Based on re-watching and close analysis of your other videos, I have decided to forgo the A90J - 65 inch and go for A80J 77 inch. I'm very happy with the purchase and I greatly appreciate your wealth of information. Thank you
I wish I could've fit the 77" A80J in my entertainment center but I had to go with the 65" A90J because of its height of 32-7/8". The A90J is an awesome TV and I have no regrets. However, I saw the 77" A80J next to the 65" A90J at Best Buy and I could not see any difference in brightness and picture quality. So I was bummed that I couldn't fit the 77" in my set up.
Good luck with image retention and burn in artifacts. Can't believe people spend 4000$ on a TV that will begin degrading after 5000 hours usage. I guess if your rich enough to spend 4000$ on TV's every second year, it's no problem.
Very helpful video, this would be fantastic as a yearly update for obvious reasons. You are the only guy i have seen to compare what everyone wants to know.
After spending days watching yours and your buddies informative comparison videos I decided to go with the Sony XR77A80J + Costco extended warranty ($5000 Canadian after taxes). Bigger and more expensive than I orginally intended to spend but with the money I've saved due to the covid lockdown (working from home, not traveling, etc) it was doable. Thanks for this video which validated my decision to go bigger.
My next buy will definitely be an 85”. Size really matters most. It’s a pity though that higher diagonals are not available for a reasonable price: 15 000 is definitely crazy, in 5 or 10 years maybe.
Yes this is exactly what I am considering this week!!! I have been torn and now after this videos I think the 85” Sony LCD is the go for the extra 8” and in Australia it’s $500 au cheaper!
I'll take a ~100" 4K TV for ~USD 3000 over any other smaller TV. The picture quality of any average TV is good enough for me. On the other hand, the screen size is way more critical for the overall sensation.
@H B Same here we turned a den/extra bedroom into our theater room. We have a new 65inch Vizio OLED and I think anything bigger or smaller wouldn't work. We have a 2019 LG 55INCH OLED in the bedroom.
Was going to get a 55 A90J until I noticed the price and reviews on the A80J at 65 inches. Got it for my gaming room and now can't get my wife to stop playing PS5 on it. To think she complained when I first took the PS5 from my TCL 6 series in the family room and now she can't go back to playing on the other TV😄
This video is great! I actually went through that first example this weekend! Lol I was contemplating getting the 55 inch A90j but I saw that 77 inch A80j and it was a no brainer lol
Excellent video. Very helpful. One video I think that would be very helpful is showing the Sony upsampling vs others. This seems like it would be a potentially killer feature but hard to know the real impact. I find it difficult to trade it for gaming ability.
75" U7G is an IPS panel... Seen it in store next to 75 U6G VA panel and was puzzled. IMO u6g looked better in that size, a least in demo content playing.
So close to 100k subs! Your music always chills me out :-) Happily for my wallet my living room won't fit more than a 55" so my next upgrade will have to be my house :-D
@@VeeeeryyyFaaaastSlooooth I agree, but certain people are anal about contrast and blooming from IPS panels nor do they like the idea of ambient light. Me personally, if the IPS panel has plenty dimming zones with a good algorithm + have a good amount of peak brightness, the contrast and blooming won't be an issue from a normal viewing distance. The Samsung QN85a is an example of this.
I recently got the tcl r646 and after about ten days it just straight up died unfortunately. I liked the tv pq was really nice but Google tv was a little buggy so when I returned it I had to either pick something else or wait up to three weeks on the tcl. So I went with the Vizio p65q9-j1 because I needed a tv and I could afford to take a chance because it was on sale and I had an extended warranty. Almost two weeks later and I honestly prefer the p series. Blacks are nice and inky hdr has plenty of pop and all the hdmi 2.1 features have worked flawlessly. I feel people are really sleeping on this tv it honestly offers a really nice home cinema experience. This year all I heard about Vizio was they cut back the specs on their TVs what were they thinking. Even with less dimming zones the tv had very little blooming and does a great job increasing the contrast. Maybe Vizio wanted to simplify things a bit and make sure they produced more consistent TVs than last year. If you catch the new p series on sale especially Black Friday if it’s under a grand give it a go. I’m very pleasantly surprised with mine
Maybe I missed it somehow, but I think you skipped over the 75"/85" categories. If someone was considering the 77" A80J, is there a better choice in the 85" category? X95J or X91J in 85" ?
I typically prioritize PQ first with size being the secondary factor. I appreciate how the a90j just hits different. All OLEDs have typically underwhelmed when it comes to high APL (maxFALL) scenes but the A90J is actually able to do them justice now.
Using a small guest room for a man cave, I watch mostly older content and some dolby vision with dolby atmos content from my ultra 4k blueray player, Disney+ and Netflix. Got a 55 inch sony x90j for the good upscaling, it's big enough since I seat pretty close to the tv. Got a flat ceiling and use a vizio dolby atmos soundbar, which works great in a small room. I get a pretty immersive experience with this setup.
I watch a lot of older content myself. I'm a big western t.v. shows man. The sad part is most of them are in lower resolutions. So I depend on good upscaling to watch my favorites.
I went 65" A80J and could not be happier. The picture, after calibration, is insanely good. I love it more each day I get to look at it. To me, OLED is best. Plus the upscaling and skin tones are better on Sony than LG C1.
An OLED fan will advice you to get a 42" oled sitting 20 feet away in a bright livingroom over a 100" miniled. Because, you know, blooming is such a huge problem on 2021 miniled's.
I personally bought the 75 inch u7g thinking it wouldn’t be a big deal. It is a HUGE deal. The blooming and black levels are atrocious. It makes dark room viewing a very unpleasant experience. I therefore exchanged it for a 75 inch x90j (only a $300 CAD difference at the moment). Best decision I ever made.
