The 8 Best 80+ Inch TVs On The Market Right Now – SlashGear

It’s hard to go wrong with any model in Sony’s Bravia XR range, and the X95K 85-inch is the biggest of the bunch. The brand’s XR processing technology analyzes every frame and highlights areas of the image where it thinks viewers are most likely to look, rather than simply optimizing based on color or contrast. The X95K is one of few TVs of its size to utilize mini LED technology, an alternative to using OLED. Traditional LEDs have struggled to produce the same perfect blacks as OLED panels, since they require backlighting, while OLED does not. To solve this, Sony has used mini LEDs, which give greater dimming control over each area of the screen. This helps to reduce light from brighter areas ‘bleeding’ into darker areas, creating a deeper, richer image, and putting Sony’s Bravia XR range right up there in picture quality with the best of the OLED TVs.

If you can hold out a little while longer, Sony recently announced an overhaul of its 2023 XR range, set to release soon, although there’s no concrete release date for now. In addition to adding extra processing power, this update spells good news for PlayStation 5 gamers, with options to adjust the level of VRR and Motion Blur Reduction, and a redesigned Game Menu. For now, the top performer in the Bravia XR range remains the X95K, which is on sale for $3,998 on Amazon at the time of writing.
