes at lower res.
You are wrong when it comes to Samsung Flagship TV from last year. There are Sound and Pictures laggings with QN90A or QN95A. Also I would purchase the new QN95B which comes this year out because you will get Dolby Atmos instead of Q-Symphony and you get 144HZ instead only 120 HZ on 4K and 14bits is a Big Win!
Thanks for that on point review FOMO! Question 1: how much more improvement will 85" x95k be over 85" x95j and is it worth waiting for another few months until the newer model hits the market? Question 2: what you said about the a80k vs a80j, is that case with 77" as well? If you cross compare 75" x95k vs 77" a80j, what would be the better one?
I’d definitely wait. It has backlight master drive again so there will effectively be no blooming at all and X95J didn’t even have wide color gamut technically.
Thank you for this video! Just received my 65” QN90A (well, QN90DA - Sams club for $1700) and will be setting it up tonight. Was definitely having some FOMO with the 2022 models about to roll out. I have a very bright room, and we do watch some during the day (although most is at night). I’m ok with the one HDMI 2.1, as I only have a PS5 and have no plans of getting another console or gaming computer. Does your recommendation still stand for the QN90A, or has any new info changed your opinion? Thank you for the awesome channel and videos!
You should do it based on Price Point. Basically Sony A80J 65" can be bought for under $2,000 Don't expect the new Sony or LG OLED to be anywhere close to that price.. That would be the Fair Comparison.
Love love your channel! I had a question…looking to buy a 75inch or bigger tv mainly for sports and movies. I watch tv mainly in the evening but not in a pitch black room. Weekends is where I do a lot of day watching in a very well lit room filled with natural light. Looking for a recommendation for a 3k budget out the door. Also, can you recommend a 5.1 sound system that would pair nicely along with a mount? There are so many options and would love some help. Thank you!!
A95K ... Eucker said it best: just a bit outside ... my budget. Like my OLED but X95K is interesting if the BMD is legit. FOMO, any guesses on the timing of X95K release?
By the way, I tested the QN90A Freesync Premium Pro against the Q900R Freesync Pro. The difference is pretty much the ease of mind using Premium Pro if there is a crash or something requiring a reboot. On the other hand, when it comes to motion quality, both features provide pretty much the same experience. However, Freesync is a feature I will not be able to live without anymore.
I think I am waiting to see the x95k, but I will probably wait until 2023, to get a second generation Sony Mini led, especially when considering how bad things went for the lg qned 90, this past year especially when it comes to gaming on an Xbox… I already have a full home theater speaker set up, of Klipsch rf-7 iii, with the rc-64 iii, and then I think Klipsch rp-600m bookshelf’s, and rp-502S, for the surround speakers… but I still have to buy a receiver which I hope I can find this year support hdmi 2.1 full bandwidth, so I can plug an Xbox into it, and get vrr, 4K 120hz, and allm, all to a tv…
I am really not sure though if Sony properly developed the x95k (I’m talking with 100’s of zones, not just basically taking a regular lcd tv zone count, and pasting that with mini leds, as the light source… if they do that, I will 100% skip the tv, this year, regardless of them releasing their k type tv, which I find kinda funny since I own the Samsung Ks8500 at the moment, I will probably buy one of those depending on its cost, which will figure out the size, I will buy, if Sony actually gets VRR and it properly works with an Xbox… For I only want to spend about 4k-8k, for a new tv, this year…
Great channel and information provided. I am looking to purchase a 40/42/43 inch TV to be located above the refrigerator in our kitchen. The TV will be used for watching TV shows/TV movies/sports during the day (moderately sunny room) and at night (usually with lower lighting on). It will not have a DVD or computer attached. The TV will and have 25 degree vertical and up to 35 degree horizontal viewing angles. I believe an IPS or OLED panel would work best here, but am open to a VA panel. It would be appreciated if you could suggest a TV that would best fit our application. Thank you.
The 42" LG C2 will give you the best viewing angles from all points in the kitchen but the Samsung 43" QN90B will be brighter and have better anti-glare. I'd go with the QN90B due to the anti-glare and brightness
As more details trickle out about QD Oled I am becoming less enthusiastic about it. I have the a90J and if the final result about QD Oled not being a quantum lead forward in performance there will not be a logical reason to upgrade.
