Bought for an arcade monitor
on December 23, 2019
Posted by: jgoardo
Verified Purchase:Yes
Pretty decent TV. I needed a 32in monitor for an arcade cabinet that I was building and was having a hard time finding an actual computer monitor for a reasonable price that would easily mountable. This fit the bill, the only thing I wish was different was that it had an IPS panel so you didn't have the color degradation it off to the side and I also wish it would turn on automatically with the computer, but other than that it's great.

Used in an arcade machine I built
on September 24, 2019

Verified Purchase:Yes
Great inexpensive 32in screen. I didn't need anything amazing as I was using this for an arcade cabinet that I built and this works perfectly. It does have a game mode so input lag is not an issue. Colors look fine and blacks are sufficiently deep so what I am using it for. If you're looking for a nice size screen for an arcade project, I would definitely recommend this one

Bought for kids room, basically happy

Verified Purchase:Yes
I bought this for my 2 young boys room. Picture is better than expected. Voice search works good. The only thing that is kinda lame is that every time you turn it on it boots to the home menu. Would be nice if it would return to whatever you were doing last like the input the cable box is on. But, it's in the kids room so not that big of a deal.

Worst movie i've seen since Alien Covenant
on January 7, 2019
Posted by: jgoardo
from Phoenix
This movie was bad. I wanted it to be good...I loved Man of Steel, I liked Batman V Superman, I am not a comic book reader so I have no allegiance to Marvel or DC...But this movie was really bad. The story was obviously rushed to try and compete with The Avengers, the biggest difference is that Marvel took 10 years to develop characters individually before bringing them together. You find out who Cyborg, The Flash, and Aqua-Man (maybe the worst part of Justice League) with 5 minute back stories. The acting was bad. Jason Mamoa is maybe one of the top 10 worst actors to get a giant movie role lately. I never read Aquaman and assumed he would be a dumb character and Jason Mamoa put the exclamation point on that assumption. SUPER LAME MOVIE1

Christopher Nolan steps back into the director's chair for this sequel to Batman Begins, which finds the titular superhero coming face to face with his greatest nemesis - the dreaded Joker. Christian Bale returns to the role of Batman, Maggie Gyllenhaal takes over the role of Rachel Dawes (played by Katie Holmes in Batman Begins), and Brokeback Mountain star Heath Ledger dons the ghoulishly gleeful Joker makeup previously worn by Jack Nicholson and Cesar Romero. Just as it begins to appear as if Batman, Lt. James Gordon (Gary Oldman), and District Attorney Harvey Dent (Aaron Eckhart) are making headway in their tireless battle against the criminal element, a maniacal, wisecracking fiend plunges the streets of Gotham City into complete chaos.

Easily the best Kong film yet
on January 5, 2019
Posted by: jgoardo
from Phoenix
So I've been a fan of King Kong since I was a kid. I got King Kong Vs Godzilla for my 10th birthday and watched it 3 x in a row the day i got it. This is easily the best King Kong film. Unlike the other Kong movies, it doesn't take forever for Kong to make an appearance and he's in the movie a lot. The story is great and the action scenes are brilliant. 4k HDR looks simply stunning as well. Must own and demo worthy movie.

Great movie, 1080 version is more colorful...
on January 5, 2019
Posted by: jgoardo
from Phoenix
This was one of the first movies I purchased in 4k. I love the movie and already owned the standard blu ray. My initial impressions were not great as I felt that the colors were muted in the 4k HDR version. This is often the case though as the colors are often more realistic. The HDR is spectacular in terms of highlights, but I kinda prefer the 1080 version because it's colors are more vibrant.

I have owned many 75 inch Sony tvs. 940d, 940e, 900e. The 940d was my first Sony and I fell in love instantly. Very good motion handling, very good local dimming, everything about it was awesome. But it had a single vertical band right in the center of the screen that I couldn't ignore. Upgraded to a 940e and it had an incredible picture but there was major trailing on any motion and I couldn't live with it so I sent it back and went with a 900e. Excellent motion and everything looked great. There was some pretty major blooming especially with HDR material but some bias lighting made it almost invisible. But I got a great deal on a z9d (the one I always wanted) and man, it blows them all away. The motion is not quite as smooth as on the 900e but WAY better than the 940e. No trailing at all. Just a little bit of smearing in certain scenes when you have something dark traveling across a light background. But it's not a huge deal by any stretch of the means and I am super sensitive to motion issues. The 75 in has a different panel than the 65 inch and the pixel response is faster. Local dimming is amazing. Even on a brightness level of 15 out of 50 I find my self squinting on some SDR content. HDR is incredible. With the current price drop, this is the 75 in to get. Especially if you like 3d, this set does awesome 3d, there is some flicker but it's not too bad.

Different panels
November 27, 2018
@JET83 This is hard to believe. I would like to see the source as I have owned a 940e and the reported pixel response time of the 65 z9d and 940e are very similar. The pixel response time on the 75 z9d has 0 trailing even with a dark object on a light background and the 940e exhibited TONS of trailing. These were not examples I had seen somewhere but tvs that i owned and had in my own home and was able to do lots of testing.

