We compare and review the picture quality between the Sony A1 (also marketed as the A1E in the USA) vs the LG C7 2017 OLED TV.

Unfortunately due to logistics, we couldn't get our hands on the same screen size at the same time: the Sony A1 is the 65-inch KD-65A1, whereas the LG C7 is the 55-inch OLED55C7V. Still, most of the findings should apply.

*Note: Slight differences in luminance and colour could not be avoided due to camera dynamic range, exposure and angle. Please refrain from making judgement on picture quality based on screenshots in this video.

To demonstrate why it's pointless to judge picture quality from photos or videos posted online, we compare the sound quality of the three best-sounding OLED TVs on the market today, including the Sony A1 with its Acoustic Surface technology, the Loewe bild 7 with its integrated soundbar, and Panasonic EZ1002 with its Dynamic Blade Speaker system.

Conclusion

The Bravia A1 is an OLED masterclass from Sony. True, the Japanese manufacturer has experience with professional OLED broadcast monitors, but it’s still fascinating to see how the company used every ounce of its video processing expertise to extract the most from OLED panels with a different subpixel layout (WRGB vs RGB) that are sourced from a third party (LG Display).

We’ve tested 2017 OLED TVs from LG, Panasonic and Sony side by side in a comprehensive manner – all of them are fantastic displays, though one might do some things better than the other two, and vice versa. The aces up Sony’s sleeves are class-leading upscaling, suppression of posterisation and least-artefact-prone motion interpolation, thanks to the KD-65A1′s X1 Extreme processor and [Smooth Gradation] super bit-mapping technology.

Perhaps the highest compliment we can pay to the Sony A1 is that it’s the most forgiving OLED that makes the best of all types of content, even ropey, bit-starved ones. With the promise of Dolby Vision support to come, the Bravia KD-65A1BU is a must-audition for anyone in the market for a large-screen television this year.

We do a professional video review of the Sony A1 OLED TV (also marketed as the Bravia A1E in the USA) after performing calibration and technical analysis. Includes demonstration of HDR tone-mapping, & measurements of input lag for playing games.

The specific model tested was the 65-inch Sony KD-65A1.

We've received a Sony XE94 (also marketed as the Bravia X940E in the USA) for review, but couldn't do an unboxing video.

So we explained some improvements that Android 7.0 Nougat update brought to Android TV, & also how to get the best picture quality from Sky Q on the television.

Sony KD-75XE9405 4K HDR TV Review

xe94.jpg


The Sony XE94 is undoubtedly an upgrade over last year’s XD94, offering significantly more FALD (full-array local dimming) zones, higher peak brightness, and upgraded X1 Extreme chipset with future Dolby Vision support and superior upscaling over its predecessor. In terms of image quality, the downsides were some dark trailing and narrower viewing angles owing to the VA LCD panel used, higher 1080p input lag, and if we had to nitpick, its colours didn’t appear as explosively dynamic as Samsung’s top-end QLED.
But contrast ratio is the most important factor that decides ultimate picture quality, and in this respect, the Sony KD75XE9405BU delivered in spades. Ironically, the main threat to the TV is the company’s own 75in ZD9 which is blessed with even higher peak brightness and number of dimming zones. The latter does cost £1500 more though, and we suspect many prospective buyers will be happy to go with the XE9405 and pocket the difference.
Unless another TV brand (or even Sony themselves) spring a surprise launch at the IFA Berlin trade show in September, the Bravia KD-75XE9405 is a shoe-in for the best 2017 LED LCD as far as picture performance is concerned.

We do a professional, scientific review of the Sony XE94 (also marketed as the Bravia X940E in the USA) using technical analysis & objective measurements (such as input lag).

With 256 local dimming zones & 1285 nits of peak brightness, the Sony XE9405 is certainly the front-runner for the best 2017 LED LCD in terms of picture quality, especially for HDR (high dynamic range) content.

We compare the picture quality between the Sony A1 (also marketed as the Bravia A1E in the USA) versus the Panasonic EZ1002 (known as EZ1000 elsewhere in Europe) 2017 OLED TVs.

Each OLED TV has been calibrated for both SDR (standard dynamic range) and HDR (high dynamic range) to the common standards used within the film and broadcast industry.

Aspects compared include above-black handling, video processing, colour accuracy, motion, HDR and input lag.
