Q: How far apart are the legs from its widest point? I want to see if it will fit my TV stand.
A: this is an important question that best buy should always inform buyers of on every tv, because they always display mounted on the wall. i too had this problem without noticing it. all previous tv's had been single pedestal that fit on my stand. i solved this by simply buying a black 4 foot pre-made shelf at lowe's and placed it on the stand and under the tv. it works fine for me and is quite stable. the legs sit at an angle just under 40 inches at the front to 26 inches at the back. by the way, you will love this tv.
A: This is very subjective to your liking. Out of the box the tv is nice and you’l notice most movies pop you can simply turn on HDR10 for anything on the screen, or you can go into setting and make minor adjustments. I personally followed these instructions and made my own adjustments thereafter to my liking. https://www.rtings.com/tv/reviews/sony/x900f/settings But for the best vibrant settings start off with HDR10 enabled and go from there. You’ll notice the colors are saturated but once fixed it’s an amazing tv. I almost went for an OLED but the burn image really held me back. I’m glad I purchased this tv instead. By the way, if you want to use 4K devices make sure you’re using HDMI input 2/3. If you are using a sound bar, use HDMI input 3 (ARC) for the soundbar. And don’t forget to go to the “home” menu and enable 4K on the input (will only work with 2/3 for full 4K and will only get 2k from other inputs. Some of these things aren’t mentioned in the website so just wanted to clarify.
Q: Hi, Are these new tvs instore to view yet? If not when can I see one instore? Thanks, DS
A: I asked in my local BB and was told Sony are holding back the X900F so they can get rid of X900E stock. There are no tvs on display in any BB store as far as I know.
Q: HOW DOES THE 55 900F COMPARE TO 55 930E BUT, ARE THE SAME PRICE ?
A: As a newer model, Sony X900F comes with some improvement in design and technology than the predecessor X900E. In term of design, the striking difference is on their stand where the stand of X900F is much wider than X900E. In term of technologies, the striking improvement is on their picture engine where X900F now is powered by 4K HDR X1 Extreme Engine while X900E is powered by X900E. Additionally, X900F now is powered by X-tended Dynamic Range Pro 6X while X900E X-tended Dynamic Range Pro 5X. The other improvement brought by X900F, now with an upcoming firmware update, it can be updated to support Dolby Vision. Meanwhile, in term of performance and picture quality, X900F may offer a bit brighter peak brightness and a bit better performance of other features, but the improvement is not too significant. So, which is a better choice between them? Actually, X900E has been discontinued by the manufacturer, but some merchants still sold it, so you still can buy it and of course its price has dropped. On other hand, Sony X900F is recently launched that course make its price is still high, so it is not surprising if with the same screen, X900F is priced hundreds dollar more expensive than X900E. Now the decision comes back to you according to your preferences. If you don’t mind to spend hundreds more dollar of your money, X900F might be a better choice for you. In addition it is a newer model, it also offers a bit better picture quality and some additional features than X900E. But even so, if you want cheaper TV, Sony X900E also not a bad choice since its performance is not far behind X900F.
Q: What's the best HDMI cable to buy for the Sony 900f tv.
A: As long as the HDMI cable is 2.0 with 18GIgs of bandwidth, the brand doesn't really matter. This TV takes full advantage of HDMI cables with 18gigs bandwidth and those are the cables required for HDR and full 4:4:4 chroma.
Q: How can the idle tv standby mode be turned off? Is there an ECO menu? Can't find it under setting.
A: Hi SHEMA, Yes, you can turn the ECO or TV stand by function OFF. On your remote, just press HOME, go down to SETTINGS, then go to POWER, click Eco and then select Idle TV stand by, set it to OFF. Regards, Zac
Q: What is the input response in game mode?
A: The input lag in game mode has been reported to be 41ms for 1080p gaming, and 25ms for 4K gaming. Very similar figures to last years models that also uses the same X1 Extreme processor.
Q: Am I correct in assuming this will be an ips panel considering it's boasting a wide viewing angle?
A: Sony has not confirmed anything in this regard at conventions, however based on speculation and last years models, the 900f and higher models will have a VA panel. The 850f and below may use IPS, as they have done in their 2017 Models.
