Someone sent me a whatsapp thing saying I won something. With your profile pic just letting you know. I'm pretty positive it's fake. But Still wish it wasnt
@@brandonrogers3653 definitely fake. My comments are highlighted and have checkmark
Thank you for confirming that for me! But also thank you so much for the video's! They help out so much
and how much the difference in blooming between these two TVs is visible for me, this is important
Hai handsome 🥰😍
I have a 65" X90K and am very happy with it. It's in my mancave and can easily adjust the light in the room so I guess I can benefit on that alone.
I'm a oled man but I have seen these tvs In person and they are amazing tvs incredible comparison Brian.
Thank you, I had bought the K90K and I was left with the doubt regarding the quality of the K95K and I see that I did well, there is no difference in general and yes, in the price
Thanks for your excellent video comparison between these two Sony TVs. I especially appreciate your evaluation of upscaling performance, image processing, and motion handling. These factors are often given too little emphasis in TV reviews, but they make a very significant difference in how well the TV produces a lifelike picture. (By the way, the commercial you created for Harry's was great - and I'm not fibbing when I say that it was one of the first times I was inspired to watch an ad on CZcams all the way through from beginning to end. Harry's should hire you to appear in their TV spots.)
I pay for CZcams Premium to avoid commercials, so any of them are unwelcome!
@@billmulvihill8452 youtube pays peanuts, it’s literally criminally low and should be investigated by congress. Sadly they have to do sponsors to make any real money
I just purchased the purchased the XR-85X90K and I love it. I had the A80J OLED for a little more than a year before and I don't notice any lack of clarity on this new LED set compared to the previous one. Maybe a slightly greyer black in certain scenes of certain movies with this one but overall it's just as clear and brighter. Those people that say LEDs are old and dead are sorely mistaken if you ask me. It really comes down to a matter of preference and what types of content you watch (streaming channels, gaming, blu-ray discs, cable channels, SDR vs. HDR, etc.) If you have the money and can afford an 85" OLED be my guest and get one. More power to you but there is nothing wrong at all with a high quality LED such as the XR85X90K.
Lol, your so right if you have the money then go for it but if you watch what you spend and do your research it'll be money well spent. Most everyone wants one of the best and who doesn't but this price for X95K is a little to steep for
Do you still have the A80J OLED? Would you say the X90K is comparable or is the A80J still noticeably/significantly ahead?
@@druid2538 I had both and went for the X90K. Certain things had better clarity and the tint was better on ice and animal fur, for a few examples. Brighter. No fear of burn in, can watch subtitles all day or news tickers with no fear of burn in. I returned the Oled.
Exactly and ur gonna feel like a clown spending 6-8k when they are half the price in a few years lol
@@Tucker1796 Yeah, definitely plus LED is more picture realistic. I think OLED and QLED look too cartoonish.
Just got the 75 - X90K for about a week now. I love it and totally satisfied with the picture quality.
How about black in dark room have clouding like lcd has
My brother and I bought the Sony 65" X95K for our father. The reasons we decided for the X95K is that its one of the top of the line TVs for 2022 and getting him to upgrade things like TVS is not an easy task, its Mini-LED and not OLED, something my father might find a way to accidently burn in or disconnect the power while its on, something I hear is not a great thing to do with OLEDs. The Sony X95K is good for a bright room, and viewing angles are pretty good and, my father complains about dark scenes so this TV should do better than his old 50" Vizio M501d A2R(Tv we bought him around 2012), and perhaps one of the biggest reasons is that this TV is able to be put in Basic mode! This is a must for a non techy elderly parent who struggles with technology but still has to use technology. I wish someone would do a quick video clip of basic mode.
Either TV is good enough for me because I have both Miniled and non Miniled FALD TV's. Miniled is a touch brighter but with the right settings you can boost the brightness up on the FALD TV's.
I have a x95K best tv I’ve owned hands down
The comparison of reflections should have also compared off axis picture quality because the X95k is likely to have a significant relative improvement. So why does that matter? It matters when sitting positions are off axis or close up.
Glad you mentioned about watching "regular tv" (cable). There are those who buy TV just for this purpose and are not interested in watching 4K HDR demo movies on YT/ Netflix or only watching them occasionally. Most of the time using tv for cable signal. Almost any modern tv will display a good picture in 4k, but not everyone will display a decent picture in SD or HD resolution. Therefore such comparisons are important not only in 4K.
