The A95L is still the far superior TV imo. The B9 is the pinnacle of an LCD LED television, but you cannot beat the sheer detail of OLED
They are both stunning displays! Pick the one that works for your budget and your viewing area. You cannot go wrong with either.
WHAT?! I missed the premier 😭
BOMO sad! 😢
Finally, some one uses GT7 for HDR demonstratoin to show the true potential of miniLED that OLED can never touch
Shout out to Sony for pushing LCD technology to its limits in terms of accurate image reproduction. I would probably go for an oled to eventually replace my xh95 considering viewing angles, but it's always good to have options.
Believe it or not…But I’m upgrading from a Sony 46 XBR 6 to the Bravia 9 75 from BestBuy coming on 7/9 my XBR 6 just won’t die but I just couldn’t wait any longer to get a new tv.
Fantastic video per usual man! Im liking the different camera angle at the beginning. As weird as it may seem, its like you invited us to sit down and enjoy. 😁 Can't wait to see the 85 inch vs the 77inch
I'm glad you enjoyed, brother! I like to use different angles to showcase the displays and build up the hype vs. just the bland two tv's sitting there. It's all about finding your signature as a creator.
@@BRIANSTECHTHERAPY this was a great call on your part. Having that couch in the back also added more depth and focus on you. It felt a bit more intimate at the beginning, which was helpful. Did you get a new camera or lens? The video felt really well exposed for the most part this video
I saw these two at Best Buy and I really wished I could’ve played around with the settings. Can’t wait to see the comparison! Specially around the colors
Go back in and ask. We don’t mind. Sony TVs reset themselves back to demo settings when in store mode.
Both look gorgeous, and if price was no object I'd still pick the A95L. For now, I'm really happy with my A80L, and I have you to thank for that Brian. It was your review of yours that pushed me to buy it. Much appreciated my friend!
They look pretty much identical most of the time but the Bravia 9 is a little brighter. If the brightness was brought down a little on the Bravia 9 I believe they would look identical all the time. Sony did an amazing job on the Bravia 9!!
Recently viewed the 85" Bravia 9 at a local Best Buy and right next to it was the Bravia 8 & A95L...In "my opinion " the B9 outshone both of them in every conceiveble aspect though it wasn't by leaps and bounds.. The improved brightness in HDR specular highlights along with oled- like blacks and spectacular color saturation AND great details in the dark shadowy scenes puts the B9 ahead of the rest of the field...We are not gamers, 98% 4k movie lovers 💞 in a controlled dark lower level... 👏🏽💥
Perfectly said! Thank you for watching
Where are you getting the statistics that 98% are movie lovers not gamers? I am genuinely curious.

Great content as usual!
Thank you so much, my friend!
I am willing to forgo perfect black letter boxes and crushed blacks in exchange for brighter brights! It’s a personal preference. I chose impactful HDR over perfect OLED contrast! Always have and always will! Shadow details are lost in OLEDS.
Not necessarily true most flagship oleds and the G4 from what I’ve seen actually had amazing shadow detail without crushing
If you can go 85 the letterbox bars are jet black and never change almost as if those parts of the tv are turned off. 75 very close 65 too I just haven’t seen that one. But I agree 100%

As always, a fantastic comparison my brother! Keep up the great work and stay safe my friend! Greetings from Poland. :))
Tomek!!! Always great to hear from you my friend
7 months ago you did a video titled "SONY A95L VS SONY X95L QD-OLED VS MINILED KINGS!". Most of the comments were in favor of the X95L 85" over the A95L 77". It would be nice to see the B9 85" next to the X95L 85" and your analysis. Thank you for your wonderful content. Much appreciated.
Thank you for your comment, my friend. Unfortunately, the X95L is impossible to get at this time . You'll see the 85" Bravia 9 vs. the 77" A95L soon. The Bravia 9 is noticeably better than the X95L at 85"
I have the 85inch X95L and its damn good and the best tv i ever had! In the next days i get my B9 85inch. I got an offer for just 3100€ so i coudnt resist. I will make a video for comparison here on youtube:)
@@91DivineAngel Holy Jesus, where did you get that offer?
