For what he does, he is undeniably the best. Don't know how he gets away with copyright materials when showing GOT and other contents, when he shows them.
@@RobertK1993 I understand viewpoints change but its obvious he has issues. He is a narcissist and its clear. Fragile ego, paints himself as the ONLY reviewer without bias.
Another excellent HDTVTest review! Love your presentation style and very accurate and detailed review that perfectly matches our findings for Sony's new 2021 A90J Master Series OLED TVs.
@@PSYCHOV3N0M please don't talk about Quantum in this channel. He's a joke and nobody should listen to a word he says. I still think Caleb Denison and Digital Trends is respectable. He puts out a fast track review and gives you a basic overall look at what to expect. While we wait for Vincent's in depth review. I look at Caleb as the LG and Vincent as the Sony. LG gets you halfway there while Sony gets all of the details. Quantum is a cheap Chinese brand like Hisense, etc.
@@reyoktayhan Panasonic OLED TVs are better than LG OLED TVs it's sane they are as popular as a brand as Sony it's seems to me Sony being youngest of Japanese electronics companies is now the strongest.
@@RobertK1993 Panasonic is the only tv that usually beats Sony at its own game. Colors ,motion and upconversion cause their hcx processor is no joke. To bad their tvs are small....
Hey Vincent. Love your content, I’ve learned a lot! How do you think the 2021 Panasonic OLEDs, especially JZ2000 and JZ1500, will compare to the A90J? Hopefully we’ll get to see them in your hands soon!!
Panasonic have had the best overall picture quality of any consumer OLED television for the last few years. I personally think the Panasonic JZ2000 and JZ1500 will have slightly better picture overall picture quality than the Sony A90J.
Sony Oleds mounting X1 Ultimate already had way greater definition and better color gradation than any of Panasonic's Oleds. XR processor makes for an even bigger difference.
We don’t know that since Panasonic’s 2021-OLEDs aren’t out yet. We know little to nothing about them outside of what Panasonic has told us in their blurbs.
@@playafly131 why not? you do realize A90J way more expensive with fewer features, especially for gamers. I would personally prefer C1 or G1 over A90J anyday.
@@vlippo78 Your comment makes even less sense lol. The fact you even ask it renders answering your idiotic question a waste of time for anyone. Next time THINK man
Great video! Vincent you are the GOAT when it comes to TVs. It seems Sony really knocked it out of the park with the XR chip the A90J looks special I have the A80J I shared a lot of these similar feelings with the XR chip it was so impressive in upscaling content, and it seemed to add depth to everything I threw at it. Also thank you for clearing up the HGiG question with tone mapping set to off so helpful. You are a huge inspiration thank you for all that you do keep up the amazing content!
Great review, I ordered the 55 inch A90J, but called the next day to change it to the 65, I knew I would have regretted not ordering the bigger one after. My present TV is a 46 inch Toshiba led that's 12 years old.
Really looking forward to when you get the Panasonic JZ2000/1500 in for review and hopefully a comparison. Panasonic doesn't really get the recognition it deserves from the general public (because when you Google TV reviews, most of the results are from US sites that don't cover Panasonic). For me, Panasonic vs Sony is "the big one" for this year.
Vincent, your closing statement that maybe the new processor deviates from the original intent was something that crossed my mind. To me though, the possible over enhancement of this processor is a plus especially when you consider how lacking other processors are in this area.
It is, but it is a HUGE philosophical deviation for Sony. They spent a decade, maybe more, actually, promising people the MOST accurate cinema experience.
Vincent, I'd like to see a list of "suggested" setting for all of these Sony models that you review. You go through all the settings anyway, can't be too difficult to list them here too. Thanks.
Yes, this would be very helpful!! There seems to be a lot you can adjust, so being able to have a starting point would be a huge time saver for people unfamiliar with what it's technically changing. Thanks Vincent!
I was hoping this video would convince me to get the A80J rather than the A90J to save some money. It did the opposite. I'll still wait for the A80J review for the sake of my...wallet.
Amazing review. Lots of good tips also to make me understand and handle my a90j better. Going to be watching this again a couple of times to see if I missed something. Thanks!!
@@feraerfqrs Where I live (Austria) I could get a gigabit connection for 100€ per month which is ridiculous as well. And it wouldn't even be symmetrical just 50Mbit up...
There is actually a guy imitating Vincent on his latest upload. But he is making fun of him so I won't give him any publicity. There is only ONE VINCENT🙂 Thanks a lot for the review.