Great video ! I am debating between a 85" TCL Q6 or a 75" Q7 for about the same price both . I sit around 8-9 ft from viewing distance and use the tv for movies sports and gaming . Which would you recommend?
In my current setup I'd go for the higher quality 55 inch TVs, such as the Sony X90J, since I still have a massive library of DVD quality content and I'm a gamer as well. I'll wait a little while longer before buying a TV.
Also I have tested VRR on X900H and yes it has some issues like weird image flashing, local dimming being off, and weird screen tearing sometimes. But overall it's very good. I have made a video about it you can check it out.
Picked quality over size and I seriously couldn't be more happy. I learned my lesson trying to save money and getting a lg CX last year. With the a90j I love what I see every time I see the TV and if I'm ever having that , this is too dim feeling all us OLED owners secretly get, I just put on vivid and problem solved.
@stop the FOMO what about room size vs tv size? my room size is ~3.75 meter side so side (wall to wall) what is the best size for that distance? 77" will fit?
Great content! Q: I’m sitting 10 ft away and have about 1200 to spend. Mostly streaming content in a non bright room. Space for a 65”. What do you recommend?
I'm going with the 85" X95J. I would love to get a A90J but can't handle that huge price tag. I'm sure the extra brightness will make up for it. Thanks for all of the great content!
I went with a Samsung 85 inch I did had to increase my budget to $3400 to not lose some quality It’s been a year and a half now and I’m still very happy with it
Qn90a is the best tv to buy at the 80 inch mark oled is way to pricey at that size and way to hype Qn90a pq is superb and so is the tv overall Yes the oled has a better pq but by a little bit not as huge as people make it out to be same wit the black levels Thats the same reason y i returned the 83 c1 for a 85 qn90a saved way more money and the brightess is a plus also especially in hdr when its bright scenes the oled is not as dull as people make it out to be but it does lack that brightness punch
Last week i compared the 85" QN90A and 77" C1. The QN90A has slow local dimming and it ruins moving images when brightness and colors change. I have a video on my channel showing it. With LD on Standard or in Game Mode it's not as bad but still noticeable. I thought I'd be keeping it but after seeing that and the color difference compared to C1, I had to return it.
Hi firstly I would like to say keep up the amazing videos. I find them very informative. I have a question, maybe one that is not appropriate for this video but excuse me. I live in Germany. We don't have exactly the same models here like in the USA. But I am eyeing the TCL 55c825x1 the one with mini LED and Onkyo sound system. It is around the 1000 euro price point. My needs are movies and next gen gaming. Is that a tv that will do the trick? Thanks for your time and sorry the essay-like post🙏😅.
Hey FOMO, first of all, your channel is great! Keep it up! I'm between C1 77" and the QN90A 85"... What would you recommend for a large and bright living room, and considering that the TV is used for gaming/sports/movies (33% of the time each)?
QN90A ISSUES!!!!! Something I guess you didn't notice in your review of the QN90A is the SLOW Local Dimming. It's pretty bad. I bought the 85" and have video of it the LD Lag on my channel. MAJOR ISSUE!! I compared it to (and kept) the 77" C1 instead.
Excellent video. Thanks. What is the best 75 inches TV in your opinion for watching 80% low quality content with a budget USD 2000 max ? Mostly looking for a better picture quality with low quality content. Audio quality is not important.
Had to subscribe , good no great information I’m in the process of wanting a bigger screen but have a lg Cx oled this video made me think about on what I could get now cheers heaps
Just talked to someone that cane from an old 1080p 52 samsung he went to a 77 inch oled and didn't like the image quality. He went to a smaller tv a 55 ans he loves it. Pixel density does come into play and it's all about preference. Get what yoy guys like if you want bigger go for it if yoy want smaller go for it. I've always been one to go towards smaller as the inage is a bit tighter I mean same amount of pixels on a 55 that is on an 83 inch so yeah pixel density. I've also noticed you don't notice flaws as easily on smaller tvs. I also don't notice noise in the image as much. But see we all have eyes and notice different things and it's all preference. I will always choose qauliyy over size some people are so used to big tvs for them they love the image and hey that's awesome I'm happy for whoever gets what they like.
If the TV is big enough for the room I always go with the better PQ on a higher end set. If I want a big TV with all those stretched out pixels I'll get a Walmart special. In the thousands of dollars, the picture has to be perfect and I've never seen one of those huge TVs pull that off.
I had actually considered the 83 inch a90j before I went with the 65. I don't know what other people are seeing but the difference in pixel density and clarity between sizes even on the best consumer TV on the planet was obvious. If I was paying twice the amount for the bigger TV it needed to be the same or close PQ and it just wasn't.
@@evaloutionofman exactly kind of like look at a 30 inch reference monitor next to a 55 inch tv. The reference monitor at 30 inches will be cleaner and sharper, thats why I appreciate what Vincent and dnice and others have said the sony a90j. They said it has gotten closest to it in sharpness and detail because of the xr processor and the way they juice it up on the a90j. I hope others start listening to the people that have been in the community for 15 to 25 years. The people who have seen it all because it differs from what some people think they see or have seen before. If you aren't watching the tvs correct you won't be able to see the differences. Nobody is sitting 70 degrees to the side watching a tv 2 to 3x the distance you should be watching it lol. Anybody that thinks you can judge a tv that way is past any kind of logic to the point where I can't comprehend how they think. You also can't judge image quality over a video uploaded uploaded UA-cam. The first year I came into the tv world I learned how you can judge tvs and how you can't. It's commense, the issue is people don't like to listen and the first thing they do is run to social media and start spewing out false information. When if they would reach out to people with real knowledge they would find out quickly it's different then they think lol. Then you have people that try to push some narrative and then full knowing it doesn't look the way they say it does and they still still to prove it just to make themselves look like they know. Or that what they said was so called correct.
