A mid-budget buy you WON’T regret. It doesn’t beat OLED picture wise, but for an LED/LCD screen, it’s absolutely gorgeous and rivals the best TVs in its tier. The picture is amazing, deep blacks and great detail in UHD HDR content, but the standout is for gameplay. With updates, you unlock the HDMI 2.1 port that allows 120fps gaming and in future updates will have more features to make it better, so great for next-generation PS5 gaming as marketed. But it’s also future proof in its ASTC 3.0 tuning for future 4K/120hz broadcast standard rolling out over the next years. PLUS, not to mention some content in IMAX Enhanced movie mode (like IMAX Spider-Man Far From Home via FandangoNOW, which is something not many mention!). If you can’t wait till 2021’s TV offerings, this is solid!

I’ve been through literally 20 TVs. I have tried them
All. This tv is the best tv for $1,000 that you can buy right now! Great picture quality. Bright and vibrant colors. Blooming is pretty much non existent in this generation. Up scaling is insane. Motion is gorgeous. I’m so glad that I finally found a TV that I love. If you’re in the market, AVOID HISENSE AND TCL. The tcl 6 series garbage compared to this.

TV looks and performs absolutely incredible: just what I'd expect from a Bravia, but needed some adjustments.
Out of the box, the colors were a bit muted for my taste; they were dull, undersaturated, heavy on the green tint, and brightness was heavily shaded & dark. This immediately blew me back a bit, because I'd been watching review-after-review on this model for weeks prior to purchasing, and most claimed that out of the box, their TV looked amazing and did not need any adjustments.
After diving into the picture settings for a few minutes, I was able to achieve that same vivid picture quality that I'd been seeing in most 'honest reviews.' For my unit (and for my taste), I had to adjust the following settings:
Picture Mode: Vivid
Light Sensor: Off (I didn't like the dynamic auto-adjusting)
Brightness: Usually 40-45
Color: Set to 60-65 and Hue set to R5
Temperature: Neutral
Live Color: High
Clarity: 75
Motion Flow set to Auto, Smoothness set to 2, Clearness set to 1.
Note: These are the settings which helped me to achieve what I like, which might not be what you like. Change them at your own discretion, if you choose to. I am not a professional calibrator, but I am an experienced photo and video editor, so I do know when an image seems a bit off to me.
Overall, I'm really happy with the purchase and although I have included a photo, it shouldn't be taken as a real-life or accurate representation; it looks so much better in person! The TV was an excellent price and the menus & functions are highly intuitive to use/learn. The menu navigation is very snappy and quick, which I like a lot. I've not even touched my FireTV (Cube) since setting up my X900H, as I've installed most apps which I'd been using on my FireTV. The performance comparison between the two is a night & day-positive experience.
Very satisfied with my purchase and would recommend to others.

Im looking at this son x900h vs the samsung q80t but decided to get the sony over samsung. Out of the box the picture quality is pretty good, it can be better. Also make sure your tv stand is wide enough if youre not going to hang it. Im going to be using this mostly for console gaming and im lookingbforward to the hdmi 2.1 which they say will come through software update. Im using a 1st gen ps4 i wonder if the picture is better with the playstation pro but im just going to wait on ps5. Also sony said that its a ps5 ready tv will see but so far im pretty happy with my putchase

On the short list of TVs that can support next gen gaming features like 4K 120; the X900H should be considered. The picture quality is fantastic and black levels are very good for an LED. I think Sony really worked hard to make a competitive TV for PS5 that is drawing a lot of attention for good reason!

This is one of the best tv that Sony has at this price point. The colors are really natural and precise . Watching 4k movies on this tv is spectacular. Can’t beat the details on every aspect of the Color spectrum , deepest blacks , natural whites especially if you have a 4k UHD Blu-ray player which I have and is also a Sony . Got it on pre Black Friday sale and was on member pricing which was a steal at $919.99 I just had to buy it . As always best shopping experience at bestbuy . Thanks for having such quality products .

Sony makes a great TV. The colors are bold and vibrant and works excellent with the ps5. Only
Thing I’d say I don’t like is the sound quality that comes from the tv speakers but I have a Sonos sound bar so makes up for it.

We have the 65” OLED at home and wanted to upgrade our tv at the cottage. I thought the Sony OLED might be too bright for the sunny room we would be putting it into. I think I was correct. This 900H series is perfect for this bright room; and WOW, what a great picture. This television also comes with HDR which my daughter says is perfect for gaming. I would never give up my OLED for the 900H but I would be hard pressed to argue that the OLED is worth the extra $900. You will not be sorry you bought this set.

The TV is fantastic … there is just the issue of horrible green flickering when using with a Dolby Vision device (ATV 4K) with the HDMI mode set to Enhanced HDMI (Dolby Vision).
(P.S. I am using Belkin 48GBPS cable which is compatible with DV)
Any help fixing this issue would be greatly appreciated.
Other than this the TV is fantastic and amazing colors … great blacks … awesome contrast.

Exceptional TV for gaming but also for movies. Can’t beat the price for a Sony tv HDR 4K smart, with 2.1 HDMI capability. Looking for a TV for your new PS5 or PS4 PRO. This is what you are looking for under $1,000.00. I made a great purchase and decision only wish I had gone with the 65”

I’ve had the set 7months now and I have to say it’s been a solid purchase. The picture quality is decent, primarily for gaming. For movies and television, I would go with an Oled panel. The blacks just aren’t deep enough and overall, the set struggles with HDR content. The VRR update should be coming soon but that was also promised by Sony earlier this year. I recommend spending a little extra money to pick up one of the LG CX or C1 oled Models.

This TV is absolutely amazing! Definitely one of the best LED TVs money can buy at the moment. OLEDs are amazing but wasn’t in the ballpark of what I was willing to spend. I came upon this TV and saw all the great reviews and video reviews and let me say, they are all correct.
