The tv is phenomenal looking and Dolby vision is very good. It gets plenty bright in my darken dungeon of a living room. Being 85 inches really makes a difference even with me sitting away from the TV 13 feet and I'm coming from a 75 inch TV. Unfortunately, The first TV I received had a vertical line going down the TV that was visible to the naked eye even though it didn't seem to effect the picture . Now, before u say it, it isn't the pixels. It the actual screen itself ( see uploaded picture.) So, I sent it back and Best Buy came through with flying colors except for the week wait for my replacement,but its 85 inches and I know they don't have them lying around. Now, I got my replacement TV and it has the same issue with the vertical line going down the screen except its a little less visible unless you are right up on it . So, I'm fuming and now decided enough with dealing with the middle man/ seller Best Buy , after all they are just the seller and aren't the maker, I decided to call Sony and is now dealing with them directly. Maybe, Sony can least tell me if its the way the TV made or send me a better replacement . Once again Best Buy and their people did fine, but I'm just fed up with the wait and the panel lottery and think dealing with Sony , cause I've read where other buyers having Sony TV from other stores not named Best Buy with this issue, may solve this issue finally.

I recently decided to get into 4k and bought a Samsung Q8 TV. Coming from a Samsung plasma the motion blur on the Samsung drove me nuts. Also TV from DirecTV did not look very good. Some channels looked better than others but it actually looked like the picture was worse than on my 1080p plasma. I was told by many people that this Sony TV handled motion better. So I traded the Q8 for the X900F. Immediately after having this TV installed I watched a scene from a TV show on my DirecTV DVR that looked horrible on the Samsung and it looked just as bad on this TV. So it turns out that the issues with picture quality on the Samsung that were also prevalent on the Sony were the fault of DirecTV and not either television. 4k and regular Blu-ray discs look glorious on this TV. Colors are very bright, saturated and clear. However the major drawback to this television is the glossy screen. The front door to my house is on the wall directly opposite of where my TV is mounted. So on a sunny afternoon the windows around the door are reflected on the TV screen. The Samsung Q8 handled these reflections much better. Because I didn't find much difference in the picture quality between the Q8 and the X900F I decided to go back to the Samsung. The screen reflections ended up being the deal breaker for me. If you have a dark room that does not have light sources interacting with the screen then this TV will probably be just fine for you. It does indeed have very good picture quality.

I am VERY happy with this tv. It has amazing picture quality and pretty decent sound too. The highlight for me however is the Android TV built in. If you are an android/Google user this tvs setup is simple and amazing. You basically log into the tv with your Google account during setup and all your typically viewing apps are logged into as well. Then they are a click away. Even Netflix and Google play have each a dedicated button on the remote. It also has the Google assistant built into the remote with a button. If you are a Google fan you would love this tv hands down.