About time they are starting to get features together and working on these TV's. I hope they will be able to cut down on firmware updates for some of these TV's.
I literally recieved a new firmware update yesterday for my LG CX...its good LG continues to support older models unlike Sony's...my C9 was well supported right into the 2nd year too

I'm just waiting for last year's Panasonic JX940 LCD prices to go down more. I'm willing to spend a bit, but not OLED budget, plus I can't control my room lighting very well so the lower end OLED is not for me. No matter about the sound quality either. Some lower end hi-fi powered bookshelf speakers and a sub will do the trick. The TV already has virtual surround sound. Why pay for it again getting a soundbar with their lesser proficiency drivers for the same price?
I just wanted to ask about lg’s led (QNED90) TV’s, will they have some good improvements, like more/better dimming zones/is the processor a good upgrade, and stuff like that? Lg’s Oleds still have too much of a risk of burn in, so I will not be buying an Oled for gaming, and I prefer the bright colors possible with led’s..

I keep on watching TV videos but I don't even watch much of TV shows or Movies. I rarely even access Netflix, and when when I do access it, I jusy browse for a few mins and end up not watching anything. 😅😅😅 I mostly use my tablet or phone to watch youtube.
Can you recommend a 4K 120HZ tv that's between 42"-50" with VRR, ALLM, DOLBY VISION and any other specs that are needed for the Series X? I don't want to spend more than $500-$600
Fomo one thing that wasn't covered with Hisense was whether or not they're 7-Series model the 75 inch whether or not it's going to have that nasty IPS panel that they didn't let consumers know about last year.
Stop the fomo great review on this subject. I'm in the market for a tv upgrading my Samsung pnf8500 plasma. I want a 75-77 any suggestions it will be going in a control lighting room.
The X95J has a lot of improvements but unfortunately will still only provide only Two hdmi 2.1 ports on Three and Four, but are expected to be operating at 48gbps instead of 40. Sony should have included all four ports with hdmi 2.1 with what is touted as a premium TV model offering.
Well one is a playstation, other is a soundbar for 80% of people. If using a sony sound system a5000/a7000/a9 you get another 1-2 ports, problem solved for 95% of people that have two consoles. The amount of people that have a pc, a playstation and xbox on regularly is very very small. If you don’t want a soundbar, then you’d probably be buying an a80k or a95k or a90j, then you have two ports available.
@J Y Having Four 2.1 Hdmi allows for enjoying a PS 5 and say a Xbox Series X while at the same time being able to hook up a sound bar. I think the percentage of folks wanting these options in a expensive Premium TV is much higher than 20 percent. CES suggested that some top tier Samsung 4k and 8k will have many great improvements, including all hdmi ports with 2.1 function 2 at 48gbps 2 at 40gbps
lol great video however I just talked to a TV repair guy he has 30+ years and said that today's TV's are all made to only last 4 years and are not worth it sad but true, he had a lot of Samsung and was pissed because their screens crack to easily, but said they had the best programing and said that if you could Combine LG with Samsung you would have the perfect tv that would actually be worth what they are charging ;-)

Could X95K be so close to the Sony OLED that it would make more sense, especially since you wouldn't have to worry about burn-in or image retention?
Please don't listen to this guy and for the love of god or anything do NOT make a decision based on his speculations. He hasn't even seen most of the TVs and even if he did, he cannot make a distinction if it's brighter or better etc since it's not tested and not side by side with last years models..
Yet here he is "confident" in saying QN90A is just as good as QN90B.. He has no clue..
Man, the X95K is gonna be SICK!
As for LED TVs, I think my Q90r can still hold its own vs today’s current models. Looks like I’ll be waiting for QD-OLED to become more reasonable before making a move
A95K no? Or do you mean the price of it dropping?
