I love this screen! I play alot of ps5 games so having VRR and ALLM makes a huge difference. Add to that the screen has a low input lag so playing in 4k 120fps looks fantastic. However, I wish that I was not restricted to game mode when VRR is enabled coz when I'm not gaming, I have to go into the settings every time and switch hdmi formats in order to have access to other picture settings as those are restricted when VRR is enabled.For movies, this screen really looks great! Very deep blacks for sharpness and contrast that look very similar to OLEDs and yet is very bright (like actually really bright). It does a very good job of fighting off glare and reflections especially if you have a window facing your screen like me. The only time I have noticed the dreaded ... MoreI love this screen!

The only time I have noticed the dreaded bloom effect is when the Netflix logo appears during the start up sequence. Everywhere else its deep blacks and a bright screen for those crispy details. Of course, IMAX movies get an enhancement here as well which is nice!For sports, as someone who watches a lot of football (soccer) I look for displays that can handle fast moving objects without screen tearing which this tv delivers on. I would suggest cranking up the clearness setting in motion flow to reduce the "ghostly ball" effect other than that the pitch looks vivid and the goals always look great :)For sound, it seems to be dependent on the sound features of the content you're viewing (in my opinion). I have noticed that games and movies with better sound features like Dolby Atmos tend to take advantage of the speakers more. It does sound basey and can rivial some entry level sound bars but it struggles with dialogue at least for the content with poor sound quality features. But I'll probably be pairing this with a sound bar soon so meh!Since it's running google it integrates nicely with my eco-system of google devices. I just wish the google home app would recognize it when the tv is off so I could use voice commands to well... tell it turn on lol but the google apps run well, you can cast most things to it and the apps are responsive too.overall it has a few issues but in picture quality and "most" everyday uses it goes above and beyond, just absolutely Steller.

The samsung qn90b ( which i have in my bedroom) Rates higher than the x95k is you look at reciews online and the 65in qn90b is only $1600 compared to the 65in x95k at $1900. Not a huge difference and sony is known to be expensive. The samsung qn90b is noticably very much brighter at 1813 nits. I went with sony because i got the x95k open box for $1485 and i already had the sony soundbar and sw5 sub. Also, i like the google tv on the sony better than the tizen tv on the samsung. Honestly i just xpuldnt afford the 65in a95k at $2800 which is what they are on sale for at best buy at the moment. They are so new there wasnt an open box available within 100 miles of me and the 65in x95k open box for $1485 i am very happy with it. I did compare the mini led a95k and oled x95k and the a95k scores much higher. If you can afford the a95k i would get it but I just couldnt afford it.

Ive got them towards the centre and the TV is very stable. The Sony TV came with two remote controls but not mentioned why in packaging but easy to work out after a while in that one is mainly sued for the Google TV side.

It can be wall mounted but Id advise buying the approved Sony Brackets and having it expertly fitted for safety and best experience.I do like the auto screen display change to Dolby Vision when the content is detected as such. The sound is superb from the inbuilt 6 speakers and does really follow the source on the picture of where the sound is located.A cinematic experience from whatever you're watching and crystal clear almost reflection free viewing wherever you re in the room. As part of the setup you can tailor the audio based on where you usually sit through the remote control which has a microphone and you can speak the commands instead for anything accessible on the TVAll in all this Sony Bravia XR75X95K is visual and audio quality at its best and if you want to watch without disturbing others then you can pair and connect Bluetooth Headphones for private listening.

Upon receiving the television, I was impressed with the very robust packaging Sony are using for their televisions. The sturdy box was inset with firm polystyrene protectors on the top and bottom of the unit, however the setup of the unboxing is such that you don’t need to remove the television from the packaging to set it up. The bottom unit acts as a temporary stand whilst the top slides off, allowing you to add the stand before complete removal of the television.The tv includes brief and in depth manuals, and 2 remote controllers. One of these is the aluminium fronted, light-up remotes that you find in the master series televisions, so its nice that they are included in the “nearly master series” X95K range.Set up of the tv is very quick and if you have ...

