Customer Ratings & Reviews

Wow what an amazing picture with this XBR-65X900H. The colors, contrast, brightness, whites, blacks, motion control and once again the colors are just brilliant. There are so many color adjustments that can be made to fit your individual tastes if you want but ours was fantastic right out of the box with the standard settings. I know Sony is well known for high quality and great picture quality from my past experience as I had a 25XBR from the mid 80’S that ran for 30+ years and it just kept running until technology passed it by. We upgraded from a 7 year old 1080p Vizio 60hz and it did well with it’s limitations but it was time to join the 4k world finally with a 120hz 2180p TV to finally get full potential with our 4k Pioneer Elite receiver and the combination is excellent. We looked at many other brands and kept coming back to the Sony and it’s natural picture quality that is very pleasing to the eyes without the oversaturating of colors and brightness that will get old on the eyes after awhile. Our final 2 choices came down to the X950H and the X900H and the X900H was holding it’s own very well even next to it and the OLEDs so we just couldn’t justify paying the additional cost for a slight difference as you can’t go wrong with either the X900H or X950H. The X900H was about $500 less than the X950H which was amazing to us and it has us set up for the future with it being ATSC 3.0 ready now with the HTSC 2.1 update arriving soon. We currently have cable that only broadcasts at 1080p so the X900H upscaling and X-motion clarity was seen immediately in picture quality. Current hookup is cable from wall to cable box, HDMI from Cable box to receiver HDMI IN connection and another HDMI cable from receiver ARC to TV ARC. For the AV wizards if there is better connection let me know. We never had access to streaming before and Android TV is fast with this 4k X-1 processor and very impressive indeed but also the surround sound with streaming thru our receiver is amazing as well so cutting cable is eminent. Ordering online and delivery by Best Buy was flawless. I was a little worried about setting up our first smart TV but after unboxing, setting it up and turning it on it was soooo easy to do and it walks you thru every step of the way perfectly. Once again Sony picture quality is amazing - so much so that the wife looked at it operating the first time and said order her one for the other room so of course I did lol. Things I had to have was 120hz, 4k UHD Full Array LED, Dolby Vision, HD10, Dolby Atmos, X-Motion clarity, ATSC 3.0, HTSC 2.1 with android/google assistant w/voice assist remote and this one has it all. I give it a solid 5 of 5 rating. It's great to be back in the Sony world again it is well worth it.

Sony is the best of the best! Our family has purchased one Sony after another. Don’t misinterpret that. These televisions last 20 years. Great durability and fantastic high definition picture quality. Is it the cheapest? No. But worth every penny if you want quality and a long lasting product.

Great TV. Still runs strong after several years with no issues.

I researched this TV and the Sony 950H ALOT and it came down to price .. it was quite a bit cheaper than the 950H and had similar reviews. I saved up for this TV and had been watching a 14 year old plasma so anything was an upgrade. However the excitement I had for it was crushed by the fact day 1 we unboxed it ..cut it on and we were waiting and seeing a black screen .. We both try to be positive and say maybe it’s warming up or it’s setting up ..it’s doing whatever it needs to do ..then we see a thin bluish white line all the way up the edge of it.. (we think because there’s so much tape around it kinda hard to tell )so at this point we’re exhausted frustrated because we’ve had to re-box the TV (Pain in butt)now we have nothing to watch and the store was closed at this point ..so next day we took off early from work and take it back and we were probably in the store for close to two hours while they inspected every nook and cranny of it and asked the same questions over and over so it made us feel like they were blaming us .. they were polite and I get it it’s an expensive purchase all I wanted to do was exchange it. Finally they tell us that we can. They offered me the geek squad protection coverage which was another couple hundred dollars and I asked if the TV still had the manufactures warranty and they said yes however because we’ve exchanged this TV we can’t bring this new TV back if there’s something wrong with it. So it’s a nice TV nice picture had to adjust sound and color a little and we had to unplug it once because it was “stuck” so that worries me a tad.

Decided to upgrade to a 4k tv before the release of next gen consoles, and this was one of few options with HDMI 2.1 to make it capable of 4k 120hz. The update that enabled HDMI 2.1 was released shortly after purchasing it. There were some issues with the update but Sony is aware and working on a new update to fix them. Overall, the tv is beautiful and lightning fast. The tv was easy to setup and the android operating system is great and easy to navigate. 4k broadcasts of sporting events look great and super smooth with the 120hz native refresh rate (unfortunately there are only a few 4k broadcasts per week). 4k movies streamed through Netflix, Disney+, or other apps look great. I was pleasantly surprised by the sound quality of the speakers. I originally thought of getting a soundbar but dont think it is needed for my use at least. The black levels seem very good to me (considering it isn't OLED) and there are plenty of options with auto local dimming, black levels, etc. I bought the 65 inch on sale for $970 around the time of prime day. It was a great value at that price, and is still reasonably priced at full price when compared with similar quality tvs. Haven't had a chance to try next gen systems yet, but my ps4 games are significantly better on this tv with low input lag, HDR, and improved visual quality and contrast.