Sony and LG have the best upscaling processing of lower quality content followed by Samsung. The worst is Hisense
👍⭐✅That's exactly what I'm looking for in a review that includes a SD cable or antenna signal test because if it shows excellent quality in the rest of 4k and HDR it will always be better
Demo Videos? All new shows on netflix / Prime etc. are 4K HDR. Who watches still SD seriously lol
Exactly right.
Love this comment. After two weeks of watching and reading tv reviews I’m starting to think “videophiles” exclusively watch 4k demo vids on a loop lmao
I think you're right, Sony will keep updating firmware till they get it as perfect as it can be.
TCLs 65 825 mini led set had horrible local dimming in anything but high and about a year in to my ownership they dropped a major update that pretty much fixed it.
I ended up upgrading to the monster Z9K and I'm loving it. The best HDR performance I have ever seen, ridiculously bright, and fantastic black levels.
Mine got the latest vrr update before they pulled it and I just tried playing a old game through my Shield and Steam and it was super smooth at 4k resolution. Other owners are complaining about how bad games look but their newer sets didn't get the update.
The X95k is 80 percent of the picture quality of the Z9K for a lot less money so if you want Sonys best features without 8k and slightly less maximum brightness it's a excellent choice.
You do pay the Sony tax and for many it's just not worth it.
I do see some blooming in certain situations but it is minor and the overall quality of the picture makes up for it. It looks like 3d and you are there in person when it gets a high bitrate 1080p or higher video and HDR is just something to marvel at on it.
Thank you for the comparison and information. I’m in the 90k camp. I can’t justify the cost difference since my room is dark and I can control the light.
Fantastic comparison, thank you!
Your Reviews and Your TEST!!! Are MUCH Better Than CZcamss Highest Rated TV Reviewer Who Has Like 3 or 4 Million Subscribers! KEEP THIS UP!!!!!
Just bought the x90K. Haven't opened it yet. But x95 does cost a lot more. I'm happy with my purchase
Thank you, Brandon, for another fantastic comparison video!
Man you just blew my mind running Virtual Japan's content as a demo lol 😲VJ going global now 🌏
2:30, the backlit, metal-topped remote comes with the CK series of TVs including the: X90CK, X95CK, A80CK, and A90CK.
The 'C' stands for 'Club' meaning places like Costco and Sam's Club.
Thank you for this and all your videos! I decided on the 75” X90K because at this time it’s about $1400 cheaper than both the A80J ad the X95K. With the amount of TV viewing I do, the additional cost couldn’t be justified. But videos like yours have enabled people like me to make decisions like this with a level of knowledge we’d otherwise not have. Thanks!
How is it with glair?
hows the viewing angles
@@DonnDonn799 Very good. I haven't measured them but I can easily seen the screen at about 60+ degrees. I typically sit pretty much head on so viewing angles haven't been a concern for me.
@@brendonnorris6831 I haven't experienced a problem. I normally have my room at normal to slightly low illumination levels, and even with the adjacent sliding door I haven't had an issue.
I agree. Just got the 75 inch x90k. And no complains. Mini leds and oleds are expensive if getting a 75 or 85.
Bought the 85 inch x90k full array. It has an awesome picture and the samsung sound bar and subwoofer sound outstanding with the 120hz arc
Great review! Quick question what mode or settings did you have the x90k in when looking at the sdr CZcams tv? Thanks
Thanks for your videos.. Recently, my wife got the sunny X 95/55.. it is so real that you can almost be 3-D.. I miss when Sonny used to have XBR models so you can easily follow them.. now with so many variety of models you get confused and so many TVs. But for the money and the quality, the X95 .. you go away, you pay for
Nice upload, can I ask your recommendation, I currently own a Samsung Q9FN, for 4 years now and I am thinking of changing should I wait or is there a worthwhile replacement for my current model thank you.
You can extend the height of the x90k. You just unscrew the brackets and move them up and then install it into tv.
Great comparison dude. Which one do you think handled a bright object on a dark background better?
Thanks for the helpful video!