@@El_Capitan_215 it from a german Retailer
@@91DivineAngel und von welchem? Macht er dieses Angebot nochmal oder war das exklusiv? :-) Bin für Tipps sehr dankbar!
Shucks I missed it! Great video as usual!
All good, my friend! I am so grateful to have you here!
I received my 85 inch bravia 9 on Monday and I have to say that I love the picture quality.
I can't compare it with an a95L (because I have not seen that one), but I upgraded from LG Oled. (Not MLA)
I am really happy with the shadow details and also with the specular highlights. You can see an eye blinding sun in the left corner and see shadow dark detail on the right.
I paid 3900 euro's after cashback and I think this is a great option for a lot of people.
Awesome!! So glad you are loving it and thank you so much for watching
Do you notice any blooming on the 85” compared to OLED?
@@rayenwoomed5323 Yes I do. However, only on max brightness in a dark environment with white letters on a black background. It is more noticeable when you are a bit off angle.
I sit in front of this tv on around 3m so I don't really have off angle views when I am watching something. Only when I walk away. And it doesn't really bother me, because it is so minimal. When I have a bit of light in the room, I cant see it anymore and there are black scènes with a white moon where I see nothing.
I am just blown away by the colours and the total picture quality. Rocket League is also popping on this television.
Looking at this on a 12" tablet and a very tight comparison. Thank you!
My pleasure! Thank you so much for watching
They’re so close in most scenes. Trade blows. I love the small specular highlights of the A95L and the shadow detail of the B9. Ultimately I will probably go with the 85” over the 77” for the immersion. Thank you Brian for the excellent video!
Top notch intro Brian!📺 👏
I'm so glad you enjoyed it!
Thanks again very helpful. I can’t decide what I’m gonna buy. I’m getting close thanks.
Thanks Brian, excellent video as always. Question for you: Which type of high end TV would be best for watching NHL hockey games? A95L, Bravia 9, or LG G4? Or something else?
I bought the A95L 77" as soon as it came out and love the TV. Based on this comparison I think I would have been just as happy with the Bravia 9 if it were available. The images were so close, if someone would have asked me to recommend a TV I would have to ask them at what angle does their family watch the TV and how bright is the room they watch in. However, I'm glad I saw this comparison because I now don't have any FOMO. What I do have is an impression that today's TV's border on the magical. Thanks for the comparison.
I'm so glad you have the A95L my friend! It's excellent! Enjoy every minute of it! Thank you for watching
Folks;
Keep in mind you're watching a CZcams video comparing two panels side by side.. that was recorded. HUGE difference if you go in person to a BestBuy and look at them side by side. Huge huge huge difference
That goes for every comparison of every technology ever my friend
Which one did you like better then?
Exactly. And I saw the 65” B9 in person, in store, and my coworker bought the 75” B9 and we watched a couple of 4K UHD Blu-ray movies next to his A95L, which I also own. Both his sets were calibrated, and you can actually see a much bigger difference showing the A95L has the overall better advantage in picture quality.
I still want the B9, but I’m waiting for Sony to release the 55”, so I can use it as my gaming monitor…
@@BRIANSTECHTHERAPY well absolutely it’s just an important reminder for folks who make buying decisions solely based on content like this
@@AnthonySimpson-kl1nt A95L. It’s a notable difference IRL by a long shot
A95L looks far superior in every scene
It was very different in person. These cameras can't capture the full dynamic range of our eye. The Bravia 9 is overexposed in alot of these shots
On camera sure real life it’s a different beast especially at 85inches
@@SpencersStuffTV saw it in person, but B9 is great for being a Mini-LED TV but just cant produce QD-OLED’s color and contrast.
@@ElGrueso I commend you for going out and looking yourself! I'm okay giving up some of that contrast and color for the brightness personally.