@@tez_4116 I meant the price of QD OLED dropping. They’re expected to be pretty ridiculous for these initial models
@@mack4477 Indeed i agree, i need a TV and will be considering it providing the pricing isn't stupid, but i really want this tblv tho, only problem is the whole fact it's new tech 😒
I also have Q90R and it still looks amazing just wish it had Earc and that that hdmi port was 2.q for my AVR receiver
I love my A80J. no fomo here. I do plan to buy a 42" oled for a 2nd monitor
It’s crazy how Dell beat everyone with the first QD OLED monitor.
We need that U9H and U8H. Will help make the decision easier.
Question is when 77 inch TVs will finally be closer to linearly more expansive than the 55 and 65 inch models
Just picked up a 75” LG qned. Absolutely love it. Nothing in 22 makes me feel like I’m going to need to upgrade this year
Why tf would you upgrade when you just bought your TV??? 🤡🤡🤡
@@alllivesmatter3561 obviously you missed the point of the comment 🤡
Thanks for all the great information looking forward to getting my new television at the end of this year probably around Black Friday so thank you again for all the great information looking forward to seeing many more reviews on the new TVs that are coming out from you guys you guys are all awesome thank you for all the great information.
I have two C9's (best buy deal I couldn't pass up in 2020). I dont see a significant reason to upgrade at this point. I think I'm good until there is a large enough difference in PQ. I still love following TV tech and seeing the new tvs and technologies. QD OLED interests me the most. MicroLED looks to be an OLED successor but too out of reach for at least 5 years or more for the average consumer.
The C9 is legendary are recieved great support well after release in firmware updates....I have the CX and A90J from Sony and you are right up there in terms of PQ and performance 👏
@@micker9830 Have both and A90J is only an incremental improvement and really not worth the upgrade especially at its price point...QD-Oled is a definite upgrade though worth the wait
Thank you! I’m getting ready to buy the 77A80J
Fomo looking like he's trying to start a new career as a mime. 😆
Im loving qd oled...but are they that much brighter? And will that extra brightness shorten the lifespan of the set?
LG C2 42" ... unfortunately no C1 comparison because of the size. Now I am just curious about the prices. C1 48" is going for R19 000 to R20 000 (South African Rand), $1200 to $1300, at the moment.
This is a great video right here. Now I don’t feel the need to upgrade my tv plus whole signal path chain because I was finally able to procure an x box series x. 4K 60 is fine , which is good because I like my avr, which is hdmi 2.0, and I don’t need a new tv just for 4K 120, when it isn’t able to be consistently put out by the new consoles anyway. VRR is a patch fix for lack of hardware power to put out 4K 120 hz consistently. Thank you so much for this video.
If you have a PS5 and want to play Ratchet & Clank at the full 4k40 mode, you need a 4k120 display. I think more game developers also for the Series X will look at offering a full 4k40 mode in the future. It's the sweet spot between 30 and 60fps for fidelity modes at full 4k resolution compared to 60fps modes at lower res.
You are wrong when it comes to Samsung Flagship TV from last year. There are Sound and Pictures laggings with QN90A or QN95A. Also I would purchase the new QN95B which comes this year out because you will get Dolby Atmos instead of Q-Symphony and you get 144HZ instead only 120 HZ on 4K and 14bits is a Big Win!
Will the Sony x90k be better than the Sony x90j
C1 C2 and G1 I think is the same tv , G2 is what really improve vs last year
You've helped me out a hell of alot ur my guide
It's weird that Sony isn't selling the X95K here in Japan yet...even though LG and Sharp have their MiniLED TVs out already.
Always love watching your vids, I think I need to buy you a left hand glove that fits though lol. Thanks for the vid 😃
I’ve picked up a Samsung AU9070 55 inch for a pretty good price as an upgrade from my 10 yr old Samsung LCD!
Thanks for that on point review FOMO!
Question 1: how much more improvement will 85" x95k be over 85" x95j and is it worth waiting for another few months until the newer model hits the market?
Question 2: what you said about the a80k vs a80j, is that case with 77" as well?
If you cross compare 75" x95k vs 77" a80j, what would be the better one?
I’d definitely wait. It has backlight master drive again so there will effectively be no blooming at all and X95J didn’t even have wide color gamut technically.
