Doesn't this include 3D audio for regular speakers now? Curious how well those would work.
I put my SSD in today and it took just under 4 minutes from when I unplugged the console to when I put the plate back on, it's VERY easy lol. It may take someone a little longer if they've never removed the plate before, the first time it is a little stiffer and you tend to baby it more than you have to, it came off much faster for me this time but still snaps on night and tight when you put it back.
Vincent Teoh is reporting via Sony that the new Sony 2022 TVs, such as the 4K OLED A90K, will have VRR at launch this spring.
He says there is also going to be a firmware update for PS5 to enable VRR.
"VRR at launch coinciding with the imminent arrival of VRR on the PS5 following a firmware update."

Its strange that the PS5 still doesn't have VRR support. I wonder if Sony is purposely delaying it on the console so their TVs can catch up. And yet Sony says the best TV to play the PS5 on is a Sony TV, lol. I'm playing Guardians of the Galaxy on PS5, a fun game with super simple gameplay and gorgeous graphics. That game has a lot of screen-tearing and it drives me nuts. If I pan the camera around to take in the beautiful environment there's constant tearing and yet this is all but gone when I game on the XSX since it supports VRR with my brand spanking new LG C1.
Sony TVs have great picture but still lack the features their competitors offer at a lower price. The prestige of the Sony branded TV is not what it once was for me. I will say anyone looking to get a new TV especially an OLED should take into account their viewing environment. If placed in a room where you can limit natural light and reflections then OLED will be great but if not look for a model with an anti-reflective panel.

I would probably go with the A90K, newer tech, brighter and it has 2 2.1 ports from what I've read.
Oh I forgot to tell you...
It only goes up to 65 inches.
The 95K is using the BMD(back light master drive) and I am super intrigued...
They only just got announced right? I shudder to think, 65 inch A90J would cost me almost 5.5k, prices do fluctuate a bit and could get a couple hundred off.
I am afraid to find out.
My TV that also uses the BMD cost me $8k for 75 inches.
The BMD is expensive tech, this is why Sony stopped using it.
Hopefully the costs have came down since when they first started using it.
That's just in my country we usually pay just under double the US price, it's a big commitment buying any piece of tech.
Their LED tv's still have the best overall picture when compared to LED's from other manufacturers IMO but yeah it'd be nice if they could bring their prices down a bit.
From what I've read and seen Sony's OLED TVs are also considered to be among the best in terms of picture quality. But they are pricier and lag behind in features and their advantage in picture quality is really small which is why I think so many consider other manufacturers.
In my limited research when I was looking for a new TV I was surprised to read that all OLED panels are made by one company, LG Electronics. All other OLED manufacturers like Sony and Vizio purchase from them and then include their own electronics and design of their TVs. Its interesting that only one company in the world produces these panels and yet we get very different displays from these companies.
Yeah, Sony has better processing etc but the panels come from LG. They will be releasing a quantum dot OLED tv later this year but the panel will be made by Samsung.

Whoa, thanks for this. It was a great read and also shines a light at just how fast things keep changing/improving. We still have to see how QD-OLED performs in comparison LG's flagship model. And LG is also rolling out its EX Tech this year so its going to be interesting to see how they all stack up. As the article points out Sony is still going to be using LG's panels for their other OLEDs which highlights just how firm a grip both LG & Samsung have on the industry.
One thing I don't understand about Sony. Why is it they only provide 2 HDMI 2.1 ports instead of 4 like LG? It makes no sense not to match the competition especially when asking for a higher price.
