Sony - 65" Class X800H Series LED 4K UHD Smart Android TV (2020)

This was our first big screen TV. We have been watching IPADs and small flat screens for the last few years. Finally had enough and decided to upgrade. Price points are all over the place. I didn't want a cheap stripped down model but I also did not want to break the bank. This seemed like a compromise of the two extremes. It had just enough quality to make you feel like you were paying a little extra for some quality without the > 1000 price tag. Got it on sale for 799 with decent amount of reward points to defray even that cost down a few hundred. I like the Sony brand. I have been using their consumer grade still cameras for quite a while and was always impressed with the video capabilities so I leaned toward Sony when I shopped. The picture in the showroom looked warmer and not as contrived as some of the more discount 65 inch models. This may have been the setup and my pre-conceived notions on Sony, but it honestly looked better to me. I had it delivered with basic delivery. I was pleasantly surprised they brought it into the room I wanted it in. It was up a flight a stairs and I would probably have not been able to carry it myself. They did not unbox it (I think that is standard unless you buy the enhanced delivery). The box was easy to open with a kind of foam pedestal that the TV sits on while you are prepping it. I had a stand already built and ready to have the TV mounted to it. It mounted rather easily to the stand although I needed to do that twice. I didn't notice the spacers that you need to put in the VESA holes until I opened up the remote control bag. So I had to unmount and remount. Not a big deal with another person helping to lift the TV. Once I got it turned on and wired up. ( I used a physical network cable since my router is directly under my TV set). I was very happy with the software. I was worried that it would be proprietary but it was Android TV, which meant I did not need an additional set top box to enable any streaming services. All the main services were out of the box like Netflix, HBO Max, and Hulu and much more. Because it is Android, it has apps available from the Google Play store like VPN clients and IPTV clients without a need for an outside set top device. There are even apps that allow for viewing of my QNAP network drive video library. I was up and running on all my streaming services within 15 minutes. I hooked a satellite receiver to HDMI1 and off it went. After setting up the satellite remote to see the TV. Everything went well. I haven't tried to do a single remote but there is some crossover functionality that I set up and it seems to work. All I can say is... Its BIG for my eyes. I love it and got used to it rather quickly but when you move from a 27 inch to a 65 inch. It is a drastic change. Watched some sports and streaming movies. I have not noticed any jittering of the picture. The refresh rate looks good to me. The clarity and colors are incredible as far as I can see. The blacks may be a little gray because of the price point but I really do not notice it unless I am in a darkened room. I believe that is common on TVs of this class and not an issue to me. Sound is good but a bit tinny but it seems very directional. Impressive based on the fact that they are internal speakers. I played with the settings a bit and got it tuned to my 50+ year old ears. Its passable but I have a 5.1 sound bar with rear speakers ordered to complete my setup. My pluses are: Android TV Sony quality

Excellent color picture and overall a solid television, I like what Sony brings to the table

TV is excellent. Remote can control cable box amongst other things. Only issue it’s hard to program. Had to call customer service a few times because it wouldn’t take a RE-program after the kids messed with it. Otherwise the TV is grade A. Originally bought open box 55” was impressed... but it had an issue. Went back and got the 65” brand new. Beats the comparable LG and Samsung models feature and picture wise in my opinion.

Great picture and easy to use home page. I added the sound bar pairing which was a great option. Geek Squad did an awesome job!

This TV is amazing! It’s so clear and pretty easy to navigate through. The only downside was the purchase. I originally went to one Best Buy and decided on this tv, went through all the changes and they realized they didn’t have it. The option was to order online which we didn’t want to do with the mismanagement of deliveries as well as missing packages. We had to go to another store which was a feat within itself as we live in New York and the traffic is horrible. It was worth it though because we absolutely love our new tv and was happy we made this purchase!

Wow! I’m totally happy with both, my Sony Smart TV , and my Sony Sound bar. I never imagined that a TV would be so, “User Friendly. I might add that, I’m pretty sharp, at reading and following an owner’s manual; however, in this case, the, “Prompter Set Up,” was superb. Not at any moment, was I intimidated or perplexed. I couldn’t be more satisfied with my purchase. I’m looking forward to years up enjoyment from my Sony X800H

I love my new Sony TV. It has a beautiful picture across every viewing platform! Even more beautiful than the Plasma it replaced! Remote now controls my Hoppers from Dish! After exhaustively reading reviews from all kind of TV models, the size and the price is right! Took off 1 star because the remote is not back-lit! My wife is jealous and wants it! Nah! It's a winner if you want great quality at a good price! I just want a great picture!! Life us too short to be nit picky! Buy it!

This TV is just perfect. I have been a Sony guy for long time. I always buy Sony tvs because of the quality. This tv is wonderful for everything for live tv, movies, and video games. I would totally recommend this tv i know you are paying twice as much compared to a samsung but it's totally worth it trust me.