One of these is the aluminium fronted, light-up remotes that you find in the master series televisions, so its nice that they are included in the “nearly master series” X95K range.Set up of the tv is very quick and if you have android or google services on your phone, a little quicker as it will log in via that device and get to quick work transferring account details and related apps across to the new tv.You are prompted to choose your hdmi connections visual type and will give assistance with “automatic options” that will set your colour profile, connection type as well as a few tuned setting for certain apps or devices.I will say one thing, when you get the tv, update it asap, that way when you connect a PS5, it will let you choose HDMI enhanced mode with VRR as well as local dimming. (Prior to update, the VRR mode would cancel out dimming and would hit image quality somewhat.)The build quality is exceptional, with plastic covers to hide all cables into the rear of the set, as well as covers to hide the stand attachment points.The set itself is quite heavy, though with a robust TV unit or heavy capacity wall mount, it holds well and is sturdy enough that it feels safe.The picture itself is absolutely fantastic, coming from a 2017 tv I am amazed at just how far image quality has came. The colour is stunning and peak luminance on HDR videos is so bright its hard to imagine a brighter display.I have found that by setting black level to medium, local dimming on high and contrast enhance to medium, the picture is so much like a well tuned OLED, with deep perfect blacks and super-bright whitepoints I truly am amazed when I see it on such titles as “for all mankind”, in fact if you want to see how good the tv can perform, I recommend S2 E1 during the sunrise on the moon scene. The scene shows Mini-LED in perfect usage, pitch black blacks and ultra bright whites.Nothing else comes close to it for a contrast display test for users.But what about blooming I hear you ask,Does it bloom? - yesIs it bad? - noIs it noticeable? - dependsIn scenes such as described above, no you don’t see blooming, the peak luminance will mask any bloom you might perceive, in fact in any HDR titles that deal with luminance data directly, you will very very rarely see any blooming.In SDR titles where luminance data is converted through the pictures colour, you can see some bloom, SOME.I find that if you sit within 15-20 degrees of the sides of the tv, you wont see bloom in any regular use excluding subtitles. (Subtitles are Mini-LEDs worst enemy) if you sit wider or lower than the tv, you can see bloom a little more. It’s just how the technology is working the polariser that blocks bloom to the front has limits on how wide it works.Through regular use, with a little set-up though, no.. you probably wont see blooming, and if you do you will mostly just think its coming from the retina scorching peak brightness.The sound from the speakers do give a level of immersion though obviously a soundbar set up would be used by most. If using a soundbar, you can set the TV speakers to work as the centre speaker, a welcome setting. If not using a soundbar, you'll still find many sound settings to tune the audio as you need. With options for voice emphasis, music, bass boost... The usual tried and tested Sony solutions.Results either way won't disappoint.For gaming the tv works extremely well, with a PS5 my games have never looked so good, and the options for image quality on the set are remarkably well tuned to deliver a quality that is what the games deserve. Colours and clarity truly pop out the screen, and dark titles such as assassins creed Valhalla look stunning in 4k HDR. Fire looks like fire, the night looks dark and the aurora over Norway is a sight to beholdThe tv in itself is absolutely stunning and as Sonys first dive into Mini-LED, its a firm win, I cannot stress just how impressed with not only the build quality but the most important thing, image quality.I've heard that this model is probably in the top 3 tvs you can buy at the moment, I wouldn't doubt it one second.
The X95k television really is outstanding. It's a genuine entertainment Centre.Aesthetically the TV looks sleek with a titanium/silver bezel, wrapping the sides of the screen and maintaining a bezel-less look. It’s also worth noting the checkerboard pattern on the back panels. The TV also has multiple stand configurations and 2 remote controls.I use the premium remote, mainly for the way I can control attached devices, alter settings and picture / audio modes and watch streaming / VOD with it. It also lights up when moved (see photo) which is really useful when watching in a dark room and it even has a Finder function for locating it by voice if you lose it!I must say that at least 2 people are required to unpackage and install this TV due to its 57kg package ...

I had 2 other people to help me fit the stand legs and then carefully lift the TV into position. It was great that there are 3 different stand configurations as you can see from my photos that I could not have used the TV cabinet it is on if the legs had not been attachable in the middle of the TV area.I've never seen anything like it before in terms of picture quality when streaming HD or 4k movies, playing HD files or gaming. I have a TV box attached too but mainly use the TV for the aforementioned purposes to get the most out its display capabilities.I have found Blooming is minimal (compared to my previous TV set) and the depth and crispness of the colours, shadows and highlights are amazing as is the audio output of the TV.I have never heard this high quality level of audio from a TV before without using a sound bar. The Acoustic Multi-Audio technology and Acoustic Auto Calibration work well, and really enhance your viewing experience. It has 60W total sound output, including two tweeters, two front-firing speakers and two subwoofers and is genuinely impressive whether watching a movie or a concert.The display and audio modes and settings are of course customisable and all serve their purposes well. You can use a light sensor mode to automatically adjust the brightness levels on your screen depending on the lighting in the room. This TV also includes an RGB light sensor that optimises colour and brightness of the picture to the light source and room environment. You also have power saving features available in the settings to alter the brightness and resolution of your screen if maximum display quality isn't essential.I had no trouble at all with setting up the TV. It was all self explanatory and was easy to connect my Google account to. logging in to the already installed Netflix and Amazon apps was no problem and many other apps including Disney and YouTube are also preinstalled.During setup, the TV uses the remote for sound tuning optimized to your space, or where you expect to regularly sit on the couch. Connecting Bluetooth devices such as headphones, my Xperia phone and an Android tablet was easy too.Sony's Bravia Core movie app looks great. There are some great family movies on there as well as an IMAX Enhanced Collection of movies. The only negative aspect of the app is that you get 5 free movie tokens with this TV but you currently can't purchase more.I hope that this will change in the future.
The purpose of this review is not to talk about how great this TV is, it is the high end model for their 4k LCD panels, its going to be great. I am really glad I ignored the trend right now for Oled, after seeing several OLED's and their ABL in action, I was like forget this.When it comes to the view angles, we couldn't be happier and I have NO idea why so many top end review sites trash the angle. Sure, while at Best buy they had the x95k panel on the same wall as the a90j and at extreme angles, the oled kept its color better but come on, at these angles it looks like your looking at your tv through the crack of a barely opened bedroom door. We have a pretty decent size living room this tv is in and even though we dont have it centered installed, the farthest ...

