The Sony you chose has poor brightness. The 95J is much better for that. I’d get a 75” 95J over an 85” 90J


I wouldn’t buy a media room tv without DV support.

What do you guys think about this monitor? It says HDR ready but I don't know what that means. Just trying to get a second 2k, 144hz+ monitor.

Check rtings.com - any answer you seek will more than likely be there.

Yea sounds like no HDR

Went with the 85" X91J. It will do the job fine. I am not home theatre nut enough to spend 5k on the X95.

The small tv currently on the wall will now be used for my race sim setup

True HDR is basically non existent in the world of PC’s unless you spend silly money on monitors.

It’s weird that the new X91 is like a step backward comparing to the X90

Yeah I was confused re this but I figure its somehow a way to push people towards getting the X95 in the 85" category. I almost did this but "bro" at Visions wouldn't move on the price of 85" X95 much.

I ordered and cancelled the X91J from Costco. Their $99 warranty is so much cheaper than the Visions one for $500+. Also, if you hate it after 90days, just return.

Now debating a 77" A80J vs the 75" X95J. My 3 year old Vizio still has twice the brightness in HDR as compared to the X95J. The X91J has even less brightness.

My theater room can be completely dark. But that doesn't change the highlights. I'll get the 85" X95J if I can get it for just over $4K. Might have to wait a bit.

@benyl , recently I purchased 85X95J and paid a little bit over 4400 + Taxes - It is from Visions.

Sent you a PM.

I'll be looking to pick it up in the next month or so. Be good if I get a deal on an Denon 3700 as well.

Replied to your PM.
Lol I am also searching for a receiver. There is not much stock on any receiver right now.
I am zeroing on Pioneer Elite VSZ-LSX 505. But it seems like Onkyo RZ50 is the top dog. Good thing is both of them Has Dirac.

[dirtsniffer]

Need some opinions. I'm wanting to replace my 55" tv above the mantle on the main floor. Looking for a reasonably good picture, but most of our watching is in the basement. Good brightness and with a large viewing angle. Something thin is a requirement. Main consideration is the Samsung frame right now.

My current samsung 8000 series from 2010 is only 1.2" thick, and I don't really want to go much thicker. But the blacks are terrible, brightness isn't great, and its only 1080p. But 240 hz for some reason lol

[killramos]

Frame is great, just know it’s not really a value pick.

Picture is fine, blacks are fine. 4K.

You are paying for how it looks on the wall, which for a living room where it doesn’t see a ton of use it’s the tv for the job imo. I’ve bought 3.

Sent you the receipt
I am more leaning towards 505. Which one are you looking at?
I was told ETA for both are end of Jan.
I can see if we get two what will be the price.
If you have a source please check and let me know as well.

After watching and Fast forwarding through a lot of this, I going to try to find an 85" X95J. The video is dry.

Just read some stuff on AVS forum. I'm lost again in the Onkyo vs Denon camp. Have to do more research.

Ya the 55" is on sale for $1500 right now and it seems that anything with a similiar profile and local dimming is $2k+ which is more than I want to spend for what we use it for.

[nismodrifter]

For living room get the frame. You won't regret it. Looks great.

[pheoxs]

Dumb question because I’m too lazy to look. How does sizing work on the frame? If you get a 55” then I’m assuming it’s 55” TV plus a few inch border around? So it would take the space of a 60 or 65”?
