  • LG worked best at the 8000 level for a much lower price point, but the dual database processing, superior contrast (look at this model side by side with the 800E model and you really see the difference), the Sony won the 900/9000 comparison
  • Sony X900F is very good, but it is hard to recommend at the current prices.

  • The Sony was easy to assemble out of box, color and picture needed no adjustments right out of the box
  • As for television, set up and programming went well Sony software upgrade made a difference.

Reviews around service (5.00 of 5)

  • Great service from Amazon with a few issues because there is no online manual available for this set yet
  • XBR’s are in my opinion the best consumer tv’s on the market, always have been
  • Amazon has the best customer service is the only positive from this purchase.

Reviews around series (5.00 of 5)

  • XBR’s are in my opinion the best consumer tv’s on the market, always have been
  • To most I'd probably recommend the 2018 Vizio P or M series where you have a better chance of getting a great panel.
  • I was excited for the 2018 models, P series especially.
  • XBR’s are in my opinion the best consumer tv’s on the market, always have been
  • Instead of wasting a lot of space talking about the quality of the picture (believe me, it is there), I am going to concentrate on some finer points, particularly those real and perceived weak points:(This is replacing a 2009 Sony Z-Series TV, which I also love and still consider a fantastic TV; it was the first year of Internet-capable TVs if I remember correctly, and I used the DLNA features with Universal Media Server, but could never get a Plex profile to work right, so I am happy to have a newer TV that supports Plex via App, besides for the 4k, HDR, etc., etc.

Reviews around picture quality (4.26 of 5)

  • Bottom line, the TV looks great (both hardware and picture quality) but the user experience is just too frustrating
  • The picture quality on this TV is better than anything I’ve seen before — granted this is my first 4K TV
  • Great picture quality, poor software adoption, android is slow and not the most user friendly.
  • The picture quality is excellent, colors are much more vibrant and blacks are better than 800D. HDR has been improved as well as adding DV support
  • So this is as much an android tv issue as it is a comcast/xfinity issue, and by that it means Sony should have thought first before getting involved

Reviews around set (3.86 of 5)

  • XBR’s are in my opinion the best consumer tv’s on the market, always have been
  • The included stand does an adequate job of holding up the TV, but does not seem stable enough to support the set in the event of an earthquake, which we have plenty of here in California
  • No regrets about getting a smaller set and skipping the TCL 6
  • I love the Sony, it was worth paying extra, the Sony 4k Triluminos Blu-Ray I already had plays well with the set and movies look incredible
  • The TV walks you through setting up the remote so that you can use it to control set-top boxes (in my case DirecTV) - made it drop dead simple

Reviews around stand (3.75 of 5)

  • Hate the foot stands but the rest is wonderful
  • So this is as much an android tv issue as it is a comcast/xfinity issue, and by that it means Sony should have thought first before getting involved
  • I thought my ideal stand was either a perfect 90-degree version of the Sony A1E, or perhaps the A8F, which I had my eye on due to its very low profile, minimalist stand.
  • XBR’s are in my opinion the best consumer tv’s on the market, always have been
  • Prefer the stand on last year's model; seems a tad wobbly with the kangaroo feet.

  • Fantastic value, but all the reports about banding and to a lesser extent dirty screen effect had me too worried.

  • This set isn't exactly a great value but if you want excellent quality and can't afford OLED it might be your best option.