I’m between the C1 at 77 and x91j at 85…tough without being able to try them both out in my home and see if that extra size really is worth it over oled
Hey Fomo you know me I'd like to have both but if I was only given one choice it would most likely be picture quality for me. I can deal with a 55 inch TV and up. Especially because I live in an apartment not a house unfortunately.
The A90J 65" is $4995 in Australia, but the A80J 77" is $6995 - seems we're getting a better deal on the A90J and the US is getting a MUCH better deal A80J 75".
I like the video I just went out and got a Sony 900h 75 inch tv instead of the tcl 6 series They we’re both the same price where I live 1999 I know the tcl gets brighter but the Sony is beautiful I hope I made the right choice
Thank you for all this useful info! Personally I am trying to choose between a 77 inch Oled (C1 or A80J) and an 85" (X95J). Do the 8 extra inches worth giving up the perfect OLED picture? In general, how many extra inches justify sacrificing size for quality?
Agreed Qn90a killed it in my opinion this year I had the X95j for two weeks and returned it because I had a bad panel and haven’t looked back since the Qn90a
@@allargon Samsung doesn’t support Dolby Vision for films, the XR processor from Sony x95J gives you more accuracy in colours compared to Samsung, the motion is a lot better than the Samsung and the multi acoustic panel sounds better than the Samsung, in my opinion from seeing the QN85 in person it has really bad blooming especially on off viewing angles which makes the back lighting of the tv look green and the blooming control looks a lot more better on the Sony X95J. If your going strictly for picture quality and film features Sony also has something called imax enhanced which is similar to Dolby vision but it can be used for youtube, netflix, Bravia core etc. The only really decent comparison would probably be the QN94 but in my opinion because of the extra features Sony has its a lot better to stick with sony
Tbh OLED does create a big difference when it comes to contrast and extra detail but it’s preference OLED screens are more for those dark scenes you’ll never get from an LED
Wow. Perfect timing for this video. I have been struggling with the choice between Sony OLED A90J 65” vs the A80J 77”. My next question is who to purchase from - Costco or Best Buy? And perhaps need them to deliver and set up. Who does a better job? Thanks. Loved loved this video.
I will be buying from Bestbuy. If they drop it bringing to basement they own it. Worth the installation charge. I think Costco is drop ship. No installing options, i stand (actually rack mount) to be corrected... ;-)
I have a 55 inch C3 and I can say that if I could’ve gotten a larger size, I would’ve gotten it over the G3. The G series is so nice, don’t get me wrong. The brighter screen would’ve been nice, but the C3 is still outstanding, especially for the price
Like somebody once said no matter how big your TV is its not that big after a while and as mentioned in other comments I have had the opportunity to experience both Sony A08J and A09J in home. The 09 blows the 08 away IMO. The 08 just had another $200 price drop in Canada.
My sitting distance is just over 11.5 feet (3.6m), thinking between the 77 inch A80J or the 85 inch X95j, do I pay the extra au$1000 for the A80j and sacrifice TV size for a better picture quality?
I think I've made my decision for the A80J 77"... Really worried about VRR never coming to it, would really piss me off. But it seems Sony will be pushing some PS5 specific capabilities to these TV in January, just in time for Horizon Forbidden West :-) Don't care for 120hz but VRR could come in handy for some games in the future.
Awesome video - I do have one question. I was watching Avatar on a bluray yesterday in 1080p and testing Sony's Reality Creation on a 55 inch 2014 Sony sitting 11+ feet away (20 degree FOV). First, is bluray considered high quality content? Bluray's content is usually 24-30mbps (granted capped at 1080p) and Reality Creation does make a visible difference on a 2014 1080p 55 inch TV - it's not night and day but a much clearer day. Obviously with a larger TV, higher resolution (1080p -> 4k), and a better processor like the XR , I would expect the difference to be even more pronounced. Even on my TV, Reality Creation's improvements increase as my FOV increases when I sit closer to the TV. Wouldn't someone be better off with a 75 inch Sony X90J than a 75 inch TCL 6? Unless the TCL6's HDR is simply earth-shattering and applies to all content (it does not), wouldn't we prefer the better picture quality that applies to all content when zooming in at 200% which is what a large TV does. My assumption here is that the X90J supports Reality Creation. I know this is a curveball 😃
Something similar happened to me. I was in between the CX77 or the Sony a80j 65”. I got the Sony in the end. But oled is the king, i would go for the Oled
hello, I'm in doubt between two tvs from samsung, the qn900a 65 inch and the qn800a 75 inch. They are at a similar price and I would like to know which one is worth more to have the best gaming experience and Highest image quality. Does the image quality that the qn900a has more than the qn800a make up for the difference of 10 inches less? or is it even better to go for a 75, but with a slightly lower image quality? The qn900a is at €4200 and the qn800a is at €4600. I wish you could help me
Pretty much set on the 55" A90J for my bedroom, I'm gonna be pretty close to it and I've sat 6ft away from 65's before and it's just a bit much for me personally.
I am on the fence between the 77" A80j and the 85" x95j. So I went to look at tvs on the wall at the store and when i finally saw the x95j I was really impressed with the picture as it was right beside the oleds. It was really that good. But over and over I keep hearing how oled is the true experience. FOMO doesnt like the x95j that much. Trying to figure it all out.
to be honest oled tv have amazing picture quality. the only downside is that they don't get as bright as qled tvs but they are still bright enough. thr contrast is what makes oled tvs look soo good it's not always just about brightness.