This is absolutely the best TV I have ever owned. My last TV was a 50" Sony Bravia 1080p. It was very good and had low lag input for gaming but it finally went out on me after 7 years 2 months ago. I felt it was time for me to upgrade to a 4kTV not ready for 8k. Took advantage of the early black Friday sale that hit early Sunday on the 22nd of November. I was waiting and when I saw the price drop $400 dollars I bought it for pickup immediately that same day. The picture is glorious. This TV has good blacks and the colors are fantastic. I heard and saw the LGcx but it suffers from permanent burn in and LG tv's don't last that long compared to Sony so the choice was clear stick with Sony for quality. This TV is ps5 ready for it is the only TV in the in all of the models except the 8k that has HDMI 2.1 The 950 I think has it but no updates for that one. So you can game at 4k 120hz or 120fps. I can go on about the TV but you can read the description or look at reviews on youtube and the Tech TV guys only talk about the 3 hottest TV's to have which is this one which takes the top for ps5 and xbox series x ready and Samsung and LG for HDMI 2.1 TV's. Now I just got to find a ps5.

My Sony X900H Series 65” TV has a great looking picture, with plenty of brightness and vivid detail. I’m not a gamer so I can’t comment on that aspect of this TV. The TV feels solidly built for being made of plastic. The menu system seems fairly intuitive and responds quickly. I can’t comment on the sound system as I hooked a sound bar as soon as it was unboxed. A couple of negatives though. It seems to be dropping the wifi connection when in sleep/standby mode; power cycling it, by holding down the power button on the remote (at least you don’t have to find/unplug the power cable!), will reconnect the wifi. It might be a firmware issue? I don’t stream a lot (yup, throwback cable subscriber) but it’s annoying. The other issue I have with it is the receiver for the remote signal is in the CENTER of the lower tv frame; my sound bar is just barely tall enough so that it blocks the remote from working. I had to put pads under the TV feet to raise it up a quarter inch; my previous TV had the remote signal receiver in the corner of the tv frame as well as the power light indicator. Overall though, a great TV! It’s a good value when on sale but I don’t think I would pay full retail for it. I do wish it came in a 70” size as the 75” was too large for my stand.

I watched reviews and studied ratings for days before pulling the trigger on this model. I upgraded from a Samsung Series 7. What a difference. If you are a gamer and plan to purchase a next gen console then look here. If you are looking to watch more 4K movies or sports then you will want the x950h. I narrowed my search down to this model and a Q80T. Although the Q80T cost more, I found that there was not enough difference in picture quality to justify the cost. Picture and motion are incredible on this set. Plus I love the Android TV coming from a Samsung. This TV is also outfitted with multiple 2.1 HDMI ports, earc, and VRR (all to be activated by later firmware), so you’ll be ready for next gen. I was absolutely floored when I played Blue Planet II. Well worth the price as it is comparable to sets that cost $1000 more.

After doing a ton of research I decided this was the TV for me. I wanted something with HDMI 2.1 for my future Xbox Series X. I also didn’t want to spend an insane amount of money and got the 65 inch on sale for around $1,000. This was not my first 4K TV but it is my first non budget model. The TV looking amazing with my Series X. Movies looks amazing as well streaming from the many built in apps. Everything is easy to use. My only complaint is some minor software bugs regarding HDMI 2.1 but many of them have already been resolved via updates and Sony will continue to update it as well. I highly recommend this TV for people wanting to game, especially with their next gen console. It may not be the very best TV on the market but the price is right and to me it looks absolutely amazing and was still a huge upgrade over my previous 4K TV.