Wow, super helpful dude, great review as I've been debating on x90k over a mini led due to price point(expensive in Canada lol) and now I know for sure I'm making the right choice for a dark room with a ps5
Thanks man!👍👌
Furlong! I'm a Furlong too cool
its helpful, but I have no idea which one to get, they both seem great!
would really like to see you or fomo do a side by side with the x95k and the A80k. since they are similar size and price.
glad to see this comparison. these are the two i was debating between for 85". I went with the 90k due to cost, $2300 at Costco If the 95k was priced at 3500 or less, I would have tried it.
I have a 65X90K on order that is a Sony warranty replacement for my 65X90CH that I got for under $1000 2 years ago, so I can't complain.
I think the A90J also comes with the backlit remote and is compatible with the A80J as well, among others
Thank u for this video just what i needed to see, originally i want to buy x95k but the price is too much, thinking to buy the x90k, but when u first review u said is only 48 dimming zones? make me think twice to buy it, now u said is 60 ? the way u compare this two tv almost identical in picture quality. but the x95k has a backlight master drive? thank u more power to your channel.
Great review Mr Installer. I like both of these options. I actually have a 13 year old 32 inch Sony Bravia XBR9 that is about 13 years old. Hasn't missed a beat. Doesn't of course have all the bells and whistles of modern day but that classic Sony picture is there. I love it. I watch tv in my living room which has four windows and so it can get bright sometimes but,,,,,, I also have an invention thats many years old. Window shades and shutters :). I like watching in dark rooms :) They are of course instant glare killers and make tv life much easier. I will be watching the black Friday sales. I might get a 55 inch television. I will stick with Sony. Just not sure which model yet. Sports is the priority here. Along with Star Trek . Have an awesome Thanksgiving.
I am looking at purchasing the X90K 75inch. I currently have a Sony 60 inch that’s 12 years old. Still works fine. Just an upgrade.
Amazes me how long Sony's last. Mine is 13 years old. Only a 32 inch Bravia XBR-9. Its never missed a beat.
Thanks for your help , what you do for us consumers . I have a Samsung QLED Q70T do you think either the X90k or the U8K would be a better TV or just keep what I have thank you . Also I'm not a CZcams geek but can't have enough of watching your channel , learning about TV's even though I'm a bubbie
They look similar to me, slight brightness on mini led x95k. I bought 5 months ago 85" qn85a because of my very bright living room full of windows and glass door without curtain,. That rainbow effect bothered me at night so I turn off the light when watching TV or angled the TV to avoid that reflection. Rting best TV for bright room recommended qn85a.
Hey B first thing I'm gonna share this video to my Instagram.. secondly everyone if your looking to go bigger than a 65" I believe the LG G2 oled is the best option 👌🏽.. but if your looking to stay 65" and your looking to go budget tv wise then you should really consider the new Hisense 65" tv! If money isn't a problem then at 65" nothing beats the QD-OLED from sony!! Okay that's all!!!
My X95K has some white banding on left side of tv, but isn’t noticeable unless white snow or blue sky, DSE is hardly there so Sony did better this year but still would have liked a completely free screen
I have the X95K in my living room, we have 2 large windows (36"x60") of the opposite wall from the TV and I have no problem with glare. The X95K can get really bright so I always looks great regardless if it's night or day. I was going for the X90K at first but decided to buy the X95K instead because of the anti-glare and also it looks more premium that the X90K. I'm super happy with my purchase and my family loves this TV. Also look at financing options.
What size? How was it compared to QN90B?
How does it handle Subtitles. I've seen a lot of reviews saying it has insane amounts of blooming for subs. So I'm interested on knowing if it's as bad as they say it is.
@@zTxETERNAL just don’t watch QuantumTV lol
@@zTxETERNAL idk if true, but is it really a problem??
@@mickeyneo4228 90% of the content i consume has subtitles so if indeed the tv has blooming it affects me big time.
Got the x90k and I’m so happy with it. Blooming is there but it’s not very noticeable in the content I’m watching. The Sony OS is so much better than LGs version, very fast and smooth.
Um isn't "the Sony OS" just Google TV?
👍⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ That's exactly what I'm looking for in a review that includes a SD ,cable or antenna signal test because if it shows excellent quality in the rest of 4k and HDR it will always be better
✅ can you compare the Hisense U8H vs Sony x90k with the same tests please
January 2023 and I’m considering the X90K at 85” for $1999.99. But I’m also considering an ultra short throw laser projector tv. I currently have a 65” Sony A9G oled and it’s amazing, but I just want bigger.
