On today’s You Asked: Should you choose a 77-inch A95L or a 65-inch Bravia 8 Mark II? Will the upcoming iPhone 17 Air have poor battery life? And, is burn-in still an issue with the latest OLED TVs?
Best 55-Inch TV Options
Peter asks: What’s the best choice for a 55-inch TV, OLED or mini-LED?
This question can be interpreted in two ways: Is OLED better than mini-LED at this size? Or what is simply the best option for a 55-inch TV, nonetheless of type?
Let’s tackle the second question first. When it comes to overall quality, I believe that OLED TVs are superior. They provide excellent HDR performance and stunning picture quality. The deep blacks and high contrast make them stand out when compared side by side with other types.
If you’re leaning towards an OLED, consider pricing and availability as well. Recently, Sansui launched a budget-kind 55-inch OLED model running Google TV for just $799. This could be your best bet if you're looking for affordability without sacrificing too much quality.For slightly higher prices, check out LG's C4 and C5 models (2024 and 2025) along with Samsung's S90D and S90F options from those same years. May is frequently enough when great deals on last year's models appear. The differences between these top-tier TVs are usually minor; saving money while getting similar features makes sense.
If you want top-of-the-line options,look into LG's G4 or G5 models or Panasonic's Z95A along with Samsung's S95D or S95F variants. Keep in mind that some Samsung models come with anti-reflection screens which can affect viewing experiences differently based on personal preference.
choosing Size Wisely
Billy writes: I’m considering adding the Sony A95L (77 inches) to my home theater but heard about the Sony Bravia 8 Mark II which only goes up to 65 inches.Should I stick with the A95L?
I reccommend going for the A95L without hesitation if size matters most to you in your home theater setup. The Bravia may not meet your needs due to its smaller size; settling for less could lead to disappointment later on.
Sony excels in picture processing technology; even though the A95L is two years old now, it still competes well against newer models thanks to its impressive performance.
In our previous studio setup, we frequently enough returned to using the A95L after testing other TVs as it consistently impressed us every time we watched something on it.
To wrap up peter’s inquiry—if I had to pick between a Sony OLED at 55 inches versus going larger with an older model like A95L—I’d save $1,300 by choosing that instead of opting for Bravia Mark II.
Comparing Samsung S95D vs LG G4
Yodito asks: Which is better—the Samsung S95D or LG G4? The former costs $300 less where I live.
This question highlights two popular choices among new releases from this year—both are fantastic options! Generally speaking, I'd lean toward whichever saves more money unless there are significant drawbacks involved.
However, one potential downside of choosing Samsung lies in its matte coating designed specifically to reduce reflections—a feature worth considering depending on where you'll place your TV.
If light conditions might create distracting reflections during viewing sessions then go ahead with Samsung! But if you're setting up in darker spaces then personal taste will play a bigger role hear as both brands deliver excellent visuals overall!
Addressing burn-In Concerns
Steve writes: Is burn-in still an issue nowadays? Emmanuel adds: What about screen burn-in—isn’t that outdated now?
While I'm not an expert on burn-in issues per se—it has become less concerning over time due largely advancements made within display technologies themselves!
Many modern OLEDs include smart features aimed at minimizing risks associated such as Pixel Shift settings found within certain brands like Samsung which subtly shifts images around preventing static displays lingering too long causing potential damage over time!
LG also offers similar protective measures including Screen Shift adjustments alongside Logo luminance controls ensuring longevity remains intact throughout usage periods! Plus they provide warranties covering panel replacements making purchases feel safer overall!
When my parents replaced their living room television recently—I hesitated recommending them an OLED given their love watching sports programming featuring static elements—but ultimately suggested one anyway as they looked so good visually—and thankfully they’ve been enjoying their new set ever since without any signs of trouble arising thus far!
Battery Life Worries
@turbodat asks whether we should expect poor battery life from iPhone17 Air?
the short answer seems likely yes—but keep usage habits into account here too! Reports suggest Apple anticipates shorter lifespans compared previous versions indicating only around sixty-seventy percent users might get through full days comfortably—which falls below earlier expectations seen previously across prior iterations released before now!
To help combat these concerns Apple may reintroduce MagSafe battery packs allowing extra power boosts throughout daily activities even though attaching such devices would negate thinness benefits touted initially making things complicated altogether…
Samsung plans launching GalaxyS25 Edge soon providing real-world examples regarding how modern phones perform under similar circumstances so stay tuned there folks!
Revival Of Physical Keyboards
@axiomfinity expresses desire seeing mini physical keyboards return again—good news indeed—they already have made comebacks via companies producing cases integrating physical keys compatible various smartphones including iPhones & Motorola Razr foldables alike offering refined typing experiences worth checking out today!