@@SpencersStuffTV Ya I have seen it in person to compare with LG G4 and A95L. B9 is a great Tv for sure but it just doesn’t have that 3D color pop with the infinite contrast ratio. Very bright but G4 and A95L are so bright that I rather have superior contrast and color detail over just bright TV in my opinion. Especially for gaming I need that instant pixel response time and no ghosting. Ghosting, smearing and the slow response time just kills it for me. Not Sony’s fault since that LCD’s limit. Beside the viewing angle is another deal breaker for me.
Wow I can't believe how close the Bravia 9 has come to an oled, even at 65in! Can't wait to see the 85in comparison, do you have any plans to put the Bravia 9 85 and the G4 83 side by side? I am torn between the two, here in the UK the G4 is £1k more and am wondering if its worth it?
Yes the 83G4 vs 85" Bravia 9 will be next week
mini led natural colors
Why do people who follow Brian or Fomo continue to buy from Best Buy when they endorse, over and over again, Value Electronics, for a damn good reason?
If you're going to spend thousands on a high-end TV, spend the extra 600 bucks on Value"s QC, break-in and calibration service and get a TOP NOTCH tv, no tax and delivery right to your door?
10 years of buying and they have never let me down.
If
Great comparison! The A95L has the edge with contrast, and if I lived in a cave with no windows only watching films, then I'd be tempted with an OLED, but the B9 did have the same quality and even better on some content you showed, so the gap is bridging and most would likely prefer a more versatile TV like the B9. Would love to see the X95L v the B9 please...
I think we have more fun comparing and assessing TVs than we do watching them. 😅📺
lol I watch these videos on my A95L so I guess you could say I’m doing both. In all honesty I’m happy to see the 95L still holds its own with the 2024 models. I think at 65 inches it’s a no brainer. Now the price point at 77 it gets interesting. S95D and G4 at 77 have already dropped. Now the Bravia 9 at 85 I saw at BestBuy. I know it was in Vivid but it looked amazing. I think at 85 size that would have to be an option.
🤣🤣so true!!
@@BRIANSTECHTHERAPYBrian which video is that which is shown on the TV. Cheers Matt
I don’t see what the argument is both look great
Prefer the Bravia 9. Although the A95Ls contrast exceeeds the Bravia, the visible detail is better on the Bravia and I know I won't have to worry about ABL. That brightness adds to the uuhhhh and ahhhh and overal sharpness of the tv. I would buy the Bravia 9 if they made a 55.
Doesn't the A95L have the double heat sink which more or less eliminates ABL?
It doesn't eliminate it just prolongs the onset of ABL. If you watch sports or news channels alot the Bravia9 may be the way to go just depends on how you use your set @@SagaciousFrank
@@casob307, yes you're probably right. However, I don't personally watch news channels nor much sports, either. But even if I did, who'd care much if it does dim on those? The only problem I'd have is with it dimming during movies, TV shows, and gaming.
All that being said, I'm tempted to get the Bravia 9 as it's cheaper for the same panel size as the A95L and still looks awesome, in some ways superior to the Sony OLED.
Thank you Brian your amazing. The Bravia 9 has more realistic color hues I saw/ The water scene on the beach was correct and the 95L water too blue and not aquamarine. They both looked so close on so many scenes I had to pause the video to make sure. The shadowed areas of everything had better detail in the Bravia 9
Excellent anylsis, my friend! I'm so glad you enjoyed!
While LED based TVs like the Legendary Z9D and the B9 do not have perfect contrast that OLEDS deliver, the Z9D and B9 with their searing brights against superb back light dimming blacks deliver jaw dropping scenes that OLEDS can’t match!
Hi mate, could you do Bravia 9 vs x95L? That would be a great comparison
I agree the A95L , that contrast looks significantly better , self emissive all day for me .
