Wow bro, how you got over rm300 for the lazada bonus. I managed to get only rm182....

Hi all, I am currently considering Sony X85J 65 inches over the Samsung AU9000 65 inches? I have a Samsung HWQ-950A soundbar which is why I am thinking of pairing it up with a Samsung tv for the Q Symphony functionality. Currently own a Samsung tv but exploring Sony tvs as well. Mainly use it for streaming Dolby Atmos contents using Netflix. Any advice would be appreciated thanks.

Dolby Atmos because I know Samsung TV don't support Dolby Vision and also these TVs are not high end enough to take advantage of Dolby Vision.

Thanks for your comments.

I got a good price in Lazada for the Sony X85J just slightly more than the Samsung AU9000. However after shopping further I have now ordered Samsung Q65AB as got good price RM 4.6k and got RM 200 free touch and go e credits. Do you know what is the difference between Q60A and Q65AB as I am trying to find out but can't seem to find out the differences. Yes I saw at the shop and the Samsung Q65A is brighter and much clearer better definition compared to the Samsung AU9000.

You mean which older model is better ya? I thought VA is better than IPS correct since VA should be brighter?

Which Samsung models you looked at before you purchased the X90J? Yeah I was looking at the AU series for Samsung also then the sales guy told me better top up a bit get Qled as the screen brighter and much better definition and I saw the difference also when I went to the showroom. I liked the Sony X85J also very nice but I bought Samsung TV mainly to pair with my Samsung HWQ-950A soundbar so that I can have Q Symphony.

hi bro, this x90j price is excellent.

have u received it yet, initial comments?

when opting for this, did u compare with the A80J oled?

ya, that's always the question - is the oled worth it as the price diff is significant.

moreover, this oled burn-in issue still exist, doesn't it?

Yeap, absolutely worth it. I still prefer to watch HDR10 / DV contents on my LG OLED than my Sony X90H especially dark scenes with bright details. Though I don't own the A80J so can't say the same for that.

Brightness/peak luminance is just one numerator of HDR range and only OLED can achieve true 0 nits to make the contrast ratio inf. 

thanks for comments.

if HDR/DV is the requirement and if u afford it, OLED it is!

You don't need 1000 nits to get HDR optimal performance on OLED. On LCD perhaps yes. But on OLED, its between <0.0005 nits to >540 nits is more than capable to have the pop for specular highlights.

I like VA on my X90H also. DV contents still look quite good. Just that the viewing angle not too good. .

But yeah it will be worth 2x of your Hisense.

bolded is interesting.

what do u usually watch - netflix, astro, local playback?

curious if this effect is diff or much the same for HDR10 vs DV for same video title on the X90J.

I wonder if that has something to do with the X90J FALD 24 larger zones vs 32 on the X90H? Actually I already somewhat can tell the transition isn't that good on the X90H but can't judge based on my eyes. Should judge based on test patterns and reference points.

How's the blooming around subtitles on the X90J?

The black crush is not mostly a problem , because of the amount of dynamic range OLED has .

In fact it was intentional and served as a dithering mask to smoothen out black -> dark gray transition .

When you start from zero , you have plenty of headroom left compare to any LCD .
The dimmer is also not an issue either , after 10000 or even 100000 hours of rigorous testing from rting and several media outlet , the brightness ratings have not actually dropped .

For most people this would probably means a decade of TV watching .

I don't think you understand what is HDR , if at all .
Dynamic range is like a canvas . It is measured similarly to contrast , which starts from the deepest black expanding to the brightest peak .
It is what is giving pictures a sense of depth , again similiar to how we measure contrast which play the biggest role in determining picture quality .
Yet under a typical situation  , a 500 nits OLED TV will generate the same amount of impact (or "POP" which many of you have heard from HDTV ) as a 1500 nits LCD .
That is because when it comes to dynamic range , the " darker " side of the measurement is far more valued than the brighter end of the spectrum of light .
Human eyes are very sensitive to lights in a way that we are able to perceive more details in a dimmer environment than under strong lights.

A 1500 nits FALD TV probably has a base black floor of around 0.025 cd/m2 , which is roughly equivalent to 1:12000 contrast . 
The OLED always starts from 0 , even with a 800 peak brightness it has a typical contrast rating of 1 : 1000000 .

This is due to the flaws coming from the same tech that powers all currently liquid crystal screen , which require a backlight system .

The current backlight system is far from perfection , often requires complex calculation to be functional and pales in real life performance .
The same reason why even these 1000 nits monitor are considered fake HDR advertising . They are just bright screens , there is very little dynamic range on it because they are unable to supress the lights effectively .
You just said you can't afford an OLED  , yet you somehow manage to come to this conclusion .
Please don't tell me you are making the judgement from a highly compressed youtube video with an extremely limited dynamic range .
It is physically impossible for this to happen ,

The only circumstance I can think of is you are in a very , very bright room or you are watching large patch of snow field , in which case the strong ambient light is overpowering the screen with glares .
Self emissive screen such as the OLED always gain an advantage and willl trample over the LED LCDs when it comes to sheer picture quality .

And we have not even begin to talk about dark room performance .

In dim / pitch black room , that advantage will translate into infinite contrast . Anything with a darker background will project a sense of image floating in air , conjuring a semi - 3d illusion , a PQ miracle which you have to witness to understand how awesome it is .
Now now , we have not even started to talk about the plethora of Issue such as screen uniformity . uneven screen light distribution which further reduce dynamic range and contrast , "halos" and blooming and backlight leakage .
If we are being frank here , the 2 technology are not in the same running league.

Let me know what they could do to fix it ! <Grin>

It is a Sony problem, I doubt they can do much about it.

In the end, I downloaded a 1080p Blu-ray MP4 version, it plays without problem.

The 4k mkv version mastered by netizen could not be handled correctly by the Sony TV.

Any1 can suggest best picture settings for X90J?
