  • The Sony BRAVIA XR A90J 4K HDR OLED with Smart Google TV is one of the best TVs ever made. The 83" XR83A90J is the first OLED in the USA to have a heatsink, HDMI 2.1 gaming, and pushes over 1000 nits. But do these upgrades justify the cost for this Master Series OLED? I'll offer the top 4 features as well as differences from the smaller sizes and then I'll show SDR, HDR and gaming content before making buying recommendations that include the LG C1, LG C1, Samsung QN90a, and the Sony A80J. #XR83A90J #A90J

    Finally got delivery of my 85” QN90A last week, and I am completely happy with my choice. Yes, I know the OLEDs would have had a marginally better picture, but for $3599 vs $6k or $8k, I couldn’t make it make sense. Something I haven’t seen anyone talk about yet: if you pair the QN90A with a Qn950a soundbar, the tv just recognizes the inputs and treats them as native, using the same remote and UI as the TV. Pretty neat. Keep up the great work, Brandon. 👍🏼

      I can afford the a90j but prefer the picture of a80j... why?.. the a80j just seems to have more depth which makes it pop more overall. I first noticed this on ''Sony A90J vs A80J - 2021 XR Bravia OLED Comparison'' by 'Tech with KG' But also noticed on other videos.
      I think the a90js extra brightness is sacrificing overall detail at times for specular HDR highlights, which can be noticeably better than a80j..but overall the a80js picture just has more depth and it bothers me that the a90j doesn't have both for the price they are asking. I would rather buy the a80j based off what ive seen so far.. maybe im crazy and its all in my head LOL.. idk...

    It's interesting to me how so many people do an "aside" comment about issues with this TVs motion handling, but still rate it so high. I'm guessing when the fix comes out in the next generation that'll be the reason to upgrade?

    I know most people review smaller sizes, but since your doing 83 inch OLEDS 😆 I figured alot of people might be interested in a review of the 85 inch QN85A which comes with the VA panel instead of the IDS Panel. Just saying I think it would get a lot of views and people can know more options at that size.

    Brandon, I think the A90J is both: something that I am considering buying, and it's a ridiculous price. However, on the latter, I am prepared to wait until it comes down a bit; especially as the LG 83" C1 is likely to create good competition to hopefully cause Sony to lower the price of the A90J much further 🤪

A couple days later, he offered to sell it to me for $800. Couldn't pass that up. So now I have a way better TV than I would have ever bought... Haha

    Good review. I wanted the best I could get. All good points comparing to the LG 83". The final straw was no HBOmax on LG. Petty maybe, but I didn't want to have to launch another device (that would also need firmware updates) just to watch shows on HBOmax.

    Great video - can I ask you this question, Here in March 2023, this 83 inch Sony A90J is only $4,499. We purchased a 77 inch LG G2 from Best Buy 6 weeks ago for $3,399 and it comes with a 5 year warranty (but not for burn in) but I could enjoy the 83 inch in our space on the wall. My wife doesn't like the Magic remote (no backlight and the arrow cursor annoys her) So our choice is to stick with this TV (and I do love the brightness) and maybe get an upgraded remote in the future or buy this Sony A90J - Also keep in mind we do not play any games on the tv. We mainly watch sports, news, cable tv shows, HBO movies, and will start streaming Netflix soon. It's just the two of us at almost 60 years old. We know we want an OLED panel - but it feels weird to buy this Sony with 2 year old technology. Also, we have a new wonderful Sonos Arc, subwoofer, & a pair on One SL's for fantastic surround sound, so the TV speakers will be turned off. So what do you think is the right choice ??? I would really value your opinion. Thank you in advance !

    • @BTheInstaller
      @BTheInstaller  2 роки тому +3

      Yeah, I think people complain about full screen brightness for sports. I "love" my oleds for sports, hockey, soccer... NFL is mainly my sport... all look amazing. Your source is the problem with them but if you can keep direct window reflection off the tv, you'd be fine. But some like the blinding brightness of LED, I just prefer the true black ⚫ of oled so it's like 50/50 for sports but movies and gaming OLED look way better.

Just waiting till my tile floors are done then I'm making the purchase. Still contemplating on the 5 year geek squad warranty from best buy.

    I am hearing impaired and to avoid arguments with my wife, she listens through the tv speakers (Panasonic Plasma) and I route TV RCA audio output to a Sony receiver and hook up wired earphones. I now can independently control volume. As far as I can tell the LG C1 has settings to allow TV to output speaker sound and audio out at same time. But I don't think the Sony A80J allows this. I am leaning to the Sony but this one feature is critical. Can you confirm one way or another? thx much

I have read several reviews on the A90J that say it is very good for gaming now the VRR has dropped. It also pairs very well with the PS5 which is no surprise and I'm hoping to find a TVthat does both video content and gaming equally well.
