@@DavidMander-rs4uk because I am giving the 21 model to my sister and her husband. They recently had their TV go bad and her dad passed away about a month ago. He did not have his affairs in order, so sadly she and my brother in law had to fork out about 18k to bury him. They had talked with me about buying it (before he passed). But I felt that I could upgrade AND help them by giving it to them.

Really glad you made this video Gene. Was told by my seller that since my TV was a Bravia no calibration was needed.

Thank you so much just bought the 75 and what a difference

The video i really needed. Changed a few things on my Sony tv and wow. I am very happy now. Thanks alot 🙏

Thank you again for such quality content Gene.

Thanks for this superb video guide I feel confident now to download & use the test patterns and use this video as my reference

Hey sweet! Just happened to be watching an older one of these. Im always adjusting my projector but never messed with my tv much. Amazing difference with this advice. Thanks!

Thank you for the video. Great information

This is why I am still rocking my old 1080p tvs.

Gene, this is great, thank you! Would have loved it if he/you had touched on Sony's "Cinemotion" settings... And also his/your thoughts using Sony's built-in Netflix "calibration mode", which I think looks amazing.. On a side note, I had purchased a new Apple TV, to go along with my new 85X90L, However, I ended up taking it back due to how good the TV looked/processed without it... Anyway, love the channel Gene. THANKS.

AWESOME THANK YOU!

Thank you!

Thx for this video and heads up. Question: with a Somy Bravia oled is it harmless to set the brigthness to max?

Thank you for letting me know why I couldn't get Dolby Vision on my A90J (the enhanced HDMI settings)!

Hi Jason!

I have a A90J.Unless professionally calibrated the best picture is custom picture mode with the default factory settings.

My Sony CX-960 Blue ray/ DVD player broke down I want to put all 400 blue rays on NAS or hard drive(s) play them straight to Marantz Home theater using HDMI? So What kind of hardware and software best to use?

I wonder what Jason, or Gene think of the Spears&Munsill UHD calibration disc.

So, how do you use the usb stick after downloading the test patterns?

A few weeks ago I upgraded to a Sony Bravia XR A90K Oled. With your help, it now looks like I expected it to. I am having a problem unrelated to PQ. I wasn't getting HDR from my Shield Pro because the Sony HDMI inputs weren't enabled. Now that the Shield and the Sony are setup properly, I'm still not getting HDR from the Shield. What could be the problem?

Please oled Sony 🙏🏻…

Where can we download the gamma step pattern? That's not included in the linked Murideo folder.

Always looking for ways to make my x95k better. Thanks!

I have a Sony A80J and use a PC with Nvidia RTX 3050 to a Denon X3800 using 120Hz refresh rate watching with things like Kodi. I love 120 Hz for movies because it is an even multiple of 24 fps whereas 60 isnt and i find it's a smoother picture. I find in the Enhanced settings of the Sony when I select VRR you lose certain feature like (i can't remember) Atmos or HDR, and when you choose Dolby Vision it limits the TV to 60 Hz, at least from the Windows side. For the PC I use the simple Enhanced for 4K mode that enables all the film goodies we are looking for, minus Dolby Vision. To watch DV from a stream or hard drive i use something like Kodi that can be installed on the smart tv side and use EARC out to the Denon. FWIW Kodi 21 came out a few days ago and i think it has native Dolby Vision support now. This is how i have it set up, just thought i'd share.

Tint control have always been part of NTSC sets. Here in the PAL region tint control didn't exist on tv's. Now with modern tv's it has appeared in the menu but i never touch it. Adjusting tint never seems to improve anything.

Motionflow should be set to Custom, 2 smoothness and clearness 0, on an OLED in my experience. I can't stand low frame-rate on OLED!

I’m a simple guy. I see rippling Gene, I click. No Sony tv ownership needed.

Sony really messed up not having the ports be able to output Dolby vision and vrr at the same time every other tv can edit the guy say who cares umm anyone using a avr and wants one cable to the tv

@kwinders

Ай бұрын

Not every other TV can do both at the same, many can't. It had to do with the chipset, not Sony specific. I bought the X900H, which has a rebooting issue that Sony couldn't fix, so they warranty replaced it with a X90K. I have the limitation and yes it bums me out but not a deal breaker. I have my Marantz SR-8015 connected to HDMI 3 with the eARC and my Xbox Series X to HDMI 4 with VRR, I use headsets with gaming so not a big deal and if I choose to use it for a disc player or want the game sound on the speakers, the eARC takes care of that without loss.

Exactly. It was such a disappointment when they added VRR to my x90j, only to find out it’s one or the other (DV), and only via ONE port. But that’s Sony these days - just can’t do anything 100%. I want to be able to use the features I paid for on my receiver. Therefore, a Sony will not even be considered for my next TV.

This is precisely how to make a TV dim. Joe Kane is from 1080p era. Look at what Standard mode on a QD OLED S95C 77" can do with color volume and NITs compared to Sony. DSP cant make pop.

What an incredible waste of our money, these energy saving modes that only a couple people in the green peace group will want to use. They all hamper performance and every single video and your own brother in law tells you to turn them off. They could eliminate them and pass the cost savings to the consumer. If I want to save some energy I’ll unplug my new tv and let it sit without use.

I find it valuable, if I was a business using the display all day. If I had a tight month and needed to trim back on bills I would appreciate a mode that would give me the best it can within the curve of diminishing returns relative to power consumption. If I was tripping breakers with tube gear and a gaming pc I would definitely appreciate all my electronics having an eco mode that I could use to try to reduce the power draw, or if was in a space that kept getting really hot from the electronics, the discomfort of the heat may be a worthwhile exchange for screen brightness. I would just be glad to have eco mode as an option. As a default, It makes sense to have it on since enthusiasts will be diving the menus anyway, but for the same reason having it on by default will leave many casual viewers unaware of their compromised image. As a method of reducing wanton cavalier energy consumption, it makes sense to have it on by default, and also when we consider the device is consuming the users money via electricity in it’s default operation, it makes sense to err on the cheaper operating cost configuration. Like a saleman automatically enrolling you in the most expensive package, starting with the base cost package is somewhat of a curtesy, but also annoying if you were wanting the best not the cheapest. But we all know it’s there because climate change is real and is going to cataclysmically shatter our world in a way that dim displays can’t even hold a candle to.

​@@SwirlingDragonMistIf you're tripping breakers, it's not from your TV settings. Check your CPU and GPU overclocks and turn them down or off to save power. The computer could waste or save way more energy than eco mode on the TV ever will. That setting just makes your TV too dim and hampers all the other adj.

@@frommatorav1 I feel we’re echoing the same idea. If you need to reduce power consumption, the more levers and options you have the better. Someone may choose to allocate their power budget to their display, while another to their GPU. Maybe even the same person just at different times in different moods. Just having the flexibility of the option does no harm. My room has lava lamps and an electric massager, maybe someone has a heated blanket their girlfriend likes for movies. Just saying flexibility with the power budget is nice. Having it on by default though, definitely debatable.

@@michaelwozniak8860 that is interesting, I think it’s all software driven, just values, the power savings coming from changing the parameters in which the values are limited.