Nope, Bravia 9 looks way better
@electronbashful540 Not to. me I have seen bravia 9 in person G4 , s95d , and A95L al were way better, at m wave Brian and fomo pick there best image in there tv comparison they had, not one of them.pick the bravia 9 . Brian pick the G4 and fomo pick the S95D.
Only in some scenes does the A95L contrast look better. In most scenes I am actually tired of how OLED looks artificial and not realistic.
Why can't people see that what they see in real life looks NOTHING like OLED. Life isn't pure black and extreme contrast. It's just not realistic.
From the 3-4 A95L vs Bravia 9 videos I’ve seen I think I’m ready to jump back to a LED tv. Still waiting for a B9 vs G4 video heavyweight showdown
Make sure you sit right infront of it
@@cogthusiast1150 and watch content with night scenes. Areas that are supposed to be at or near black but also with small areas of bright light like street lamps or stars…the limitations of LED or Mini LED are still glaringly obvious. As for the much discussed aspect of Sony OLEDs and how they come out of and go into black (gamma), just get the dang thing calibrated to improve upon that aspect of performance and then it’s about as perfect as it gets. Calibration can’t fix what LED based TVs simply cannot do.
Nice one Brian!
Thank you Jay!
Great I just bought the Bravia nine for my daughters and her family only 65 inch because they sit 5 foot from it. Looking forward to see the comparison great videos.
@@John-DiV she will be very happy my friend
I have seen side by side the B9 A95L and Bravia 8. It comes down to taste. Bravia 9 can't match the contrast of an OLED or QD OLED. Is brighter though. The Bravia 8 is the one that I'm very impressed. I think is the underdog TV of 2024. No one is talking about it or at least as much as the B9 and G4. Very impressed with the Bravia 8 personally. Also the Bravia 9 at 85 inches needs to be 8K. You're loosing some of the resolution. Great video Brian! Enjoy your vacation!
Im with you. I was with the Sony guy in this video yesterday at the BB on 5th ave and although the Bravia 9 looks incredible, I thought both the B8 and A95l were the better tvs. But what do I know.
@@eman1549 You know a lot. I prefer OLED. I'm getting the Bravia 8.
Have seen all 3 I would say the bravia 8 is probably the best bet for most people it is very close to the A95L other than raw color volume. I felt like regardless of settings the B9 lacks the depth and contrast of the 2 oleds, they simply look more realistic.
@@jennifergala The A95L is noticeably brighter and has better colour saturation than the B8. The B8 is a step up from the A80L though.
I just would like a review of the Bravia 9 in 75.
Which has best picture quality a80L or X95L? I have read a lot and cannot decide. There is no TV store close to me
Spectacular displays!
Both look absolutely stunning. Basically comes down to if you watch in a bright room go with the B9 or in a dark/light controlled room go with the A95L.
As a sports fan though and hockey in particular I think I may go with the 75” B9 for its purer whites. The only thing holding me back is that it will be in a basement. Tough decision!
Even on compressed CZcams, super obvious that the A95L is wildly better. The more you look, the more you wonder how anyone could view the Bravia 9 as better.
Even though I have no interest in either tv that was an excellent presentation my brother and an excellent video.
Bravia 9 ❤️🔥👍🏻
What’s up Brian! See what you got started!!😂
So glad you did this. great comparison. that A95L is so good. The Bravia 9 is a good tv, but the A95L is just better, to me, in nearly every scene.
I'm glad you enjoyed and thank you for watching
Brian, appreciate the comparison. Did you notice any blooming for the 9 and if so, where?
My pleasure! The blooming you will see is mostly off angle. If you see it in menus especially in other videos please keep in mind that the local dimming disables when content is no longer playing.
I’d be curious to see how these two stack up when displaying sports in SDR.
I just don’t get why people are so obsessed with TV brightness. The A95L and even the Samsung S90C are both already very bright TVs
OLED is overrated. Look at that brightness, shadow detail and no burn in on the B9.
