Great picture, setup was fairly easy. Fits the wall nicely since it was a big blank wall.
Hi TIMOTHYH! We're thrilled to hear that the BRAVIA 9 is a great fit for your wall and that you found the setup easy. It's designed to make a big impact, especially on a large blank wall and we're so glad it's doing exactly that.
Thank you for choosing Sony! Best regards, Estefany

I have this TV in a dark room with ceiling lights that dim. The reflection of the lights and the “streaks” from the light are anoying. Take a small pint of light ans drag it across 1/4 of the screen is sub par for Sony

Just when I was getting comfortable with my 75, I walked into best buy and saw this beauty. Sitting close to 12 ft away from its glorious vivid glow im eternally grateful for the extra 10 inches.
Hi DonDaniel! We are pleased to learn you're loving your new BRAVIA 9! It's truly a leap in technology and that extra 10 inches makes a huge difference.
With our new XR Backlight Master Drive, the brightness and contrast are so incredible that it brings a whole new level of realism to everything you watch.
Thanks for choosing Sony! Best regards, Estefany

I've owned this TV for over a month now, and I can say without any hesitation that it's simply an amazing product!
For transparency's sake, I'm not one who swaps out my flagship TV frequently, so the one this replaced (another Sony LCD) had some age and miles on it. I went back and forth on whether to get another LCD/LED set or move to OLED, but decided on the former given the TV's position in my living room and our intended use for it.
The average person should have no problem putting this against an OLED for picture quality - it's THAT good. The black levels are remarkable for this technology, and I've noticed no blooming - something I was legitimately worried about given my girlfriend's (unfortunate) desire to watch movies with subtitles. The colors are rich and vibrant, and the brightness allows you to practically see the TV from space. I've noticed no issues with motion, either, which used to be one of the drawbacks with the tech. I appreciate Sony allowing the user to turn motion smoothing off and even offering a 'low' setting for a middle ground. The viewing angles were better than I'd anticipated, too, given the fact that LED sets typically offer worse performance in that area compared to OLED. The audio is SUPPOSED to be great, but admittedly I haven't tried it due to using it with a receiver and speakers, instead.
The TV looks fantastic across a wide array of content, but REALLY shines with HDR content and 4K discs. I spent the last month gorging myself on horror movies I'd been collecting, and going from B&W movies like Dracula and Psycho to modern stuff like Train to Busan and Longlegs was a treat - this TV made it all SHINE.
Any flaws? Well, for me I had lip sync issues watching content via streaming and disc initially, but I was able to get them resolved. Whether it was an issue between my BD player (Sony) or AVR (Onkyo) not wanting to play nice or not, both have delay options that allowed me to fix the problem, so just a heads up there. Also, a lot of people knock the price. Totally understandable, but also totally subjective. The Bravia 9 is definitely not what I'd call a VALUE TV, but I'd definitely say it's worth it given its performance compared to other flagship TV's.
Overall, so glad I decided to pull the trigger on this TV. If you're a movie person like I am, it's a no brainer.

This is an excellent TV to watch HDR movies. Its high brightness results in more intense specular highlights and better viewing in well-lit living rooms. Moreover, it provides a well-balanced picture with accurate colors; you may not see the need to calibrate it. With a 2.2.2-channel speaker system, the sound is superb. You may decide not to purchase a sound bar, although I recommend the Sony Theater Quad (HT-A9M2). And, if your choice is to place the TV on a console, rather than mount it on a wall, Sony provides four options to install the included metal feet (two heights and two positions). LG does not provide a base or feet with its 83” G4. However, a base is sold separately. Overall, the LG G4 might be better a TV but, at the time of this review the price of the 83” LG G4 is $1,300 higher than that of the 85” Sony BRAVIA 9. While the LG G4 may provide wider viewing angles, a near-infinite contrast ratio, deeper blacks, and zero blooming, in my view the picture of the LG G4 is not $1,300 better. No TV is perfect; you have to decide what features and characteristics matter the most.

The picture quality on this TV is fantastic. Blooming is almost nonexistent. Black bars on wide-scope movies stay black, even against very bright scenes. The biggest criticism is that the X-Wide angle treatment for improving off—angle viewing also causes the dreaded rainbow effect from lighthouses in the room in dark scenes. These rainbow effects seem much more noticeable than on my 4-year old 75” Sony that has the X-Wide filter as well. Essentially you do need to control light in your room to avoid the rainbows. This is pretty much the case with all TVs. They all try to deal with light reflection differently and with different negative trade-offs. I would still recommend this TV. I would advise Sony to go less aggressive with the treatment used on their screens.
We are honored to hear that our BRAVIA 9 has made such a powerful impression on you. Knowing that you are 100% satisfied with the precision of the Mini LED picture, the vibrant color, and the overall scale of the display is exactly what we strive for. There is no greater compliment than a recommendation without regrets.
Thank you for choosing Sony and for being such a valued member of the Sony family.
Regards, Dominick