Pros: Great color out the box Amazing upscaling AndroidTV (very responsive as well) ATSC 3.0 Tuner HDMI 2.1 coming via update Great blacks with minimal blooming Fast response time with no blur/trails Cons: No smooth gradation/low bit rate color banding Low Dolby Vision brightness Remote doesn't light up Dark scenes will show dark blobs at times Corners a tad dark Typical VA panel off axis viewing Overall for an LCD its an amazing picture. Smooth Gradation is the only real flaw that should of been part of original software. Fix that and I'd give a 5 star review. Spoke with Sony rep that said all their info for this TV shows it should have smooth gradation. After about 20 mins of hold he advised me to wait for an update but couldn't confirm details of update. Just that I'd be happy with it. So I guess we will see if they remedy it. All the other cons are just inherent to LCD. Dolby Vision brightness has been fine for me since I have a fairly dark room during the day, but this is not gonna be an ideal tv for extremely bright rooms. The upscaling of 1080 content is fantastic. Save yourself the $3 a month on Netflix and cancel out 4K :) Response time is insane fast and does cause some stutter on slow scenes. You can get this removed by using motion smoothing which has been really good in my limited use of it. The amount needed does vary by content. Seen next to no artifacts from smoothing and you can get it set low enough to have little to no soap opera effect.

Our 11 year old Panasonic plasma finally quit and my lovely wife bought this as a replacement and gift for a special occasion. I had been looking at the X900 series for a number of reasons, gaming (PS4/5) near the top of the list but also 4K HDR, "game mode", and motion clarity, 2.1 HDMI and of course their reputation for quality. It offers a lot of features for the money, some of which are only (currently) available on much more expensive TV's. The picture is stunning, it so good it makes some of favorite shows look weird and you can actually tell how cheap some of the sets are. It also took me a day to get readjusted to how much snappier games play in 'game mode'. Its a brilliant TV, very easy to set up and we're really very pleased with the purchase.

What a deal for a 65”! Got it for $1000 and it’s worth every penny at that price. I’ve came from another 4K TV. However, this was the best bang for your buck. 4K 120HZ future proof and if even you don’t get the new consoles you’ll be set whenever you do. I’ve tested gaming and movies, with the latest firmware update, and the picture quality is excellent. Colors are stunning without a professional calibration. I think Sony hit the nail with this one. However, there was a lot of compromise with this TV, but once you get into your setup you’ll be happy with with the performance. Such a great deal at $1000. Only wish Sony kept it at this price. With time, i feel it $1000 will be a standard price for this performance. Will recommend to anyone tho!

This tv ended up being a purchase for my PS5 and Xbox Series X. The tv looks great and is very easy to use. I got in for a great deal and glad I walked in when I did. The tv now supports HDMI 2.1 and allows the systems to perform at its best. I went from a regular flatscreen TV to a 4K smart tv, so this one stands out. My only gripe with it is that the volume sometimes doesn’t work and you have to shut down the TV and turn it back on. I’ve also had the internet disconnect from it a few times but hasn’t happened in a few weeks. I’m hoping a new patch will fix these issues. Overall, it wasn’t bad enough for me to dock a star from the review as I could quickly turn the tv off and back on and as I’m sure this will be fixed by Sony.

Overall this is a great TV. I was originally going to buy a Samsung but when I saw the X900H on display and the price of it I had to pull the trigger. Picture quality is great and the smart features are easy to use. My only cons with the TV is that on some apps I have to turn the volume up higher to hear it. So I would recommend looking into a sound bar depending on how big the room is you plan on putting it in. Also every once an a while an app just doesn't feel like loading. For me it's been HBO MAX. So sometimes I would have to unplug the TV and then plug it back in and it works. Not a huge deal but just a pain every once and a while when it happens. Overall very happy with the X900H.

