Overall, a solid TV for the price point. The HDR and brightness levels are amazing. The color is very accurate without alot of adjustment. The only downsize are the view angles, that's the only thing keeping me from giving this TV 5 stars. The sound quality is average but I already had a soundbar set up, so the internal TV sound quality isn't an issue.

Best TV I've ever owned. The picture with this tv is phenomenal, and with it being the 85" model, the experience is so immersive. The picture modes out of the box are extremely accurate, and the Smart TV (Google) is extremely fast. Couldn't be happier with my purchase. Sony for the win, again!!!

Near perfection

This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.
It's a Sony so I expected near perfection.. nothing is perfect but they definitely know how to get close! Picture quality is sharp, colors pop and anything on 4k looks great! Sound is good and loud, we have a soundbar but sometimes it doesn't connect and we still have a hard time telling the difference between the two. The only issue I can come up with is when watching something with subtitles on if the scene is in a dark setting the subtitles illuminate a lot so where the light affects the space in the scene.. but that's honestly an issue with all tvs unless you have OLED..

HI KevinG,
We are thrilled that your new 85" X90L is living up to your "near perfection" expectations with its sharp picture and popping colors! It is also great to hear that the built-in sound is so impressive that it rivals your soundbar. To help with the subtitle blooming you mentioned in dark scenes, you can actually minimize this by going into Settings > System > Accessibility > Subtitle settings and changing the text color to Grey or adding a Semi-transparent background; this reduces the light output from the text so the local dimming zones don't have to work as hard, keeping your dark scenes nice and deep. Thanks for choosing Sony!
Best regards, Eliab

When considering purchasing this TV there is a lot to unpack here.
1. The TVs Visual Quality is absolutely stunning, I have had many guest witness the visual capabilities of this tv and all of them were left speechless in regards to the spectacular clarity of the picture. It easily competes with more expensive OLED TVs and is significantly cheaper. I’ve seen OLED picture quality and this TVs clarity it just as good and if not better.
2. Gaming, running video games at 120fps is no easy task but this beautiful tv does it flawlessly as it is easily able to handle every feature the latest Gaming Consoles and PCs can throw at it. Also has built in Features in the TV to display crosshairs on screen which is a great bonus.
3. Only minor negatives I have about this product is the weight of the TV, if you plan on mounting it on the wall make sure you have 2 strong individuals prepared for the task. Also I do wish there was AV cable inputs on the back for older plugins but that’s not a problem if you buy an Audio Receiver with it. STR-AN1000 is what I went with and works fantastic with it as the TV itself has a Sony exclusive built in feature that makes the TV the center speaker.

Sony LED TV: A Symphony of Light and Color

Posted . Owned for 2 weeks when reviewed.
This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.
My media room has been transformed into a home theater, thanks to the magic of my new Sony XR X90L LED TV. From the moment I turned it on, I was captivated by the sheer brilliance of the screen. Gone are the days of washed-out colors and muddy blacks; this TV is a feast for the eyes, a testament to Sony's enduring commitment to quality.
The colors are simply breathtaking. Every shade explodes with life, from the sun-kissed gold of a desert landscape to the inky depths of a starry night. Sony's Bravia technology works its magic, delivering a level of detail and accuracy that's hard to believe. Even the subtlest nuances of color are faithfully reproduced, creando una experiencia visual verdaderamente inmersiva.
But the magic doesn't stop at color. The contrast on this TV is something else entirely. Blacks are deep and inky, blacks that seem to swallow light itself. This creates an incredible sense of depth and dimensionality, making every scene feel like you're stepping right into it. Whether it's a heart-pounding action movie or a delicate nature documentary, the Sony LED TV brings it all to life with stunning clarity and precision.
And let's not forget about the motion handling. Fast-paced scenes, like those in a high-octane chase or a thrilling sports game, are rendered with buttery smoothness. No more judder or blur, just razor-sharp precision that keeps you glued to the edge of your seat.
But the brilliance of this Sony LED TV goes beyond the screen. The user interface is intuitive and responsive, making it a joy to navigate. The smart features are seamless and comprehensive, giving you access to a world of entertainment at your fingertips. And the sound? Oh, the sound! This TV delivers a rich, room-filling audio experience that rivals dedicated soundbars.
In a world of ever-increasing competition, Sony's LED TV stands as a beacon of excellence. It's a reminder that this brand hasn't lost its touch, that it's still dedicated to pushing the boundaries of what's possible in home entertainment. If you're looking for a TV that will take your breath away, a TV that will redefine your viewing experience, then look no further than Sony. This is more than just a TV; it's a work of art, a testament to human ingenuity, and an invitation to lose yourself in a world of stunning visuals and immersive sound.
In conclusion, my Sony LED TV is more than just a screen; it's an experience. It's a window to new worlds, a portal to endless entertainment, and a testament to the enduring power of Sony's dedication to quality. If you're looking for the best, look no further. This is it.

Nice TV, have it delivered and set up, it is worth the money, believe me. The legs are over 18”, so if you are not hanging on wall, make sure your tv console is deep enough, most aren’t that deep. Very good picture, and speakers aren’t that bad, but we did end up using a sound bar with it. It is very heavy. We went with Sony because of all the other Sony products we have had in past that have never let us down.

I recently purchased the 85" Sony Bravia TV, and I'm blown away by its picture quality. The colors are vibrant, and the contrast is impressive. I've watched several 4K movies, and the detail is stunning.
The TV's design is sleek and modern, and the build quality is excellent. The sound quality is also impressive, with clear and loud audio.
I had some experience with smart TVs, and the Sony Bravia's operating system is intuitive and user-friendly. The app selection is also impressive, with all the major streaming services available.
I highly recommend the 85" Sony Bravia TV to anyone looking for an exceptional viewing experience. It's worth every penny you spend

Upgraded to this from the XBR 65in I bought 10 years ago. Beautiful colors - some slight blooming in very dark rooms, but it is fine. No issues with this - but wish it didn't have any bloatware. People just connect streamers to these anyway.

When we first decided on this BIG TV, we were a bit apprenhisive as we had a new puppy in the house. We did not want it to fall over and thought wall-mounted would not be possible due to size and weight. We purchased the mount recommended by the salesman and it has worked perfectly. The TV has amazing sound quality and picture clarity. Have absolutely no complaints, except for the weight. This is a VERY HEAVY TV.

Awesome TV! I didn't think I'd spend the amount I did for a new TV but it's definitely worth every penny. I've only had Roku or Samsung TVs and I can say that the Sony TV is by far the easiest and most convenient in it's way of picking shows to watch or apps to open. The picture quality is beyond exceptional and paired with a soundbar, makes for a great choice to include in your home.

Sony makes the best television you can buy. It's not just the picture quality. It's the quality of the actual TV. You can tell that it's built to last and it makes sense since Sony's been around since the 60s or 50's making them

This is the best bang for your buck TV out there. No normal person wants/needs to spend thousands of dollars on an OLED when this exists. Picture is amazing. Google TV is awesome.
