Customer Ratings & Reviews

The store sales person and the Sony rep who was onsit were very informative and gave us some tips for setup. We liked that it had an adjustment for voice max. The TV HAS A GREAT PICTURE VIVID COLORS AND DETAILS. It fits perfect the the corner of our living room. We watch football and there is no motion blur or shadows.

Amazing clarity for the 75” size. Fills a large wall easily. Had it installed and was thankful for the advice from sales to have wires hidden

This TV was purchased to replace a 65” Sony XBR65x900a where it’s screen matrix had gone bad, couldn’t repair (really loved that TV)! Anyway, researched all TV’s and decided to move up to a 75” Sony XBR. Paid the difference and couldn’t be happier, except no 3D, miss it. I liked 3D but that’s my opinion. This Sony’s picture is pretty comparable to the more expensive OLEDS of the same size. Plus if you are putting it in a room with a lot of natural light this is the way to go. OLEDS need darker rooms. But don’t take my word for it, talk to a sales associate at the store! Lastly, for those of you who scoff at purchasing a Geek Squad Protection Plan you better think twice! I would’ve been out $2500 if I didn’t pay extra for one when I bought the 65” Sony. You just never know.

Sharp natural picture. Excellent with 4k and 4k Ultra HD content. Upgrades 1080p content. Wish there was more available.

To set a frame of reference, i upgraded from a 75 inch Sony 940d. Kept going back and forth between the 75 in 900e and 940e and ended up going with the 940e. Compared to the 940d this set is an upgrade in almost every way. It is WAY brighter (probably will need to turn down the brightness for some content) and the blacks are much blacker and much better local dimming. I do not know if the perfect blacks that OLEDs offer have any perceivable advantage over this set. The Android UI is faster and more responsive too. The thing that initially concerned me from the reviews on this set was the motion blur as i am pretty sensitive to it. In short, the motion is not as good as the 940d was. I am a big fan of the smooth soap opera effect and have found that turning that on magnifies the motion blur. For movies I leave MotionFlow off and set Cinemotion to High and notice very little blur, but do not get the smoothing effect I typically prefer, but it looks good. For DirecTV, i actually was able to clear up the motion considerably by turning down the contrast to 90, Backlight to Max and in the motion settings I use Custom and set Smoothness to 4 and Clearness to 1 and Cinemotion off. This does darken the screen a little but the screen is way too bright for DirecTV anyways at full brightness and this does add a little smoothing and eliminates most of the blur. So does it have motion issues? Yes, can they be cleaned up dramatically with the correct settings? Yes. Will you be able to get the buttery smooth motion without any smearing or artifacting like with the new 900e? No, but i think the HDR peak brightness and UNBELIEVABLE local dimming win out.

I wanted to buy a 75" TV at a reasonable price with the best blacks and the best bright picture quality available. In this regard I find the 940E outperforms any other 75" TV out there, and comes so close to OLED picture quality that you can't tell a difference most times. With 1200 nits (HDR requirement is >1000 nits) you get one of the best-in-class HDR implementation, too! Watching regular (sports) TV programming and all kinds of movies, including (high speed races) action movies I could not see any noticeable motion blur that other reviewers are referring to. In the AVS forum there was a mention that Sony would provide an software update around January 10, 2018, to add support for Dolby Vision, which is great, because not only would you have HDR, but Dolby Vision, too! Nevertheless, I couldn't be happier with my choice of 75" TV. Sony's graphics engine is simply one of the finest if not even the best. The sound is okay, but then, I always use my Denon AVR-X6300H 7.2 setup for sound, and everything ARC and HDMI Control works flawlessly. If I had to mention things I don't like, 3 items come to mind: (1) the plastic remote control (looks like Sony uses the same remote control for their cheapest all the way to their most expensive TVs), and (2) the TV's Android operating system, which response times sometimes is lacking, and (3) some glare, which is only noticeable in bright rooms / during daylight. In summary, I rate this TV with 5 out of 5 stars mainly due to its incredible picture quality. Had the TV installed on the wall via Best Buy's Geek Squad. Am very satisfied with this purchase experience.

TV was fine for 3 weeks. Then one day when I turned the TV on it had a solid line down the middle of the screen. One side was darker than the other side and it developed what i was told was banding lines on the side that was darker. Called Best Buy and told them to come pick up the TV as it was still under their policy of being able to be returned. I then bought a Samsung Q9 with the one connect box. Have only had it for 3 days. Hoping i don't have the same kind of luck that I had with the Sony. Sony 940E was brand new and still in a sealed box even though it was a 2017 model. Thought I was getting a bargain as the price had been reduced. Only got a headache!

