Works great
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.TV is great but unless you have something hardwired in or very fast internet you won’t get the crystal clear picture. I stream so probably wasn’t worth the extra money

Posted .Hi Mark, Thank you for the feedback on your experience with your X950H. Picture quality depends on the original video provided by the video content provider and your connection bandwidth. Please refer to the steps below to ensure you're getting a crystal clear picture when streaming apps:
To enjoy watching Internet streaming videos, a network with a fast and stable line speed is necessary. In general, speeds that resemble the following are necessary:
Streaming standard definition (SD) Internet video: 2.5 Mbps
Streaming high definition (HD) Internet video: 10 Mbps
Streaming Ultra HD (4K) Internet video: 25 Mbps
The wireless network connection quality varies depending on the distance or obstacles (e.g., wall) between the TV and the wireless router, environmental interference, and the quality of the wireless router. In this case, use a wired connection for the Internet, or try the 5GHz band.
The 5GHz band may not be supported depending on your region/country. If the 5GHz band is not supported, the TV can only connect to a wireless router using the 2.4GHz band.
When using a wireless network, keep wireless devices close together or avoid obstacles.
Keep devices that emit RF interference (such as microwaves) away from the TV and wireless router, or turn off such devices.
The X950H’s Full Array Local Dimming and Boosting technology provides a dramatic increase in contrast and brightness from anywhere in the room thanks to X-Wide Angle technology that is now offered in additional screen sizes (except 49”). The X1 Ultimate Processor, Sony’s best processor to date, delivers a picture with ultimate realism and upscales everything you watch to a near 4K HDR. Thanks for choosing Sony! -Sam

||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.This was a nice Tv only issue was did not have the same hdmi capability that is in the lower version for 2020, so we returned it to wait for the 2021 models
No, I would not recommend this to a friendBrand response from SonyListens
Posted .Hi R2D2, We regret to hear that you returned this TV. Sony 2021 TV models will support HDMI 2.1 via HDMI inputs 3 & 4 (4K 120/ALLM available at launch). VRR will be coming via a future firmware update. Also, the Apple TV app, Apple Airplay 2, and Apple Home Kit are all available at the time of launch. Thank you for your interest in purchasing 2021 models. Jay

New smart TV
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.We learned after purchase but before delivery that there would be extra charges for something we were told was covered during installation. Sakes person is not fully educated on how products work or what charges apply, when. As far as install, guys were great, Andrey and Ernesto. Took the time to install apps and made sure we were completely satisfied before they left. Very professional, knew what they were doing.
