I prefer to have both, 120-150" projector with full 7.1.2 / 9.1.2 Atmos setup in a soundproofed room & OLED with soundbar in my bedroom.
The feeling & immersion you get from a Home Cinema Projector is totally different from a smaller 65-77" OLED TV. It feels like you are at the scene, I don't get that feeling with a small sized TV. If you watch 3D this is especially noticeable.

A comparison in Audio would be like Projector -> Live at a Symphony Orchestra vs OLED -> Headphones with dedicated DAC/Amp for precision & clarity. In live venues, you don't get the clarity & precision but you can feel the atmosphere resonating in your bones and heart. While dedicated audiophile headphones/equipment, you get a different feeling. The clarity, emotions of the sound resonates in your heart.

of course if looking for the best, the sky is the limit. tongue.gif

Objectively false .

You can say that as your opinion. But no that isn't true.

Our eyes determine how realistic, how much depth something has via the Dynamic range , which is basically contrast ratio and used to measure how capable every screen is.
A massive screen with poor resolution, low contrast, and bad color accuracy won’t feel immersive, whereas a smaller screen with high resolution, deep blacks, and good HDR can pull you in much more effectively.

(Also the fact that you can sit closer to the screen so it envelops your field of vision more effectively)
Of course the gamechanger being, HDR. A testament on how much the display tech has improved. 2 decades ago, a larger screen means it can better provide immersion. But the innovation of HDR has completely changed the landscape.

I had my 77 " QD OLED seated in a room with controlled ambient light. Whenever a char shows up from a dark background, or multiple stars against a galaxy backdrop , there's a pseudo 3D effect that looks like a portal has just opened up from another reality. You have to witness the floating illusion to understand. Particularly true for QD OLED as they perform impeccably near black.
In an Ideal world, you will want both. But if you are only given one, whichever screen that has higher Contrast ALWAYS wins. The human brains are smart. They don't perceive a piece of washed out cardboard as reality.  Last time I check, the most advanced and pricey projector has still only manage to reach 300 cd/m2 +-. Its color saturation is 1/10 from an OLED screen. Sadly that's light years behind to be able to achieve any sort of HDR effect.

The closest thing you are able to achieve both are via Apple's VR Headset. But even then it still has lower contrast , lower perceived sharpness than OLED TVs***. DSCC has said that the microLED displays can UP TO deliver 5000 nits but a large volume of that is lost due to the lenses and the display driving method.
***A MicroLED lens like Apple's VR do naturally have higher pixel density (~3000 PPI ) against typical OLED TV (~70-100 depends on size). But since you are wearing it upclose and distortion of VR lens, 4k videos look far less pristine on VR headset than on the OLEDs . Sorry Apple fans , your VR headsets do not actually look better than a 2025 OLED TV,  yet.

I agree. I am not an enthusiast in this area but even with small oiled tv of 55-inch with perfect picture quality, it bought me over watching in cinema with much bigger projected video now. 😁

And ever since I had used oled tv, I look at any non-oled tv, I can tell that it is not oled even looking at those high end mini-led tvs immediately at first glance. tongue.gif That’s why it is a one way train.

Of course the next to pursue a bigger size oled when my budget allows. Else the current oled tv still can satisfy me for now with no issue.

Indeed, for best viewing experience, nothing can beat oled for now.

Not even the highest end Bravia 9 even despite more expensive than Bravia 8.

Aih.. sori²..
Forgot to add.. typing in middle of something..

Ok. For the 85" listed price Rm5190 when i was scouting.
75" listed price RM5751.

Got it at RM4600 delivered. (minus all available voucer, + rm130 coins equivalent)

I check back price already adjusted for 85" to RM5951

I think thats the cheapest 85" i got for the specs.

That’s totally a good deal no doubt.

i am still living with my 55-inch sony a80j. but also happy with it.. since the apartment unit i stay, the distance between sofa and tv is about 2.5m (from the position i sit and the position of eyes to tv), certainly 65-inch will be ideal but it is much more expensive. cool2.gif

kannnnn... Bravia 3 itself the 75inch i find the price ok but Bravia 3 is entry sony model... so it is just a basic tv haiyahhhh

Seriously the Bravia 3 is better than the previous x75k which is a real basic tv in terms of brightness.