Great review Vincent!! 👏👏 Why didn't you compare the A90j with the G1 that is more premium then the C1? Compare the A90J vs G1 and A80J vs C1 later!! Please
@@cmpmeridian1 And this is your thesis or did you actually see it? I happened to see the 65 A80J and A90J side by side in my store and honestly the stuff they showed (Greatest Showman 4k HDR Blu Ray via the Sony Flagship player) did look identical on both. Granted the lighting in the shop was no optimal and it was only a single disc (that I watched in the middle for like 15-20min). So IMHO a test would be great. Especially since the A80J is the only model you can get in 77'' with the 83'' A90J substantially more expensive.
Mr Vincent you good man - I would like to thank Crompton and Moore for there support of Mr Vincent over the years there co operation is outstanding . 😁 👍✔🍻
Thank you for a very in-depth review. I am interested to see if possibly the use of the latest LG oled panel paired with the heat sink really will help with the longevity of the panel regarding screen burn-in. I am looking forward to the A80J comparison.
@@GoldRaion Well, there is the new Cognitive Processor XR. I wonder how well that works on the X90J’s full local dimming. I also wonder if they’ve fixed the 4K 120Hz blurriness issue.
@@GoldRaion crushed blacks. I have been on both sides of the coin. OLED perfect blacks introduces detail crushing. That means the Samsung is also doing the same to achieve better blacks. Sony's algorithm is to keep fidelity of the picture. They do a very good job at that. Just look at blacks in real life. They aren't black hole black. They always have some light reflecting off of it. Even in the dark you can see a little bit of light unless you are in a pitch black cave. Which most real situations, films, shows, etc. aren't filmed in.
I commend you on your engineering expertise but your video leaves much to be desired for the average viewer because it is much too technical and doesn't explain display features in common language and real world terms that the common person can readily understand. I believe your presentations would be much more impactful if you toned down the technical aspects and emphasized viewing quality in a way that the majority of people can relate to.
I’ll stick with my CX for now since I really like the Dolby Vision implementation and gaming features. The only other OLED that I really want is the Panasonic OLED and unfortunately they’re not sold in the United States.
Great picture quality but seems like sony doesn't care about gamers, no HGIG, no VRR, only 2 HDMI 2.1 ports, and $4000 dlls for a 65" size 😑. Great review Vincent 👍👏.
Hello Vincent! Does the A90J also have increased SDR brightness compared to regular OLED TVs that don't use a panel with heat sink? Thank you in advance and for the great in-depth videos!
As of Rtings measurements: No ... the A90J achieved 277 nits and the C1 302 nits. But full field white (100% window) was 185 nits vs only 131 nits on the C1 ... although white rabbits in a snow field do not appear quite often in content ;-)
The problem is if you want larger than 65-in on the A90j the price more than doubles, once you watch anything on a good quality 75 inch screen there is no going back, the whole picture just becomes much more enjoyable to watch ....
While I agree on the big screen immersion but 1080i/FHD content on such a big screen looks soft n tad pixelated unless you sit 20 feet back. I personally prefer the 55 with it's higher pixel density. Quite the sweet spot if you sit 8 feet away.
Unless you don't have space for 75 compared to 65 lol. You should be sitting about 2 metres further back and that means a rather large room is needed unless you want to damage your eyesight over time.
@@DEVILTAZ35 you are totally wrong about the optimal distance of watching 4 k TVs, it about 1.5 X the diagonal size of your screen, The immersion aspect of watching something proper is all better than being to far away......
Many thanks once again, Vincent. Loving your reviews even more this year, especially how they feel more standardized even between different brands. Looking forward to the Panasonic JZ1500 review, specifically any possible/hypothetical HGIG/"HDR Tonemapping Off" solution on them, as was done & shown in this video for the Sony.
@@jonascelentano9251 he said look at other brands if you want hdmi 2.1 features. go samsung or LG. only with those will you get working 4k@120 and variable refresh rate.
@@Soclean07 But not by far worth 1K more than the G1🤣 Lets see what the image retention will be within a 5 year lifespan with that heatsink driving the panel harder and harder. Then there is the other fairytale by Sony called VRR, depending on Mediatek when to release it. Talk to the Sony PS5 Ready tv owners of the X900H last year, they are still praying a year later to the gods to please get VRR in some kind of update. If i am paying this money, for a 55 or 65 inch i want everything to work out of the box just like LG( not biased or fanboy, just plain common sense) The A90J is like buying a car with power steering, but maybe you will get the power steering someday............
@@VivaLaFamous Thank you for not poo pooing on gamers. I was about to say the same thing. Now that I've finally built my gaming PC the LG is the ultimate choice for me.
