Excellent on Xbox one and everything
|Posted .I was looking for a tv that would be good for Online multiplayer. Something with low input lag. This TV covers that. I pre-ordered the Xbox one X and wanted to be ready for the full 4K experience. Aside from that, the picture from this tv is amazing even with a 1080p signal from my regular Xbox One. Funny thing is, I was watching some 4K video through the built in YouTube app in the TV, and it looked awesome. Then, I came to the realization that under the “quality” setting of the app, I was streaming 1080p signal. Switched it to 2160p, and dear god. My jaw dropped. Truly a sight to behold. One other thing, I returned an LG 65SJ8500 due to horrible black levels, and really bad local dimming. This XBR900e has outrageously good black levels. I highly recommend this tv, especially if you play online multiplayer shooter games. My Xbox one games also look even better on this tv and it’s not even 4K. I can only imagine what the ONE X will look like!

Great TV
|Posted .I have a 10yr old vizio nothing wrong with it. I wanted a tv that can support HDR 2.2. This TV is the best. I use my Denon to control the inputs I also do 100% streaming through Apple TV 4K. This tv has live football mode which is amazing. It is even better playing the Xbox one x unbelievable picture. And for $1499 the same price for my vizio 10yrs ago. Over all unbelievable picture for my old tv to this one weather I’m streaming or playing video games.

Fantastic TV
|Posted .I bought a 65" Samsung tv first, $300 cheaper than the Sony. I already own a 46" Sony LCD TV I purchased in 2009 new. The Samsung's picture was not better than my 2009 Sony, plus the motion rate wasn't as good either, which is important to me. How a TV that is 8 years newer is not at least a little better is beyond me. I decided to try the Sony "65 and Sony, even being $300 more was more than worth the money. My 2009 Sony was on almost 24hrs a day, because I sleep with it on and my dog likes it on when I'm at work, and it was going strong. I am a firm believer in paying more for better products and in this case I believe that's what I did. I will never buy any TV that's not a Sony. Can't stress how much it is worth the $300 more than the Samsung TV.

Great tv and quality
|Posted .Originally we came to the decision to buy a LG TV model 65UH7700. All the reviews looked really good so we decided to go ahead and take the plunge. We got it home and set it up and after a couple days I noticed in low light situations there was quite a bit of flashlighting in the corners. So we turned on Doctor Strange and noticed it so bad that we decided to take the TV back. When researching it looks like you have to keep trying to get a good LG TV with the least amount of flashlighting. That certainly says something about your quality control LG. Best Buy didn't have a replacement LG so we went with a Samsung MU 7000 next. That was a mistake. The picture quality was poor, grainy and pixelated. Using Doctor Strange as our litmus test we noticed washed out blacks and not so vivid colors as the LG and I even spent 1-2 hrs playing around with the settings. Back to Best Buy I went. Lastly I bit the bullet paid a little extra and got the Sony. After spending some time with the Settings, particularly the motion options, we are very satisfied. The picture is clear and crisp. There is absolutely no flashlighting and the colors are very vivid. Just make sure you spend some time with the options and set it up the way you want it. Finally got it all mounted on our wall and it looks incredibly clean. My only issue with the Sony is that the operating system is quite antiquated. There are just too many options and windows you have to navigate to change different settings. Just make it easy to turn on and play a movie! They can really learn something from LG on this point, which came out of the box pretty much ready to go. Also, just being nitpicky, the remote control has just too many buttons and options. LG really got a lot right. This was our first brand-new TV purchase since my inherited first gen plasma and it's nice to be finally updated, although even this new rv has a hard time keeping up with the deep blacks of my plasma. Now all I need is a 4K Blu-ray player and our DirecTV to be upgraded for 4K and I'll be all set. In all honesty, I was originally satisfied with the LG if they could get their flashlighting situation under control. If you just want a great TV without having to worry about quality issues this is the one for you.

Stunning picture
|Posted .I am absolutely in love with this tv. I recently purchased this television to replace an L.G. OLED 55". The picture on this one is crisper, more vivid, and has less grain on lower quality channels and movies. Movements are not distorted or distracting even in high action scenes. I would recommend a sound bar, as the sound quality isn't too sharp, but there is an option to turn up voices when the background noise is louder than the characters, big thumbs up to that! The base is sturdy, and well balanced, so I'm not worried about that accidental bump that could make it topple over.

