I got 1 two months ago, not bad for its price. With all the TVs around, the affordable prices & features presently its very hard to choose one. I got this one coz the functions was just comparable to my OLED model, not w/ the picture quality though but not really that far. Great for non-stop daily use so far as I sleep w/ the TV on till morning.

Their 75" and 86" variants are priced quite appealingly.

What's the difference between the Sony X850J and X850DJ (Abenson Exclusive)? I asked the Abensons sales guy and he was not able to give an answer.

Abenson's versions are usually a little bit nerfed compared to the non-exclusive variety (same is true for SM exclusive models).  Truth be told, I don't know if this particular model got the same treatment.

Personally, I only go for Abenson's TV's if there is a really really good sale or bundle offer.  In Ansons you can typically haggle for a lower price if you pay in cash.

Its available again. Saw it on their website.  Will pass by Abenson to take a look

Is this the same as UN7300? Parang ang nakita ko main difference is yun type of stand na gamit. Saw one in kanina in SM @ Php38,394 for cash/straight. Sulit na ba ito? Thanks

That's what I thought as well. However, when I haggled for the lowest price for the Sony X850J and X90J. Abenson actually quoted a lower price vs Ansons. This was in their Trinoma branches btw.

what you can do is get prices sa carousel app and fb marketplace. ung pinakamura, tpos punta ka s shops. inquire. then if mas mataas price ipakita mo screenshots ng nakita mo, some of them willing mag price match ung abenson alabnag town center willing. with free delivery pa minsan.

right now cheapest x90j i found is 62,300 55" 79,500 65".

Anyone have experience with the LG Nanocell TVs? Does it make sense to buy this in lieu of LG OLEDs if one finds the price of the latter  too high? or regular LCD TVs na lang na 4k, full array?

The 2020 49" model is being sold at 32,990 in SM appliance.

I have a nano cell top of the line 55-inch 2017 model ... sulit naman and I'm very satisfied with the picture quality ... yung mga expert reviews however were not that good as they tend to give more emphasis on the black levels of the OLED tv's ... for a bright living room tv, the nano cell tv's are really good ... reason I bought that model is that you can really see the picture difference compared to standard LED models when side by side at Ansons in Cash N Carry

I'm thinking of including the  2020 or 2021 Nano Cell in my short list  (along with the 2021 55C1 OLED)  if I can't get a 2020 55CX OLED anymore. I'm not sure I want to spend 70-80K yet on a TV haha (which is what the 55C1 costs).

hirap na siguro availability ng CX dahil binagsak yung presyo paglabas ng C1 ... around 3 weeks ago I was contemplating on getting a 65CX OLED at Ansons, may nauna sa akin na mag-asawang senior citizens, akala ko walang alam sa tech ng tv, but after they tested some units, they bought three 65CX models, hence they practically decided for me not to buy the 65CX at that day, inubos nila yung stock doon sa store ... wait na lang ako for a few months before getting an upgrade, pag nag-discount na yung 2021 models :)

mababa score nya kasi wla local dimming for darkscenes and yung brightness is not high which is a requirement to show specular highlights. sabi dn sa video; strength nya is accuracy sa midtones and  not hdr, sony x90j if u want proper hdr, or oled po. pero ibang presyohan na hehe

I prefer going to an appliance store and comparing the models I'm targeting and decide from there ... my current tv is an LG Nano Cell from 2017 - I was very impressed with the picture quality comparing it side-by-side other tv's when I bought it, and I'm still very impressed and satisfied up to now ... after purchasing it, I tried searching the Internet for recommended settings and came across a lot of expert reviews including rtings saying that the picture quality is bad and not recommended buying it - not sure if they reviewed a different tv or my taste is totally different ... last week while looking at the new models, I came across the new Sony X90J and was really impressed, I haven't purchased it yet as I'm several months away for an upgrade, but to my surprise, the expert reviews are again not so good on that tv, hence I only use those reviews to short list the models that I consider, but the final decision is still what i observe is good for me for viewing

I am also seeing mixed reviews on the X90J.  I saw it side by side with an X80J, and the highlights on the X90J really stood out. Then I saw this review https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=n9X4szFvmfY

He has at least 4 videos thrashing the X90J.

Not sure if I should take his review seriously vs Rtngs'.
