    Very well organized and informative. As someone who doesn’t buy a new TV very often I find myself overwhelmed by the cryptic model numbering systems used by different manufacturers. This video helped me to understand the various Sony models lines and make a decision about which one was right for me.

    I would love to see a video on home cinema speaker setup value/mid/premium recommendations for the flagship TVs of the year, ie. LG G3 & Sony A95L. Especially given both of these act as a centre channel in the right set ups. Personally I’m considering the G3 and interested in value/mid recommendations for a setup that works well with this TV, taking advantage of using the TV as a centre channel.

    My Bravia 65” freezes at least once a week requiring you to unplug it to reset it. They downloaded a patch to fix and it helped but still happens. Also, you will drop the remote control often. It’s so thin that you can only get your finger tips on it.

    I know one is full array LED and one is OLED so there are some very obvious differences, but in practice how much difference would there be? How perceivable is it?
    As due to the newer version launches, in many places the OLED of last year is costing same as the full array LED of this year, or OLED of last year 65" costs same as full array LED of 75" last year, so it might be helpful.

    Hi I want to buy the Sony Bravia XR as I have a Sony PS5. Thanks in advance but I have 3 questions before I buy…
    Question 1) I only have space for only a 50” or a 55" so which one is better out of the 2?
    Question 2) I heard that OLED was the best so if the Sony Bravia XR is made for the PS5 then why is the Bravia XR only LED and not OLED or doesn’t it matter?
    Question 3) I use a Digital Audio Optical TOSLINK cable from the TV or Mac and plug it into my amp for 7.1 sound. Does the Sony Bravia XR 50” and 55” have a output socket for a Digital Audio Optical TOSLINK Cable? This one is a make or break for me if it hasn’t got one then I won’t buy it.

    How can you say A95L is the best panel of the bunch when it suffers from serious burn-in problems like most other OLED panels as shown by RTINGS endurance testing? VA panels are still the only long term choice for a gamer, sports enthusiast, and creative power user where the screen deals with a lot of static images.
