Gene, you mentioned that you would share your basic settings. From an informational/learning standpoint, this would be extremely helpful.. Please don't forget!! Thanks!!

I'm the type of guy that always when I got my TV's. I always got Sony's. There's something about Sony TV's with the clarity. The detail of the picture it just pops like you do the comparisons to like Samsung and LG. Isn't they're all right, but nothing and I mean nothing compares the Sony. The way they pop their detail in the picture quality. The clarity is absolutely phenomenal. And just imagine watching 4K content. I'm talking a 4K movie massive. I got the 85 inch. Absolutely phenomenal

Unfortunately, do not see the post calibration settings in the description . Be helpful as an information point - not as copy point. Plus had the opportunity to meet and discuss calibration with Joel Silver and Joe Kane.

Where is the link you mentioned at the 4:31 mark about what settings to change as soon as you take the tv out of the box?

[appearnowappearlater]

Jason’s the real deal, does great work.

I have a serious question. Why is there no snake oil in video? No "these cables will improve your color saturation" or "you need these thousand dollar cable risers to improve the clarity of your screen" or even "these power cables will enhance the depth of your black level" can you please make a video on this subject.

Great video. You guys are taking it to another level. Any chance Sony OLED can be next?

[ronaldvecchione]

I just got this TV in today. It was a bitch of a time to put up on the wall but well worth the money. It is absolutely amazing for the movie. They were kind of making in the living room, but it's like It feels like you're actually in a theater. Because it's so big, en massive in the pitch. Equality and clarity, if you're watching something in 4K. Pops, everything comes out. The detail everything it's just absolutely phenomenal

4:33 Where's this video at? You guys didn't list it

[greenhill]

Where did you say we can find your post calibration settings? sorry if I missed it.

[bigcat]

7:22 that’s why my seller said that I don’t need calibration. I think I’m gonna get one anyway

[greenhill]

In the previous video you guys discussed "Motionflow - soap opera"... Would have loved it if he/you had touched on Sony's "Cinemotion" settings... And also his/your thoughts using Sony's built-in Netflix "calibration mode", which I think looks amazing.. Thanks again for the content.. PS... still waiting for your settings ;)

[Quicksilver]

This was sooo helpful! Now the real question, how do I find a professional tv calibrator in my area. Is this a dyeing profession?

[mauriceshivers]

0:03 having trouble finding the link for changing basic settings out of the box…thank you.

[madcrabber]

Where can you get trained to do this? Is there a certification process?

[chuckmaddison]

I have a Samsung about a year old UHD and all. I also have an old LG plasma. The detail of the Samsung is great, but the color saturation and black on the LG can't be beaten.

Tbh I seen the video where he adjusted the settings. I also have a Sony led. Got to save, unfortunately for an oled I want as I been buying that much other stuff. But actually tbh I copied the picture settings that was used over to my tv and it did improve my overall picture settings. Only thing I had to change was he had the gamma down to -2. Was a bit much. -1 was enough. Makes me look forward to watching more stuff on it. Hoping to go through squid game again (awaiting series 2). But just want to say albeit different room and different model number of sony tv. The settings still helped me. One thing a while back someone said if you dontbhave your contrast abd brightness up full you are not getting the best from your Sony tv. That's got to be wrong as reducing them both (i think brightness is 38 and contrast about 96 now)...everything is slightly sharper and blacks look a ton better. (I believe that gamma setting really made a big difference)

Maybe I missed it but typical cost would have been good information.

Backlit LED is always a problem. It is still bit too blue even with yellow phosphorous coating on, the calibrator device still showing excessive blue and I can notice it with my eyes. Even ISF mode, film maker mode, movie mode, expert in Sony are not perfect either.

One of most hard tv calibration is x90k if u could do it u will save many life of people buy x90k😢
