Q: Why doesn’t the X91J use a better processor like the X1 ultimate or extreme? What is the TV sacrificing in picture quality and function by not using a better processor? What previous model uses the 4K HDR X1?

A: The X85J also uses the 4K HDR X1. Viewed in store I would say quality for the X91J would be between the X85J(slightly lower model) and X90Js that use the new Cognitive Processor. I would guess Sony did not put the Ultimate, Extreme, or New Cognitive Processor because then there would be no reason to move up to X95J series coming out within next couple of months. X91J only size in the lineup that did not get the Cog. Processor. IMO, the Cognitive view would take some getting used to especially for a person that watches movies over and over again to look for Easter Eggs, etc. The CP decides what's important to look at and kind of slightly blurs the rest so you focus on what it thinks you want to focus on. That's one opinion from one store visit but with months of research. Hope that helps.

Q: How's this different from the X900H? (Reading the specs, this one seems like a rebadged X900H but with a higher price tag? What do I gain with this compared to X900H?)

A: Hi ding, thank you so much for your question! The main difference between the two models is the operating system. The X91J comes with Google TV operating system, while the X900H features our Android TV operating system. The Google TV platform on our 2021 TVs features a more content-focused experience, while the Android TV platform on our previous TVs is more app-focused. To know more about their features/product highlights, please check out the following links: KD-85X91J - https://electronics.sony.com/tv-video/televisions/all-tvs/p/kd85x91j XBR-85X900H - https://electronics.sony.com/tv-video/televisions/full-array-led/p/xbr85x900h I hope you find this information to be helpful! - Romeo

Q: Whats the difference between this Bravia 85 inch and kd85x91cj that is sold at Costco?

A: Hi BraviaLover , Our X91J and X91CJ have the same specifications. They only differ in the warranty and other promotions such as Bravia Core. This is a special promotion that is only available with our club partners at this time. I hope this helps! -Vincent

Q: This is TV is my top choice but...... I'm reading a lot about blooming being bad on this TV. What is the experience? Are people over exaggerating or is blooming bad. Some reviews and ratings are saying the TV is unwatchable because of the blooming.

A: Hi MD2002, Thank you for your inquiry and for raising your concern. We have no known issue about blooming or any picture-related issue with our premium Bravia TVs especially for X91J. The picture quality of the TV will depend on many things such as the quality of the source, settings of the TV and depending on the room environment. We highly suggest playing and watching high-quality content with this TV and adjusting the picture settings according to the user's preference. In case you will get this unit and encounter any issue, you can email us at [email protected] so we can assist you further. I hope this helps. Vincent

Q: Are there alternative legs for this TV? My TV cabinet is 16" deep. The stand is 17.37" deep, (IMO it's unnecessarily to deep). If no alternative, I will be unable to buy the 85" X91J or the X95J (when released). I have no intention for mounting the TV.

A: Hello AGB19, Unfortunately, there is only one set of legs for this TV. The measurement of the TV stand from front to back is approximately 17 3/8 inches (441.33 mm). If you prefer our KD-85X91J / X95J, you will need to have a new TV cabinet with a deep bigger than the TV stand. This is highly recommended to secure the TV and prevent it from toppling. To know more, you can visit this link for more details: https://www.sony.com/electronics/support/res/manuals/5027/ca8f93dda42bbb7d06e8d56aac9675b8/50270491M.pdf (p3). Thank you for your inquiry! Vincent

Q: I have connected an over the air antenna to the coax antenna port on my bravia kd‑85x91j. But I can’t find the input setting to be able to connect to the antenna. It does not appear to be a choice in the inputs shown. Please help.

A: Hello, We regret to hear you are having an issue with your Sony TV. If your concern is about changing the type of signal to Antenna, please follow the steps below: 1. On the supplied remote, press the HOME button. 2. Select Settings or the Gear icon. 3. Under TV, select Channels. 4. Select Channel setup. 5. Select Cable/Antenna. 6. Select Signal type. 7.

Q: Can this TV output both earphone and speakers at the same time?

A: Hi Rocky, thank you for your inquiry. Unfortunately, If you connect your headphones to the TV headphone jack or through Bluetooth, the TV can't output sound from both the TV speakers and the audio device at the same time. Hope this helps! -Sam

Q: Will the TV remote operate the AT-A7000 soundbar?

A: Yes it will, but you will need to adjust the rear speakers and the subwoofer on the sound bar remote.