Definitely not. OLED is still an amazing technology that is largely responsible for the competitive advances in mini and micro LED developments from less expensive brands like TCL and Hisense, both of which still have bugs and shortcomings of their own that come with the lower price tag. Is OLED too expensive? Only if you can't afford it, and that's the truth.
What I saw for the Bravia 9 in the video several times was a bright object like a tulip which was bright and focused in the foreground, plus another object like a dimmer unfocused tulip in the background separated with black in between. That dimmer unfocused object either was barely visible or not visible at all in the A95L. That is evidence that the lack of luminance or chrominance at lower light levels in the OLED. I don’t feel these OLEDs can represent these dark video choices including shadow detail as well as the Bravia 9. The real advantage of 4000 nits will happen when 4000 nits mastered content starts to be standard.
both are great
A95L makes the picture pop better in my opinion. That infinite contrast can’t be overlooked.
Is it just me or do they look pretty much identical?
Bravia 9 black levels look great!
What I noticed is the B9 had better whites and was brighter in some scenes to a fault. Yellows on the B9 are blown out in comparison to the 95L. The scene with waterfall the B9 had white water with little detail of the rocks. The 95L had much greater detail of the rocks. Toss up of personal preference. Many could drop down to the lesser TVs in that range and not be so highfalutin.
I saw both at Best Buy as well!
They are both great - personally - I like the B9 better because of HDR Impact and SDR with sports etc.
WOW I have an old LG B7 OLED from 2018. It has tons of burn in and I've been shopping for weeks. I have found my new purchase Bravia 9 here I come!
It's very interesting how most of the shots can appear identical, or at least very close, while a few show a very different white balance. For the most part, the A95L looks like it has richer color, but the Bravia 9 handles bright and dark detail better. And of course, they are both excellent, so I don't think you could go wrong with either one.
I went back to BB again today. The Brav 9 and 95L are so close to each other. I get the color volume is an advantage on A95L. I even left the store thinking I shold get the A95L, but the Bravia 9 is 99% of the A95L but I can get an 85" B9 for the price off a 77" 95L or a 77" B9 for the price of a 65" A95L..... That alone has me questioning my (non) decision..... I literally can't decide. Is the A95L $1500 better than the B9? I want bigger than 65"
Samsung 95D and G4 are not the one.
The Bravia 9 has slightly better contrast and saturation. If the saturation can be increased slightly, the difference is negligible, with only contrast being the marginal difference. The detail the A95L appears to provide isn't, at least based on this CZcams video, true detail at all. It is slightly better contrast and sharpening which give the impression of detail. In short, you are getting roughly 98% of what the A95L offers with the Bravia 9, at a much lower price.
For us this year, it comes down to who has a great picture with a great smart interface and play well with everything we hook up to it and comes in an 83-85inch size. Everything else is little importance.
Thanks Brian
My pleasure Craig! Thank you as always
Does the B9 have clouding in dark scenes?
Ok, now. Can we have a Bravia 9 and Z9K comparison please 🙏?
Should I use the light sensor even when I'm on the accurate custom/professional mode? Or is it only for the less accurate standard/vivid modes?
It works well in that preset as well. However, the effects will be more subtle
@@BRIANSTECHTHERAPY thanks!
Hit the like for Brian everyone !!
Thank you, my friend!
Thank you Brian! I still like the A95 best. I got to see an A95 next to a G4 and despite being an LG CX owner, I preferred the Sony! The Sony ‘felt’ less in my face with the brightness and came across more natural to me.
I want to love the miniled and am amazed by the lifted shadow details, but still not quite OLED baby. 😅
I’m most curious what Sony could do with a 4th gen QDOLED and possible tweaks to XRCLEAR chip. The miniled may have given Sony ideas on how to push the QDOLED boundaries. Who knows but I’m excited!!
I’m an OLED convert ever since my A80J. It’ll be amazing to see how the 9s tech trickles down in future
Amazing tv man I have an A80J my myself and have since replace it with the A95L and LG G3
I like that the Bravia 9 has more shadow detail.
