Did he provide objective measurements to prove his point at D65 white point, or it's just word of mouth? Can you provide a timestamp to where he says that?Maybe it has been posted elsewhere, but this guy has done a good video of settings to use on the X9000h (and probably on the X90J as well). He also says the Sony somehow isn't as conducive to brightness tests like other TVs and the nits reported by Rtings and other sites aren't exactly true as the TV can get quite a bit brighter in real world scenarios. His settings worked really well for me though, in case anyone is interested.
Brightness is brightness and you can objectively measure it. Rtings measure them in real-world scenes as well as at different picture levels. Also, they provide you results before and after calibration in some cases as well. Not to mention their numbers match with professionals like HDTVTest and all over the world. So I'd rather trust them.
The Sony A90J can hit 1300 nits on the vivid mode but once you calibrate it, it will go down to 800-900. And the C1/G1 can break 900 nits on vivid mode with dynamic tone-mapping as well, but the calibrated brightness is only 750-800 nits. That's what matters as I'm not going to make everything look blue in order to get a brighter picture.
