    I currently have a 65" 4k LED, purchased in 2017. I was looking into OLEDs but was steered away from them due to the fact that I have a bright family room with lots of natural light. Instead I was directed towards this tv here.. After doing some reading and watching some reviews, I don't doubt that it's a solid TV, but for the price point and costing just as much as the OLED's, I am having a hard time justifying getting this..

    😊My Canadian bussiness PROFESSOR 👩‍🏫:” SONY does NOT want consumers buy their High end TV. Their BEST SELLING TVS 90-95% are Entry n mid range. They SHOW their Luxry TV like how BMW X7 will show up at SHOW room. Most buy BMW X3. Cuz ONCE u go HIGH END phone 📱 screen u cant go back. SONY will Make sure their high end TV Over priced. So ppl buy can have Braging rights. N they will UP SELL the low/entry much discounted, to make ppl believe they are CLOSE to flagship. In 3 yrs ppl will be tempted to UP GRADE Lured by --NEW FLAGSHIP. They end up buying new Entry or New Mid range. Rinse n repeat. They do NOT want ppl to buy X93L or X95L. Because Once u buy X93L, u will NEVEr be happy with FUTURE X90. 😮😮😮 they LOSE u as Customer --FOREVER for x90. Next years NONE of em will buy the 77 80 85 90. THOSE TVS will NOT SELL!! N the X93 x95 will be GOOD enough in visual that ppl spend $3000 they are going to hold onto it for as LONG as they CAN till they BREAK down, not for “early upgrade” . N if too many buy X93L or X95L, the Flagship, n premiums BECOMES the --NEW X90 generic. It LOWERS Brand pristege n total Brand value. In 3 more years the Market will be flooded with VERY Cheap 3 yr old SONY Flagship TV(smaller etc). PPL buy x90L n not liking it, they just assume they are too poor “should have bought better one” ☝🏼 . N low budget customers will go ONLINE to find second hand -older Flagship. N once they USE that. They can ALSO NEVEr going to like the new 77 80 85 90 even 93. THAT’s also goign to CRUSH the entry level SALES. 😅😮 Yeah dude . It was d --MOST JAW DROPPING odd Business Class when i was INFORMED :” SONY want customers buy their LOW , entry level TVS when all they did is showing their Flagship” 😮 then “Back door ask Bestbuy, sales to PUSH x85 x90 using flagship in store, they want 90% customers OVER PAYING for entry n mid range SONY. They ONLY want the 2-5% or less ppl own Flagship. THEY LOSE MONEY by PRODUCE/SELLING Flagship ”. 😮😮😮 It took YEARS for me sink in that--FACt. Still strange for me to say it today!!!😮

    😊 U know SONY never invented/produced BEST LED tvs right? 😊 SHARP -Aquos. Produced 100% 💯 of SONY’s entry and BRAVIA high end Flagship LEDs…back in the day. Thats how they PUT SONY on the premium LED Map. 🗺️ SONY MASS order whole sale middle man 🧍‍♂️ bought 100% LED from SHARP n put SONY Box n Logo on it. So if u hear ppl :” I HAVE 12 yr 13 yr old LED in my basement . 3D made in Japan. 🇯🇵 cost me $5000” --THATS a NONE SONY SONY. Its a SHARP TV. If u see ANYONE had --ELEGANT Glass FLAT lay Tv STAND, n 1 metal crhome /black barrel stem in d middle to support the whole tv. (Samsung, LG, SONY) --THATs SHARP AQUOS Tv . 100% 💯 SONY’s $4000-10000 3D tv never touched SONY manufactory. Cuz they did NOT have 1 . They ONLY produced LCd, NOT LED. They bought Someone else’s product n put their logo on it. Hisense Bought Sharp in 2015 back then. Hisense Visual will be WAY more close to Original SONY premium LED. SONY has NOT been able to produce the same vibrant color like SHARP did ever since. Its ALL Marketing. Their OLED. A95J A90K A80L are very DiM. Welcome to buy it tho. Its just iphone 7 iphone 8 level dim. Spring summer is Coming. Ready for the BIG dark mirror. :) but yes if in total dim room its good. But if with kids, retired parents. Or wife /gf come home early tv on 3pm picking up kids. Then big trouble. 😊

    I wonder what is the brightest 4k mini led tv for 2024 that is available for north america. I'm looking for the brightest 4k mini led tv since I always max out the back light and I always max out the brightness. I don't want oled because I will intentionally cause burn in on the oled displays on purpose. With every oled display that I use already have burn in issues. I'm looking for 1,000 nits minimum for sdr and nothing lower than 1,000 nits for sdr and around 2,000 nits minimum for hdr and maybe around 3,000 nits with hdr if possible. I really want the tcl 5,000 nits 4k mini led tv or the hisense 10,000 nits 4k mini led tv that was shown at ces since they are the brightest mini led 4k tvs of 2024 but they won't be available for the north american markets. There are movies that are mastered with 4,000 nits and I want to be able to experience the full 4,000 nits with hdr with my 4k blu ray player.

    Do the UX 2023 model. That one has EXTREMELY high contrast ratio n , and color volume. It has 400000:1 contrast ratio. The U8K is 165000:1 , Qm8 is 110000:1. I assume the 2024 model wont be too far from 2023. N UX 2023 has the Highest COLOR volume. Most objects are not made by color against black. Its usually the SAME color transition from lighter highilght to deeper tone. The MORE dense of color , the MORE 3D it looks like. N more crisp of image. UX 85” has 4000 nits already . I thought.

Spec sheet isn’t as impressive and it is pricey but if you want a super accurate TV that upscales well, handles motion well etc. no one comes close to Sony. Even on standard led backlit lcds Sony does such a great job that outside of contrast it’s incredible.

    numbers based reviews don't tell the whole story. It really isn't like it is with cars where 0-60, hp and torque tells you all you need to know about how fast they are. I love me some LG and got a 55 g2 in my living room but i've witnessed both a qned and a sony mini led. The sony always wins even though it might have less zones, just because the local dimming algorithm is so good. If the algos efficiencies were quantifiable by a metric, then sony would score a lot higher than their competitors. Also, they have the best DV implementations i've seen on minileds or full array local dimming tvs for that matter and that makes a huge difference in recovering lost detail, minimizing blooming and enhancing color purity when watching an at least decently made grade.