We have a pretty decent size living room this tv is in and even though we dont have it centered installed, the farthest seatings we have to the left and right of this set have no problems watching content.I also purchased the Vizio Elevate Sound bar (as it too was on sale). I know Sony would have wanted a sony bar to go with this, but the Vizio Elevate is just too good to pass up (even if it was not on sale)** Remote **I am currently trying to deal with an issue, I purchased this tv in July of 2022 (during Black Friday in July sale). Upon my first viewing in the evening, I noticed something was not right. This tv should come with the Sony Remote Commander RMF-tx900u which is a backlit remote (and comes with the Bravia Core preinstalled button vs Youtube option) however I got the RMF-TX800u (comes with Youtube vs Bravia Core button) which is NOT backlit.The TV set did not look opened box when it arrived (as it should have not been) so I'm thinking it is just a goof when it was boxed. I am reaching out to Sony in hopes this gets resolved.There is a youtube video called "Sony | 2022 Bravia TV Remotes Product Overview" which validates which remote I should have got.Make sure if you just recenlty picked up this tv, that you have the correcet remote!
Bought this as it's last years model and heavily discounted considering it was £5k on first release. Thought it might be too big as I sit 3m away but it's the perfect size for that cinematic experience.Was originally going to get the 75 inch version but read a few reviews online that the 85 inch had better black level and less blooming with bright objects on a dark background. I watch mostly in a dark environment and am very happy with the black level performance and have found blooming to be very minor.Playing 4k uhd blu-rays gives spectacular performance. It gets very bright!Things I don't like:- Although it has 4 hdmi inputs only 2 of them support Dolby Vision and 120hz input. This doesn't affect the internal apps ability to play Dolby Vision so no worries if ... MoreBought this as it's last years model and heavily discounted considering it was £5k on first release.

This doesn't affect the internal apps ability to play Dolby Vision so no worries if you use the in-built Netflix, Disney, etc. However, if you have multiple sources that have 120hz or Dolby Vision capability then you are restricted. I have two game consoles, 4k blu ray player, pc and a well known brand tv box, all of which have Dolby Vision and/or 120hz capability. I solved the problem by purchasing a 5 port hdmi 2.1 switch box but Sony should really address this issue and enable all hdmi connections to be fully capable. Other tv manufacturers are ahead of them in this regard.- The operating system is google tv which is fine but whatever processor Sony are using to run it seems woefully under-powered. It's fine most of the time but on occasion the tv is completely unresponsive to remote control button presses, and then 20 seconds later it suddenly registers them. Not enough to a warrant a return but very annoying when it happens.- If you have a bright light shining near the tv you can sometimes see a thin rainbow effect near the top of the screen. Apparently this is the result of a special screen coating. Doesn't affect me but could be irritating for some. The plus side is that the coating enables wider viewing angles compared to other LED tvs.Overall I'm delighted with it and hope it lasts for many years!
We felt pretty impressed with the 65" Sony X95K Mini LED Google TV in the store, even though it was sitting next to the Sony A80K OLED TV. However, the picture color was slightly off due to the backlights of the display. However, we went ahead and bought this due to the overall brightness of the display, because we didn't think that an OLED would be quite bright enough and they are usually much higher in price for a Sony. We wanted to stay with Sony, as all of our longest lasting TVs have been Sony TVs. We were buying this one to take the spot of a 46" 2010 3D Sony TV that still works and has an amazing picture for older technology.We spent quite a bit of time in the store comparing picture quality and brightness on a lot of TVs, including TCL, Hisense, LG and ...

