Sony vplvw385es VS JVC dlax750r VS JVC nx5

I currently have a JVC x750.
Been thinking it's time for an upgrade. I've found a decently priced Sony and have been looking at the nx5 for ease of HDR settings.

Room is dedicated and very dark.
Sources are an Nvidia shield, odroid c4 and PS4 . I was watch very few physical discs but have a Panasonic spinner for tone mapping.

Thoughts ?

If you watch few actual discs and most of your viewing is from streaming then the obvious choice is the NX5 as it's the only one with Tonal Mapping for everything, something MadVR can't do and the Sony is probably no better than the x750 at HDR plus you would be taking a major hit in black levels with the Sony.

Took the chance on the Sony.
It is super sharp compared to the JVC. HDR is much better too, the tone mapping in the Sony is on another level compared to the x750. It's definitely a step down in black levels, but overall I'm very impressed... The almost instant HDMI sync on the Sony males me pretty happy too. Plus I saved a couple thousand bucks compared to the nx5..
