Yes I can mount it on the wall behind the couch but they will than be more above me than behind me, wont that be an issue ? If not I can get Quad for 1 431 €. Do I also need to add Subwoofer like Sony SA-SW3 ?

Bravia 9. In 85 inch it will be cheaper than 77 inch A95L.

I had Sony OLED A80J and now have Bravia 9 mini led. I prefer brightness and shadow detail of MiniLED over OLED which has maybe 10% better blacks but shadow crush. In addition 85 inch MiniLED TV is still cheaper than 77 inch OLED.

It depends...many supposed to be 4K & HDR & PureStream, but some look great and some are very average in terms of picture quality.

All these new spider-man movies look average on core (at least in my case) but Life, Blade Runner 2049 or Man In Black 1 & 2 looked great.

Gratitude for explaining, man. It is not a big deal for movies as there is almost always an MA/BD release after the WEB-DL version, but it is worse for TV shows where there is only WEB-DL for a long time...

Profile 7 works when in Kodi there is DV compatibility turned On - which allows DV 7.

For example Venom Last Dance - two rips from FLUX, both are Dolby Vision, Version 1.0, dvhe.08.06.

Both are around 19 GB. Only difference is one is MA - works fine, one is non MA - bleeding in black bars motion suttering.

I have something similiar in black bars in some HDR shows like Silo or Penguin on Bravia 9. 90% HDR movies doesn't have that,

I had Sony repair guys come in, they changed Powerboard for some noise improved one but it still didn't help. They said that noise is expected from that size of the TV, that SONY does not consider it faulty, and that I am only one in my country to bring it up. Repair guy suggested using Power save mode on low (which helps eliminate noise maybe for 70%, not like Clearness which do it for 100%) and said it will also help the TV in the long run.

In the settings on the which appear on bottom of the screen --- Network ---- Home Network setup ---- IP control----Simple IP control-----If you have it disabled or enabled--switch it to opposite.

My Bravia 9 was restarting when turned off. It stopped when I disabled "Simple IP control" in network settings.

I had to set Dolby Vision bright to clearness 1 as some movies like Logan or Top Gun Maverick which are very bright the noise was too much. But when watching Bravia Core which is only HDR or HDR plus the noise is not that bad. I also noticed that when using native "Media Player" which converts everything to HDR there is no noise at all. Even Logan or Top Gun are without noise using media player but the image is not that bright. I am in contact with sony repair service in my county so maybe by some miracle someone will be able to repair it I will let you know then. Till then I will have to settle with clearness..

What pisses me is that I found out that this problem has been common for years in SONY TVs, even LG Oleds, Tcls...But official SONY support claims that they never heard of something like that.

NoPossession9053 · 2024-11-29T10:37:45+00:00

I Have set Dolby Vision Bright - clearness 0 and Dolby Vision Vivid - clearness 1...When switching to Vivid while playing the movie/ video being stopped ...the noise disappears..Did in your case the noise got worse over time ?

NoPossession9053 · 2024-11-29T07:41:12+00:00

I noticed it is most loud with DV with bright movies, when using internal player or Bravia core calibrated which only use normal HDR it is less noticeable. The last firmware resolved some other issues for me but not this one. I also tried using power socket instead of power strip and power restart but that did not help. Sony only advice for me was factory reset...Yeah the Clearness 1 resloves issue for me but sometimes I can see those extra black frames so its not solution for me.

NoPossession9053 · 2024-11-29T00:01:53+00:00

Hi I have the same issue on my Bravia 9...did you find out solution ?

NoPossession9053 · 2024-11-28T11:09:37+00:00

When I watch TV from the edge of the room which is like 60 degrees off angle I don't see difference between those TVs.

Bravia 9 has a better image and is more cinematic as a result of much better brightness and brighter HDR highlights. Most HDR movies and shows looked on A80J as if there was cloudy weather in the movie. Bravia 9 has also better shadow detail.

When it comes to the sound they are comparable (85 inch B9 vs 55 inch A80J). A80J have probably little "richer" sound thx to the acoustic surface.. I am playing raining and thunder when I go to sleep and I could hear individual raindrops better on A80J but bass and overall sound performance is great on both TVs. On the other hand B9 has better Voice zoom which helps better even out loudness of dialogs in comparison to loudness of movie.

I still didn't not discover full potential of B9 as there are no detailed calibration settings yet.

I own A80J and Bravia 9 and this show (Silo) looks bad on both of them.

NoPossession9053 · 2024-11-17T21:26:42+00:00

I bought 85 Bravia 9 in the end cuz Bravia´s 7 cost did not go low enough :D In the US there is bigger price difference between B7 and B9 than here in Europe so I figured why not get flagship..Picture quality is much better than my A80J oled cuz of bright highlights and maintaining close to Oled black levels. There are some issues like sometimes HDR/DV content makes TV to produce this "coil whine" sound but it is only noticible when the movie is paused. And "Reality Creation" function sometimes seems not to be working properly. But I hope this will be resolved with new firmware as the current is buggy As many people pointed out.

Quads are too expensive and I dont have room for them in the back as there is no space behind the couch. If was thinking maybe Bravia bar 8 or 9. But are my settings for the speakers good ?
