Sony TV Discussion Thread III

No need bah.. in few months time, price maybe cheaper or better deals ? haha.
But most likely I will be set on 65X90J , unless got better deals during end year sale

Why not 75"?

 

[Kevin10]

Why not 75"?

Too Big for me bah.. i think 65" will be just nice for my 4rm flat.

 

[Billy Law]

65” is just nice for my budget but I am sure my 4rm flat can accommodate a 75” TV no issue.

 

[Kevin10]

Haha.. Previously I was using 55" and I actually find it ok already.. 65" should be good.

But then true also.. 65" more easier on pocket. hahahaha

 

[Billy Law]

Exactly, 65” is currently the most value for money TV size that you can buy right now. You have to pay a lot more to move up to a 75” which is not worth it unless you really really want a giant TV.

Yup.. just did a quick check for the same model , 75" is almost double the price of 65". haha.. no thanks.

75" is shiok... even 3 years on. Even when playing Nintendo switch split screens. Considering the no of hours we use this, it's well worth the money at 5.5k.

Actually 55" is most value for money.

True also but 55” I find a bit too small for a cinematic watching experience. For me, 65” would be a much better size for immersive movie viewing. 75” would be ideal if not for the hefty pricetag.

Has anyone seen a good price on the A80J 77"? Thanks

 

[mep123]

The a80 dropped a little .. but still in the 11.5k range

VPN to USA on my Sony X90F and got the new Android TV Discover GUI and off VPN. Auto roll back to the old GUI after off VPN, likely is server side switch.

Installed the universal Apple TV v2.2 apk and disable 4K on its app setting to make Apple TV content play smoothly, with 4K due to Apple/Sony don’t officially support 2018 F series and below, there is DRM issue so 4K don’t work properly.

Thanks, I notice they didn't bring in the 83".
At this price, it's getting near LG 83" pricing.. ouch...

 

[mep123]

Sony pricing quite stiff.. usually don't have drastic drop like lg Samsung

Sad that it’ll revert to the old UI once VPN is turn off. Hopefully the new UI come to Singapore soon.

The recently launched XR X95J 85" looks very interesting..

ohh interesting, a price.
I see it on their website for MSRP S$ 9,499.00 but not in stock on the actual online store.

According some forums , it was released in China but there has been very bad QC with the panel they use, a lot of uniformity issues... so they trying to fix it before a global release.
Quite sad about that, I hope they can fix it properly as i really want a X95J 75"

 

[petetherock]

It’s available for pre orders now, around 2k less I think
Where did you get that info on the panel issue ?

But this is the internet, so pinch of salt i guess

There's an X95J review, it has been revealed that the 65" X95J has 60 dimming zones like the 65" X950H. Best to wait for a more detailed review from RTINGs or HDTVTest.

My mandarin is pretty bad, if anyone's able to translate this or provide English subtitles it be great.