After seeing the 75'' 940E on display at BB last year, I wanted it. Even seeing it next to the Z9, I liked the black levels of the 940E better. This TV reminded me of a premium model Sony had, which had big speakers on the side. Only now, they finally got rid of those ugly and pointless speakers. The picture quality on this TV is the best I've ever seen! It looks identical to an OLED, only you won't have burn-in with this model. The screen gets extremely bright, and the blacks are extremely deep. The full pixel array, is amazing, as you get no light bleed at all, no annoying light on the edge of the screen and so forth. I manly watch my 4K Apple TV the most, as Dolby Vision automatically activates the second you turn it on, which looks breathtaking. The amount of details and color is incredible. I haven't experienced any sort of motion blur what so ever. The people who complain about that, clearly have no clue how to change the picture settings from vivid or standard to movie or game mode. I also do a lot of gaming on the TV. PS4 Pro, Switch, Xbox oneS. Again, I get no lag whatsoever and the HDR mode (on compatible games) looks fantastic. The speakers are decent enough, but lets face it, If you're spending this much on a premium TV do yourself a favor and get a decent soundbar or sound system to fully enjoy the experience. That being said, I love everything about this TV, it's fast, looks incredible, and truly is a premium TV. I would definitely recommend this TV to anyone looking for a 75'' 4K TV.

This TV produces the color, clarity and contrast superbly. Up scaling is out of this world. very easy to use and set up. All the smart option are very convenient. Sony's X1 processor does superb job displaying most clear picture possible

I’ll start by saying I’ve always been a Samsung fan until last year when I seen the the 75X850D which was a really nice TV and priced well. Sony has stepped up their game the past two years. The 940E is by far the Best TV I’ve owned and I’ll say out there. I was lucky to get it for four grand when it was on sale. I’ve would’ve bought it regardless. Now the 850D is upstairs while the 940E is in the man cave (basement) which I own the klipsch RP-280fa Running a 7.1 and 5.1.2. I also own ps4 pro, Apple TV 4K, Oppo 203 and an onkyo rz800. And the reason I’m saying all that because I have a lot connected to this tv no problems what’s so ever. The picture is truly amazing and the HDR content blows any tv out there. Now I’ll say oled is marginally better in picture and believe me it’s very close. Because It’s a backlit tv, it’s get very bright which makes 4K hdr look better then oled. It also supports Dolby Vision which also requires a very bight tv to take advantage of the colors. Oled have gotten better but still can’t compete With LED-LCD TVs. I’ve loved this tv from the minute I put it up. Don’t listen to negative reviews out there. I was a little worried but I promise you will be blown away. I play a lot of video games and a die hard packer fan and love watching supports in general. No motion problems or judder what’s so ever. Just go to Best Buy and look at it to believe. I promise you it look as good if not better then displayed at store. My wife was mad at me since my 850d is still a great tv until she saw the picture and that was it. I have 3 kids and this bad boy puts a smile on everyone’s face every time.

The picture on this is awesome, the sharpness and clarity is wonderful. Also the Black is a true black, which was a must for me. The sound is good. I also like the design of it, you can hide all the cables if you choose to stand instead of mounting on the wall. The only thing that disappoints is the android operating system, it runs a little slow, i.e. amazon prime app buffers when watching 4K movies. But other than the operating system, LOVE.

I have had this TV for about a month and it replaces a 65 inch Sony Z9D that developed some issues. The Z9D was the 2016 Sony top of the line display and remains available to this day because its so good ,yet this 75 inch 2017 model X940E performs to the same level of performance to my eyes. When viewing native 4K sources the picture is sharp, very bright and has great field of depth with vibrant and saturated colors.. Its rated 2nd in brightness of all current TVs. Black level is true black on a par with LG OLED. Yes, its that good. Blu Ray is upscaled to a level that is very hard to distinguish from 4K with the same characteristics as 4K. This model has had some criticism for a motion stutter issue when a scene is panning slowly from side to side. I have gone into the menu and tweaked the settings to a point where the stutter is not an issue. However, other fast moving scenes like sports and action movies are crystal clear. Watching a movie with HDR or Dolby Vision is a thrilling experience. Utube is an app that comes with the TV and I use it a lot to watch a huge library of 4k, 8k and 12k video that is absolutely stunning. At its current price of $2,800 it is a bargin to get one of the highest rated 75 inch TVs currently on the market. I have been into hi end video for 18 yerars including projection systems over 30K so I know what I'm talking about. You won't be disappointed.