Please do a Bravia 9 and Z9K comparison 🙏
I’d like to see the Bravia9 with its Gamma at -1 or -2 to see how much closer it gets to the A95L.
I always find the comments in these videos entertaining . People claiming absolutes. Really just get the TV that suits your watching, your preferences. Just know next year and year after it will be beaten again and again, So worrying which is best now FOR EVERYONE is stupid . Sony will go after the 4000Nits in 2025. Most audio people have moved on from silly arguments and just listen to the music. Audio is a much bigger minefield and there is no perfect solution . My take a S95D , a G4 , a B9 , a A95L are all excellent , the average consumer would enjoy all and not stress some other TV is better, or need to defend it with their lives - Like these Corporations care about you , given the way Sony , and Samsung especially have sought to screw you over in the last decades . Rootkits. taking back media , removing features, whiteware that catches on fire etc
Getting bored of these tv comparisons
I enjoy these comparisons. After months of comparisons, I found the S95D is the best TV for my use case.
I will never tell someone their preferences or eyes are wrong. We all see art differently.
@@ehenningsen There's no one metric either. On AVforums the S95D buyers seem very happy , which is a plus for us hesitant on Samsung , really hope the up there processing and bring an 83" model next year , may still get a G5, but who knows . Think they are working on their own MLA solution as well ( that wouldn't come to an 83" first year ) . Really hard to by a bad OLED or miniLED TV
I just bought the A95L for 3k, waiting for Monday to arrive. Coming from LG C1
Hello Brian. A95l looks superior and so cinematic over B9
Qd-oled 😍👌
I thought A95L contrast looks better in many scenes. B9 is definitely brighter. Although the B9 black level is astonishing for a mini led, QD-oled is still unbeatable. On the A95L, the details in the night sky at 6:40 looks better than the B9. The stars are more striking.
Hi brian, how much is the difference un contrast between the 2.
The contrast on the QD-OLED is a great deal better
thanks Brian to tell the truth Sony A95l excel in image quality, upscaling when watching over-the-air broadcast and streaming low bit rate content, where Samsung S90C pales away extra money worth it , Samsung s90c few second good images then not that clear images annoying to watch when watching over the air broadcast and streaming low bit rate content, Also Sony has a separate tv button in remote, samsung mix atsc 3.0 tuner with atsc 1.0 and Samsung free tv program difficult to navigate remote. Sony A95l is my choice of TV, and it is worth the money. Twice the cost of Sony worth my time when watching clear images, even 240p content Sony a95l 77" I can watch as upscaled.
Please Brian, do A95L vs G4…. So many are waiting for that video. Thanks
I will Patrick! Thank you for watching!
I’m an Oled fan for past 10 years - since first 1080p LG Oled till today - would not touch LED. But one thing this comparison made me aware of, thanks to Brian for putting it together, APL makes a depth perception difference. We all say oled has depth thanks to better contrast - but the same applies with higher picture brightness - and I’m not talking about 1500 vs 2900 difference but much higher average picture level. In many scenes you can see B9 universally brighter that translates into better depth, better 3D effect. Yes oled does it better when small dark areas are present, but likewise B9 does better when APL is higher what oled can do and those black areas are not present. Trading blows literally. Now awaiting 77” vs 85” comparison which will be very very interesting.
I’m aware from that distance we can’t really see aforementioned OLEDs depth hence picture looks more similar than it probably is - as well as b9 brightness clipping in few scenes - taking away depth as well. In person viewing is a must.
TLDR: I think B9 higher APL is much more important feature than its high peak brightness
If you pause the vid at the 7:54 you can clearly see how the oled has more 3d depth thanks to its superior contrast
The depth of image and contrast of oled can't be beaten. The ability to individual control each pixel allows elements to actually glow which except for bright daytime viewing is more important than overall brightness imo
Two end of tv👑👑
The A95L is obviously amazing. But the Bravia 9 feels more natural and true to life in images. Yes the A95L has contrast. But that contrast like any OLED seems manufactured and not true to life.
