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.
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.900 has better detail in dark/shadow areas. I didn't think it was worth the price but go to the store and have them show you the same video feed on both models at the same time - you'll see it in direct comparison but it's not a lot.
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.I looked at both very closely in store. The 900 is slightly brighter, though the picture quality is amazing on both. If I remember the salesman's words correctly, the 900 has LED's all through the tv and the 850 is only lit by LED around the edges.
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.I could not tell the difference so, I couldn't find a justification to spend another $500.
