Spectacular Picture Quality for a Great Price!
RodR Posted 5 years ago
We bought this Sony TV to replace a two and half year old 65” LG OLED that suffered from the dreaded burn-in in the form of a large green spot in the middle of the screen. After reading and watching many reviews I decided that the X950H had lots of things going for it including the price which was $1000 less than last year’s 77 inch OLED (which I had ordered and then canceled) with no fear of burn-in issues. Delivery from Best Buy was perfect. It was on time and they bought it into the house. I did not pay for setup as I enjoy doing that kind of thing myself. Setup was super easy and Android TV works well. It has every streaming app that we use. That being said we mostly use an Apple TV for streaming primarily because of the music functionality. The Sony remote works well and controls our cable box as well. While the blacks are not OLED level I rarely notice the difference. What is different is the brightness of HDR content. It’s really impressive. Our room is relatively dark so sometimes the brightness of the TV is almost startling. Also impressive is the color accuracy out of the box. For me there was no need to get it calibrated. The color is excellent. As expected Sony motion handling is really good and the upscaling of satellite TV content makes it look much better than it has any right to. Backlighting control seems good and I haven’t noticed any egregious blooming around bright objects. It is fairly heavy at around 75 lbs so if you’re mounting it you will need 2 people. If you’re using the feet be aware that they are really set wide and are quite deep. I had it on the feet sitting on top of an 84 inch media cabinet (while waiting for a new mount) that is 16.5 inches deep. The feet are 16.25 inches deep so it seemed a little precarious with no margin fo error. The only negative thing I can say about this TV was some really noticeable “rainbow” reflections across the screen while it was sitting on the media cabinet. I am going to include some photos of that. Apparently this is caused by a layer in the screen overlay that is there to increase the viewing angle. It was only noticeable in dark content but was super annoying. Initially I was thinking of sending the TV back. Even with no light sources in direct line of sight from the TV the reflections were still an issue. I finally solved the problem by mounting the TV up on the wall with a downward angle toward the couch. That completely did away with the annoying reflections. I am using it with Klipsch “The Fives” powered speakers with a Klipsch subwoofer and it always detects the speakers and they will switch to the TV as the source when I turn it on. That was hit and miss with the LG. I have not used the internal speakers on the TV. It doesn’t have HDMI 2.1 so if that’s an important feature to you this probably isn’t the TV you should buy. We’ve had the TV for a month and we couldn’t be happier with the X950H. For a lot of content the picture quality is superior to that of our previous OLED. It is exceptional for viewing sports. Be aware that reflections can be an issue with dark content especially If you can’t change the angle of the screen in your room.

Beautiful TV
FrankR Posted 5 years ago
I love this TV. I went from an old Bravia 55" to this. Picture is outstanding. I am not good with tweaking the TV but I do see a little bit of blooming when you have just black only on the screen and then white text comes up. But nothing I would ever complain about. Love the Andriod TV all apps are quick and snappy. I have had the TV for over a month and honestly with Xfinity it actually is starting to look better and better every day. I think the upscaling works great. Also, when you really get full 4K content it looks amazing. I was on the fence, looking at the cheaper TLC and Hisense... but just couldn't pull the trigger on those.. Very happy I spent the extra money and got the Sony. You won't be disappointed

Jaw dropping picture quality
rrwilliams64 Posted 5 years ago
Was on the fence between this and the Samsung Q80T, went with the Sony based on the overwhelmingly positive reviews. High peak brightness and color are outstanding, and the full-array local dimming is noticeable and impressive. For those that arent one to tweak and calibrate, the color is pretty spot on straight out of the box (I had heard that to be the case with Sony and is indeed true). My living room can be well lit or dark, depending, and the 950H handles both well. Angle viewing at 45 degrees didnt seem to degrade viewing, either. Dont let folks tell you this TV suffers from side angle viewing, not the case. So far, I'm impressed. The Android user interface is snappy and intuitive. If you're able to swing the not insignificant cost, go for it. best TV I've had yet....

Between this and Samsung Q80t
Kevin89 Posted 5 years ago
Fantastic TV! Wife is a Samsung fan and we went to the store for the q60t. Well the difference in picture quality between the q60t and q80t was too big to turn down the extra money, however, after having the store associate Wyatt show us the comparable X950h we were sold! It recently underwent a price drop ($500 cheaper than the q80t) and with much deeper blacks imo. Super happy with it! Fits perfectly in our small living room.

Exceptional Buy!!!
SonyX1 Posted 5 years ago
Great picture and size! I was originally looking at a different brand, but the sales person told me the Sony X1 had better picture quality and cost less then it’s main competitor! I was sold. I especially love the menu feature. I’m able to navigate through it and personalize it with ease. I love that it’s android friendly. Pairing my devices is quite convenient!!! I couldn’t be happier with our new TV. I’m a 120% satisfied with my purchase. J Herard

Best TV ever.
Steve Posted 5 years ago
This is the first time I have bought a Sony TV (I usually lean towards Vizio). This is absolutely the best TV I've ever owned. The eArc functionality allows me to control both the TV and my Bose Lifestyle 650 Home Theater (power, volume, mute) with the Sony TV remote. The Android TV operating system essentially eliminates the need for either a Fire TV Stick, Roku, Chromecast, which is built in, or any other streaming device. I'm a cable cutter and stream all of my content. The Ultimate X1 processor is extremely fast and the TV comes on instantly with no lag. I highly recommend this TV. Great viewing angles and contrast/brightness, low reflections in a bright room.

Amazing Picture
ORCollins Posted 5 years ago
I've had this installed a couple weeks now and am loving it. Set up is fairly easy, but you will need two people. I mounted mine on the wall. Movies and sporting events look fantastic. I would recommend a sound bar our A/V system to get sound that matches the quality of the picture. Sony makes great TVs. This is my 5th Sony.

Great size and price with nice options and specs.
Jayson707 Posted 5 years ago
A great television for the price and size. We upgraded from a old Sony 55” that had the side speakers, one of the first 4k TVs around to this giant 75” tv which is plenty big for us. It has a bright screen with good color and the ui is a lot improved. It reads the wifi well and easy to setup all my tv apps HBO max etc. would of preferred to go oled but the price isn’t there yet for us, but this tv is awesome.

Very Nice TV
Bailey Posted 5 years ago
Nice picture . I would have been happier with this TV if I hadn’t just installed a 43” Samsung in the master bedroom. The Samsung was easier to install. I had to look up the DirecTv box maker and model # and manually input it in order to operate the full remote operation. Where as the Samsung detected it automatically. The TV is nice and a very nice picture but the Samsung smartTV has a definite higher IQ level.

Keith Posted 4 years ago
Received a lot of information regarding Qled vs Oled. Was sold on getting a Samsung but didn't have the one i wanted in stock. Another sales assistant came and explained the bonus of the Sony. Bought without seeing the in store demo. Very glad I did. Picture quality is excellent. Had a sound bar, connected it in hdmi arc and the sound is much better.

So far a very nice tv. We did have a 55” tv and was looking for a 65”, so glad we decided to go with the 75”. The tv fits perfect in the wall space in the family room. The picture is very vivid and the sound out of the speakers is good.
