Sony Plan to Ditch OLED & Use Mini LED for 2024 Flagship TV. Here's Why

I don’t think the ultimate TV customer cares how much power a TV uses. It cares whether the picture is great or not . Black levels are very important to the video connoisseur.

"this means you are still failing, but with more effort..." - made my day, thank you! :)

I just bought my first Oled and am blown away by the picture

That demo with only the backlights enabled on the two mini leds versus the OLED was really interesting to see

It's cheaper to make but I'll bet the pricing will be on par with other OLEDs being a 'flagship' and new technology. The idea that customers will save is corporate spin BS

OLED reignited my love for home cinema. Going back to LCD, regardless of the backlight, is going to be tough.

It was good to see Vincent on Digital Trends. Even if it was only brief

A95L continues through 2024 as the OLED flagship. Makes sense for Sony to take that gap year and make a comeback in the LCD sector, especially with no real improvements from Samsung Display’s panels this year. Looking forward to seeing how the X95M performs next to the BVM-HX310 in your tests.

I am so happy with my OLED, that I can't see myself switching to another panel technology any time soon.

Sony: We expect content creators to push high brightness levels. Content Creators: Darkness levels it is.

I love how Vincent provides more detail, the bits that help you understand why something works or doesn't work.

I’m on a CX and I’ll be waiting for fully phosphorescent OLED to upgrade. Massive increase in efficiency that should effectively eliminate burn in while increasing brightness. MLA should be a standard feature by that point as well.

I purchased my first OLED in 2020, a 77 LG CX, after hearing horror stories of burn in but also hearing how great the picture looks on those tv's. Well, after a little over 3 years, I am never, ever buying an LCD tv again. I was upgrading LCD tv's almost every year before getting the CX due to one issue or another (blooming, slow response times, HDMI handshake issues), but the CX has been the best TV I have owned and when it's time to replace it, I will only replace it with another OLED. I host movie night at my house and even though the CX is considered fairly old at this point, people still comment on how great the picture looks while we watch movies. I want to try the Sony OLED but the lack of 2.1 HDMI inputs has so far kept me away from them. As far as energy use, I couldn't care less and I believe this is nonsense that Sony is coming up with to sell LCD tv's for for a premium price, only to make a bigger profit.

6:58 You can't beat OLEDs response time.

Basically the best TV Sony will sell in 2024 will be the A95L. Simpls

Thank you for yet another outstanding video with your excellent knack for detailed descriptions and tremendous knowledge!

"Once you go black, you never go back". After I made the switch to OLED and considering how completely and utterly satisfied me myself, my family, friends, everyone who watches movies on my OLED-TV are, this is the panel technology I will stay at.

My brother bought the s90c qd oled 55 inches and i bought the qn90b mini qled 55 inches. When we compared both side by side we couldn't see any major differences apart from the obvious perfect black levels of the qd oled and that was only when we made the room pitch black with no light pollution at all, and of course the advantage of brightness the qn90b has over every other tv out there, but still both amazing with their advantages and disadvantages, you simply can't have it all in one for the time being. Now when it comes to Sony as a previous user of a sony tv, well it had its issues but it wasn't a flagship and I've seen Sony's flagships last very long with no signs of quality degradation at all.

I'm calling it now...Sony will release a QD-OLED A95M once Samsung implements phosphorescent OLED. This feels like a stop gap move to let the Panel prices go down. Also since Sony has position the brand as Premium brand, they will see sales drop in the year(s) in between the transition to phosphorescent OLED. Most AV companies/Installers will still continue to push OLED as the only premium choice for their clients.

Well, time to pull the trigger on the A95L. Although I may wait a month to take advantage of price drops, if any.