Very Good TV
|Posted .I bought this as an open box item with just a little dust and a scratch and saved 500 bucks, there are a lot of settings and the TV works best with the latest firmware, I do not use smart apps on it so I cannot review them, this tv can get VERY bright and VIVID if you set it that way, after a little tweaking I have it perfect, lost one star due to Samsung Tv's seeming to come factory set the way I like the picture. However this one has much more options picture wise, it still has a 3.5 mm audio out which is a must for anyone using a receiver with no optical port. 4 HDMI instead of the usual 2 or 3. 4k has a brilliant picture when unobstructed by Netflix compression. I am very pleased. If you can modify black levels and color tone brightness contrast in your own it's perfect, if you see it in the store and like the stock picture it will be great too, if you find it lacking in comparison to a similar Samsung don't be fooled this tv can do it and the geek squad I'm sure will calibrate the tv to your liking at a low cost

Amazing
|Posted .This TV is amazing and worth every penny. I had a Sony XBR 52 inch that I purchased several years back, before this one - Still works and still looks fantastic after all these years - but I just recently moved into a new house and needed a new, larger TV. I also wanted to get a Smart Tv so I could finally attempt to get rid of cable. The TV uses Google Play, in which you can download any additional apps to the ones that are already on the TV, and because of these features I was able to finally get rid of Cable. It has the easiest, most user friendly operating system and the picture is just amazing. I will never buy a different brand TV, Sony has given me no reason to ever to ever do so. They have earned my business for life. I am in Love! The only other TV I would even consider over this one, is either a larger version of this TV or one of their OLED TV’s.

Q: QuestionCAN U SHOW ME STEP BY STEP SET UP OF CONNECTIONS TO TV INCLUDING POWER CORD. BOUGHT YESTERDAY FROM BEST BUY
Asked by Anonymous.
- A:Answer Hi there, Assemble the stand first (see my review) 2 people to carefully lift TV and install on the stand (if installing on a stand) Get the TV into position, centered on your stand Get the Power Brick assembled and plugged into TV (right side of TV from the front view) Install the latest HDMI cable (nothing very special , just a newer HDMI cable) from your cable box into HDMI port 2 or 3 for full, best 4k at 60 hz Get remote prepared (install batteries that are supplied) Plug in Ethernet cable if you have one Plug black IR blaster connection into the back of the TV (small black connection at bottom right of TV--below the yellow video jack input NOW plug in the power to a wall outlet Now hit the power button on the remote TV boots up-you will see the Android screen loading the operating system Follow the prompts (log into google if you have an account) It will find your cable box Setup IR blaster when prompted--see my review below Use input on remote to find your set top box and click on it You should now see TV shows Hope this helps. Great TV with one concern I hadn't seen this mentioned anywhere before and I looked at a lot of reviews. Potential Concern: My TV turned on by itself in the early morning even though I had both timers turned to OFF (at bottom of GUI beside the main setting button). However there is another setting you need to be aware of: You have to into settings and find the Bravia Sync settings. Here you find the option to sync your devices to the Sony TV. You can have it turn on or turn off other HDMI attached devices. I believe what happened in my case was an automatic firmware update on my TV cable box by my Rogers cable provider and this recycled the power on the box which in turn powered on my TV. OR, a power glitch--although no indication of disruptions on other appliances. I'm just happy that I was not watching the fireplace channel before I turned the TV off because it comes up with the last channel viewed when the TV was powered off! You can choose want you want to happen or choose NOT to sync at all. For now , I chose to not sync a power on with my TV and external HDMI devices. With that out of the way: Another potential gotcha: According to Sony support, the IR blaster only controls one device --either your cable box or receiver. You MUST (although I can say only one seems to work for me) use both sensors in front of your cable box to get it to work (not just one hanging unused). Does not work with my Denon 1912 receiver. I set my sound to TV speakers, use an optical connection to my receiver and set it to a preferred level and tweak the volume on my TV through the remote. In other words I use both internal and external speaker simultaneously. My installation and setup experience: Shipping: My original shipment was late and no appointment was made as I expected Packaging: Was very good and drivers opened box for me to do a visual inspection (no problems) Stand Setup: Easy--4 chrome screws to attach back plate to stand (4 screws were already preinstalled to hold plate securely as well) and 4 black screws to attach to back of TV. Initial TV setup: Easy to follow MUST use all capitals for postal code in Canada! Used wired connection for firmware update. Connectivity: Wired and wireless are very good for me but my router is in the same room which makes a difference. I also have a very fast connection speed--100 mb/s from provider Android: I love Android and have several devices, so I know how to navigate the OS. I also connected a fast SSD to the USB 3 port and migrated my apps to it. I believe it made the navigation of the OS even quicker. I also have an Android based Nvidia Shield box connected but often can't tell which I am using but prefer the Nvidia shield for rock steady 4K steaming (2160 Res). The TV itself will default to 1440 or 1080 if the internet traffic is heavy (peak hrs) I have Chrome running on the tv Android OS and with a Bluetooth mouse and keyboard email and browsing is quite fast. Remote: Takes a little getting used to--Use Home a lot, Back, Action menu for picture setting access. Give it a chance and you will find it does a lot of things! Worst part is hitting the DISCOVER button accidently. Processor and Ram: Seems to have a quad core Rockchip ARM v7 Rev2, 3229 processor with 2 gig of ram and 8 gig storage and this seems like a common Android box configuration--not the most powerful configuration but gets it done for the most part. Better than average performance but still no where near my NShield. Note:If you have trouble with the OS , hold the power button down for about 5 sec and you reboot the operating system and that usually gets things back on track. Picture Quality: Great and 4K HDR from YouTube will blow you away, Netflix is very good but I don't think you are always getting the Resolution you think, depending on when you are accessing it--throttled down?? Upscaling: 1080p DVDs great, 720P good and 480 DVDs results seem to vary in terms of upscaling quality. No noticeable upscaling of cable and streaming content. Blacks are very good (on par with my Vizio 4K M series), almost no blooming or flashlight effect like my Vizio (I still love my Vizio but wanted 65 in TV with the right stand) Screen Uniformity is very good- very little darkening in the corners. Very little, to no Dirty screen effect--bad on my Vizio. Don't be afraid to play with the settings for a picture you personally like (depending on what you watch, time of day and room lighting. I have a semi bright room and sit about 6 feet away , right in front. I hope this is helpful--too technical for some and not technical enough for others :-)