XR75X95K was my buy...let's see it pay off...Gaming and Movies...Got it...B
I just bought my x90k yesterday. 55" wall mounted. It's in a pretty naturally well lit area, and I haven't really had any issues with glare. To be honest, the blacks are amazing, I don't know what the hell people are talking about when they say LED TVs can't perform as well as OLED. I saw OLED side by side with my TV and it was almost exactly the same, I found OLED to over saturate the colours to the point where it was unnatural. Very happy with my purchase.
I prefer LED to OLED my lg cx is great but it's pretty hard on the eyes
Satisfied with my 75" x90ck too & i got the back-lit remote with a free 7 year warranty from costco...got it right in time for the extra 2 years of coverage for purchasing with the costco citi card which they have stopped doing now👍🏻
@@Rammer_Jammer thanks for the info that's awesome I'll def be picking this up for tekken 8 glad it's affordable too I usually have paid more for less
@@Rammer_Jammer fantastic deal! How much did you pay for it?
@@mushi_k $1450 that's with the tax included
Top review mate.
I saw those TVs side by side and the X95 has more vibrant and crisper colours but in saying that the price of the X95 75 inch is $5295AUD and the X90 75 inch is $3295 AUD so I know I get maybe 10% brighter and better picture but it's almost double the the price, so bang for your buck I will choose the X90K as the better value for money
Bought the X90ck 75" on sale at Costco. It came with the backlit remote.
You can actually raise the X90K as well. You just have to take the two stands apart and raise it. The two stands have screws you can remove and adjust the stands. I raised my X90K to make room for my soundbar. 👍🏻
how do you like the X90K?
@@michael-4k4000 I really like it man. I didn’t know at the time you have to change the resolution for the hdmi ports to get the 4K UHD but once i did that the detail is amazing man
@@tarpontime7562 oh, not sure why you would have to do that. What size didu get?
@@michael-4k4000 I got the 55. It’s my understanding that only 2 of the hdmi ports come preset for the 4K uhd and the other two come default at 1080 I believe. But it was easy to do in the settings menu.
As someone who has nevered owned less than a 75" GET THE 85" ITS The VERY BEST Money I Have EVER Spent. HOWEVER, I am a huge TV Watcher. Retired, spend too much time watching BUT I HAVE NEVER REGRETTED THE 75 and Sure as Heck not the 85!
Solid advice and a great review. The price difference between these TVs is gargantuan. The X90k could have used a few more dimming zones - Sony is really getting annoyingly stingy with them on entry level TVs. What's next - A TV that comes with 1.37 dimming zones?
A few months ago, the X95J was available and as cheap as the X90K so it was the better choice than either of them😁 The backlight master drive with mini led was a great idea in theory but the execution and pricing have placed at or above OLED territory including QD OLED.
Since watching your video's, I have decided to purchase the Sony X95K (mini LED), even though it's $ 1,000.00 more than the X90K LED here in Canada. I will also go with the Sony HT-A5000 Sound Bar, SW3 Subwoofer, & finally the SARS3S wireless rear speakers, since I live in an apartment.
That is a great setup. I want a reply after 2 weeks of use.. 😄 enjoy.
Thank you for this helpfull compare😊
Great comparison 👍👍
Definitely prefer the anti reflection treatment on the X95K! Have a 65" X95K that I picked up for $2,000. I feel like it's a very fair price for how well this set performs. The color depth is amazing!
The 65 is $1799.99 at your local best buy
U8H has better color, darker blacks and a lot less blooming for $900
@@skolvikings5263 The X90K is $999 not too. Some good deals for potential buyers.
@@skolvikings5263 Sure said the TROLL. Too funny. Even the X90K all day any day wipes the U8H. The U8H may excel slightly in a few minor things, but nothing major and nothing that matters. The X95K is 2 leagues above your TV. LOL
@@skolvikings5263 I saw that the Hisense had problems with pretty grey looking letterbars on top and bottom. Also gaming issues.
Im looking for a TV with VRR, i currently have a Sony Bravia OLED and am annoyed that I just missed the model with HDMI 2.1. Will there be a significant drop in quality going from OLED to Mini LED in your opinion? Or is this something only the trained eye would notice if side by side?
