This is a shady sponsorship my friend: With the exception of Product Key Cards (PKC’s) distributed with COA’s, Microsoft does not distribute products keys as standalone products. - If you see a listing on an auction site, online classified ad, or other online page advertising product keys for sale, it’s a good indication that the keys are likely stolen or counterfeit. - If you were to purchase and use a stolen or counterfeit product key to activate Windows installed on your PC, the key may not work for activation, may already be in use on another PC, or it might be blocked from use later by Microsoft when the key is reported stolen.

There's no perfect TV but I think it's fair to say Bravia 9 is truly remarkable progress for MiniLED. Sony sprinkled magic dust on the backlight masterdrive (increase in zones and 22 bit precision) and it is just wonderful!

Black level is insanely good and I prefer this kind of an algorithm.

For example, about any model 65" LCD TV with Mini-LED back-lighting sold today, uses UNDER half the power at the same brightness level that any 65" OLED uses. OLEDs have NEVER been efficient in utilizing electrical power to produce a given level of brightness. A 2019 model Sony 77" A9G OLED we use in our basement theater room, has a maximum power use rating that's OVER 2 TIMES the maximum rated power usage of the 2014 Sharp 80" LCD TV (without Mini-LEDs) that I gave to a friend in Sept 2022, as we replaced the Sharp with Samsung's 85" QN90B LCD with Mini-LED back-lights.

If you are going to make wild claims - give us the data that backs it all up.

I know it's a difficult thing to measure and comment on but one of the most important things for me is the quality control of the tv. How bad is the dse at 85 inch? For us folks in other countries who don't have access to Robert to do quality control we have to play the panel lottery and I just had a terrible experience getting a 85 inch screen replaced due to extreme dse, I hope to never have to deal with that again.

With my discount I can get the 77" s90d for $800 less than the bravia 9(75"), would I be just as happy with the s90d? Thanks fomo keep up the good work.

Lg has good contrast in a dim lit room. Does that apply to mla as well? Just like qd oled tinted panel when light hits the panel. What about seeing numbers measuring Contrast off the panels in dimly lit room aswell? And also measuring contrast of colorful scenes without any black and how miniled measures and how it looks to human eyes. Oleds don't have high nits at full screen compared to leds. And I want to know if that full screen makes a difference in contrast and 3d pop. It should since glassless 3d tv are super bright to make the image pop and 3d. So miniled should be a better compromise between 3d tv and oleds. So in that case i should be buying miniled oreven just led, since most content I watch don't even have perfect blacks or much shadow detail. And with led I would be getting more contrast with brightness. And blooming doesn't even bother me compared to a dim and flat picture.

The LG just looks so good.

Last year, the 85-inch and 75-inch versions of the X95L model had different display panels, with the 85-inch version having a better panel.

Well, the Bravia 9 to me looks like the best TV on the market for video viewing.... mainly because the colours just seem to be the most accurate for most part. It's basically closest to the reference monitor in like 95% of the cases. I did read about some 'bad' things related to gaming. But that was mainly from 1 source and just a few guys. Supposedly the response time is like 17-18 ms even in gaming mode when playing at 60 fps... which is only slightly better than my 2018 Z9F and far worse than some of Sony's own TV's from recent years. Well, it isn't a dealbreaker since I don't play competitively anyhow, but it is something to keep in mind at least (ideally it's something they can improve with a software update perhaps if the issue is caused by lack of software optimisation for gaming).

@JLT3ch I meant input lag. But it is a bit on the high side for a modern TV (still good though I guess).

Hey buddy😊

Still having it it’s worth to say that the QD OLED A 95 L is still a master series and still within its category a popular TV. Even though the newest and latest comparisons is part of your job as reviewer. Because people who bought it at release and saved up money might feel like ohhh so this means it’s replacing every other model

@@natemekis3959 You make a very good point. You really think a lot of the brightness would be wasted in a basement setting? Wouldn’t it still however have more hdr impact than an OLED?

Thanks for asking. I certainly don’t want to tell you what to do or be a know-it-all, but I watch a LG B7 at night/pitch dark besides the tv of course. I keep the brightness down. That infinite contrast will be what gives the image a 3D “wet” pop. Nothing beats oled it the dark. Bright living room Bravia9 all day. If you love Sony processing which I hear it great, A80L 77 or 83. Bravia8 is not a big enough leap for the money. But if you got the cash LG G4 sounds like it has great improved processing and the brightness if you want that hdr pop. I’m waiting til G4 or S90D come into my money range. Cheers.

how the Bravia 9 compare the tcl X955?

