Best of class! Says it all. Now if only this idiot company would take gaming features seriously. I mean they happen to own the biggest gaming brand yet get spanked by LG and Samsung when it comes to gaming features. It just baffles me as to why they are letting easy money pass them by?

They are different divisions. And I don't think the TV division cares what the gaming division needs.

That's pretty sad. You would think this could be an easy win.

I have a C1 mainly because of Series X's dolby vision gaming but it's honestly kinda muh compared to HDR 10 I might just switch back to Sony if they can get the prices down I play PS5 majority of the time anyway. The side by side comparison with the A90J wasn't night and day but the colors did come through a bit brighter on A95k.

Next year's model will be much better. And no that isn't always the case... C1 better than c2 etc.

Took them over an year to release an update for VRR to work on some of their TVs that were advertised with the feature. I wouldn't trust them to jump on new gaming technology as they appear.

Mate LG and Samsung have been providing 4 HDMi 2.1 ports for years. What do Sony provide 2 at best? What about freesync? This with costing far more as well.

How many PS gamers do you think there are? Millions. Missed sales due to lack of features and costing more as well.

Did you not watch the video? He went over several issues. Lack of Dolby Vision game mode, Higher input lag than rivals, doesn't automatically setup the input settings properly (big deal for the average consumer who doesn't know they need to change the HDMI settings to support things like DV or VRR), Issues with resolving 4:4:4 chroma. That last one as a PC HTPC gamer is a big deal to me and makes it unviable compared so Samsung. This has been a software/processing issue Sony has had back sense 2018.

Not really being worse for gaming and not as bright.Better than Crapsung. No surprise.

Yeah looks to be 2 of the 4, ports 3 and 4. I wonder if they'll add FreeSync support to their TVs/PS5 when they release the monitors they are apparently making

Tell me you didn't watch the video without telling me you didn't watch the video.

Thats 90s SEGA level of stupid. Price/feature wise compared to the competition
Sony tv's haven't made sense to buy for years now unless you just watch movies and never game

Really hard to disagree here lol I was hit with that unfortunate reality when I returned my A80J for the C1 after gaming on both but there's still something about the Sony image that I miss I just can't put my finger on it I think it had better highlights..LG definitely earned its respect from me & other gamers they always seem to be adding features.

That's because Sony Use mediatek chipset which is sucks. Sony doesn't make their own chipset. LG and Samsung make their own chipset. That's why they can go all out in gaming.

Why would a PS5 owner need any of that? It’s not a PC monitor. It’s a TV lol
And DV gaming is 1 a joke and 2 irrelevant for PS5 owners.

For gaming, it's not the best TV in 2022. Looks like LG OLEDs are still the ones to beat for the best gaming features (4x HDMI 2.1 ports, HGIG support, Dolby Vision + 120Hz simultaneous support, etc.). This looks like a great alternative for non-gamers.

that's only been the case for a few years. 3 years for LCD, 2 years for oled

Yeah. Sony's hdr tone mapping/hgig is even more broken than last year.
Another very overpriced overhyped offering from Sony.
It has its faults, but I would say the lg c1 is still the best overall OLED. Or, I guess the g1, but it isn't worth the extra money esp if you don't wall mount.

I will take slightly lifted dark scenes over black crush like on S95B or C1 without calibration any day.
And according to rtings they do work with G-sync just fine.
Plus A95K has much better near-black handling than any WOLED thanks to lack of overshooting white subpixel that really spoils the fun in some dark movies/games.

Not much I think. Enhanced VRR disables local dimming on XH90 but they updated every other TV so that LD works with VRR as well.

I bought one of their older models on sale. It's still an excellent screen IMO. Really love the IQ that it's giving me.

Yeah the C1 is better than than the C2, seeing how they removed features from the newer sets.

Just turn Dolby vision for gaming off in the Xbox’s settings. I love DV gaming though.
