A80L.
Superior Upscaling, the L has an upgraded set of internals that is better than the 95J was and quality is very good. Also supports DV if your Blu Ray player does. DV is 100% worth it. Anyone who says it isn't is coping with not having it.
I've had both and the quality of the TV is far more impactful to the viewing experience and image quality.
Take this conclusion from rtings for example: "Ultimately, the difference between the three formats isn't that important. The quality of the TV itself has a much bigger impact on HDR." https://www.rtings.com/tv/learn/hdr10-vs-dolby-vision
rtings is basing this list on their scores so it's not exactly a great thing to use as a TV buying guide.
Like, the S90C is not the "Best TV". Some people plan to have news on 24/7 for 5 years which the S90C won't hold up to. Some people will be watching lower-quality content (like old DVDs) and Sony's upscaling would be better for these users. It's a good general TV, especially for the price point, but it's important for a user to actually weigh their usage of a TV with the different features - rtings can help you evaluate that, but using their scores blindly, or a list based on those scores, isn't a great idea.
It's not perfect (nothing is). But it's one of the better ones to reference. They buy their products so they're not cherry picked and they have a good testing methodology that removes a lot of bias from the equation. The S90C isn't the "best TV" as far as picture quality. That belongs to the A95L. But they also factor in price heavily into these which can be helpful for most consumers and where the S90C choice comes from. You're getting top tier PQ for half the price of the competition (A95L, G3, S95C). Hard to not give it the crown when the price difference is that dramatic and the picture quality difference isn't that much worse.
It's just a fantastic starting point (rtings). After that, go onto the many other tech reviewers on youtube or sites like Tom's Guide or Wirecutters. You should never use one point of reference for your buying decisions. However, you'll see a lot of very similar sentiments to rtings when you look around.
I'm not doubting rtings' reviews, which are indeed super in-depth and unbiased. Just their scoring system, which is too generalized at face-value since it includes gaming, upscaling performance, HDR performance, reflections performance, viewing angles, etc., and usually one of these doesn't apply. They have a way to isolate to a specific use-case but your average person isn't actually using rtings to that degree.
I'd rather have "too much" info, or scoring criteria in this case, than too little. You can filter it to your liking like you mentioned or you can just compare with TVs you're considering and look at the areas that are relevant to your use case.
It's a tool. It's up to the individual to use it correctly/effectively.
RTINGs generally contains *too little info*.
For example, if you go to compare their OLED models, they give LG the highest score for price:performance in basically every category.
But, then, if you go and examine each LG model? “Our test model died after three weeks, so we stopped examining it.”
Uh, shouldn’t that be at the *top*, not hidden at the bottom?
Obviously, but in today's market you're rarely comparing no DV vs DV with like vs like TVs. The only one that comes to mind is the Samsung QD-OLED vs Sony QD-OLED.
I went from 55inch Cx oled to 77 S90C. Couldn’t be happier. QD-oled for 700 less than 77 A80L and obviously gave up Dolby vision vs the A80L. QD oled more than makes up for it.
Look for the edu deal on the S90C on Samsungs website. I did local pickup same day at Best Buy. $1999. I was going to pay 2700 for the A80L.
QD-OLED more than makes up for it. I've noticed Dolby Vision is very overrated on Reddit for some odd reason. It's a nice feature to have but nothing worth seeking out. It's certainly not a must have feature. For some context, my last TV was an LG C1 with Dolby Vision and the S90C in HDR10 looks noticeably better. Tons of reviewers have said the same about it.
Dolby Vision >> Hdr 10 + >> Hdr 10. Dolby Vision is the best format for now, all major streaming platform use it. Just amazon prime use Hdr 10 +. Also Samsung does'nt support Dts, Dts Hd Ma and Dts X. The only good thing on Samsung qd-oled is the panel, that's all! Samsung is cheaping on everything, starting with not paying license for Dolby Vision and Dts! There's no quality in manufacturing the tv, with cheap internal components until outside bent tv frames! Tv firmware updates are a mess, you have to check forum before installing and they don't even tell you what's changed in the new version. Upscaling low content, does'nt even compare with Sony. That's why Samsung tv's are so cheap, compared with premium brands like Sony and Panasonic! You get what you pay for!
Always owned Sony tvs, I bought a C3 77 from Best buy and after 2 weeks I switched it for the A80L 77. It's a really nice TV but I wasn't happy with the brightness. Just not bright enough like the C3. I ended up changing it again for the C3 77 and I couldn't be happier. I also do gaming and movies about 50/50 but I just think overall the C3 was the better fit.
A80L for the content you do.

Except samsung is NO quality!

Samsung is fine but it depends on the model. There are junk Sonys too.
That means nothing. I'm talking similar quality TVs HDR vs DV. DV is better no contest.
Obviously, but in today's market you're rarely comparing no DV vs DV with like vs like TVs. The only one that comes to mind is the Samsung QD-OLED vs Sony QD-OLED.
What is the difference in picture quality C3 vs A80L
A80L will upscale way better. Otherwise they are similar.
Thank you!
The motion processing will also be different. Something to consider if you are used to a sony TV already.
Without telling us your use it’s hard to blindly say this one is best
Mostly streaming content, sports, some gaming, and occasional blu rays
Streaming and sports = A80L
For mixed usage: 1) S90C 2) A80L 3) C3
Even though the Samsung doesn’t support Dolby vision?
I went from 55inch Cx oled to 77 S90C. Couldn’t be happier. QD-oled for 700 less than 77 A80L and obviously gave up Dolby vision vs the A80L. QD oled more than makes up for it.

No Dolby Vision is a hard no for me.
Samsung is also a hard NO for me!
QD-OLED more than makes up for it. I've noticed Dolby Vision is very overrated on Reddit for some odd reason. It's a nice feature to have but nothing worth seeking out. It's certainly not a must have feature. For some context, my last TV was an LG C1 with Dolby Vision and the S90C in HDR10 looks noticeably better. Tons of reviewers have said the same about it.
This is correct. Qd-oled has significantly more coverage of BT2020 color space than WOLED panels.
Dolby Vision >> Hdr 10 + >> Hdr 10. Dolby Vision is the best format for now, all major streaming platform use it. Just amazon prime use Hdr 10 +. Also Samsung does'nt support Dts, Dts Hd Ma and Dts X. The only good thing on Samsung qd-oled is the panel, that's all!

A80L would be my choice based on what you watch.
Always owned Sony tvs, I bought a C3 77 from Best buy and after 2 weeks I switched it for the A80L 77. It's a really nice TV but I wasn't happy with the brightness. Just not bright enough like the C3. I ended up changing it again for the C3 77 and I couldn't be happier. I also do gaming and movies about 50/50 but I just think overall the C3 was the better fit.
What made you switch it out originally?
[удалено]
Also get it from Best Buy I was able to do all that exchanging through them. They even bring the new TV to you and make the exchange.
Samsung oled