I have had my x940e for about a month and am very happy. It replaced an 11 year old 50" plasma screen so the difference is quite striking! Ultimately the test of any TV is the picture quality. All of Sony's engineering feats such as the X1 processing chip, the full panel backlighting and the upscaling combine to provide the best picture I have ever seen. One of the nicest things for me is that with my Sony receiver, Bravia control and the IR Blaster, I can turn on and control most functions of the receiver and cable box with the TV remote. That might not seem like a big deal but for 11 years I have had to use a universal remote and separately control these 3 main components. I also like the app that is available. Since it operates on wi-fi you don't need to aim it at the TV, and you can always find it, unless you lose your phone. The biggest downside, which applies to any 4k/HDR TV is the dearth of source material. You really need a good internet connection because that's going to be your best source of 4K material, unless you invest in a UHD player. Personally I refuse to buy movies again that I already own on DVD and Blu-Ray. Broadcast is at best 1080i and it will be many years, if ever, before it becomes 4k. Streaming is the best source IMO, but even then there isn't much, and the 4k material that also has HDR is even more sparse. However more material is becoming available every day, and the video processing makes all other source types look great!

The full array backlighting system makes this 75 inch come to life. The crystal clear quality you get is amazing. You get nearly the same deep blacks of an oled but also a very bright picture that no oled can compete with. Hdr and 4k tranform this tv as well. I love watching game of thrones on this bad boy because there are so many dark scenes that are so hard to see on most tv's but this tv handels the contrast very well! Easily the best tv for the money! The z9d is great but not worth the extra dough in my opinion.

Sony 940E is a replacement to my Sony 940D that unexpectedly died after eleven months of viewing on the avg of six hours a day. Greek Squad diagnosed and replaced boards to no avail. There was no power surge occured/detected at the time it went dead. Fortunately, I purchased a five year extended warranty - what a saver! The picture quality of 940E is definitely better than 940D. I detected some motion blur though on 940E, otherwise, it has an impressive picture quality.

We were looking for a reliable TV that had excellent brightness and contrast that would be easily visible with bright ambient daylight. We could have settled for cheaper and/or smaller models but are glad we didn't. This TV does such a good job of upscaling that we can barely distiguishing between full HD and 4k streaming content over Netflix, Amazon and Google TV, even when sitting 6 feet in front of the TV. DirecTV "HD" content doesn't look as good but it's better than we'd expected. We don't yet have a 4k Blu Ray player, but standard Blu Ray on our old PS3 looks amazing. The speakers are much better than those on other recent Sony models, but for movies it's still best to use an external surround system. The Android TV interface gives many options for streaming from various providers, including all of the major networks. As far as connectivity, we've had virtually no problem streaming over WiFi with a 802.11ac router and a 25 Mbps connection. Finally, I'd like to say that making a decision on a TV like this is very difficult to do online. The staff at Best Buy/Magnolia (in particular, Derek at Mall of America in Bloomington, MN) evaluated our personal needs and preferences over a period of more than a year and made recommendations. We bought this 2017 model during its first week of availablilty and it was worth the wait.

Good: The 940E is a stunning 75 inch TV in term of HDR picture quality and dynamic range. Watching 4k HDR movies and content is stunning, and the picture quality is better than the 900F in general. Bad: Compared to the newest 900F, it lacks X-motion clarity for better motion quality, but I don't find it a big problem. For a large FALD TV, screen uniformity is always a problem. Dirty screen effect (DSE) is visible if displaying a grey screen, and vignetting is definitely visible. It's a general problem for all large FALD screens, and not particular to this model. Android TV is a little bit laggy. Delivery and Installation: Good experience. They arrived on time the next day, opened the box and put the TV on the rack. They ensured there's no damage to the TV.

This is the best Non-OLED TV available as far as I'm concerned, and maybe better still due to it's higher brightness. Black levels are nearly indistinguishable from OLED due to the 250 dimming zones. This TV got knocks for motion handling but unless you play video games on it it's not even a issue to consider. Even rtings.com admitted that it wasn't really bad but was just worse than other models. I've watched a LOT of football on this TV and it's fantastic. HDR movies are jaw dropping and paired with a Panasonic UB 820 Blu-Ray player Dolby Vision is stunning! Get one of these sets while they still have stock! I doubt you'll be able to get a TV this good again for less than $5'000.00. I hate to go on and on but seriously this is one awesome TV! It is only available in a 75 inch but for me that's just a bonus. If you are looking at a TV this size stop looking and buy one of these before they're all gone!

I was a big fan of Samsung. I had a 78", and have a 55", 40" and 36" Samsung TVs. Samsung switched to the One Connect Box, and I became very displeased with it, and was cautious because it doesn't always talk to home theater receivers. After looking and looking, I went for the 3 inches smaller Sony - THE BEST DECISION EVER. The colors are so rich, the contrast, everything. This is a wonderful TV and the TV speakers aren't even that bad, and a whole lot better than Samsung. My wife loves this TV as well, and she's usually not as picky as I. If you want the cleanest, most beautiful picture on a big screen at an affordable price, do not hesitate, do not second guess, grab this TV, you will not regret it.

I love using this television for an in-home theater experience. The interface for setting options takes a little getting used to, but it was easy to get up and running. Clear picture, great sound, good upscaling of non-HD content. One of the best non-OLED TVs you can find.
