@stevevivian59 They were read aloud, but I’ve heard that at least one was inaccurate, so I’m waiting until they’re officially posted before announcing.

@High_Def_News Do you have category scores? What improvements did Samsung make to put them over the top?

@RetroNukleon It’s not a deal breaker for me, but I totally understand if it is for other people.

@High_Def_News I will never buy a Samsung TV that doesn't support Dolby Vision. Samsung is fine for people who mainly watch news on TV.

@The_Display_Guy That’d be great, but I wouldn’t even do a 2 point. Just pop them in their most accurate modes & judge them against a reference monitor. It’d hopefully force the manufacturers take OOTB accuracy more seriously.

@High_Def_News We definitely need an OOTB only shootout. I’d be ok with a simple 2 point white balance only to account for panel variance.

The S95H is a great TV, but I don’t think it deserves to be called the best. It’s processing is far behind Sony/TCL and even LG in my testing. I think this is a big deal for buyers and should not be overlooked. So far I believe the Bravia 8 II deserves best of the year again.

@SteveSmithskt8 I’m not happy they lost, but I’m glad Samsung won. It was clearly the best at the shootout today IMHO

@High_Def_News Glad Sony lost

@ahmada_76 @The_Display_Guy Dolby Vision isn’t a deal breaker for me, but that bezel is definitely atrocious

@High_Def_News @The_Display_Guy The lack of Dolby Vision and the damn frame they have makes the TV an easy NO for me, and at 83 inches it’s not even worth it. I love the Sony Bravia 9 and plan to move it to the family room and get the B9 mark 2

@Jennifergalatis @whisperstatus74 @FomoReviews I just saw one while I was at BBY last week. Congrats 👏🏻

Huge thanks for the shoutout, everyone! You're truly the best reviewers on YouTube, and yes, Jennifergala demos are featured on Sony TVs at Best Buy in the USA. A massive thank you to @whisperstatus74 and @FomoReviews for your unwavering support over the years. 🙏📺 #Gratitude #Reviewers #Demos #Support #tech

@The_Display_Guy That’s totally fair. I’ve been cheerleading for years to have OOTB measurements included in more reviews & shootouts too.

@High_Def_News I don’t agree with a calibrated TV shootout as almost no buyers will do this. I think out of the box the Bravia 8 II still has a slight edge.

@lawmf I’m not sure of the exact generation of each panel, but the Samsung was definitely using a newer panel than the Sony & it was noticeably evident in certain HDR content.

@High_Def_News Is it confirmed that Samsung is using a 5th generation OLED panel? The Sony Bravia 8 Mark II which was not upgraded this year and still has the 4th generation OLED panel won last year but lost this year. Sony will have to decide if it wants to stay and compete.

@April140504 Correct. I think it came in 2nd in the HDR category & 3rd in the SDR category with the S95H winning both.

@High_Def_News so lg g6 did come second place if exclude b9 ii lcd?

@Bigdogcashc0zr @lawmf Sony isn’t done with OLED. They have the Bravia 6 coming later this year & I fully expect at least one premium OLED offering from them next year if not two.

@lawmf @High_Def_News They made their bed with tcl just let them stay doing mini led while Samsung and lg continue to dominate oled

@D11dib @FomoReviews FYI x.com/High_Def_News/…

@High_Def_News @FomoReviews I expect the Sony Bravia 8 M2 to win for the second year in a row.

Just a reminder that the Value Electronics TV Shootout is happening tomorrow. I’ll be in attendance & will post the winners tomorrow. I’ll also give my subjective impressions of the sets early next week. Link: valueelectronics.com/wp-content/upl… #ValueElectronics #Sony #Samsung #LG

@yuliberk The results disagree… x.com/High_Def_News/…

@High_Def_News Winner: Bravia 8 M2 Runner Up: Samsung S95H 3rd Place: LG G6 LCD: Winner: Bravia 9 M2 Runner up: doesnt matter What a waste of time and money. This is a sponsored event to make SONY every time win. As much as you juggle with words, this is just all about Sony.

So it begins… #ValueElectronics #Sony #LG #Samsung

@auroraxiong878 @yuliberk I disagree & so do this year’s results… x.com/High_Def_News/…

@yuliberk @High_Def_News I watched this game. It seems that Sony spends every year.😨😨😨

@CECritic FYI x.com/High_Def_News/…

@High_Def_News I’m looking forward to everyone’s thought and the winner this year

Big shoutout to @RobertZohn & the Value Electronic’s crew for another fantastic shootout 👏🏻 #Sony #Samsung #ValueElectronics valueelectronics.com

@sluggo080976 I’m pretty sure it is a Tandem panel, but the one that won was a 65” QD-OLED, which means the winning attributes are not 100% applicable to the 83” model.

@High_Def_News All joking aside it looks amazing but there are 2 turn offs for me 83 inches I don’t believe it’s a tandem panel No DV

@Bigdogcashc0zr I told you it was a fair shootout. The Sony was just better in years past, but not this year. The S95H was a pretty clear winner IMHO.

@High_Def_News Whoo whoo bout time Sony got a spanking 😂 as for lcd I don’t do lcd so they can keep that award lol

@sluggo080976 Automatic bezel disqualification 😂

@High_Def_News I demand a recount Samsung needed to lose points on that bracket thing they added lol