I'll be posting this very comparison later in the week, watch for it!
Thank you for this video! Just received my 65” QN90A (well, QN90DA - Sams club for $1700) and will be setting it up tonight. Was definitely having some FOMO with the 2022 models about to roll out. I have a very bright room, and we do watch some during the day (although most is at night). I’m ok with the one HDMI 2.1, as I only have a PS5 and have no plans of getting another console or gaming computer.
Does your recommendation still stand for the QN90A, or has any new info changed your opinion?
Thank you for the awesome channel and videos!
You should do it based on Price Point. Basically Sony A80J 65" can be bought for under $2,000 Don't expect the new Sony or LG OLED to be anywhere close to that price.. That would be the Fair Comparison.
Great video! Just curious, why the white gloves?
Great channel! Any idea when the Samsung QN90B will go on sale?
Is the worth buying the 75x95K compared to the 75x95J ?
The G2 is definitely an upgrade over the G1. Picking that bad boy up at 83 Inches
Is there a video explaining the gloves, and are 2022 gloves worth the cost over 2021?
Love love your channel! I had a question…looking to buy a 75inch or bigger tv mainly for sports and movies. I watch tv mainly in the evening but not in a pitch black room. Weekends is where I do a lot of day watching in a very well lit room filled with natural light. Looking for a recommendation for a 3k budget out the door. Also, can you recommend a 5.1 sound system that would pair nicely along with a mount? There are so many options and would love some help. Thank you!!
im looking forward to the reviews.
A95K ... Eucker said it best: just a bit outside ... my budget. Like my OLED but X95K is interesting if the BMD is legit. FOMO, any guesses on the timing of X95K release?
I’m waiting for the LG C2
Which 2022 TV review are you most anxious to see? I can't wait for G2 vs A90J!
By the way, I tested the QN90A Freesync Premium Pro against the Q900R Freesync Pro. The difference is pretty much the ease of mind using Premium Pro if there is a crash or something requiring a reboot. On the other hand, when it comes to motion quality, both features provide pretty much the same experience. However, Freesync is a feature I will not be able to live without anymore.
I purchased X95J 6 weeks ago and then X95K comes out :(
I think I am waiting to see the x95k, but I will probably wait until 2023, to get a second generation Sony Mini led, especially when considering how bad things went for the lg qned 90, this past year especially when it comes to gaming on an Xbox… I already have a full home theater speaker set up, of Klipsch rf-7 iii, with the rc-64 iii, and then I think Klipsch rp-600m bookshelf’s, and rp-502S, for the surround speakers… but I still have to buy a receiver which I hope I can find this year support hdmi 2.1 full bandwidth, so I can plug an Xbox into it, and get vrr, 4K 120hz, and allm, all to a tv…
Can't wait for the G2 vs A90J vs the X95K. I held off last year but this year I'm definitely buy a new TV.
Should I return X95J and wait for the X95K? Still in return window?
What is the deal with gloves and glasses without glasses ? 🤔
What about Samsung tvs? Is it worth upgrading over 2021 models?
I am really not sure though if Sony properly developed the x95k (I’m talking with 100’s of zones, not just basically taking a regular lcd tv zone count, and pasting that with mini leds, as the light source… if they do that, I will 100% skip the tv, this year, regardless of them releasing their k type tv, which I find kinda funny since I own the Samsung Ks8500 at the moment, I will probably buy one of those depending on its cost, which will figure out the size, I will buy, if Sony actually gets VRR and it properly works with an Xbox… For I only want to spend about 4k-8k, for a new tv, this year…
The new Sony mini led tv will this tv give the Samsung a run for its money will the LG G2 actually be noticeable be brighter
The new Sony mini led tv will give the Samsung a run for its money. Will the LG G2 actually be noticeably brighter?