But other than that actually Bravia 5, 7, and 9 are just slightly better in terms of contrast and brightness. Give that all are not OLED, the picture quality is nothing impressive after all.

but 5,7 and 9 comes with XR processor and also 120 hz panel. That's the selling point for them biggrin.gif

they are. certainly.

depending on if one needs these features. if so one just need a basic TV, bravia 3 is still quite a ok choice.
5, 7, 9 since they are all mini-led and have same processor, 120hz display, the difference is solely on the contrast, brightness. find it a bit redundant to have so many different variants for the same type of panel (mini-LED).

but since OLED bravia 8 also has all these features that 5, 7, 9 have, and with OLED, it is superior in terms of picture quality, so it is still better.

You got good points on Sony. I also feel it is redundant.

Let me think and see if want 3 or not. I actually aiming for 5 but that's double the amount of 3 at this point. Thank you so much for offering your insights  notworthy.gif

no prob. better go to store to compare as well. biggrin.gif

do also consider if u need 120hz on PS5 etc. due to gaming like what others mentioned also.

fellow peeps who should be more informed about TV tech then me, i got a q:

i want to change my existing 65" oled tv since it doesn't have have earc to support dolby (real waste as i just got a arc ultra, 2x era300, 2x sub4).

Would it be wise for me to go for a qned tv? specifically this - "LG 75-inch QNED92 QNED evo". Would the image quality drop noticeable enough for me to actually regret moving from OLED or QNED?

My budget allows me to go for a 65" oled, but it seems rather stupid to me as i'm practically paying 10k just to get earc port.

Going for 75" oled did not pass the ministry of home finance after just recently having those sonos shipped in...

Totally a degrade. Once u had used oled tv, it will be hard to move back to normal lcd even mini led.

I have both and mini LED fares better in my bright living room. I was using OLED previously and the brightness is just not good enough in bright room, so I had to move OLED to upstairs living room which is darker and purchase mini LED for living room.

OLED has QD-OLED variant also which is higher end and have the same brightness like mini-led. To me, it is the best TV one can buy without any compromisation in terms of picture quality, brightness etc.

OLED is not bright enough, but this can be easily resolved by having a good blackout curtain that can block out sunlight to prevent for glare/reflection.
Whoever has used OLED before will know mini-LED can never beat OLED even the highest end one, except brightness alone.

XR50 = Bravia 5- is a spiritual successor(?) of the highly rated Sony X90L series. Sadly it is downgraded and didn't perform as well as predecessors. Sony continues to rely on its excellent picture processing continue to carry its mid-range - upper mid models.

QNED92 = A new gen of LG MINI-LED that is using TCL VA panels instead of the usual IPS . Result is drastically improved contrast and higher peak brightness. But LG has sub-par local dimming compare to others , despite packing better hardware than similar TV models.
TL;DR
XR50 has less impressive hardware but the software side ( upscaling , motion , local dimming etc etc ) makes up for it.
QNED92 has better hardware but the local dimming performance is subpar.
In general they are likely in the same performance bracket.
Whichever you should buy will depend on which you get a better deal out of.

Personally I would gamble on Sony's. LG's LCD remains in the niche category. And yes that is after considering that they have replaced some of their LCD with VA panels.

source: google AI.

The Sony BRAVIA 5 (XR50) TV is the successor to the Sony X90L model (also known as the X90CL in some regions), which was released in 2023.

Key differences between the two models include:
Backlight Technology: The X90L used a standard Full Array LED panel, while the newer BRAVIA 5 has a Mini LED backlight system with significantly more dimming zones.
Brightness: The older X90L is generally brighter overall in both HDR and SDR content, making it better for well-lit rooms.
Contrast: The BRAVIA 5 offers slightly better contrast due to its Mini LED technology.
Gaming Features: The BRAVIA 5 features lower input lag and less stuttering, which can be an advantage for gaming.

While the BRAVIA 5 introduces the newer Mini LED tech, some reviews indicate the X90L is still considered the better overall option for many users due to its superior brightness and color performance.

better to go with OLED, which totally no need to worry about picture quality becos it is already top-notch.

and OLED over the years the brightness also had been improved quite a bit too. overall it will be good.

even if still find brightness not enough now got QD-OLED also if u got more budget.
