I hear ya. You are paying for better processing, reflection handling, ect. For gaming it is overkill but for a home theater that performance is essential to me.
I mean I'd like it for gaming too. A big complaint I have with the S95B is it doesn't properly do HGIG, and a lesser one is its PQ tracking isn't great. It matters for games, since generally you want the tone mapping done by the game engine, not by the display. I didn't expect to like my MiniLED monitor as much as I do, and part of the reason is that it does proper PQ tracking the whole range through (other part is the brightness).
Do report in when you get it.
I hear you. However maybe I'm just an old fart right now but I remember the old Pioneer plasmas in the late 90s costing $40,000. The fact that you can get this kind of picture for $5000 and have it be 30~ inches bigger is just amazing.
Oh don't get me wrong, things are getting so much better. There was a time when high-end video was just completely out of my range. Not only did I not make the money I do now, but even if I did it was just in a category I couldn't afford. I am exceedingly happy with the displays we can get. Heck even low-end LCDs are amazing compared to the garbage that was cheap CRTs from when I was a kid.
Exactly, yes and a 720P Pioneer Kuro at like 55 inches was like $7,000.
What size? Is VRR working?
Nobody knows.
I don't have one, just relaying information since people were talking about reviews saying it's the "best display ever."
If the intent is for streaming then surely 100 Mbps is plenty? What am I missing here? Surely firmware downloads aren't THAT large?
Has nothing to do with firmware downloads. Watch the video above for context.
Okay I had no idea. Wow! Noted then. And yes that’s hilarious about the Sony streaming service being too much for the Ethernet port. Lol
With inferior processing, motion handling and image quality. I wouldn’t turn my nose up to a G3, however. It just doesn’t quite have the processing chops for a serious theater buff.
Mine has burn-in too.
Not terrible but you notice it if you look for it. Having small children means I'm not dropping that kind of change on... any electronics actually . But yeah, they would accidentally destroy an OLED in no time flat.
That has to do with the processor and firmware, not the HDMI inputs. I'm not doubting Sony's ability to code fantastic image processing in their televisions, but that is no excuse for the low number of HDMI inputs, which they say is a "cost" issue. Personally, I need 4 inputs (PC, Xbox Series X, PlayStation 5, UHD Blu-Ray player).
While I'd argue that you should use a receiver to plug in and switch all those devices to give you the good, booming, sound they deserve... I'll agree that the cost argument is fucking dumb coming from a TV this expensive. Like I totally get the cheaper argument for budget displays. If you are trying to keep the cost down, I can see having less ports, and less of thing being 2.1 as it DOES cost money for those high speed interconnects. But for something that Sony wants this much money for? STFU and put in a chip that can handle all 4 at 48gbps.
77 inch, yes VRR is working, but not on the same input with DV enabled.
They could just put a switcher on it. TVs have done that before, they just get an HDMI switch and put it in there and hook it to the one high speed port. Still costs, but not that much.
They say you need to use Wifi for it... to point out the strangeness:
Which again show the strangeness, it is not because the motherboard-chips are too limited for that speed it seem.
For desktop use?
That only comes to their "90" series. I haven't heard any word about A90L though. The A90K is still their top for the series.