@@SomeUserNameBlahBlah can’t bloom spell ether 🙈
Looking forward to the X95K planning to get a 75"
I noticed your frame doesn’t have lenses on my super clear oled tv 😅
Great channel and information provided. I am looking to purchase a 40/42/43 inch TV to be located above the refrigerator in our kitchen. The TV will be used for watching TV shows/TV movies/sports during the day (moderately sunny room) and at night (usually with lower lighting on). It will not have a DVD or computer attached. The TV will and have 25 degree vertical and up to 35 degree horizontal viewing angles. I believe an IPS or OLED panel would work best here, but am open to a VA panel. It would be appreciated if you could suggest a TV that would best fit our application. Thank you.
The 42" LG C2 will give you the best viewing angles from all points in the kitchen but the Samsung 43" QN90B will be brighter and have better anti-glare. I'd go with the QN90B due to the anti-glare and brightness
Hi which one is better QN90A vs QN800A? Tnx
Out of topic question. Do you think CRTs will ever make a comeback production wise? Even for a small market? Tnx.
I bought a 55 inch Sony X85J last year, I am thinking of selling it to buy LG C2 Oled. Should I wait for C3?
As more details trickle out about QD Oled I am becoming less enthusiastic about it. I have the a90J and if the final result about QD Oled not being a quantum lead forward in performance there will not be a logical reason to upgrade.
About time they are starting to get features together and working on these TV's. I hope they will be able to cut down on firmware updates for some of these TV's.
I literally recieved a new firmware update yesterday for my LG CX...its good LG continues to support older models unlike Sony's...my C9 was well supported right into the 2nd year too
@@mrwalker6026 yeah that's a good thing buddy. Ha ha TCL does the same thing but sometimes the new updates aren't that big of a deal.

@@mrwalker6026 hello Mr Walker it's always a pleasure chatting with you about this TV technology stuff lol. Funny thing none of my friends hardly know anything about TV's except turning them on and off ha ha ha ha ha lol.
Quick question 60hz or 120hz for watching movies not gaming.
another great video can't wait for your new PS5 and XBOX X Tv for 2022
X95K is by far in my opinion looking like the best overall of 2022
If it has wide color gamut less blooming and completely DSE free it’s gonna be best if the decade😂
@@TechCody113 lol I meant in terms of most popular buy. No one that’s a regular consumer is going to buy QD OLED. It’s has backlight master drive so basically will have no blooming at all. And to your point about wide color gamut for some reason X95J didn’t have it but all other Sony models did, even X950H which had a lot more color.
@@jibrilbarayseh ya x95j was just a pop for Sony to throw out and make money LOL flagship model yet left most flagship futures out, I’m gonna try the Z9J see if I like it
@@TechCody113 I have the. X950H and blooming is bad in dark HDR scenes. If local dimming is at high it goes away but then the bright area get crushed and image looks worse. Bias light helps a lot though and it’s hardly noticeable now. I would just go for the X95K tbh, 8K is definitely a few thousand more😬
@@jibrilbarayseh It makes no sense there Z9J 8K model has 400 dimming zones but there 4Ks have 60 ? LOL and I seen few videos on here and people said there 8K had no banding or DSE at all, yet 4K models do? Ahhh Sony🤣🤣, I would like the X95K but probably won’t be out till summer AND who’s to say DSE won’t be there? Think I’ll get 75inch Z9J and call it quits for 10 years🤣🤣
Dat Moiré pattern on your shirt!
The C1 is still a stellar gaming screen
Thanks for continuous great videos, I feel those who would allow the Market dynamics to determine when to trade or not are either new in space in general or probably just naïve, the sphere have seen far worse times than this, enlightened traders continue to make good use of the dip and pump even acquiring more equities towards trading sessions, I'd say that more emphasis should be put into trading,since it is way profitable than hodling. Tradlng went smooth for me as I was able to raise over 6.2 BTC when I started at 1.5 BTC in December from implementing trades with signals and insights from Daniel Peter Jeffery.

I'm just waiting for last year's Panasonic JX940 LCD prices to go down more. I'm willing to spend a bit, but not OLED budget, plus I can't control my room lighting very well so the lower end OLED is not for me. No matter about the sound quality either. Some lower end hi-fi powered bookshelf speakers and a sub will do the trick. The TV already has virtual surround sound. Why pay for it again getting a soundbar with their lesser proficiency drivers for the same price?