Different panels is not uncommon
November 28, 2018
@JET83
Differnt panels is not all that uncommon for different size screens even within the same models. Example- The Sony 850c had a VA panel on all screen sized except 75 which was an IPS panel
The Visio M series in 2016 had a 120hz panel for all screen sizes except the 55 which was a 60hz panel. I asked you for a source citing that Sony confirmed that they used the same panel between sizes and your response was all the YouTube reviews said the same thing. I have given you 2 motion test videos on YouTube which clearly show a difference and in the comments section you can see the one with the trailing is a 65 and they state the 75 has a faster panel, and in the video with almost no trailing you can see it is a 75 and in the comments section you can see that there are owners of the 65 that also confirm a little bit of trailing.

I would like to ask the folks at best buy who review these comments before you decide to post them to allow the discussion between @JET83 and myself as I believe this is an important discussion to read for perspective owners as clearly the panels are different between the 65 and 75 in variants of the Sony z9d.

Input lag and pixel response are not the same
December 29, 2018
@JET83
You're confusing pixel response and input lag. 2 different things my man. Pixel response is how long it takes the pixels to transition from one color to another, not how long it takes to react to input...You are dead wrong on this. TVs have different panels for different sizes all the time. IT's well known that the 65 and 75 have different response times. Read the AVSforums. Look at the rtings review. The 65 has a similar response time as the 940e which also had widely reported motion issues. I'm not sure what else I can tell you other than you are wrong and the panels are indeed different. You may not notice anything but that doesn't mean the panels aren't different.

Different panels
January 2, 2019
You are a liar just like rtings. You said Sony confirmed the 2 had different panels. I asked you for proof and you gave nothing. You are a troll and trolling right now. Again, it is not uncommon for different size tvs to have different panels. Some of Vizios panels are 60hz and 120hz for the same model but different sizes. The Sony 850c used a VA panel for every screen size except the 75 which was IPS.
You don't own a 75 so by your own logic you would have no idea. There are too many examples out there of the 65 in having a slower pixel response than the 75. Did you even look at the 2 YouTube links in my prior comment? I do believe rtings has a hard on for OLEDs, but the numbers they use in their measurements are not made up and do line up with user experience.
We can put an end to this debate right now if you provide a source where Sony said the panels of the 2 sizes are the same. If you cannot produce that, you admit to lying and the discussion is over. Have a nice day.

I am a part of that forum dude...And all shark said is that there's no motion problems (for him) I never said the 65 was bad, just that the 75 has a different panel. Spend some more time reading through the forum. You'll find a few owners that have a 75 and 65 that will verify that. I have been on the forum for a long time. You still never posted where Sony verified that they use the same panels...Because they never did.

Hi there. I have the same exact sound bar and use a Sony x700 UHD player. After the Dolby Vision/Dolby Atmos update, I get audio drop outs watching 4k blu rays on the Sony x700. Have you noticed any audio dropouts using this player when watching 4k HDR discs since the Atmos update?

3 out of 5Returned for LG C9

Had this tv for two weeks, excellent picture quality, excellent upscaling, ok operating system, HDMI 2.0, dim Dolby Vision: The main reason I returned this tv was because every time I turned the eARC on the tv would go into standby mode, black screen with Bravia logo, I found one other person on the AVS forum that had the same problem. I contacted Sony and they could not help, the geek squad came to the house and they could not solve, I even did a factory reset and that didn’t work. The only way I could watch tv without it going into standby was to turn eARC to off. I have an eARC compatible sound bar so I wanted this feature to work, for what I paid for this tv I expected everything to work, so I decided to exchange for the 77’ LG C9. Best Buy was excellent, this was a return/exchange/upgrade, they came and removed the the AG9 and set up the C9, I also purchased Tech Support for one year as well as the five year extended warranty. The C9 is an excellent tv, the picture quality and the upscaling aren’t as good as the Sony, but very close, in my opinion. The C9 also has HDMI 2.1 and the eARC works flawlessly with my sound bar, love the C9 operating system too. I think the Sony A9G is an excellent tv, I just happened to get a defective panel, I also think their Dolby Vision is dim, the C9 is brighter.

Is eARC necessary?
May 19, 2020
Is there a particular reason you "have" to use eARC? Do you have all of your devices plugged into the TV and just a single cable running to the sound bar? Does your sound bar allow for inputs to connect to it. The reason I ask is that because the ONLY advantage of eARC over standard ARC is that you can transmit lossless Dolby Atmos vs Lossy Dolby Atmos. Streaming services do not use lossless. So unless you have to have all your external devices plugged directly into the TV rather than into your soundbar you don't need eARC. Also, you have a sound bar. It's highly unlikely you'd be able to tell the difference between lossy and lossless Atmos with a soundbar. I have a soundbar as well - Nakamichi Shockwafe. Best Atmos sound bar you can buy. Can't tell much of a difference...

Driven by XR Backlight Master Drive, thousands of tiny, high-density Mini LEDs in precisely controlled zones create unprecedented dynamic range that makes your content burst to life with deep blacks, natural colors, and phenomenal brightness.
Why has Sony not abandoned X Wide Angle? The hit to contrast and blooming might be worth it if it massively improved viewing angles, but it barely improves them. Please abandon it. All I own are Sony tvs, but I haven't bought a new one in years.