I’m in the same boat as you. But really if you can wait till a90j 83 inch drops to it’s lowest like in 2 years I would wait. Oled you will get the best viewing angles with best in class contrast. X95j if your not worried about viewing angles. For me I want that 77 a80j but I really want a 83 85 inch tv which I can buy with no regrets. Just the price point but if you can wait you get best bang for your money. Look at the A9G. Price was $8,000 and now it’s $3,000. Just wait.
Go with what looks better to you, i believe the hype on the oled and got a 55 inch A80j for my bedroom and honestly it’s so dim and dark I’m disappointed, I wish I had gotten the Samsung qn90a it has good enough black levels and super bright and punchy. It’s what looks better to your eyes, to me it seems I would rather have a brighter tv with really good black levels than a dim tv with perfect blacks, it’s what some ppl naturally prefer, that’s why you have oled fans and qled fans, with that being said I’m keeping the oled not going through the hassle of returning it but every time I watch it, it left me wanting more.
@@Surfin808allday I think the A80j. I bought a crazy expensive tv cabinet from BDI to house electronics and the A80j sits nicely on it. Delivery is on the 6th so I still have time to consider.
Hi, Your reviews are excellent. It's too good for people who doesn't know technical details but only their capabilities for real life usage. which one is better of these 2 - (1)SONY XR-65X90J OR (2)SAMSUNG Q90A 65 INCH. I am getting both the models for same price? and 40% lesser price for (3) SAMSUNG THE FRAME 2021 65 inch compared to above 2 models. Mainly watch streaming content from netflix, apple tv +, hotstar and other indian streaming services. my room conditions are medium brightness with windows facing TV. I watch TV mainly in the night in weekdays and daytime in the weekends :) out of the 3 which one should i pick. please respond asap. thanks in advance
Hello Dear friend Which TV is better in terms of image quality and technology for ps5, please help me, I'm really confused. Sony x90j sumsong q70b Or in your opinion, another TV besides these two. Thank you
Fomo cool vlog and very good information and all makes sense for sure. My question to you is that I'm not worried about the money and I want the best flat panel out there what size and brand would you buy. I want to go big and money is not a problem here could you please help me out there. Great job buddy keep up the great work 👍!!!
You didn't talk about the most important: If i want to buy an OLED 65" C1 or A90J, which is the bigger recomended alternative? I think this is where it gets hard...because 75-77" OLEDS are so expensive and if you go LED and bigger you lose that OLED quality. I really dont know, what do you think?
I love and listen all the time to fomo and while size and quality has been mentioned many times before it was great to a dedicated video for this as this is ultimately my concern when choosing.
Hey FOMO, I can not seem to find any comparison between the Sony x950h vs x91j. Which in your opinion is the better option at the same price? Not a gamer.
I have a 65 inch LG E7 that I bought on 2017. Should I upgrade to a 77 inch A80J? Their both WOLED in terms of picture. Should I wait for a 77 qd OLED to be affordable? All I can see I'm missing is the 2.1 HDMI port.

My a80j 77 will be delivered Saturday. Hopefully I made the correct decision 😊
@@justinarseneau9560 Yeah, I heard the gloss brings it closer to the brighter OLED’s. Is it really that much different than the semi-matte finish?
Good luck with image retention and burn in artifacts.

My thoughts exactly
After spending days watching yours and your buddies informative comparison videos I decided to go with the Sony XR77A80J + Costco extended warranty ($5000 Canadian after taxes). Bigger and more expensive than I orginally intended to spend but with the money I've saved due to the covid lockdown (working from home, not traveling, etc) it was doable.
Thanks for this video which validated my decision to go bigger.
The 75 inch U7G is an ADS/IPS panel. It's not the same as the VA 65 inch that you reviewed.
yes, thanks. thinking about the X85J (or X90J) or TCL 6-Series R646.
My next buy will definitely be an 85”. Size really matters most. It’s a pity though that higher diagonals are not available for a reasonable price: 15 000 is definitely crazy, in 5 or 10 years maybe.
There are multiple 85” options that aren’t 15k. 85” OLED would run you 15k tho 😂
I think you skipped the query I had. What about 77" A80J Vs 85" LCD TV? 😅
Yes this is exactly what I am considering this week!!! I have been torn and now after this videos I think the 85” Sony LCD is the go for the extra 8” and in Australia it’s $500 au cheaper!
You are answering the exact question that I have been anguishing over lately- size vs PQ vs price
THANKS for this review!
I'll take a ~100" 4K TV for ~USD 3000 over any other smaller TV.
The picture quality of any average TV is good enough for me. On the other hand, the screen size is way more critical for the overall sensation.

That's an amazing gaming combination!
@@oldb3139 is the c1 better? For me it was between the A80j or the c1
I just bought the 77” A80J and I’m very happy with it. It seems plenty bright to me.
I chose an 85 inch LCD over a 65 inch OLED. And that extra 20 inches of immersion means so much more than the difference in picture quality.
Agreed
100%
This video is great! I actually went through that first example this weekend! Lol I was contemplating getting the 55 inch A90j but I saw that 77 inch A80j and it was a no brainer lol

The u7g at 75" will not be a good idea when it comes to contrast since it's an IPS panel for that size.
Bummer
And? Not many ppl watch TV in complete dark, just put a soft dim ambient light and it will be good enough for most ppl.