@@DEVILTAZ35 well if it’s that price it will be as popular as the Panasonic- superior but no one will pay that for a 65 inch. Sony tried this extreme pricing and what happened after a few months - they priced like the lg Cx and most times were cheaper or had steeper discounts. With lg c1 and g1 setting a reasonable initial price by the time A90G comes online the lg’s will be discounting. If you can hold and not be first off the block I’d wait till Black Friday when things have died down and the discounts are great
Sony 2020: We promise to add the missing features ALLM and VRR. Sony 2021: We promise to add the missing features ALLM and VRR. Sony 2022: Oh haaii, we promise to add the missing features ALLM and VRR.
Two useless features for most people including me all matters is picture sound quality motion processing colour accuracy and upscaling gaming is second
@@georgedres7914 Samsung and LG make own DoC because use own OS's Sony need one compatible with Android TV don't sell many TVs do outsourc SoC from mediatek
Didn't Understand anything except this line " Sony A90J Review - Most Impactful HDR I've Seen from an OLED TV!". Could you please give a tutorial if you have time "how to setup the best cinema settings'' for A90J.
Primarily a TV for movies instead of gaming. I doubt we’ll ever see 4K HDR moves at anything beyond 60fps in even the most optimistic lifetime of this TV
Are you willing to pay $1,000 more just to get a little more brightness that you could only use in one mode plus Sony like all the features that Samsung and LG has how much better is the picture it's debatable
@@chinkc96kc More than that better motion upscaling sound and Dolby Vision HDR has never looked brighter than on A90J it's only 500 more where I live not everyone cares about HDMI 2.1 gaming features gamers irrelevant to most TV manufacturers. LG G1 has VRR and ALLM over A90J that not enough to justify 2500 when Sony A90J outperforms it in every other area.
Well done G1 is overpriced for the upscaling motion processing colour accuracy same brightness as last year GX CX and C9. You are better of buying A80J or C1 or even A1 if just a gamer.
Yes you're right the A90J or even the A80J are both better TVs overall than the G1, C1, GX, CX combine and the list goes on, i will always go for a Sony Oled TV or Panasonic over the others brands because i'm purist i love picture quality first, that's i buy Tvs.
I did see the a90j in person recently. And it really is doing some nice things w/HDR highlight detail. U can tell it's using it's brightness in those areas to really enhance the scene. But not enough for that price tag still.
@@DEVILTAZ35 No I’m not a gamer at all I watch is regular TV and movies. I want it for the picture and the better sound since it’s going in the bedroom I don’t want to put a sound system.
Vinnie is the honesty box we all need to drop a penny in. Never scared to point out the small things that we all fear will sway our decisions. Panny will watch & wait then Eliminate!
Hi Vincent, I know it is not ideal, but do you recommend this TV to be used outdoors (covered by full stone structure) with direct sunlight/glare? (83 inch). Love your channel!
Hi, whats that movie with the colorful trees in the background?? where can i get it? its nice for running in background for some chilly nights. :) thanks
One thing that's worth investigating is how aggressively the A90J dims the screen when it detects static UI elements, mostly in games. When playing Monster Hunter Rise (SDR) which has a lot of bright white UI elements, it was very obviously dimming them after a few minutes which detracted from my enjoyment of gaming on the TV. I started getting paranoid that the screen was always dimming during gaming so I ended up returning it and swapping it out with a C1 where I have more control over logo luminance and ABSL.
@@checarlos956214 They are both great TVs. If I exclusively watched movies/series I would have kept the A90J but I spend a lot of time gaming so end preferring the additional knobs that LG has.
Great review Vincent. Not withstanding that Sony tv’s have the best picture quality the fact that the promised firmware updates never seem to materialise puts me off buying another Sony tv. Twice now I have been let down by their promises!
HDR is amazing but I mostly watch tv in a dark room so it kills my eyes lol. I know you are supposed to leave oled light to 100 when hdr is on but I usually lower it to around 70. Still looks nice and my eyes don’t die after a movie lol
@@Adam-vx6to the Panasonic is slightly brighter but with a more washed out image the Sony is the only one using quad sub pixel boosting with the new panel and processor
So how did get the capacity to think, talk, and being distinguished from animals ??? The God created us in order to worship Him. Just take your time and think deeply.
As a ps5 only gamer. The TV does everything what it needs. Hope they can solve the hdr 120 however. Not that I will use It alot as most games will not play on 120.
also HDR 120 is not important since 120 will be used for multiplayer games where you don't really care about the visuals and you won't have that problem on single player games since they are 60fps and where HDR actually matters.
