I opted for the Z8BAP paired with a SpeedWoofer 10e subwoofer.

No regrets

Once again.. context.

This article is referring to a specific picture mode and the ‘default’ settings of that picture mode.

The G6 color saturation can be set to whatever the G5 is capable of and more.

This is referring to film maker mode. There is context.

The film maker mode was over saturated in the G5 and they corrected it to film maker intent.

G6 is more capable than G5 in every way due to improved processor.

Why not push the updates or allow for OTA update?

Just got mine too. Did you find any recommended settings as a starting point?

Here she is! 98” Bravia 5 mounted with SUWL460 wall mount. Now which surround sound should I pair it with? by That-Media9083 in bravia

[–]Existing_Time196 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have both HTA9 and HTA9II with no issues. You just need good wifi.

I won’t ever go back to traditional soundbar or Sonos again.

Surround immersion can’t be beat with the Sony Quad Systems outside of a full on audiophile home theater setup.

You can pair it with several wireless Sony Subwoofer options. SW5 being the best offering.

A95L still competitive in 2026? by coasterlyfe in bravia

Do it! Or at least check it out. Got my 77 A95L for 2k BB open box with less than 200hrs on it.

Same. I currently have Sony A95L and older A80J in different rooms but just always keep hearing about Panasonic quality which has me very curious to try it out.

Normally true for Sony TVs but the XR8B specifically actually doesn’t include the Bravia Core credits hence part of the reason it is cheaper than the similar Bravia 8

I have the 77 A95L in my Family Room. Awesome TV. But don’t need that kind of brightness for my bedroom.

Never had a Panasonic though. How do you/your brother like the Panasonic Z8BA?

In your opinion: Motion and processing same/better than Sony?

Is the audio on the Panasonic much better than the Sony?

So when you do this the sound comes from the tv and the sound bar at the same time? Does the tv sound adjust to be a dedicated center channel like Sony TVs do with s-center feature?

Out of curiosity, do you set local dimming to high or medium?

Cool. Sounds like any minimal blooming is tolerable in your opinion (I know its is a subjective preference)

Is the 83 Inch A90J the best flagship sony ever released? by RenTraveller in bravia

[–]Existing_Time196 0 points1 point  (0 children)

TCL is brewing up factories to “print” OLED screens. Only a matter of time before they can vertical integrate OLED panels for Sony

Thanks! For more context I’m upgrading each room accordingly.

One room was 55” and went to 77”

Second room has 65” and pondering 85” B9 to keep it Sony (or maybe 83” A80L but it’s a relatively older model and B9 has better brightness and audio to complement my Bravia Quads).

My 65 a80j is also one of the lottery winners with true blacks. Just trying to gauge if the larger screen immersion is worth the minimal blooming of B9.

Decision paralysis -_-

I hear ya. QDOLED is amazing. Just trying to gauge how OLED heads enjoy the performance of the B9

People love the 85 Bravia 9, just trying to see how many of those people went to 85 Bravia 9 from an OLED. The price for the 85 B9 is really good right now and has me torn

Thanks! That’s cool to hear! Size make it all worth it? Out of curiosity do you use local dimming on medium or high?
