78.6” (diag) X900B Premium 4K Ultra HD TVIt’s quite simply the most immersive, highest-resolution TV experience possible. Sony’s premium 4K Ultra HD TV boasts four times the clarity of HD1, more brilliant expanded color and up to two times the brightness range of standard LED HDTVs. Breathtaking detail is depicted with pinpoint accuracy for the most natural images. The TRILUMINOS display produces the widest color spectrum we've ever offered in a TV. Best of all, you’ll enjoy Sony’s exclusive X-tended Dynamic Range local dimming technology for up to 2x the brightness range with deeper blacks than before.TechnologyFour times clearer than HDThe 4K Ultra HD screen contains over 8 million individual pixels1that transform everything you watch into a life-like experience. Advanced picture processing also ensures that every single pixel displays images with superb brightness and authentic detail.Upscale everything you watch to 4K Ultra HDSuddenly, everything looks better. All of your existing HD sports, TV shows and movies are upscaled to super clear 4K quality2. Even YouTube clips and smartphone videos are enhanced with stunning results2. The 4K X-Reality PRO picture engine analyzes and processes every image to refine color, clarity and detail for a beautifully natural picture.Up to 2x brightness means contrast beyond comparisonSony’s exclusive X-tended Dynamic Range technology produces contrast beyond comparison. You’ll get the peak brightness that LED TVs are known for as well as deeper blacks previously only associated with Plasma TVs. Keeping the light areas bright while keeping blacks truly black is called widening dynamic range. In the image shown, notice the difference in detail of the dark buildings combined with the brightness of the city lights. The difference certainly is dynamic.More brilliant expanded colorSpoil yourself with the widest color spectrum we’ve ever offered on a television. Unique to Sony, TRILUMINOS Display technology creates incredibly true, natural shades of colors—just the way you want them. Hard-to-reproduce reds, aqua blues and emerald greens are displayed beautifully, so landscapes and seascapes look more vivid. Faces look better, too, with natural skin tones. It’s all thanks to a TRILUMINOS display that uses more colors to produce a more vibrant picture.Wedge Sound worthy of the pictureIt begins with the physical shape of the TV. The Wedge creates extra space at the bottom of the TV for larger speakers and built-in subwoofers. And larger speakers mean richer sound, deeper bass, and louder volume, so you’ll hear every hit in a football game and feel the pounding music in a chase scene.The most feature films in 4KAdd a Sony 4K Ultra HD Media Player (FMP-X10, sold separately) for exclusive access to the Video Unlimited 4K service, which hosts the largest selection of feature films and TV episodes in 4K Ultra HD for the home6.

Customer Reviews
Close to being the bestJerry Kirshman
OK, I have this thing only about two weeks, so I'll give you my initial impressions. Excellent picture, even in HD. When in UHD it's hard to describe how good it really is. The best source material I can find is streaming 2160 UHD from YouTube. Not only is there noticeably more detail (comparing to the same stream in HD), but color seems to be more precisely saturated (meaning that the color is exactly where is should be and not where is shouldn't). Watching House of Cards stream in 2160 HD on Netflix is excellent. It's more like comparing high resolution outputs from a fine camera than looking at a TV.One thing we noticed when switching back to HD (1080P) is that you look at the HD and say, wow, it really doesn't look as sharp as 2160. I didn't think I would notice the difference but I did and it is signifcant.OK, now the bad. The firmware is not that good. Just doesn't seem that intuitive. OK, you can get past that, but one thing I am having a major problem with is the Wi-Fi Receiver. It appears that it loses sync with the router, just like my Dell windows 8.1 laptop. It loses the connection, and goodbye internet. For comparison, my Apple laptop and iPhone have no problem staying with the router. Just a fact. Now for the really strange; my son's 2 year old Sony PS3 stays connected, and it's in lower signal strength area. I find myself having to often finish watching a show on Netflix by switching to the PS3 input to the T.V., which is unfortunate. BTW, the T.V. is receiving 5 out of 5 signal strength and 50 Mbps, so that's not the problem. Resetting the adapter works on the Dell laptop, but there is no simple way to do that on the T.V. Unplugging and restarting works, but really, for this price point, you should not have to do that.Read more ›
Everything I expected,Jonathan Byers
Everything I expected, only blemish is it seems to show much more reflection than the set it replaces so at certain times of the day it is quite bad
65" -- Fine Ultra HDTV with Better SoundSui Lin Chee
This is a professional evalution of the TV:CR's TakeThis distinctive-looking 65-inch 3D-capable Sony Ultra HD, which sports the company's new wedge-shaped cabinet design and a prominent speaker array on each side of the screen, is among the best UHD TVs we've tested, with excellent high-definition picture quality and one of the best integrated sound systems we've heard in a TV. It's a 120Hz set (Motionflow XR 960) that does a very good job at reducing motion blur. Its viewing angle, however, is only fair, so those sitting at an angle to the TV may not get the same great picture. And like other Sony UHD TVs we've tested, its 3D was only good, below that of many other sets. The TV, just one model down from the company's flagship X950B series, has lots of features. That includes Sony's smart TV platform, which offers access to several streaming movie and TV show services, including Sony's own Sony Entertainment Network. An interesting feature called Social Viewing lets you turn on a scrolling Twitter feed feature to see what's being said about the program you're watching. This model comes with both a basic remote and a simple touchpad remote, and it has an IR blaster for controlling a cable box with the TV remote.Highs* Excellent HD image detail* Excellent color accuracy* Supports 4K streaming* Full 4K resolution photos via USB* Excellent sound quality* Low ghosting in 3D mode* Lots of featuresLows* Slight backlight non-uniformity* Narrow viewing angle* Screen surface more mirror-like than most* Resolution in 3D mode is less than 1080p to each eyeDetailed test resultsPICTURE QUALITY.

Sony Beats Samsung In 4K Photography TestNotaSecondTime
As a limited but very practical test, I evaluated several of this year’s Sony and Samsung 4K displays using pristine Nikon 3300 24M pixel photographs. These pictures native resolution is 6000*4000 and were loaded onto the display at the store using my USB stick.The photographs were taken to highlight dynamic range with with back-light sun or sky, with areas of shadow detail carefully preserved using ViewNX2 RAW processing and with a calibrated LG 2560*1600 IPS monitor.With quality so high, anyone can instantly spot many decoding inaccuracies (which incidentally expert professional reviews miss!)Photographs have a quantization range of 0-255 and video is 16-235, a task which any 2014 display should detect and accurately decode.The three Sony displays (one a 1080p 850B) all demonstrated superior color, contrast and shadow detail compared to the Samsung H9000 and H8550. The 1080p look much coarser especially with the photo of the Cos*co hours-of-operation sign in the shade. The Sony’s Reality Processing was fooled and introduced a white highlighting in between the black text.The Samsung’s movie mode looked best but still did not approach the Sony’s spot-on color. The photo’s did not come-alive in realism, as the sunlight back-lighting should have been punchy. Shadow detail went to black too quickly, as if the Samsung was decoding the JPEG’s 0-255 dynamic range incorrectly. But maybe not, as blacks can be seemingly improved at the expense of shadow detail.Anyone should be able to replicate these findings. Several knowledgeable salesmen confirmed these findings. I’ve taken the time to document this admittedly limited test, as the forums have descended into chaos. Humor footnote: If Sony and Amazon want to give me a free TV I’ll give it six stars!