Getting the X90k because the picture is beautiful and the price. I work for a company where I'm lucky to get a djscount... and the 65" is a perfect set for me
We have a X90K in our bright Great Room. It looks great! It’s only the 55 inch.
Can I go x90k or samsung Neo qled which one was better choice i have bit confusion ...
What wasn't talked about was angles viewing. The 95K is said to be much better at minimizing angled image degradation.
Rtings talks about it. Not great for very wide viewing angles
Hey,great video.Well,Sony is calling the new TV's Google TV instead of Android TV.And the operating system is still Android ? If yes what Android systen have 90K and 95 K ?
Nice comparison. Honestly the X90K is close to the X95K and for a fraction of the price I think it's a good buy.
Do you think X95K is between an X90K and Z9J?
Yep. CZcams reviewers ALWAYS want to tell you the most expensive TV is way better. They might as well be Best Buy salesman. Or maybe they are.
I ended up getting the x90k 75”, the price of the x95k just doesn’t make sense.
@@BookClubDisaster They get paid to say that, and they want to continue getting that brand sent to them for the positive review.
@@BookClubDisaster i got the X95k at 85 inches. Expensive is better.
Debating on the G2 and the x95k. Bright room, controllable, but is something I'm keeping in mind.
It just depends if your okay with little blooming and bright tv and better pop out in details then the x95k is the perfect one but the g2 does also give very good blacks just not as bright as the x95k but its up to u what you prefer
The G2 has a very reflective glass screen. Recommend 95k for a bright room..
Excellent comparison...I'm looking at the 85" size for a large living room. I think Sony put too much of a premium on the X95K, it's hard to justify buying it at a DOUBLE the price of the 85" X90K. As of 11/11/22 the 90K is $1999 and the 95K is $3999.
This is my same thoughts. I really was going to go with X95k over the X90k but the price is what has me out on the limb. If it would come down to 2500.00 for the holidays I would definitely go with the X95K. I do have a dark room so I shouldn't have a glaring problem but you don't know for sure. Also if you have table lamps on and how much reflection will I get off them. I had a Sony before and had to shut off lights in the room couldn't stand the reflection.
@@joesoika2628 a 1,500 additional price drop is completely ridiculous. Saying the 95k is only worth $500 more than the 90k is completely laughable. It's at minimum twice the TV if you look at them side by side in person. The x90k literally looks like it has a grey screen filter when compared next to the. 85 X95k.
At very most it could do with a $500 price drop to bring it in line with the 90k. That being said the 85 x95k is easily twice the TV when viewed in person.
For that matter this review really doesn't apply to the 85 and the local dimming zone count is massively upgraded as well as it's a completely different panel all together.
Yeah not a big difference for your eyes but a big difference for your wallet lol.
@@airzoomhuarache yeah. It's only a big difference visually when you look at them. If you don't look at it you can hardly tell the difference
Hi, Great video as always, your thoughts on x90k vs x95j if both are the same price. ?
X95J wins, the X90K doesn't even win vs X90J, but the X95J is not same price as X90K, X95J still more expensive.
Although the measured contrast is lower on the x95k, the black looks much “blacker” or so to say. Perceived contrast is definitely better on the x95k
I am going to get one of these two in the 85" model.
B,the X90K's remote looks better because you're not holding it!😁 Btw, you did a nice job with Harry's - I might give it a try again.
Exactly! B I want a raise!
Great comparison. It’s a shame that the mini-led technology itself doesn’t really bring much performance advantage over their FALD, except for getting brighter. Significantly improved blooming control would/should be expected for the price difference. And what ever happened to Sony’s “Backlight Master Drive” that was being hyped up? It’s been crickets since launch, probably because it’s not bring much to the table. It seems that the advantages of the x95K over the x90K are things that have nothing to do with the mini-led tech: anti reflective coating, better speakers, better build quality, and maybe a cleaner screen more often. At the very least, given the lack of performance boost for the price Sony should give the x95K a better warranty to highlight the build quality. They need to do something to justify the big price difference between these two TVs. Hopefully, as B mentioned, Sony will dial in mini-led advantages (i.e. less blooming) in upcoming models.

Samsung has very good blooming control with their QLED's. Sony's still has backlight master drive...but only in their master series LED panels( Z9K)
No dolby vision support still!? Why IDK.
It's all big wording to get the uninformed to think it's the best, then you pay twice as much for no upgrade from last year.