We were buying this one to take the spot of a 46" 2010 3D Sony TV that still works and has an amazing picture for older technology.We spent quite a bit of time in the store comparing picture quality and brightness on a lot of TVs, including TCL, Hisense, LG and Samsung models. And we were pretty happy with our purchase when we got it home. We thought the picture was stunning. The setup with a Sony AVR and a Playstation was seamless. The TV knew what devices were connected and was able to control the power on those devices easily. We did not hook it up to the internet to set up Google TV so I can't actually comment on that function. I messed with all of the settings and we tested a Playstation on it, which the processor seemed to handle well when using the VRR function. We watched some 4K movies to test the picture. Due to the backlighting, even though the full array zone dimming is used, we saw considerable blooming around bright images. There are many reviewers that I watched or read their reviews who said that blooming was minimal. Personally, I think that is compared to something light the Sony X90K or even the lower model. In the store the 85" model of the X95K looks nice and bright and awesome! However, I found out that the display on that size is actually different material than the 65 and 75" models of the X95K.The other thing that we started to notice was the effect that the anti-reflective coating had on the picture when viewing. I shined my LED light from my phone on the screen and a line of rainbow colors stretched all the way across the screen diagonally from left to right. The overhead light in the room also created lines of rainbow colors that stretched across the screen. One thing that got our attention was that the TV picked up kitchen lights that were not even in the reflection while we were watching TV. The TV stretched white stripes diagonally across the bottom of the TV as it was picking up the kitchen lights somehow. Then my wife sat in the chair to the left of the TV and said she was seeing rainbows from that angle. I walked over and looked and the TV was putting rainbow reflections over the picture from the living room window and also the back door. We decided that the effect of the anti glare coating was too much for us to ignore and we returned the TV, exchanging it for the 65" Sony A80K OLED. While the picture seems to have quite a bit going for it, we thought there was a little too much blooming, as well as the vignetting in the four corners of the display - which we have with all of our other previously owned Sony TVs. The overall TV was not enough to overcome the shortcomings of the anti-reflective coating. If you are looking for a new Sony TV, I would recommend the A80K if you can afford it and get your hands on one.
This was my first TV upgrade in over 12 years and I am happy with my purchase! Initially I wanted an OLED TV, but price range for 65in was a bit high for the nicer OLED models (A90J, A95K) that are also bright. I watch day time TV in a well lit living room quite a bit on some weekends.Picture quality is fantastic on this mini LED model. Blu-ray movies, streaming content from Disney+, ESPN+, and sports on cable all look great. I have the Picture mode set on Custom in settings and increased the brightness a bit. I don't game on consoles that much and only own Xbox One X that I use mostly for streaming. But 4K HDR content look stunning on this TV.I did read about the blooming and halo effects in reviews and after setting up the TV, I played a bunch of blooming test ...

But 4K HDR content look stunning on this TV.I did read about the blooming and halo effects in reviews and after setting up the TV, I played a bunch of blooming test videos found on YouTube. It is not significant. I had to really pay attention around the edges of the bright objects in the videos to really notice it. Yes blooming does appear when it is a pitch black screen with big white subtitles in the bottom. But when watching videos of fireworks display at night, lamp in dark room, close up macro shots of flowers against dark backdrops, the blooming and halo effects are so minimal. During normal TV watching experience, I would never notice it.This is a great OLED alternative like other people mentioned and gives a great contrast, while being very bright. It's not super thin and does draw a bit higher power compared to OLED Sony models, but I don't have to worry about burn-ins or organic diode fading in the next 10-15 years.
I have held back on this review to make I was able to get the most out of it in every way that I could.When the TV arrived the first thing you notice is that it is a unit of gargantuan proportions. The box almost one of my living room walls, but saying that, when it came to unboxing this techno-beast Sony have put a lot of effort in to make sure that this part goes as smoothly as possible, and they have absolutely nailed it.After removing the initial contents such as the sleek brushed steel remote and paperwork the top of the box simply lifts off leaving the bottom still in the base of the packaging giving you access to the screen and the legs which you can install with immense ease.

