Customers highly value the 85" ClassX900H Series LED 4K UHD Smart Android TV for its exceptional picture quality, large screen, and affordable price. Many customers rave about the stunning clarity, vibrant colors, and deep blacks of the TV's display, making it an excellent choice for gaming and movie enthusiasts. The TV's user-friendly interface and easy setup process are also highly appreciated, allowing users to quickly connect and enjoy their favorite content.
Ive owned the TV for almost 30 days and am very pleased so far. I dont upgrade often and didnt jump on the 4k bandwagon early. The X900h is replacing a 58" Panasonic 1080P Plasma that I bought new in 2009 which still works like new. Hard to believe they were relatively the same price at time of purchase. I wanted this model since it had full array dimming, HDMI 2.1, and was native 120hz, and could game at 120FPS. Originally I was torn Sony's newer models with XR or OLED or last years model for a better price. Im not a TV expert and some of the variances I researched seemed negligible to the average user so in the end the X900H won out. Ive read a lot of negative reviews about the Andriod TV OS and interface. Slow, buggy, etc. Ive not had that experience. The Android OS is fast and responsive, plus its very simple to navigate and use. Theres tons of apps since its Google Play and loads of free content. I am not using WiFi and have the TV hardwired to my fiber optic connection. Before using the set after skipping most of the setup menus which you can go back and do I installed the latest firmware update which only took minutes. Not sure if the latest update added this or not since i hadnt seen any videos or reviews talk about it but you have several different HDMI input type selections ex. Regular, Enhanced for HQ 4k content and gaming at 4k@120FPS, and Dobly Vision Enhanced. I was unaware of the last setting but is a nice benefit. Many complain about the remote but its functional and voice controlled as well. For example press the button and speak the input you want HDMI 4 and it will switch inputs. Many of the functions can be controlled by voice. The picrure is excellent and the brightness, contrast, and black levels are sufficent for all the things ive watched and displayed. The colors are bright and the picture is clear and crisp. I didnt have the TV calibrated, i watched some videos on the internet for settings and started there. The picture is great right out of the box for most. All in all i would recommend this TV for picture, build quality, gaming, movies, display, and general viewing. The front frame has a nice quality premium look with aluminum finish. Glare is not bad and i have set in a room with lots of windows and light picture is super bright still. Wide viewing angles with minimal picture deterioration at extreme angles. My HTPC display is set at 3840x2160 with scale size at 250%. Fonts are clear, clean, with no blurring. Streaming multiple region content with no display issues. If you are going to stream Netflix to the TV from PC save yourself some time and buy the .99 HEVC video extension so you can from Windows 10. This is running through an AV Receiver Onkyo TX RZ810 and everything i display from HTPC movies, media, computer display are all in HDR and the TV performs nicely. The AV Receiver upscales all content to TV in either HDR or Dolby Vision. Setup of my equipnent was easy and painless the TV reconized all of it. I use a digital tos link for sound of TV apps through AV and HT. Didnt use Earc even though AV equipped. Plus the HDCP chain from HTPC through AV to TV is continuous so i can stream any HDR etc content with no issues. The money saved by buying last years model which is feature rich will pay for the upgrade from Xbox One to Xbox Series X. This is a great TV for the price and includes many features to help future proof it for a while. Pair this TV with HTPC and next gen gaming and be amazed!

As an owner of an LG B8 OLED, I have to say I am very impressed with this set especially at this HUGE 85" inch size. My TV stand couldn't handle the length of the legs which you should highly consider when buying this size, but I was about to buy a TV stand to mount it easily. The blacks are deep (not oled deep), Dolby Vision and Standard HDR 4K content are super detailed and vibrant, upscaling 1080p content to 4k is suberp, and best of all the motion is fantastic. Android TV is super snappy and simple to use. Could not be any happier with this set. Just buy it honestly.

My 10 years old TV is a Sony Bravia 46" so 2020 was the perfect time for an upgrade. A phenomenal upgrade, this huge 85 inches TV is insane! Despite some firmware needed (Android TV) that fixed some minor sounds issues and along with a decent soundbar (brand new Nakamichi 9.4) I have a real home theater with deeper blacks, bright colors, Dolby Vision and Dolby Atmos....perfect mix. This TV is great and it is a SONY. My old Sony TV 46" still working like a charm so I am expecting this amazing 4K UHD do the same.
