Beautiful picture!
||Posted . Owned for 2 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.We have large windows in our living room with a ton of sunlight coming in. Our old tv looked so dark we could hardly see the picture but with the new tv it’s very crisp, clear and easy to see anytime of the day!

good Sony option
||Posted . Owned for 4 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Sony does a great job with TVs. Solid picture and of course the size of the screen does great. I will be purchasing an OLED next time though. The difference is still amazing

Great TV
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.This is my third Sony Bravia so I'm obviously happy with the product. I bought a 75 2 years ago and love it. I recently moved to a house with a larger family room and a large loft so the 85 is a perfect addition whilst the 75 moves to the loft. The Android TV functionality works well and set up was easy with my Android phone. The key to this TV vs cheaper models of large TVs is the full array backlighting. It really does make a difference. Tip: Have it delivered. The box is HUGE.

Do NOT buy this TV!
||Posted . Owned for 11 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I have been a Sony fan my entire life and am soooooo disappointed by the X950H 85"! The TV is AMAZING when it is working, but 9 months after I bought it, it suddenly shut off and the Sony logo started flashing red. Thank goodness I bought the warranty, but it took Best Buy 3 weeks to come out. They were able to get fix the issue for about two months, then the same thing happened. My second tech visit involved the tech replacing one of the panels only to find that the issue started again after a few minutes. The tech is coming back in two weeks to replace a different panel; My Tv has been unwatchable for almost 5 weeks out of the last year. Best Buy sold me on this warranty explaining how awesome it would be if anything goes wrong, but they keep stuff from you. For the first year, they wont allow you to exchange the tv and your warranty service is limited as it is still under the manufacturer's warranty. I literally have to wait a month (my year mark) for them to even consider allowing me to exchange this $4,000 TV. The tech even admitted that all of his 4 calls earlier were all Sony TVs. This particular model could just be a fluke, but it has made me lose faith in the company and I will be buying a different brand next month when I can exchange it. Again, this model is one of the most AMAZING/BEAUTIFUL tv's I have ever seen....when it is working. The problem is that it is extremely unreliable.

Big screen experience
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.This TV is great for movies. Contrast, colors and details are superb. It lacks HDMI 2.1 features such as variable refresh rate and auto latency mode. But when it comes to watching movies and 99% of current games those features are irrelevant. The X950H is a great panel. I bought the 85 inch version and it makes watching 4K Blu-ray’s an amazing experience. Sound is nothing special, so a sound bar or external speakers are the way to go. All things considered, this is a superb panel.

Good all around TV
||Posted . Owned for 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I’m coming from a 75 inch Samsung QLED from 2017. This Sony is good for most uses. This TV has thicker bezels so in my opinion doesn’t look as nice and clean on the wall. It gets plenty bright. Picture is good especially in 4K. I find my basic cable with Comcast just looks ok compared to my old Samsung. Operating system seems to run well. My biggest two complaints are the lack of hdmi 2.1 and the picture ratio seems off in standard HD. I have tried to adjust and it either doesn’t fill the whole screen or looks too zoomed in. I don’t remember that ever being an issue with my Samsung when watching regular HD cable.

Thank you so much for your review.
While we are pleased you are satisfied with the exceptional picture quality, Android operating system, and stylish bezel design of our X950H, we are sorry if it doesn't have some features you are looking for and if you are encountering picture issues when watching standard HD videos.
For HDMI 2.1, the X950H will support up to 18 Gbps transfer rate for 4K HDR and Enhanced Audio Return Channel (eARC) to allow for Hi-res Audio including Dolby Atmos and DTSX which is considered an HDMI 2.1 feature.
