Q: What is the stand width on this... looks like as wide as the tv in some pictures Thank you

A: Around 60 inches. The feet can be flipped to save you some space though

Q: what is the ideal viewing distance for this 85" TV ? What is the ideal height off the floor?

A: I am currently sitting at 12 feet away from this TV and it is perfect. To be honest, you could easily get away with sitting even closer I would say 10 feet would be ideal and you will feel totally immersed in the action. You could also move back another 2 - 3 feet and not feel that you are too far away from the Tv. Currently at 12 feet is perfect in my mind to be honest though. I currently have this unit sitting at 40 inches off the floor on a tv stand and it feels perfect. The stand it is on is just the right size at 75 inches wide and 18 inches deep and 40 inches high. I would recommend that stand diameter. Be careful you need approximatley 16 inches of depth to fit the feet onto the stand, don't go any less than 16 deep or the feet will not sit stable on the stand.

Q: What is the box size for transporting the tv

A: Hi zues0759, Here are the dimensions of the package carton: -79 7/8 x 48 1/2 x 11 1/4 inches (2,026 x 1,231 x 284 mm)(WxHxD) ~Ralph

Q: My existing TV us mounted on the wall because I hate to see connecting wires hanging at the back if the wall from the unit . My question is it is wall mountable ? Thanks

A: It is, but the TV weighs 105-lbs by itself......The Wall Bracket should be rated for at least 150-lbs, and attached directly into the wall studs as directed...No Sheetrock Anchors for this thing... If you have a brick or block wall, you should have a professional do it with the appropriate fasteners. This one has a 45-lb reserve on weight, so if you decide to mount a Antenna or a sound-bar you can hang it directly from the VersaMount as well.... just make sure you dont go over the rated weight I used the Sanus Full Motion bracket linked below. It worked AWESOME and i can move it and my XBR85x950g with 1 finger. Extends far enough out that dusting and connecting things behind it is very easy Very solid. Caught it on sale as well fro half price on a Deal-Of-The-Day

Q: Did the 950G at Best Buy go from $3000 to $4300 from June to July?

A: Yes , they were $3k on sale. There are no new 85-950g TVs left at Best Buy. They only have scratch and dent. The full price doesn’t matter anymore. I bought my tv in May and it was a floor model. I don’t even think they had any new ones left in May. This is a 2018 model.

Q: X950G- 75" and 85" have been out of stock for weeks. Is this model being discontinued?

A: I believe it was $1000 off

Q: Is tere an external optical Sound system that will work with this tv???

A: undefined

Q: What are the width and height dimensions exactly?

A: The exact measurements are: Height 43 3/16 and width 75 3/16

A good 85 inch tv
This my first high end product that I get, and I gotta say everything is good with this tv ive heard that the black levels are bad and theyre certainly not that great with this tv but everything else including viewing angles are pretty good with this tv I don't think youll be dissapointed picture quality is there the upscaling from 1080p content to 4k is there its noticeable the only issue I encountered is some sound synch issue with a sound bar but that has to do with the android os not the tv itself just disconnect it and connect the tv and it will go away the contrast takes a hit on the 75 and 85 inch models its noticeable at times but it helps you see at any angle thanks to that. The color and brightness are these tv strengths if you are a gamer this a tv for you the input lag is pretty low compared to last years tv. This tv is very sharp as well