@@VeeeeryyyFaaaastSlooooth I agree, but certain people are anal about contrast and blooming from IPS panels nor do they like the idea of ambient light. Me personally, if the IPS panel has plenty dimming zones with a good algorithm + have a good amount of peak brightness, the contrast and blooming won't be an issue from a normal viewing distance. The Samsung QN85a is an example of this.
I recently got the tcl r646 and after about ten days it just straight up died unfortunately. I liked the tv pq was really nice but Google tv was a little buggy so when I returned it I had to either pick something else or wait up to three weeks on the tcl. So I went with the Vizio p65q9-j1 because I needed a tv and I could afford to take a chance because it was on sale and I had an extended warranty. Almost two weeks later and I honestly prefer the p series. Blacks are nice and inky hdr has plenty of pop and all the hdmi 2.1 features have worked flawlessly. I feel people are really sleeping on this tv it honestly offers a really nice home cinema experience. This year all I heard about Vizio was they cut back the specs on their TVs what were they thinking. Even with less dimming zones the tv had very little blooming and does a great job increasing the contrast. Maybe Vizio wanted to simplify things a bit and make sure they produced more consistent TVs than last year. If you catch the new p series on sale especially Black Friday if it’s under a grand give it a go. I’m very pleasantly surprised with mine
Such a great and helpful video, more please! Do you think a review of the projectors would also be good?
Maybe I missed it somehow, but I think you skipped over the 75"/85" categories. If someone was considering the 77" A80J, is there a better choice in the 85" category? X95J or X91J in 85" ?
I typically prioritize PQ first with size being the secondary factor. I appreciate how the a90j just hits different. All OLEDs have typically underwhelmed when it comes to high APL (maxFALL) scenes but the A90J is actually able to do them justice now.
Congrats on reaching 100K subscribers Fomo!
Using a small guest room for a man cave, I watch mostly older content and some dolby vision with dolby atmos content from my ultra 4k blueray player, Disney+ and Netflix. Got a 55 inch sony x90j for the good upscaling, it's big enough since I seat pretty close to the tv. Got a flat ceiling and use a vizio dolby atmos soundbar, which works great in a small room. I get a pretty immersive experience with this setup.
I watch a lot of older content myself. I'm a big western t.v. shows man. The sad part is most of them are in lower resolutions. So I depend on good upscaling to watch my favorites.
I went 65" A80J and could not be happier. The picture, after calibration, is insanely good. I love it more each day I get to look at it. To me, OLED is best. Plus the upscaling and skin tones are better on Sony than LG C1.
I’m getting the 77” model next week.. What is the cost for calibration if I may ask..?
An OLED fan will advice you to get a 42" oled sitting 20 feet away in a bright livingroom over a 100" miniled. Because, you know, blooming is such a huge problem on 2021 miniled's.
I actually do this in my small room with a 48" C1, but I close the blinds 😂
@@megaapfel No shame in that, I was just making a joke about die-hard OLED fans and their needs to talk sh** about everything else.
The U7G has an IPS panel instead of a VA panel. I don’t really know why they did that but I think it’s a deal breaker for me.
I personally bought the 75 inch u7g thinking it wouldn’t be a big deal. It is a HUGE deal. The blooming and black levels are atrocious. It makes dark room viewing a very unpleasant experience. I therefore exchanged it for a 75 inch x90j (only a $300 CAD difference at the moment). Best decision I ever made.
77" A80J is on the shopping list. Hello from England.
How about 77" LG C1 OLED vs 85" Samsung QN90A? They are about the same price. Is the extra 8" worth giving up the OLED?
This was very informative but I'm stuck between the 75" X90j or the 77" A80j which $1500 more. I don't really game, so is the X90j a better choice.
Great video ! I am debating between a 85" TCL Q6 or a 75" Q7 for about the same price both . I sit around 8-9 ft from viewing distance and use the tv for movies sports and gaming . Which would you recommend?
Congrats on 100k subs!!
You should make this an annual series, fomo. I’d love to see an updated 2023 list.
I'm debating 77 A80J vs 85 X95J, or I can get an 85 QN90A for 3200 with student discount. Too many choices!
In my current setup I'd go for the higher quality 55 inch TVs, such as the Sony X90J, since I still have a massive library of DVD quality content and I'm a gamer as well. I'll wait a little while longer before buying a TV.
For your next TV, are you planning to choose size over ultimate quality?
Maybe I will go beyond 8K for the next time.
Also I have tested VRR on X900H and yes it has some issues like weird image flashing, local dimming being off, and weird screen tearing sometimes. But overall it's very good. I have made a video about it you can check it out.
Im starting to think bigger is better but I use a bias light for my pupils so black black bars don't mean much to me.
Picked quality over size and I seriously couldn't be more happy. I learned my lesson trying to save money and getting a lg CX last year. With the a90j I love what I see every time I see the TV and if I'm ever having that , this is too dim feeling all us OLED owners secretly get, I just put on vivid and problem solved.
@stop the FOMO what about room size vs tv size? my room size is ~3.75 meter side so side (wall to wall) what is the best size for that distance? 77" will fit?
Great content! Q: I’m sitting 10 ft away and have about 1200 to spend. Mostly streaming content in a non bright room. Space for a 65”. What do you recommend?
I'm going with the 85" X95J. I would love to get a A90J but can't handle that huge price tag. I'm sure the extra brightness will make up for it. Thanks for all of the great content!
Good choice
Yep
I went with a Samsung 85 inch I did had to increase my budget to $3400 to not lose some quality It’s been a year and a half now and I’m still very happy with it
I think you missed a more important point. That being screen door affect when you go bigger on a 4K TV. We went to the Sony X85J and couldn’t keep it.
Have you done an X95J and A80J comparison? They have very similar prices.