I stewed over the 4k tv for gaming decision for quite some time, and finally settled on the X900H. Out of the box, picture quality is exceptional and I've calibrated it to my needs. I found myself rewatching all my movies to see how the tv upscales older DVDs, and displays newer Blu-ray films. Its very good. I don't yet have 4k UHD player or next-gen console, but from the look of things, it'll be a pleasure. I am a bit disappointed that 4k120hz may not be feasible to the utmost with the clarity one desires on this model (blur yet persists according to those reviewers I follow - HDTVtest, Rtings, among others) and still awaiting a firmware update for VRR and ALLM. Sony promised 4k120hz would be capable, but its still not quite ready. I fully expect Sony will keep working at improving this model for it's reputation and customers sake. The tv's sound is better than most, but I mostly pipe it to an external system, and things are very good. I don't care for the legs on this model and will most likely be mounting it on the wall. They're spaced wide and deep, the tv sits low and yet fairly far from the wall (since you don't want the legs teetering on the edge of the console), which doesn't allow much of anything else on the console. It's, I think, possible to place an Xbox Series X or PS5 horizontally under the front bezel, or a slim sound bar (but not older models). But vertically, there's no way except behind the tv, which would contradict generous air flow necessary for console and TV heat exhausts. But airflow is good around the set as it stands alone. I don't find the set gets very hot when watching for extended periods, or gaming, just slightly warm to the touch. It may get hotter when running 4k console media/games. We shall see. I rate this set 4/5 stars because there's still some updates to bring this set up to par in what was advertised/promised. It's slowly getting there. I don't mind waiting a little bit longer, but certainly don't let it go by the wayside. And I personally didn't suppose that the x900h not getting full 4k120hz support without blur or fine detail was a Total deal breaker, with most games running 4k60hz, but I do want to it to be competent in that regard. I do hold Sony to it's word, and if they don't deliver, this will affect my future considerations of Sony adversely. It's hard to earn back customer approval and trust, let alone praise, once you lose it. The Android OS was a factor for me. I could have been happy with Samsung Tizen or LGs web os, but this one is best for me. I love having access to virtually every app on the market, and android games too. It's fluid, fast and easy to use. I do seriously dislike tvs having Advertising, which this one does too (the vast majority do), and cannot be disabled. The reasons I chose this set: It's way cheaper than oled (the LG CX probably being my next choice, or possibly Samsung Q90T, but those costing nearly twice as much ~ and in consideration of oled, I would have gotten a 2 or 5 ur ext warranty for burn in risk and other potential issues), no burn in risk, much greater longevity anticipated for VA panel, good fald, sound, brightness, HDMI 2.1 and accompanying next-gen features, motion handling, black frame insertion. This set represents the most bang for your buck in any regard. It's advertised to be next gen ready, but it certainly isn't ready Yet - though next gen consoles have already arrived on market. Basically, for lack of suitable alternatives in this price range and feature inclusion, this model was my best choice.

Great picture quality. Excellent if you are into gaming. Highly recommend

Was doing my research for quite a while before purchasing this TV and this is my biggest and most expensive TV I have ever purchased and was looking for something for the next generation of video games and for watching movies and this is the perfect mix. The picture quality on this TV is really incredible even for not being an OLED. Especially getting the 65 in on sale was even a better deal. Would highly recommend especially as it might go cheaper with the next years TVs out in the market.

- Excellent blacks for not being an OLED. - Color looked great right out of the box, but if you take some time to adjust it a little more, your guests might mistake it for an OLED screen. - Games looked amazing on the Xbox Series X at 120 FPS (PS5 hasn't arrived yet) - Ease of use and the menus are snappy unlike previous Sony TV models. - I was thinking about the LG CX but I got this for half the price and it has been worth it so far. - Things I dislike are some of the apps I have not been able to get rid of that came standard with the TV.

Since the HD era started 15-20 yrs ago, I've purchased a new TV about every 5 or 6 years. This is by far the best yet. Absolutely blown away by the picture quality for the TV, especially for the price. Super easy set up. Very little calibration with amazing results. Search youtube.com for the Sony X900H to find easy to follow picture set up instructions, This TV is very popular, so plenty of good info out there for it.

The good: -Picture quality (if professionally calibrated) is top notch. Believe me, spend the money to get it calibrated for your room & preferences. HUGE difference! -Aesthetics ate nice for its price range -Runs Android TV fast and smooth, very good. Almost as good as my Nvidea Shield TV box. -Easy to navigate menus The not so good: -No Sony TV app, would be nice to not have to use the crummy remote it comes with -The remote is pretty bad. I use a Harmony Hub so at least I sont have to use the remote it comes with -The TV turns on the TV speakers if your receiver is not on first before the TV and it randomly does not switch back to the receiver so I have to do it in the menu. -Preinstalled Sony apps, Come on, leave Android TV alone. The reason I use an Nvidia Shield and have been since 2015. -The built in speakers suck. But if your buying a 65" 4K TV, its probably safe to say you're not using them anyway. Overall I really like this TV and am happy I chose it over the others I was considering. Interestingly when I had it calibrated, the guy said this was the first one of this model he had done and was quite impressed with the result. He said its on par with sets costing several hundred more dollars and the calibrated picture was very impressive. Since I use an Nvidia shield I am not really concerned with software updates to the TV. That will be the downfall of this TV as well as many other brands. This is my first Sony TV. I have owned many brands over the years and have been on the "big flat screen" bandwagon since Plasma TV's first came put back in the early 2000's. In summary, I am pretty happy with this TV. Its WAY better than the top of the line 2 year old Hisense 4K I had. My friends are jealous of the picture quality and some of them have OLED sets. I think that goes to show a professional calibration is a must on a new modern 4K TV, Hope this helps someone with their TV purchase process.