Thanks for doing this head 2 head!
imho the x95k is the most impressive tv i've seen this year.
A couple of things to note:
-X90K only has wide set legs, but it can either be low profile or soundbar height.
-Number buttons are still available using the "123" button on the remote
-According to Rtings, the X95K has different numbers of dimming zones depending on size.
Soundbar height option is what I was concerned about. Video stated it had only the lower option
@@croozer30ify it would be market suicide to build a large TV without the ability to accommodate a soundbar.
I know a ton of folks wish Sony had more center stand options.
X90K has Soundbar and Narrow Stand
@@danielvidovic9972 No sir, the two positions for the X90K are either soundbar height, or lower to the table. The X95K has those two options as well as a center option.
The only current Sony TVs with a center option are the X95K, the A80K, and the 83" A90J.
So the 75 inch 90k only has the wide stand position? No inner stand position?
So do you have any videos in the works for the list of best tv of the year for gaming?
May be a bit late to comment on this video but I currently have the x900h, would the x90k be much of an upgrade over that? Here in the UK we can get a model called the x94k which has some slight differences like a more premium remote and voice assistant features
I have the X90J and I love it
I bought X95j 65” $1,091 so happy!
Which is best for watching movies in a darkish room? I'm coming from an oled that now has awful burn in and for someone who watches a variety of content I don't see it wise to buy another oled. Any advice?
I am not looking to get another LED TV. I think the Sony A90J 83 inch on a huge discount now. Do you think when you get the A90J in your house, will you notice the difference in brightness that a A95K or G2 has on the A90J. Room is bright during the day but mainly watch TV at night since working during the day and room has no lights on at night. Don’t play games on TV.
Did you mention anything about viewing angles between the two tv's or did I just space out and miss it?
It's all French to me... I'm currently running a Sony 65' Bravia x90e with the 120 hertz refresh rate. No issues running with my Xbox X. Blu-ray movies and games are great but recently noticed color dimming during streaming shows. I don't need a TV but would like a new one in the near future..
It's the X90 for me. Only a Sony because all my other equipment is Sony and I hate having more than 1 or 2 remotes.
Hey man, i'm in the market for a TV and i'd love to know how these compare to the the Samsung S95B? Got any advice? Thanks!
I recently bought the 85” X90CK at Costco, free 2 day delivery, free 5 year Allstate warranty and a custom remote for $2500 ish including tax. I have no complaints, the picture is stunning. No way the mini-led is worth DOUBLE the price. But I’m sure it’s also an excellent tv if you have the money.
Get a price adjustment on the 85" x90ck at Costco. Will be $1999.99 starting October 31.
I picked up the x90k because I was replacing a 5 year old bar model Samsung 4k TV and literally any TV would have been an upgrade. Chose the 90 over the 95 because well, I'm not rich. Lol Thanks for the review
You did not mention the ATSC3 tuners, which is not offered in the Samsung full array non NEO QLED TVs
The opening video is in Shibuya! Love that place.
I am just confusing here about this model table stand Best Buy website says" both got Multi-position stand offers both a standard low-profile setting or a raised setting to accommodate your soundbar" 🤔
The backlit remote is reserved for their Master Series like A90K, A95K, etc.
The back light remote is also available with X90CK from Costco.
Hey bro. Just a suggestion on your editing. I think it would make sense to keep each object you are reviewing to one side only; consistently throughout your video. It’s great that you label which TV is which down the bottom but they were switching sides throughout the video.
Moving to Tampa from the Uk.
Will be buying a 65in.
Thinking S95b, C2, G2 or SonyA95k.
I want the best one to g o
I like android TV UI very fast and up-to-date updates even for 3 years old tv 📺
how is the sound with A95K! any vibration or noise like Samsung TVs?
After my horrible experience with LG's QNED80 (note: never buy LG LED, they only make great OLED), I looked to the Sony line. It came down to these exact models. I ended up buying the 75" X90K. 1898.00 at Costco (Black Friday 100.00 off the current sale price). For double the price ($ 3998.00 for the X95K) I just couldn't justify the difference. Yes the viewing angle is better as well as the reflection handling. But my room generally has no light, the ambient light is out of the screen field and isn't a factor, and my seating area is narrow so the viewing angle effect is minimal at best.
All in all, very happy with it. If I was considering spending the amount of money the X95K commands, I might as well go full OLED and get the A80K.