I just wanted to ask about lg’s led (QNED90) TV’s, will they have some good improvements, like more/better dimming zones/is the processor a good upgrade, and stuff like that? Lg’s Oleds still have too much of a risk of burn in, so I will not be buying an Oled for gaming, and I prefer the bright colors possible with led’s..
you look like super mario today
I think when the a80k is released, the a80j will become an incredible value buy
If I want to get an OLED from last year, is C1 a better buy or the A80J? or is there any other recommendation for an OLED?
This is the video I was waiting for
Hello and thank you for your detailed information. I am losing my mind on a decision off of your links and I'm on a budget under 1k. Both off of your links a Tcl 6 for 999 or hg9 for 699. Both 65" Thank you
Quick question: Sony A80J vs a CHEAPER LG G1 (same size) or wait for the A80k with new panel?
I keep on watching TV videos but I don't even watch much of TV shows or Movies. I rarely even access Netflix, and when when I do access it, I jusy browse for a few mins and end up not watching anything. 😅😅😅
I mostly use my tablet or phone to watch youtube.
🤣🤣🤣🤣
Can you recommend a 4K 120HZ tv that's between 42"-50" with VRR, ALLM, DOLBY VISION and any other specs that are needed for the Series X? I don't want to spend more than $500-$600
Fomo one thing that wasn't covered with Hisense was whether or not they're 7-Series model the 75 inch whether or not it's going to have that nasty IPS panel that they didn't let consumers know about last year.
If I purchased a SONY LCD last year like the 8k Z9J or X95J I'd be reeling...buyer's remorse right there
Yeah, I'd be in pain no doubt
Stop the fomo great review on this subject. I'm in the market for a tv upgrading my Samsung pnf8500 plasma. I want a 75-77 any suggestions it will be going in a control lighting room.
The X95J has a lot of improvements but unfortunately will still only provide only Two hdmi 2.1 ports on Three and Four, but are expected to be operating at 48gbps instead of 40.
Sony should have included all four ports with hdmi 2.1 with what is touted as a premium TV model offering.
Well one is a playstation, other is a soundbar for 80% of people. If using a sony sound system a5000/a7000/a9 you get another 1-2 ports, problem solved for 95% of people that have two consoles. The amount of people that have a pc, a playstation and xbox on regularly is very very small.
If you don’t want a soundbar, then you’d probably be buying an a80k or a95k or a90j, then you have two ports available.
@J Y Having Four 2.1 Hdmi allows for enjoying a PS 5 and say a Xbox Series X while at the same time being able to hook up a sound bar. I think the percentage of folks wanting these options in a expensive Premium TV is much higher than 20 percent.
CES suggested that some top tier Samsung 4k and 8k will have many great improvements, including all hdmi ports with 2.1 function
2 at 48gbps
2 at 40gbps
@@majorkursk780 like i said, if you buy one of the new sony soundbars you get hdmi 2.1 passthrough. Problem solved
But what about HDR10+ gaming for new model on Samsung ? Is that going to go on last year's model? Serious question
Now what do do? Supposed to have a 85" X95J installed end of month. Do I cancel and wait for the 85" X95K? HELP. What will the MSRP be of the K?
lol great video however I just talked to a TV repair guy he has 30+ years and said that today's TV's are all made to only last 4 years and are not worth it sad but true, he had a lot of Samsung and was pissed because their screens crack to easily, but said they had the best programing and said that if you could Combine LG with Samsung you would have the perfect tv that would actually be worth what they are charging ;-)
Hi! I noticed best buy and costco samsung 75" smart tv models differences. Are QN90B and QN90BD the same? Is there any differences?
I just purchased a 83 inch LG C1, should I return and get the 83 inch LG C2? Is it worth it? Would I see a big difference? I mainly use for gaming and movies.Thanks.
Shut up and just enjoy your C1. 🤡
Sony and the Mediatek chipset is the reason not yet on the oled bandwagon.
I don't think there has been a single year where a tcl flagship product turned out to be worth waiting for. Every time it's something major wrong with those sets

Which is better?
