Beautiful! I have it hooked up, color calibrated to the way I like it. Im so ready to get my stash of 4k disc to play on the Dolby Vision! I’m not a gamer-I didn’t buy the tv for that. You really cannot get better than Sony.

Voice command not secure
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.So far so good except I'm unhappy with the controls for the Bluetooth and sound. Every time I turn the TV on I have to go to make sure these options are turned off. Due to the current security with people spying and listening to voice-activated devices I think the Sony should by now have better capability for quickly and manually turning off the voice features listening features xcetera. Thank you

Posted .Hi Nono, Thank you for purchasing the Sony X950H! We appreciate your feedback about the voice search function. By default, the voice assistant function on the remote cannot be triggered if the MIC/voice search button is not pressed. And the built-in MIC (only TVs with a built-in MIC) also is not triggered if you didn't say “Ok Google”. You can also disable the "Ok Google" detection under the TV's settings. Hope this helps!

Good quality TV.
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I like Sony TV, All TVs in my home are Sony. Last TV price was okay. Model 2020. Most of the TVs screen size on the market 55"+. My previous TV was 46", I looking for something similar. So, I may keep same setup for my entertainment center. Video very clear. Sound very good, Android futures very nice.

Posted .Hi WINNETKA800, we are glad that you like Android features, picture and sound quality of the TV. The X950H has our X1 Ultimate processors, which analyzes, and processes data in every image to make colors even more natural. It also has the Super Bit Mapping HDR, which creates smooth, natural 4K TV picture quality as you watch, without the "banding" that can occur on other TVs. Thank you for patronizing Sony! -Erin
Do not buy if you plan to play PS5 on this
||Posted . Owned for 8 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I bought this TV with the explicit use of playing the PS5 when it came out a few months after my purchase of the TV. The specs for the Sony x950H state that it has 4K resolution and native 120hz refresh rate but not seemingly at the same time because no connection it has supports 4K @ 120hz. This TV does not support HDMI 2.1 and only the x900H was given the firmware update to support 4K @ 120hz that the PS4 is listed at being able to support. I am very dissapointed with the purchase of my TV and I found out that the 950H doesn't support the function I bought it for long after my return window was available. I love TV for every other function but I cannot shake the feeling of regret by the blatant misinformation that is being presented on the spec list for this model.

Posted .Hi Rowens, Thank you for sharing your feedback about your X950H. Although this TV supports a 4K display resolution, it does not have a 120hz refresh rate feature. You may refer to our support website for the correct specifications of this model or refer to the link below:
https://www.sony.com/electronics/support/televisions-projectors-lcd-tvs-android-/xbr-49x950h/specifications
There is much confusion about the HDMI versions and concerns about compatibility. For this reason, we do not promote the HDMI versions incorporated on many of our products. Instead, we advertise the features of a product that are associated with a particular HDMI version. For X950H, it does support Enhanced Audio Return Channel (eARC) function. Currently, only the X900H and Z8H models support the 4K 120 timings. Hope this helps!
Regards,
Sam

Poor Experience
||Posted . Owned for 2 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.TV was average for the price. But, when adding a 4K sound bar and DVD player found that the 55 inch model was $30 cheaper. Return was authorized but the first replacement was defective and a nightmare in getting it replaced and scheduling time for replacement by Geek Squad.

Great TV! too bad it doesn't support PS5 4k 120fps
||Posted . Owned for 4 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Great TV for the price. I am sure I will keep this TV for many years as opposed to my Vizio TV purchases that I seem to replace every 3 years. Unfortunate this TV does not support PS5 4k 120 fps gaming but, the 900x series does. It is still a nice TV despite.
