They actually do more than pay the bills with those buttons on the remote. I've heard that at least Netflix and Disney+ will outright not allow their apps to be pre-installed onto a TV if there is not a dedicated button for the app on the remote. So if Sony wants to include Netflix, Disney+, or other major streaming services on their internal OS, they usually have to include that button on their remote.

I was in the market for an 85” for a bright room (two walls of windows and two skylights). Soon as I saw the prices listed for the X95K, I bought the previous gen X95J before stock could run out and saved thousands for very similar performance.

Really can't make out what you pay this hefty bonus on those TV's.

The only problem with it is very occasional blooming in dark scenes, and finding source material good enough lol. I end up watching hdr demo's on youtube just to appreciate the panel lol. Sony make the best bright room TV's on the market. And honestly when you play to its strengths, bright colours vs dark oled scenes. The picture is jaw dropping. And im sure as shit not dropping 6k on a panel thats susceptible to oled burn in. XD

Lol there's a huge difference between the X95k and an LG C2. Huge. I returned my 77" C2 because it barely outshined my 2017 C7 OLED. Had a B2 for a week before I had the c2. That one's not even close. First time OLED buyers will love their first LG OLED. Second time around you might consider mini led for the massive advantages in brightness and worry-free gaming for hours and hours. ;)

This tv comes with two subs in the back two from firing speakers and two tweeters on the sides. Sounds absolutely amazing. I barely turn on my surround sound anymore as it pretty much has a sound bar built in. Wayyy better than the oled set I had before.

People, if you get a TV like this put in the effort of getting some good Dolby Vision movies. And some proper sound (Linus, you said the subs in your home cinema were too large, the KEF KF92 is more powerful, goes deeper, has no port so easier to place and is even cheaper I believe in a WAY smaller footprint)

It entirely depends on the rest of your speakers. It's not going to be timbre matched, unless you're also using Sony tvs for all you're other channels, which would be stupid. And it's not going to keep up with anything of even decent sound quality. Say you've got an explosion on the screen, the processor will send the sound to probably all three front channels if it's centered. You would be able to make out all the tinny garbage coming from the TV vs the reasonable sound coming from the rest of the speakers. And if you've got a sound bar, you've already got a matching center channel. No point in probably making it worse. It's not a _"weird conclusion to come to"_ on a $3200 television where people will most likely have some sort of sound solution that is orders of magnitude better than what the center channel can keep up with. You can't just add a single shit-tastic speaker into a decent setup. It will call attention to itself all the time.

Two equidistant speakers outputting the same signal, or a mono signal (no stereo information) will come through as a "virtual center channel." So since dialogue is 99% in mono, it will just appear as such.

Yeah, but the problem is that if you mix a surround track down to stereo (considering most DVDs and Blu-rays only have a surround track and not a separate stereo track), it’s going to have too much dynamic range when compared to a properly mixed stereo track, leading to parts where the dialogue is too quiet that you have to turn the volume up, only to burst your eardrums when there’s an explosion. By separating the dialogue through placing it in a center channel, you can just adjust each channel separately so that the dialogue sounds right without having to worry about the other channels.

We've yet to get the X95K into my work but the 55X94K sound for example is fantastic for a TV. Not in the same way that a properly configured Sony OLED would sound but MUCH better than most other models out there. It's not just as simple as 2 poor stereo speakers plonked at the bottom of the set. Whenever setting these up, they always require some tweaking in the settings for them. Also, turning on Dolby Audio makes a massive difference. Turn off surround mode (it's not great) Dialogue enhancement anywhere between 2-4, depending on personal preference EQ vaules of Max, 10, 8, 6, 4, 2, 4 (My preference) Fire up the volume offset too That's what almost all of the TVs in my shop are set up with (Sony retailer in the UK).

PULL DOWN WALL MOUNTS!!!???!!!! WHAT ROCK HAVE I BEEN UNDER TO NOT KNOW ABOUT THESE! Came here for the TV content and found the wall mount to be the best part of the video. Learn something new everyday

The 2022 X90/95k doesn't seem like enough of an upgrade over last year's X90/95J. Especially if you can find clearance stock of the 90/95J

X95k is not even an upgrade. It’s a blooming machine

The X90K is brighter than the X90J, but both are fantastic TVs. I wouldn't buy a K series of either model as a simple upgrade from the J series though.

95J is in some ways a downgrade from the X95H

am i the only one who hates those types of feet stands, Im so used to the lg oled stand bar it pretty much fits on any table but with the two separate pronged feet I feel you need to have a specific type of table to put it on

I’m very happy with my C1 with Bose TV speaker for now, I will add Bose 500 sub module soon

Wait!? Did Sony make an SoC that can't run any version of Android later than version 10?

Custom is the most accurate which is basically filmmaker mode

I legit love my X85J. I chose it over OLED due to needing higher brightness. It may have fewer dimming zones, but i really can only see blooming on stuff like game loading screens; never in a movie or when action is happening. The OS is waaaaaaaayyyyyyy better than what other things I've used. I tried the LG C1 OLED at my friends house and that had such a terrible experience using the thing. On top of that, I really couldn't notice a huge gap in picture quality. Sony's processing and color science look way more natural than LG too.

this review from him seems biased to oled and not sonys, the oleds are dim and get burn in. linus made a video that to fix burn it it pretty much scrubbs the pixels and loses clarity. also samsung doesnt even support dolby vison or dts audio c1 is just mediocre honestly sure its a bit blacker but my tv is like twice as bright, there tvs are very HDR'nt linus would have done this review better honestly also with google tv you can install VLC and play any video file, it also has usb 3.0 support instead of 2.0 like the others

I got the X90J, and I'm content with it. I could afford a bigger screen size than the OLED, and I know I'd be worried about burn-in all the time anyway, so eh.

Speaker impression is really short. which this is short circuit so yeah. But saying dont use s-center because it most likely sucks. Then hearing that the speaker setup in the tv is lacking base to a kind of extreme could mean they sacrificed that to get better sound quality for higher frequencies then base. Making it ok to listen to. This is only my impression i have not listened to that tv but that would be interesting since the Sony HT system looks pretty good. A phantom center also only works if your seated correctly if your watching with 2-3 or more people most likely nobody has a good phantom sound source. so no a phantom speaker does not in any way what so ever do the same as a real center. the more speaker the bigger the sweet spot for the listeners

Hey, can you make a video about what TV to buy in every budget category? I mean its easy to buy a good TV when you have an unlimited budget. But finding something with good software and picture on a budget is impossible. Too many display technologies out there.

No filmmaker mode come on it's like the only thing I miss with Sony TVs. I always mess with the settings because family tends to change it too. It would be so much more easier

my lg c2 always wants that i put filmmaker mode on but what does it change?

I had a Bravia TV and then I was homeless and so I used it in the motel room and because they had wifi people were able to cut on my TV while I was sleeping. And considering I was on the Southside of Richmond, being awaken by that in your sleep is scary

I love when he mentions your brain creating a center speaker when you get left and right mixed together because I'm wearing headphones and I can hear him in my head. Obvious sarcasm.

those checked back will gather dust well.
