Worth it
||Posted . Owned for 2 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.We had been looking to upgrade our TV for a while, and I did a lot of sleuthing: shopping, reading reviews, talking to friends, and comparing. We finally decided to take the plunge on the Sony 49" X950H, and we have been very pleased. Set up was fairly easy (we already had a wall mount) & it took about 15 minutes to go through the initial set up, hooking it up to our cable box, and entering various passwords like Netflix. We are still learning about all of the extras that came with it. BTW, if you are a gamer, be aware it doesn't have the HDMI 2.1 connector.

Posted .Hi Ygzee, We're thrilled to hear you like the picture and sound quality of your X950H TV. This TV has the same powerful processor used in our 8K TV analyzes data to boost color, contrast, and clarity. You'll uncover more detail in shadow on a Full Array LED TV screen for realistic pictures from any angle with less blur. While you are getting used to the remote I recommend trying the voice control through the remote or hands free!-Sam
