Sony XR70 review, has it been upgraded after the Mini LED?

author:Blue Immortals

XR70On the day of arrival, it happened that the image quality engineer of a large factory was also here, and I was invited to watch it together, and the engineer exclaimed after reading it: This can't be an IPS screen, right??

This year, Sony's new products are a little late,The naming method is completely different,And compared with the previous generation of products,There has also been a very significant improvement in hardware,I don't know if it has become more generous due to the influence of the crazy volume configuration of domestic TV brands,But the pricing is still Sony's taste,It's really not cheap。

XR70Although it is the lowest grade product in this year's new products, the configuration is not bad, it is basically a high-end level, compared with the previous generation X90L series, the improvement is more obvious, let's make a simple summary:

The XR70 is currently available in 55/65/75/85 sizes

1. Backlight and partition upgrades

Upgrading from ordinary backlight to Mini LED backlight, the backlight partition has also reached hundreds, which is basically upgraded tenfold, and the specific number is as follows

480 for 65 inches, 612 for 75 inches, 760 for 85 inches, and the number of 55 inches is not clear.

2. Peak brightness upgrade

Boosted from 1300 nits to 2000 nits peak.

3. Color gamut upgrade

From the wide color gamut of phosphor to the wide color gamut of blue quantum dots, the color gamut range has also been significantly improved.

4. Hardware upgrade

(1) SOC upgrade, the new product is equipped with MediaTek P1000 chip (A73 quad-core 2.0GHz)

(2) Upgrade the running memory to 6GB

(3) Support WIFI6 protocol

5. Game console adaptability upgrade

For console games, the new Dolby Vision game mode is supported, which is user-friendly to XSX.

7Series hundreds of partitions,9Series thousands of partitions,In fact, it shows that multi-zone high brightness plays an important role in improving the picture quality of LCD TV,In the past, the lack of partitions was purely due to Sony's stinginess,Not useless,Normally,The number of Sony light control partitions has been greatly increased,Light control algorithm upgrade,Peak brightness increase,It should be able to significantly improve the contrast of the picture,Three-dimensional sense,Even the brightness of the picture,The upgrade of the picture effect should be obvious,But we compared with the previous generationX90L,We didn't feel this improvement,Let's continue to look down on the specific comparison of real shots。

注:XR70和X90L均为自购。

Design:

The front three-sided narrow bezel full-screen design, with a brightness sensor and a color temperature sensor in the middle of the bottom edge, is used to automatically adjust the brightness and color temperature of the picture according to the ambient light. It comes standard on high-end machines.

The design of the tripod is very good, the all-metal in-line type, the materials can be used, there are no screws, it is very convenient, and the base is flat this year, which is also stable enough.

Sony has designed four tripod mounting methods to meet the needs of different scenarios, which is still more intimate.

The frame is made of metal material integrated bending process, the surface is smooth, and the workmanship of materials is also OK.

The fuselage is not slim, and it is still a little thick with ordinary hangers hanging on the wall, and the high-end machine looks much better if it is made slim.

The back checkered pattern symbolizes the Mini LED backlight, left and right channels, and the built-in center channel, but there is no subwoofer.

In terms of hardware configuration:

Using MediaTekP1000 chip,A73Quad core2.0GHz,Strong performance,With6GBMergymemory,It's definitely super high,But the storage space can only be said to be enough32GB,Support wifi6 protocol,But unfortunately, the maximum speed of wifi is still only300Mbps,Similarly,The wired network port is still 100 megabits。 There is no change in the port, but the independent optical fiber interface channel is integrated into other ports. Dolby Vision and Atmos are supported, as well as DTSX. Sony is still a cow in the end, not engaged in Dolby Vision IQ, not according to Dolby standards, has its own color adjustment scheme in Dolby Vision mode, and does not engage in filmmaker mode, pushing its own professional film studio calibration mode and (Tencent Video) Aurora calibration mode, which is very confident.

Therefore, the P1000 chip may not add any other functions except for strong performance, such as Gigabit Ethernet ports or four full-blooded HDMI2.1.

And this year, Sony's new models are not certified by Netflix.