My thoughts exactly. With what they're asking for in the X95K. You can easily go the OLED route. I'm leaning towards the X90K in the same size you got. Funny thing is I was considering the LG QNED85 as well lol.
@@capnsnaxxэто не факт что OLED( перенасыщения цветов и выгорание ) лучше чем Mini LED , следующие поколение Micro LED возможно может похоронить OLED 😅
Thanks for this comparison. I think it was very well done. Yes, I did purchase one of these sets. I choose the X95K in the 85-inch size. I have had this TV for about 6 weeks now. It has all of the updates and is fully calibrated. It gives off so much light with no fear of "burn in" if we leave it on something by mistake. The light in my movie area goes from medium light to of course dark. I watch a good deal of old as well as new movies, TV on Dish, and sports. Not a real gamer. The TV has been impressive to me as well as to my friends. I did not consider the X90K in the 85-inch size because it just wasn't as impressive in the 85-inch size to me. The TV is much more impressive in the 85-inch size than the 65-inch size. I also think it will be getting updates to this new technology from Sony that will make it even better and the X90K will not. If there is a complaint it would be that I think it is a little overpriced, Around $4999 would be a more fair price to start with. Thank You for all of your hard work.
X95k is double in price. If you have the money go for it but I just got the x90k 75 inch. It's amazing. Honestly I would wait till another 2 years till prices fall for oleds and mini leds
At BestBuy I noticed that TVs can have a distorting mirror effect. (funhouse, carnival mirror effect where the image is squashed or extended only L to R rather than up vs down) As I walked by TVs, the rooms reflections would look great on the right of the TV but as you looked toward the left they warp hugely. This effect can be seen with the TVs on or off. In terms of models.... The LG oleds had it super bad. The Sony A95k has a little that I could live with. The Samsung s95b had none. There were other TVs that had it but since I don't follow them I don't remember their names.
I was purposely looking at picture only (Not name/technology/price) When I discovered that certain TVs were giving me a massive cheap feeling. This was the source of that feeling. Does anyone know what I'm talking about and if it's widespread? None of my or my family's TV have that effect
Ya I noticed on Sony tvs gaming kinda has fishbowl effect with objects in the background when panning around yet my QN85A doesn’t
How's the VRR flicker on these? I've been looking at the LG C2 OLED but that flickering is really bad
I have a 75 inch x95k in my basement, that I like a lot, now I just want to say, I don’t really see the need or the interest in buying an oled, which can have issues after using one for a few months with the possibility of burn in, and other things like that.so for now I am perfectly fine with my current big tv, for a movie/video game room, I have in my basement.
Went back to SONY after nearly 2 decades of Samsungs & LG’s. Now that they’re more mainstream priced, but I went with X90 since I’m upsizing to 75” ($1500) and X95 is exactly DOUBLE the price!!! That’s a total “no-brainer”! Not gonna pay the Sony sucker tax for very incremental (not groundbreaking) improvement.
Hi @B The Installer,
I just purchased the new one 85" X90k after watching your review. In your opinion, what do you think are the best picture settings for this TV I purchased? Can you provide the following items settings please? I Mainly watch TV using an Nvidia shield TV Pro.
Hi @ B The Installer,
I was not able to get in touch with you as I do not have a Twitter account. I only use CZcams. At your earliest convenience, can you share what you consider to be the best picture settings for the Sony X90k please? Thanks in advance for your help!
Cross Shopping the X90K 85 inch vs the Samsung Q90B. $2,000 vs $2,800 at Costco. Anyone know if the Samsung's aniti-reflective properties are significantly better than the Sony's? How about the Sound out of the speakers? Thanks..
Trying to decide between Sony 55” A80J OLED vs 65” X90K. Both are same price. Going in a bedroom. I really like the blacks on the OLED when they were side by side in the store, but wonder if I’ll really know the difference when they are not side by side.
Your recommendation would be greatly appreciated.
Thank you!
Best Buy has the X90k 65" on sale for $999
I've got a laser projector for my home theater, so I really don't need the extra bits of performance for my living room TV since it would only be used for watching cable and kids playing Nintendi Switch. So the 85" X90K is just perfect!
From what distance do you watch TV? Not too big?
@@user-or4cn9nh9n About 12~13ft from the TV, it wasn't too bad.
