hi
i am shopping (in Italy) for a new 65’‘ oled tv, and I have a preference for the Sony image, it looks more natural. For this reason, i completely ruled out LG, it looks like a chewing-gum. Issue with Sony: they seem to be way more expensive than competition. If I had the budget, obviously i’d go with the new A95L.
At the moment I am torn between Samsung (S90C or S95C), and Sony A90J or the A80L and A83L. (What would be the main differences with the A80/A83?)
Any recommendation? does it make sense to buy (at full price) the A90J, produced now more than 3y ago? the more I read, the more I am confused. Some say that the two samsung have the new panel, so there is no comparison. Others say A90J is a master series and therefore worth it, no matter the age. Other say that the A80 has also some improvements over the A90j, so better to have the newer one even if it belongs to a lower series. Samsung: i read that their OS is a bit messy and not comparable to the Google system Sony has. very confusing… any suggestion is highly appreciated. I use it for movies (new and old), streaming, general tv. (NO games).
R2 might be unavailable due to production lot-up, as its successor R3 is already out in the market more than for a year. Reviewing R3 might be a better idea.
Agreed, but aside from updated connectivity the R3 should be mostly the same. If anything they should consider the GX1 next. PS you can still get a branded version of the R2 from Konami’s subbrand Arespear (using a proxy if outside Japan)
I’d love to see acoustic measurements.