Qn90a is the best tv to buy at the 80 inch mark oled is way to pricey at that size and way to hype
Qn90a pq is superb and so is the tv overall
Yes the oled has a better pq but by a little bit not as huge as people make it out to be same wit the black levels
Thats the same reason y i returned the 83 c1 for a 85 qn90a saved way more money and the brightess is a plus also especially in hdr when its bright scenes
the oled is not as dull as people make it out to be but it does lack that brightness punch
Last week i compared the 85" QN90A and 77" C1. The QN90A has slow local dimming and it ruins moving images when brightness and colors change. I have a video on my channel showing it. With LD on Standard or in Game Mode it's not as bad but still noticeable. I thought I'd be keeping it but after seeing that and the color difference compared to C1, I had to return it.
@@andrewskaterrr seen ur vid ur qn90a is faulty bro mibes not like that and my friwnd has one to doesnt have that problwm
Still rocking a hisense u7a edge lit tv and it taps out at 400nits.when it dies then maybe can upgrade but it is still strong as a horse.
quality over quantity... when is the 83 A90J goin on sale? BF is still 2 months away
Hi firstly I would like to say keep up the amazing videos. I find them very informative.
I have a question, maybe one that is not appropriate for this video but excuse me.
I live in Germany. We don't have exactly the same models here like in the USA. But I am eyeing the TCL 55c825x1 the one with mini LED and Onkyo sound system. It is around the 1000 euro price point. My needs are movies and next gen gaming. Is that a tv that will do the trick? Thanks for your time and sorry the essay-like post🙏😅.
Hey FOMO, first of all, your channel is great! Keep it up!
I'm between C1 77" and the QN90A 85"... What would you recommend for a large and bright living room, and considering that the TV is used for gaming/sports/movies (33% of the time each)?
QN if bright room
@@tellinustr8up thank you!
QN90A ISSUES!!!!!
Something I guess you didn't notice in your review of the QN90A is the SLOW Local Dimming. It's pretty bad. I bought the 85" and have video of it the LD Lag on my channel. MAJOR ISSUE!! I compared it to (and kept) the 77" C1 instead.
Dang, a 100k subs??? I remember watching you when you were a tiny channel. Good job
Ahhh excuse me I thought the hisense 75inch was a no buy from everyone because of bad IPS panel that also wasn't disclosed in marketing to everyone.
I'm surprised FOMO has discussed this since he so highly recommends the U7G.
Excellent video. Thanks.
What is the best 75 inches TV in your opinion for watching 80% low quality content with a budget USD 2000 max ? Mostly looking for a better picture quality with low quality content. Audio quality is not important.
Had to subscribe , good no great information I’m in the process of wanting a bigger screen but have a lg Cx oled this video made me think about on what I could get now cheers heaps
Toward 100K subscribers!
Just talked to someone that cane from an old 1080p 52 samsung he went to a 77 inch oled and didn't like the image quality. He went to a smaller tv a 55 ans he loves it. Pixel density does come into play and it's all about preference. Get what yoy guys like if you want bigger go for it if yoy want smaller go for it. I've always been one to go towards smaller as the inage is a bit tighter I mean same amount of pixels on a 55 that is on an 83 inch so yeah pixel density. I've also noticed you don't notice flaws as easily on smaller tvs. I also don't notice noise in the image as much. But see we all have eyes and notice different things and it's all preference. I will always choose qauliyy over size some people are so used to big tvs for them they love the image and hey that's awesome I'm happy for whoever gets what they like.
If the TV is big enough for the room I always go with the better PQ on a higher end set. If I want a big TV with all those stretched out pixels I'll get a Walmart special. In the thousands of dollars, the picture has to be perfect and I've never seen one of those huge TVs pull that off.
I had actually considered the 83 inch a90j before I went with the 65. I don't know what other people are seeing but the difference in pixel density and clarity between sizes even on the best consumer TV on the planet was obvious. If I was paying twice the amount for the bigger TV it needed to be the same or close PQ and it just wasn't.
@@evaloutionofman exactly kind of like look at a 30 inch reference monitor next to a 55 inch tv. The reference monitor at 30 inches will be cleaner and sharper, thats why I appreciate what Vincent and dnice and others have said the sony a90j. They said it has gotten closest to it in sharpness and detail because of the xr processor and the way they juice it up on the a90j. I hope others start listening to the people that have been in the community for 15 to 25 years. The people who have seen it all because it differs from what some people think they see or have seen before. If you aren't watching the tvs correct you won't be able to see the differences. Nobody is sitting 70 degrees to the side watching a tv 2 to 3x the distance you should be watching it lol. Anybody that thinks you can judge a tv that way is past any kind of logic to the point where I can't comprehend how they think. You also can't judge image quality over a video uploaded uploaded UA-cam. The first year I came into the tv world I learned how you can judge tvs and how you can't. It's commense, the issue is people don't like to listen and the first thing they do is run to social media and start spewing out false information. When if they would reach out to people with real knowledge they would find out quickly it's different then they think lol. Then you have people that try to push some narrative and then full knowing it doesn't look the way they say it does and they still still to prove it just to make themselves look like they know. Or that what they said was so called correct.
I’m between the C1 at 77 and x91j at 85…tough without being able to try them both out in my home and see if that extra size really is worth it over oled
Where did you land?
Yea so which did u get? I’m having trouble choosing between them too
Im getting a sony 75 x95j next week, do you recommend?
Hey Fomo you know me I'd like to have both but if I was only given one choice it would most likely be picture quality for me. I can deal with a 55 inch TV and up. Especially because I live in an apartment not a house unfortunately.
