Ive been i balling the lg qned for the vibrant colors and because it has geforce now capabilities but the sony tv might work better for my ps5. Which do you recommend seeing as how they are both the same price for the 50 inch?

Did a bit of searching on web and decided on the x85k. So happy that i hesitated and first BB had no stock.
    Also thank you for this video. I have both a PS5 and Xbox X. Could not figure out why the new TV said it did not support VRR. When you had the inputs screen up i saw the setting i was missing. So thank you

    I have the X80J, and I've seen the X80K several times. Sony gave up some contrast over last year's TV, but the colors on the X80K are significantly better than the colors on the X80J. As for the X85K vs X80K, those are the results I expected just based on how Sony engineered the J series of both models.
    What I would really like to see would be a comparison at the 85" size. The 85" X80K is 120Hz TV.

      LG G2 by FAR. It’s one of the brightest and most reliable OLED’s because 1. OLED’s are PERFECT for dark rooms because they produce infinite contrast due to self-lit pixels (no big backlight) 2. They added a heat sink to further avoid burn-in rumors and 3. They make their own panels(which are fantastic), unlike Sony.

    5:57 during the gaming test the clouds and sky on the X85K are blown out, almost blended together compared to the X80K, Similar to the dog scene earlier. I wonder if you calibrated both TV's and did the test again what would look better. My guess is the X85K would be more capable but is it worth the upgrade!

    • @barryjones2366
      @barryjones2366 Pƙed 11 měsĂ­ci

      Problem is the test videos he used were very bright demos. And the camera can only be set up to make either the brighter tv or dimmer tv look it's best.....the other will be made to look like it has crushed blacks or washed out and faded or both sometimes. The X80K is not as bright and the cameras exposure was set for this one mainly so it looked more colourful and better balanced on camera here. So basically the odds are that the X85K looks far worse than it actually was if seen stand alone and another thing too is that since there is no local dimming on these brighter tvs , it can't help but raise the blacks in these super bright demos.....but in real content I think this will only effect super bright scenes, watching at night in HDR darker scenes, the VA panels will look better.
      So in real HDR content they should look very similar except for the brightest scenes/highlights where the X85K will go brighter but this in turn will raise your blacks to reach a very high brightness. Which is exactly what you see in this video with the dog demo raising the blacks on the X85K but not on the X80K and the X80K looking clearer and the X85K looking more washed out on camera.... 😄
      So I think in this video the X85K is made to look far worse than it actually is.....just read the comments, where the better looking one on camera (X80K) people mostly assume it's the best one.....😆
      Edit: Whoops wrong video, in this one it's the other way around the brighter tv is in focus on camera so the X80K looks like I said crushed blacks and dim....this is why I think you should use real HDR content so the brightness is about the same, making both look good or you could adjust the brightness down a bit on the brighter tv so you see a difference still but both still look roughly how they actually look in person. Instead of always making one look great and the other much worse......also VA panels should be angled to the centre of the camera as the colours and blacks get effected otherwise.......

      @@TechSteve Yeah I understand it must be difficult. I just don't like the way people seem to assume so much about what they see in these comparisons and get the wrong idea all the time. With a HDR camera and the va panel tvs angled towards the camera too, it would be much more like it actually is in person for sure. 👍But in most comparisons people are watching in SDR.....so I think it would be best to try to get the brightness and angles within the cameras dynamic range by lowering the brightness a bit of the brighter tv maybe? so at least for the scene the blacks/shadow detail, brightness and colours look about right for each.

    Is it just me or does the x85k look so bright to the point it washes out the colour and make the picture look unnatural? The x80k seems like it has more natural colours. Even tho the x80k is 60hz, that doesn't seem to be a factor here. 60 fps max on a game is more than sufficient to have a premium gaming experience, even though I don't have a ps5 or xbox, this won't matter to me anyways. I bought the x80k for watching TV and movies. We'll see how it fairs in my fairly bright living room.