It's like taking a normal picture and then running it through Photoshop and press "enhance" on it.
I have the 85" Bravia 9. What a TV. For a miniLED it's a revelation. The A95L does obviously have better color. Because it's QDOLED. But that doesn't mean the Bravia 9 doesn't have it, it does.
The brightness in HDR is awesome. Gaming is awesome too. Playing Horizon forbidden West. Looks so good.
What? I know you have to try to convince yourself but there’s no comparison between ANY lcd and an oled. Nothing to discuss here, it’s obvious and measurable.
Yeah, have a a95l and it’s not night and day better then an LG C2. My wife can’t tell them apart. Would love to try a Bravia 9
Do a video comparing Sony Bravia 9, Sony A95L and the LG G4
I'll get right on it!
Wow the A95L spanks Bravia 9, what a step back for Sony
Good video. Had Sony only made the Bravia 9 in mini led at 100 inches. I went with 100” Hisense U8K!
As long as there are questions concerning off angle viewing, blooming, and lower contrast ratio and they are evident on a display, OLED will continue to be the better format for me. Brighter in specular highlights, while good, is only a plus in less minimal situations. You have to hunt for those, they aren’t the norm. Eventually LED/LCD may equal OLED in all aspects, but not yet. Close but ……
I’m only interested in TVs that are 83”/85” or larger for my main H/T room so the Bravia 9 is the default winner for me. If I can wait until next year then fingers crossed there is a new 83” QD-OLED announced
We can only hope my friend! Thank you for watching
I had the pleasure of meeting one of the Sony guy's in this video yesterday. I thought the Bravia 8 and the A95l's contrast still make the oled the better tv. He begs to differ🙂
Agreed. I saw the Bravia9 and bravia 8 at Best Buy; 8 on top and 9 on bottom. It most certainly is the best lcd ever but, the 8 looked better; better contrast, viewing angles and black levels. The 8 doesn’t even have MLA or a QD-OLED panel.
@@undone14there is really no way you saw better blacks at Best Buy.😂 The human eye cannot do that. Folks can barely tell the Bravia 9 is worse in the dark straight on.
@@techsamurai11anyone with working eyes can tell. I own multiple OLEDs. I could tell the difference. My gf that isn’t tech savvy at all could tell the difference
@@techsamurai11 yes you can see it. I saw them today. OLED, ALL OLED's have better blacks than the Bravia 9.
If you can't see the difference, you can grab a hisense U6 and save a ton of money.
Nice comparison. The A95L seems to have a pinkish cast to it, but it showed stars much better than the Bravia 9.
Next MWave mount the TVs and stack them in 2 rows. This way bad viewing angles are minimized across the room.
Brian when you go to value electronics for B9 85 inch, please include the z9k 85-inch beast, thanks!!
I will if it's still there my friend
@@BRIANSTECHTHERAPY thanks, this is my kind of therapy ❤️
@SevenLionz awesome! I'm so glad you are enjoying my friend
Obviously this will look different in person, but 95L looks better in these shots, real shame as I’d love 85”. Look forward to comparison 77a95l vs 85 b9. Think need to see side by side in person
I was really close to pulling the trigger on the 85" B9, but I just went on vaca to Gatlinburg and my lodge has a theatre room with a projector. I wasnt a projector believer as I always viewed myself as a snob of picture quality, but I think I know why projector users say there is no replacement for size. It must be like 200" and given its only a $2500 Epson projector, what u give up in picture quality, you can justify with size. Holy cow! Imagine what a more premium porjector will do for arnd $5K, like the Epson LS12000.
I completely understand my friend! Immersion is king! Epson is also on the rize
The "true" white and shadow details and 85" size of B9 are the compelling selling points for me. It will also cost significantly less than A95L which is out of stock it seems here in Aus anyways. Easy choice for me.
Watching this on my A95L
Awesome TV, my friend
Definitely 2 heavyweights😊😊