Q: QuestionHow do the 3 following Sony 65" TVs available here at Best Buy differ? I posted the 3 models I am referring and the current pricing as of today 09/15/17 1. XBR-65X750D $1299.99 2. XBR65X850E $1599.99 3. XBR65X900E $1999.99 Thanks
Asked by James.
- A:Answer They each have different features and would excel for each type of person. Are you a gamer? are you just gonna watch movies? is it for your kids? If you just want to know the difference go to "compare" on the best buy website and click "only show differences". Sorry I dont have the patience to list all their differences but in a nut shell. I will include a link below that will really help you to see the differences between these types. 750..does not get bright enough so watching in a dark room the blacks will appear gray. Which also makes the contrast poor between colors. 850..no local dimming some spots might be too dark and lack detail but still great with little input lag and great with motion 900..is sweet. great for gaming, normal viewing and just like the 750 & 850 with little input lag and great with motion BUT you can see much more detail with this model as it has local dimming. http://www.rtings.com/

Q: QuestionI just bought this TV but I'm noticing a lot of color bleeding and motion blur on a lot of stuff the motion blur is set to smooth everything is setup right I'm thinking about trading it in for the Samsung mu9000. Is the Samsung better
Asked by Johnny.
- A:Answer I've seen none of those issues with mine. I'm using the default TV settings and using DirecTV via HDMI. Picture has looked perfect since I pugged it in. I would try the default TV settings, if that doesn't work maybe a cable issue or an issue with the cable/sat box.

Q: QuestionJust purchased this beast and I’m wondering is it a good idea to purchase and Apple TV for this??? Will it make any difference?? Will I be able to do more with the Apple TV than if I didn’t have it??
Asked by Joeqf718.
- A:Answer The Sony OS is based on Android/Google. So if you use Google Play Services you will feel right at home and can access all of that Google content. Apple is a different ecosystem with different Service/Store (iTunes, etc). So this comes down to the Ecosystem you use for your media. If you are an Apple Ecosystem user - you will need to buy an Apple Device (like AppleTV) to gain access to that ecosystem of services and content. Its worth noting that both can work together. The Google Play based content will be accessible right from within the Sony TV OS Menu (so will feel more 'baked in') - the Apple iTunes based content will be accessible by selecting the Apple Device (appletv) connected to an HDMI port on he TV (so will feel more like 'connecting to external device' like bluray, xbox, etc).
