Great TV and Picture
So I had a Vizio P series 2018 model which I got a decent price. It had a good picture but after 10 months the dimming panel and backlight started to fail. After a few attempts at repair my Geek squad warranty kicked in and I got the TCL series 6 model and right away there were connection issues with 2 HDMI ports and the picture was over saturated even after calibration. I decided that those budget brands aren't worth the money so I put in a few more dollars and got the Sony X950G. Right away you can tell that this is a premium TV. The color is very accurate right out of the box and doesn't require much calibration at all. There is no lag for gaming as I have not had any issues with the PS4 pro or Xbox one X. This set also does Dolby Atmos, Dolby vision and HDR10. I was skeptical about the Android software but it is pretty fast and responsive and I haven't had any lag. The sound could be a bit better but as with most newer TVs a sound bar is recommended. Over all this is definitely a good product.

Excellent TV
Excellent TV, colors are bright, everything is crisp. Would highly recommend. Also took advantage of a promo and paired it with the Sony HTX9000F soundbar and it sounds amazing. The IMAX enhanced feature on the TV is also amazing, the picture I attached is a screen capture from a video I took to show a relative, somehow seems to make 4K even better. Only downside, you lose a touch of contrast if you're close to it and viewing at an off angle, but that's likely to happen with most TV's at this size that are not OLED. There is also just a slight bloom if it's a dark background and a lighter image pops on the screen. Again, unless you have an OLED, you're going to get bloom on almost any TV. The bloom on this is still much much better than the 930D I got a few years ago. In the end, a great TV, worth the price.

Excellent Television Set
Great picture qualityand plenty of inputs. Android tv is easy to use and has a nice looking menu. This was the best Sony remote I have used in 20+ years of having Sony tv's.

Great TV
We originally thought we would purchase a Samsung TV but after our Sales consultant explained everything about each TV we purchased the Sony 55in. While a bit more then what we intended to spend totally worth every penny! Along with the Sony sound bar we couldn't be happier. Picture is so clear and the quality of sound distributed thru the whole room really makes a huge difference. Our room size is 12x24 so this Sony combo is perfect for this size room.

Was Underwhelmed
I had high hopes for this purchase but was greatly underwhelmed by performance the android operating system is still buggy at best And the TV had surprising issues with the Sony HTZ9F sound bar I had high hopes for the processor which is now shared in their top-of-the-line OLED televisions But seemed to fall short with the LCD technology. This was such a bummer because I got the TV for a great price but I had to return it for the LGB9 which I am very happy with I already on the LGC8 so the transition was easy to make hopefully Sony ditches android TV because I think it holds the television back imo and also figure out the bug between the TV talking to the sound bar through the ARC I think going for the mid tier 2 budget TVs like the TCL or hisense Vizo put a lot of pressure on these mid tier LCDs that Samsung and Sony are offering The overall value for picture quality and features I believe TCL Vizio Hisense Are the better bets
