  • Sony X900F is very good, but it is hard to recommend at the current prices.
  • 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
  • As for television, set up and programming went well Sony software upgrade made a difference.

  • The Sony was easy to assemble out of box, color and picture needed no adjustments right out of the box

Reviews around service (5.00 of 5)

  • 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.
  • Great service from Amazon with a few issues because there is no online manual available for this set yet

Reviews around series (5.00 of 5)

  • 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.
  • 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
  • Great picture quality, poor software adoption, android is slow and not the most user friendly.
  • 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
  • Picture quality is fantastic, even with lower resolution sources
  • 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

Reviews around color (4.13 of 5)

  • If I bump the brightness up the blacks appear blacker for sure, but I instantly noticed the blacks were overpowering colors.. some colors/detail on a mostly black background completely fade away.
  • These settings produce an overblown vivid color rendition that is unacceptable.
  • The colors are super vibrant, blacks are deep, and the clarity and contrast is wonderful
  • Setup was easy and I didn't need to touch any of the video settings to get rich, vibrant color
  • I bought tv for my daughter, she like it so much, beautiful colors and sound

  • the upscaling isn't supposed to be as good as with other companies.

Reviews around set (3.86 of 5)

  • 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
  • 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
  • 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
  • No regrets about getting a smaller set and skipping the TCL 6

  • XBR’s are in my opinion the best consumer tv’s on the market, always have been
  • 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.
  • The stand to me isn't as good as the 800D, since 800D was a solid stand and felt sturdier

Reviews around way (3.44 of 5)

  • Full-array local-dimming is the way to go these days
  • Every so often I will have to go into the setting and reset the TV as some apps will lock up and I have not found an easy way to force close them
  • For me, the best way to experience sound with this TV is via the Bluetooth feature though
  • 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 love the built-in TV guide function and also the way you can browse other channels along the bottom of your screen without changing the channel.
