Questionso looking at this Sony model (850E) and the 750D which is 200.00 less expensive...any picture quality difference etc between the two?
Asked 7 years ago by ZoSoIV.
- Answer Yes the colors are deeper and vivid. Thanks to triluminous. It's like having a 24 pack of crayons vs a 8 pack.

QuestionI just purchased the 65' 850E and after attaching the stand, the top of the TV is slightly tilted back at the top! Is this normal? and is there an adjustment for this?
Asked 7 years ago by Mac.
- Answer Yes, this is normal. It is not adjustable. I may add a wooden spacer under the base with the back of the spacer slightly higher than the front. This would raise the TV high enough for a sound bar to set in front of the set and change the angle a little as well.

QuestionI can't decide between the 850E or the 900e. Need some insight on if it's worth another $400+ for the 900. Main use will be 4k movie watching and occasional gaming. Thanks!
Asked 7 years ago by Unfit327.
- Answer I had a 55" 900e in my house for about a month. The picture was great. The only problem is that it was too small for our living room. I returned it for a 65" 850e. I'm not enough of a techy to tell the difference between the full array display or edge lit. I'm happy I saved some money because I certainly can't tell the difference. The picture setting options are almost identical to the 900e. It sounds like you'll be using the TV exactly how I'm using mine. 4k viewing and occasional gaming. I'm happy I saved $400 and went with the 850e. You can buy a pretty good sounds bar with the money you saved and you WILL need one because the sound on any TV these days is awful. I bought the VIZIO - SmartCast 36" 5.1-Channel Soundbar System with 5" Wireless Subwoofer and Digital Amplifier. It costs around $200.

Questionwhat do i gain by getting 900E or 850E. Any noticable difference? besides the price difference ie around $450
Asked 7 years ago by hpforu.
- Answer The 850E lacks a handful of high end feature as compared to the 900E that may or may not be important to you. Specifically, the 850E lacks something called 'local dimming' which create deeper blacks. Deeper blacks create greater contrast and a every so slightly brighter picture. Having said that, the 4500:1 contrast ratio on the 850E should be more than sufficient for most viewers. If you watch a lot of true 4K content or have 4K gaming equipment, you might feel the difference is worth the extra money.

QuestionLast week a BB salesman told me Sony 850d TVs had HDR10 capability, and Dolby Vision was going away. Now I see at the BB website that the new Sony 65" 850E includes Dolby Vision . . . is that accurate, and will it handle HDR10 as well?
Asked 8 years ago by HankB.
- Answer So i did some research and found that only tvs with x1 extreme processor will get the update. And alas the 850 and even the 900 are not xtreme so they will not get dv update. Only the 930 and up .

QuestionPurchased this Tv 10 days ago. When I click on display on remote 1080 HD shows up in right hand corner of screen. This TV is a 2160 resolution we were told. Why is it reading 1080?
Asked 7 years ago by Susie.
- Answer That is what the source resolution is that is being sent to the TV and then the TV up-scales that signal to 4K if it is lower than 4K.

QuestionIf I buy any new TV that is 4K will a very old Sony BluRay player work with it? How will the TV treat the old format when viewing? I have a lot of old movies on DVD HD and BluRay.
Asked 7 years ago by rsbob.
- Answer Yes, the TV will automatically recognize the input from your DVD player and adjust to it. The picture will be upscaled to 4K as much as the signal allows and will be a bit better than a regular 1080p TV.

QuestionIve been reading reviews on amazon of this tv that after 4-6 months alot of people complaining its died or severely pixeliated and sony says thats normal. Has anyone else had issues of it dieing after a couple months or abnormal amount of dead pixels?
Asked 7 years ago by Tdawgx.
- Answer Have had the TV since Black Friday 2017. No issues. In fact, now that the color is fully calibrated, I find it clear and pleasant to watch. I bought mine new and sealed from Best Buy. Some other companies/on-line vendors sell refurbished and/or open sets; these at times, are banged up or used and can pixelate. All I know is, if I did have a problem, Best Buy would assist me in warranty claims. I bought mine from MAGNOLIA which is the high end sub-store within Best Buy and they have terrific service. Buy from a reputable company and you have peace of mind.

QuestionI recently purchased the 850e I love the tv however I'm confused about somthing. I was under the assumption there was no auto local dimming option however my tv has a option for that and it has a option for xtended Dynamic Range. Is this a update?
Asked 7 years ago by RJFD.
- Answer My understanding is that yes, this tv does have local dimming, it is just not FULL ARRAY local dimming. It is top and bottom lit local dimming. You have to jump up to the 900 series for full array, and based on my research, it was not worth paying an extra $500 considering that appears to be the only difference between the two. I certainly havent noticed any issues so far - the picture is great.