Have you considered doing a comparison between pc monitor panels like the new OLED Samsung G8 G80SD and existing 27 inch MiniLED monitors to see which performs better?

@stopthefomo

Gaming monitors are their own beast because gamers either prioritize latency and frame rates (expensive 360hz OLED) or HDR impact (miniLED). Generally, OLED wins if you’re willing to pay the price. I personally prefer QDOLED for uniformity and color saturation because I’m fine with its current latency and refresh rate

I got my B9 few weeks ago, but there is brighten spot on the screen that is about 8" wide shape like a jelly bean located on the center left side of the screen. Contacted Sony and for three days worth of correspondent they determine it is "working within specs". I can't stand it, cause I can see it in dark scenes. So I am returning it back to Sony (bought directly). I have the LG G4 on order now.

HI SIR, ADVICE ME BEWTEEN LG C4 OR BRAVIORS. consindering durability and picture quality. im a movies fun

While I am quite happy to see manufacturers improving their LCD and OLED TVs year over year, I think we have long arrived at the point, where the quality of the content is holding things back for more than the quality of the Display. Pretty much the same thing as what we can see in terms of Audio. We have all these nice standards and formats, HDR, 4K60 or 4K120 with high clarity, brightness, contrast and everything, but frequently get HDR capped at less than 500nits or even SDR in an HDR container. Hollywood clings to 24p, thus destroying most of the advantages of 4K or even 1080p as soon as movement is involved or adds artificial "digital grain" etc. On the audio side, we are seeing Atmos mixes without actual object based audio, just static 7.1.2 or at most 7.1.4 and very little Surround Sound, let alone Heigt effects. In terms of Music, we get all kinds of high-resolution containers with the audio often having the potential of exceeding what humans can hear by several orders of magnitude but the actual recording being dynamically compressed, badly recorded, mushy and not even using the available bandwidth of something like a good old Audio CD. So yes, modern TVs, AVRs and Speakers are great, but the Content industry is way behind most of the time. Sorry for ranting...🧘‍♀️

I’ve been saying this for years. Buying $5,000 tvs is stupid when the content itself will almost never justify that. There’s a reason almost all modern tvs look great when you watch Demo footage and footage from HDR Demo channels on KZread. Then you watch Netflix and other content a d it never matches that. Then you have a lot of directors you think the world looks dark and drab and no tv is going to make that content look better. Look at how Some scenes in Game of Thrones are shot, where it’s so dark you can’t see anything. A $5,000 fake “4,000 Nit” tv isn’t going to do much better than a $800 1,000 Nit TV.

Honestly, if you're rich, the Bravia 9 is the best of both worlds. It has everything i like about LCD with the strenghs of a OLED. AND its a Sony TV, so it also has the best color accuracy and processing on the market. Truly outstanding.

In terms of 2023 models, which is better the x90l or x93L? I know you awarded the x90l your best for most people. But would the mini led from Sony be better? Of course the xrclear processor comes into play too. Thanks

I'll answer, x93l at 85" otherwise if buying a smaller size TV save some money and get the 90l with xr clear. I love my x95k but it's only a bit better than my 900e which was regular led FALD like the 90l.

@@zackbutler950 initially the x93l and x95k had software differences but I've received multiple firmware updates that have given me all the same features that were previously exclusive to the x93l so I'm convinced at this point in time they are basically the same TV. With that said I also have the 65" which is an inferior panel to what they put in the 85", so I think the difference between a 65" x90l is small compared to a 65" x93l/x95k, mini led is mostly a power saving feature in these models it's the bravia 9 that has turned it into an actual high performance backlight system.

@@Jodez23 not that much better, zone count is still low so the leds being "mini" doesn't make the blacks blacker. The problem with the x95k and x93l is that the native contrast ratio on the panel is poor, around 2,000:1. My x900e had a 6,000 iirc native contrast ratio so these new panels Sony is buying suck, they need local dimming to fix the poor panel performance.

@@heikoklose84 DSE = dirty screen effect, the clouding and blotchiness that plagues LCD TVs. I assume DTM = dynamic tone mapping. DTM Off - TV uses a static table to map the input brightness of a picture to the real output brightness it is capable of rather than the static meta data provided by the content. Static meta data mostly tells the screen the minimal and maximal peak brightness of the whole movie / TV show episode. DTM On - The TV tries to guess what output brightness would look the best on a per scene level based on both the input brightness, the static meta data as well as by analyzing the scene.