I went 83a90j I wanted it all. I would never choose the 65a90j over the 77a80j though. But I would
take a 65 inch oled over a 75lcd.
The A90J 65" is $4995 in Australia, but the A80J 77" is $6995 - seems we're getting a better deal on the A90J and the US is getting a MUCH better deal A80J 75".
I like the video I just went out and got a Sony 900h 75 inch tv instead of the tcl 6 series They we’re both the same price where I live 1999 I know the tcl gets brighter but the Sony is beautiful I hope I made the right choice
I’m trying to decide whether to get 65 inch Sony x90j or 55 inch lg c1
This video is nice, however... Financially speaking It should be called, "How to complicate things even more" 😂
I am thinking between Sony 55" A95L vs 65" A80L. Both are priced similar. Which would you suggest?
Thank you for all this useful info! Personally I am trying to choose between a 77 inch Oled (C1 or A80J) and an 85" (X95J). Do the 8 extra inches worth giving up the perfect OLED picture? In general, how many extra inches justify sacrificing size for quality?
Size is more important. Are you wed to Sony? Both the Samsung 85 inch QN90A and QN85A are better TVs than the 85 inch Sony X95J.
Agreed Qn90a killed it in my opinion this year I had the X95j for two weeks and returned it because I had a bad panel and haven’t looked back since the Qn90a
If you have a dark room, go OLED. If your room is bright, go LED.
@@allargon Samsung doesn’t support Dolby Vision for films, the XR processor from Sony x95J gives you more accuracy in colours compared to Samsung, the motion is a lot better than the Samsung and the multi acoustic panel sounds better than the Samsung, in my opinion from seeing the QN85 in person it has really bad blooming especially on off viewing angles which makes the back lighting of the tv look green and the blooming control looks a lot more better on the Sony X95J. If your going strictly for picture quality and film features Sony also has something called imax enhanced which is similar to Dolby vision but it can be used for youtube, netflix, Bravia core etc. The only really decent comparison would probably be the QN94 but in my opinion because of the extra features Sony has its a lot better to stick with sony
Tbh OLED does create a big difference when it comes to contrast and extra detail but it’s preference OLED screens are more for those dark scenes you’ll never get from an LED
Congrats on 100k subs Fomo!
CONGRATS ON THE 100K !!!! .... Awesome news =)
Wow. Perfect timing for this video. I have been struggling with the choice between Sony OLED A90J 65” vs the A80J 77”. My next question is who to purchase from - Costco or Best Buy? And perhaps need them to deliver and set up. Who does a better job? Thanks. Loved loved this video.
I will be buying from Bestbuy. If they drop it bringing to basement they own it. Worth the installation charge. I think Costco is drop ship. No installing options, i stand (actually rack mount) to be corrected... ;-)
@stopthefomo Ty for tis work.. I was debaing on 65 a90j or 77a80j ??
Go for the 77" A80J.
That's easy. Similar picture quality and more immersion - go with the 77 inch.
I have a 55 inch C3 and I can say that if I could’ve gotten a larger size, I would’ve gotten it over the G3. The G series is so nice, don’t get me wrong. The brighter screen would’ve been nice, but the C3 is still outstanding, especially for the price
Like somebody once said no matter how big your TV is its not that big after a while and as mentioned in other comments I have had the opportunity to experience both Sony A08J and A09J in home. The 09 blows the 08 away IMO. The 08 just had another $200 price drop in Canada.
Hmmmm.. for the same price, do i get 65x95j or a 75x80k? Looking forward on your thoughts
What would be a better choice: A80J 77 inch vs A90J 83 inch?
I'm going from a 40 inch LCD to a 55 inch LCD, instead of a 48 inch OLED. Small apartment and the need to move quite often, so can't go too big.
I think I'm going with size this time around.
What a great video, thanks!
My sitting distance is just over 11.5 feet (3.6m), thinking between the 77 inch A80J or the 85 inch X95j, do I pay the extra au$1000 for the A80j and sacrifice TV size for a better picture quality?
I think I've made my decision for the A80J 77"...
Really worried about VRR never coming to it, would really piss me off.
But it seems Sony will be pushing some PS5 specific capabilities to these TV in January, just in time for Horizon Forbidden West :-)
Don't care for 120hz but VRR could come in handy for some games in the future.
Vrr will get there dont worry
Awesome video - I do have one question. I was watching Avatar on a bluray yesterday in 1080p and testing Sony's Reality Creation on a 55 inch 2014 Sony sitting 11+ feet away (20 degree FOV).
First, is bluray considered high quality content? Bluray's content is usually 24-30mbps (granted capped at 1080p) and Reality Creation does make a visible difference on a 2014 1080p 55 inch TV - it's not night and day but a much clearer day. Obviously with a larger TV, higher resolution (1080p -> 4k), and a better processor like the XR , I would expect the difference to be even more pronounced. Even on my TV, Reality Creation's improvements increase as my FOV increases when I sit closer to the TV.
Wouldn't someone be better off with a 75 inch Sony X90J than a 75 inch TCL 6? Unless the TCL6's HDR is simply earth-shattering and applies to all content (it does not), wouldn't we prefer the better picture quality that applies to all content when zooming in at 200% which is what a large TV does.
My assumption here is that the X90J supports Reality Creation.
I know this is a curveball 😃
this is ridiculously good post - thx much
FOMO, I would be curious of thoughts on A80J 77" vs X95J 85". I am still leaning A80J due to OLED picture quality and sound. Thoughts?
Something similar happened to me. I was in between the CX77 or the Sony a80j 65”. I got the Sony in the end. But oled is the king, i would go for the Oled
That is a very difficult decision.