No Blooming, No Judder, No Lag, Evenly Lit Screen
Best Buy and Sony at their BEST. The TV is Super Bright - Great Contrast Ratio - A Whopper of an 85 inch TV. I have it hooked up to an old, 2013 model, 2.1 Vizio non Bluetooth, non HDMI, 2.1 bar with connected sub-woofer. Sound and Base is great for normal family room listening. Everything is set to factory default except I turned the eco modes off, I also turned the Android TV Core Services to Disabled, as advised by Rtings.com. It avoids ads and suggestion bar on top at the home screen. I do not need any intrusion or suggestion. I know what to watch. Go the review of this XBR85X950G on Rtings.com and look under Ads to read about this. Look under Sony after you hit click “here” under the Ads part of this model review there. I had no problem NOT agreeing to google agreement for sign in and data collection at the initial setup, just don’t mark any of the agree boxes and just hit next. Do Not consent to installing SAMBA services, it will slow down your TV and more ads will be on the way. In my Picture setting, Auto Picture Mode is Off, Light Sensor Off, under Advanced Settings, adv. contrast enhancer is set to High and Auto Local Dimming is set to Medium. Under Audio, Audio System Prioritization is ON, Sound Mode Sync is ON, A/V sync is set to AUTO and eARC mode is OFF, for what it’s worth. Android sucks as an OS but there are options like Roku, Apple TV, or Amazon Fire Stick etc., if you so desire. In android, you have to to go to the Home Screen from whatever you are watching to change to another app if needed. Samsung and LG’s Tizen OS works much better and faster. The TV key on the remote is assignable to any input, so that helps. BT remote at initial setup recognized the FIOS box, controls it fine. Remote itself gives a lousy cheap feel and sometimes some of the number buttons take more than one press. Simply put, the remote is not a good one. The TV itself is great, though. My sound system is non eARC, Non CEC, 2013 model, a simple Vizio 2.1 sound bar with wireless connected Sub Woofer so I have had no sound problems some mentioned with HDMI/eARC/CEC devices combination of equipment, Even so, I did notice some stuttering, sound/video sync off, and lag or no sound at all (all during the Netflix pausing, rewinding, fast forwarding and then resuming), out of the box, but have had no problem with the sound cutting or not in sync or stuttering on Netflix after the initial PIE update from Sony. I am not going to install the latest Post Pie Sony update as sometimes updates cause more issues than they resolve unless you have a specific need for it. I have nothing connected to the TV that is secure data so security is not a concern for me. All other Apps work fine with my particular unit. I turned the inputs to 4K enhanced as advised by Rtings.com. If you have NEST door bell, there is an app for that in this TV as well so you can see who is at the door while watching this TV. Sony’s VA panel is great. Much, much better than IPS. I noticed No Contrast loss because of the X-Wide viewing technology in the 85 (or 75 inch) model. Contrast and Brightness is wonderful. My family room is a very big, brightly lit, with lots of windows, 24 feet high ceiling room, and I have had no noticeable issue with reflections or other issues being caused by the X-Wide technology on this TV as some have mentioned on various boards. I believe they are being overly critical. Blacks are blacks and grays are gray on this TV’s VA panel. No blooming at all on my unit. No loss of contrast or degradation within wide viewing angles. In other words PERFECT in my experience. No problem connecting to WiFi. May be my Unit is a perfect one, lol. Best Buy, Annapolis, MD, phone buying service (due to Covid-19 restrictions) was exemplary. My dealing with the manager, Miss Spring, was wonderful. She is polite, patient, helpful and knowledgeable. Best Buy delivery was perfect. Totally satisfied with Beat Buy. I had some issues with the TV legs and remote and SONY response was nothing short of Exemplary and Perfect. They sent me the required parts right away within 2 days. 3 weeks and still looking for a stand. For now, I have it sitting on 2 side tables, I had it in the floor before, which btw, is not bad at all. It needs a stand, at BARE MINIMUM, 70 inch Wide and 16 inch Deep, but that is with legs corners barely on the bench top. It will work but an extra inch or so at both ends will be better. Good stands for this TV start very high around $500 or more, although Best Buy does have a low height stand for it, around $300 when not on sale, which is very good. DO NOT get a stand more than 24 inch high or you will end up tiring your eyes looking up if you are a binge watcher like I am. Ideal height is 12 to 18 inches in my opinion. Remember this 85 inch TV sits up very high in aspect. In the end, you simple can’t go wrong wit Best Buy and this Sony XBR85X950G TV. Remember, the reviews and the follow up criticism by the consumers is based upon equipment & software reviewing this TV’s technical specification. It has no bearing on what you actually see, unless your unit is defective, period. Take the criticism with a pinch of salt and enjoy the finest Non OLED TV experience you can buy today. This is a great TV indeed. Kudos for o SONY and Best Buy Annapolis. A totally satisfied paying customer. Go buy one and enjoy.

Works great and shows the best picture, we love it
These screen is an amazing device. It is incredibly well designed and easy to use, we paired with a higher end Sony sound bar and that definitely made it all work great, we wanted a home theatre, and we definately got one, zero regrets. Best Buy made it it even better by delivering it during the pandemic no fuss, no muss, purely professional! (Tip your people with an envelope!) couldn't be happier. We absolutely love its performance and capability - it delivers excellence.