The box almost one of my living room walls, but saying that, when it came to unboxing this techno-beast Sony have put a lot of effort in to make sure that this part goes as smoothly as possible, and they have absolutely nailed it.After removing the initial contents such as the sleek brushed steel remote and paperwork the top of the box simply lifts off leaving the bottom still in the base of the packaging giving you access to the screen and the legs which you can install with immense ease. At this juncture you have option for three different positions to suit your feng sui critter inside. Low sits pretty much flush to your unit or stand. This does require the legs to be at each end bearing in mind its nearly 2m long. From here you can choose to raise them up to a height that accommodate a sound bar to sit underneath without hindering your viewing. Finally, there is that narrow feet option. This is the one I went for as I have a stand that I bought with my first 40” HD TV back in the day. I have to say I was a little worried that I might need to splash out for a new stand. Nope! It fits like a dream and the unit itself is extremely steadyThe setup was seamless and took very effort. The Google TV operating system really did most of the work and the out of the box settings were really good. When you start delving into the menus and looking for the finer details is when the fun begins and this process really brought out the inner nerd. The remote itself is very good and has all the functions you’d be looking for such as shortcut buttons to Prime, Disney, Netflix and Bravia Code. The latter actually gives you five free movies to Sony’s streaming service once you’re registered. The remote even has a find me function should you lose it.This brings me nicely onto the screen. I mean wow, just wow. Sony has branched into the Mini LED range. The LEDs are now 4 times smaller than they were in the X95J so can pack way more in which really helps with local dimming. The colours are absolutely breath taking and the depth just sucks you right into the screen. I watch a lot of films and have very varied taste in genre too. I must have watched at least 30 plus films in different formats and I am yet to find a fault with this. Given that this is a 75” I was interested to see how well it delivered on such a grand scale. It absolutely blew me away. To say that this is truly a cinematic I don’t think does it justice. Even in a brightly lit room the anti-glare and the auto-adjust back light means you don’t lose any noticeable picture quality. The blacks really deep and inky and there’s no blooming whatsoever that I could see, even when looking. You’re looking a screen that is getting very close to OLED black but with brightness that dazzles. Even Blu-rays are upscaled to an obscene level.I own a PS5 and when it comes to gaming it cranks it up to a level that I haven’t witnessed before. The fact that you get exclusive features and auto setup when hooking up the console made me lick my lips. The PS5 will tell the TV when you’re gaming and when you’re watching a movie, then automatically switch modes to suit best. This is a really nice touch as I use my PS5 for playing my movies.Playing Gran Tourismo 7 is always a pleasure. You add in the colours that I’ve just been talking about and the speed the processor it’s like being in the car itself and truly leaves you open mouthed You can really appreciate the differences with 4K/120fps & VRR (Variable Refresh Rate), but be aware that you do need to have the correct HMDI 2.1 cable and are using the compatible port, of which there are two.I played through Ghost of Tsushima on the PS4 but since getting this TV I decided to play through it again with the PS5 patch. The combination of the upgrade and the HDR, the screen it turns that game into something that close to moving art. I know I’m gushing a bit here but you really do have to see it to believe it.The apps are as you’d imagine polished and very accessible. The voice recognition on the remote works a dream searching through all of the streaming services and giving you a list of ways that you can watch, and if there is a charge. Perfect for people like me that have a multitude of streaming services. I was a little disappointed that the Disney+ app doesn’t support Dolby Atmos but does Dolby Vision when Netflix does both. Why this is I don’t know, but given this is Sony’s flagship model for 2022, I’d be expecting it to fulfil it’s potential on every front at the cost of £3999.Another app I felt let down with was AirPlay. I found that it was very hit and miss when connecting to this depending on what I was streaming to the TV. Live video streams from website would connect and disconnect or would say that the device could not be found on the TV yet it was listed on my phone as discoverable, but when music and photos were fine. Screen share was also hit and miss.When accessing the same kind of stream via the internet browser and playing in full screen mode Ambient Mode would kick in after a certain time and reset the stream. I went into the options to change the inactivity timer to longer it didn’t give me the option to. I had to disable the app entirely to enable the stream to be uninterrupted. This in turn puts the TV into sleep mode when you’re streaming music to it when Ambient Mode would’ve kicked in. Again, this is something that I’d imagine Sony to sort out with a software update as I can see from forums that quite a few people experienced the same problem as me.Sound is massively important to me. I have a 7.1.2 ch Dolby Atmos sound bar so I was really keen to see how the tv speakers performed. Usually when a TV is as thin as this one is it lacks in the sound department leaving it tinny and shallow, probably due to the fact that most people have supporting devices like myself - not here. I was taken aback at how rich it sounds. There’s depth and clarity and the object tracking sound works a dream. You have a number of options to cater your sound to your tastes with adding in voice clarity and 3D Surround Upscaling. There really is an embarrassment of riches.This TV really does have everything you want and a lot more, and with a few little software tweaks, which could be down to the developer and/or Sony, this can become an absolute master piece of technology. I look forward to many, many years of viewing.All the photos attached are taken directly from the TV with my phone.