But I'd go for the 77" A80J over the 85" X95J for watching movies in a dark room.
hello, I'm in doubt between two tvs from samsung, the qn900a 65 inch and the qn800a 75 inch. They are at a similar price and I would like to know which one is worth more to have the best gaming experience and Highest image quality. Does the image quality that the qn900a has more than the qn800a make up for the difference of 10 inches less? or is it even better to go for a 75, but with a slightly lower image quality? The qn900a is at €4200 and the qn800a is at €4600. I wish you could help me
I want the A90J but it’s so expensive so if I go with the 77 inch A80J what would I lose?
Pretty much set on the 55" A90J for my bedroom, I'm gonna be pretty close to it and I've sat 6ft away from 65's before and it's just a bit much for me personally.
Best time to buy……..when newer tv’s come into stock and tv from last year price drops. That’s when you buy the dream tv……
Which is the better tv for just movies and sports a80j vs c1? I don't do gaming and just care about tv shows and sports. Thank you very much.
I am on the fence between the 77" A80j and the 85" x95j. So I went to look at tvs on the wall at the store and when i finally saw the x95j I was really impressed with the picture as it was right beside the oleds. It was really that good. But over and over I keep hearing how oled is the true experience. FOMO doesnt like the x95j that much. Trying to figure it all out.
to be honest oled tv have amazing picture quality. the only downside is that they don't get as bright as qled tvs but they are still bright enough. thr contrast is what makes oled tvs look soo good it's not always just about brightness.
I’m in the same boat as you. But really if you can wait till a90j 83 inch drops to it’s lowest like in 2 years I would wait. Oled you will get the best viewing angles with best in class contrast. X95j if your not worried about viewing angles. For me I want that 77 a80j but I really want a 83 85 inch tv which I can buy with no regrets. Just the price point but if you can wait you get best bang for your money. Look at the A9G. Price was $8,000 and now it’s $3,000. Just wait.
Go with what looks better to you, i believe the hype on the oled and got a 55 inch A80j for my bedroom and honestly it’s so dim and dark I’m disappointed, I wish I had gotten the Samsung qn90a it has good enough black levels and super bright and punchy. It’s what looks better to your eyes, to me it seems I would rather have a brighter tv with really good black levels than a dim tv with perfect blacks, it’s what some ppl naturally prefer, that’s why you have oled fans and qled fans, with that being said I’m keeping the oled not going through the hassle of returning it but every time I watch it, it left me wanting more.
So what’s the verdict? Which tv you buying?
@@Surfin808allday I think the A80j. I bought a crazy expensive tv cabinet from BDI to house electronics and the A80j sits nicely on it. Delivery is on the 6th so I still have time to consider.
Hi,
Your reviews are excellent. It's too good for people who doesn't know technical details but only their capabilities for real life usage.
which one is better of these 2 - (1)SONY XR-65X90J OR (2)SAMSUNG Q90A 65 INCH. I am getting both the models for same price?
and 40% lesser price for (3) SAMSUNG THE FRAME 2021 65 inch compared to above 2 models.
Mainly watch streaming content from netflix, apple tv +, hotstar and other indian streaming services.
my room conditions are medium brightness with windows facing TV. I watch TV mainly in the night in weekdays and daytime in the weekends :)
out of the 3 which one should i pick.
please respond asap. thanks in advance
Surprised not to see the Sony X85J in the comparison? This is the big headache I've been having ... choosing between a 85" Sony X85J or a 75" X90J
Hello Dear friend Which TV is better in terms of image quality and technology for ps5, please help me, I'm really confused. Sony x90j sumsong q70b Or in your opinion, another TV besides these two. Thank you
Should I get a 55R646 or XR50X90J? Don't care much about 55" vs 50". It is only $200 difference. Thanks
11-12 inch viewing distance, 77 inch OLED for CAD$4,000 or 85 inch X91J for CAD$3,200??
Hi Fomo! Would you go for a 77 LG G1 or for a 77 Sony A80J?
Fomo cool vlog and very good information and all makes sense for sure. My question to you is that I'm not worried about the money and I want the best flat panel out there what size and brand would you buy. I want to go big and money is not a problem here could you please help me out there. Great job buddy keep up the great work 👍!!!
83 a90j if money not a thing. Seriously!!!
Better option ? Samsung Q90A 75" or Sony X85J 85" ?
You didn't talk about the most important: If i want to buy an OLED 65" C1 or A90J, which is the bigger recomended alternative?
I think this is where it gets hard...because 75-77" OLEDS are so expensive and if you go LED and bigger you lose that OLED quality.
I really dont know, what do you think?
I love and listen all the time to fomo and while size and quality has been mentioned many times before it was great to a dedicated video for this as this is ultimately my concern when choosing.
Hey FOMO, I can not seem to find any comparison between the Sony x950h vs x91j. Which in your opinion is the better option at the same price? Not a gamer.
I had the same question (if you mean x95j / x90j v x950h; I don't know an x91j) and found the online rtings comparison tool helpful.
Can you please show the best settings for movies on hiseance u6g everyone only dose the very expensive not many for budget TV’s
I have a 65 inch LG E7 that I bought on 2017. Should I upgrade to a 77 inch A80J? Their both WOLED in terms of picture. Should I wait for a 77 qd OLED to be affordable? All I can see I'm missing is the 2.1 HDMI port.
I have a 82 inch Q900R. Beside the problems I had, I couldn't go back to 58 inches. You need to experience it to understand.
Wanting a larger size TV and leaning towards the 75 R646 TCL if it ever makes it out or the 85 QN90A. Touch choice and huge price gap between the two.
Have you heard anything about a potential release date for 75 R646?