The port is not introduced, just look at the picture by yourself (the independent optical fiber port is gone):

Hardware image quality processing technology:

XR70 still uses Huaxing OptoelectronicsVASsoft screen,At that time, I seriously doubted whether I used a very poor screen,The result is not,Get internal confirmation,The quality of the screen itself is very good (screen model ST6451D07-f),Native contrast7000:1,But after allXR70It is the lowest grade product this year,So it is not equipped with a low reflection film and a wide viewing angle film,It may be affected by reflective problems in a bright living room,I think it should be sold so expensively on a low reflection film,The experience improvement is still relatively obvious。 It doesn't matter if the wide-viewing angle film is not available, at least the XR90 will have.

After all, Mini LED is backlit, there is no longer the problem of dimming the four corners, the backlight uniformity is also very good, and there is no problem of light leakage and dirty screen.

Screen Peak Brightness:

High brightness can provide support for picture contrast/three-dimensionality/brightness explosiveness/anti-reflection,Sony didn't squeeze toothpaste this year,The improvement is still relatively obvious,Standard mode peak brightness1500nits,Vivid mode1800nits,According to Sony,It can be up to2000nits。 It's still more powerful.

Number of partitions:

This year, on the Mini LED backlight,For XR70It has brought a tenfold increase in the number of partitions,Not too outdated,65The number of partitions is30*16=480,Theoretically, the contrast will be improved a lot,The picture control black and gray is better,The black is deeper,But let's look at the actual comparison for the specific effect。

Color gamut range:

This timeXR70 is directly on the blue light quantum dot wide color gamut,It is equivalent to saying that it is also QD-Mini LED backlight,The color gamut range is really okay,It can reach97%DCI-P3,It's better than the previous X90L phosphor。

Image quality chip:

It is still an independent image quality chip XR, with a little upgrade of the image quality algorithm. Anyway, it's still the same sentence, don't look at the chip to look at the algorithm, look at the actual effect.

Screen Refresh Rate:

Or the native 120Hz screen,With motion compensation can achieve a smoother motion picture,With game consoles or computersHDMI2.1You can achieve4K 120HzPlay games,At the same time, it supports24P no jitter function,More practical。

Then many people will care about the dimming frequency, and the actual measurement is still 720Hz, which is the same as the previous generation. There may be variations in different scenarios, but only lower and not higher.

Console support:

There is not much change, there is an upgrade, that is, the new chip supports 120Hz Dolby Vision game mode, which can pass XSX video information detection.

Actual image quality performance:

Black Control Effect:

Under normal circumstances, the XR70's 10-fold increase in light control zones (480) will bring better black control to this product, but we actually look at it from two aspects:

The first is the black control demo film, such as Sony's own Las Vegas demo film or Samsung's circus demo film, XR70's black control can be described as a mess, I can't bear to look at it directly, even if you look at it head-on, you can have a halo problem visible to the naked eye, and even the dark details are even worse.

The second is in the ordinary movie and TV series picture,XR70The black control effect is good,There is basically no halo in the normal picture,But I found that the picture is obviously depressed brightness,Obviously the hardware brightness is higher than X90L,But the picture is darker,So that the dark details have also deteriorated,It is suspected that it was deliberately done to suppress the halo。

Bright field dark field details:

The bright field detail performance is similar to that of the X90L, it should be, but the dark details will be a little worse than the X90L, and the possible reasons are mentioned above.

Three-dimensional performance:

Sony's three-dimensional picture performance is still great when viewed alone,But after comparing XR70 and the previous generationX90L together,XR70It does not show the higher picture brightness and better picture three-dimensional sense that Mini LED and high brightness should have,At least it can't be seen with the naked eye,Even the overall brightness is not as good as X90L。

Loading...

Color and skin tone performance:

Sony's color consistency is still very good, and if there is a difference, there are some differences, but it's not very noticeable, and in Dolby Vision mode, the XR70's skin tones will be more reddish. In SDR and HDR mode, the X90L's skin tones are a bit redder.

I won't talk about the rest of the same.

Summary:

SonyXR70As a Mini LED TV with hundreds of partitions,The brightness increase is also relatively large,There is a good hardware foundation,But compared with the previous generation of dozens of partitionsX90LCompared with the previous generation, there is no obvious picture quality advantage,The more conspicuous halo problem under the demonstration film,There is no obvious improvement in the brightness of the picture and the three-dimensional sense of the picture,Even the dark details that have deteriorated,Let me be a little disappointed,It's hard to sayMini It's lonely,Since the picture effect is almost the same,Why don't you buy the old X90L。
