Go for the Sony Bravia 5 98 inch. I bought it two months ago and it’s really great and as you want a Sony tv with all of its processing advantages and jumping to 98 inch tv, it’s the best combination of both out of those TVs listed and the reason I got it as well.
Trying to decide if a Bravia 5 is the best deal for a 65 inch The Bravia 5 is heavily discounted right now, and Sony is giving another $100 off if you sign up for emails. My living room is probably too bright for an OLED. I'll probably mostly use it for streaming and casual gaming on the Switch 2 and Xbox series X. Are there any better deals close to the $1000 mark for my needs? I'm tempted to wait longer for more sales, but current events make me think prices will go up. Bravia 5 Bravia 5
In my experience, Mini LED looks better in a well lit common room, and OLED is better for a low-light den or bedroom. Sony Bravia image processing is still the best though.
Thr Sony Bravia 5 is your best bet for sports. Its better than the X90L being newer and mini led and Sony is unmatched in processing and motion handling.
Actually, from what I understand, the Bravia 5 in the 98" size is appreciatably better than its smaller sizes. From the distances you advise, still a good picture what with Sony processing, a good deal. In your position I'd definitely get it.
Sony for sure the upscaling is much better and the 98" Bravia 5 is better than the smaller versions for some reasons it's even different in ratings
