it should be noted that Sony did send a firmware update out to add VRR support after the Rtings review. Rtings has not gotten around to testing it after the update, yet. These sets do have VRR now.

This is an excellent tv for the price. I have the 85" version paired with my PS5 and it's just awesome!
Sony added the VRR support during an update in December.
I have an Apple TV 4K connected as well for HBO, Netflix, and Disney+. All the content that comes in Dolby Vision looks stunning.
The built in apps work great as well, but if you do a side by side comparison, the Apple TV is pulling down a higher bit rate.

I agree with comments here about X90 being more preferred due the local dimming LED array. It's nice to have, but not a deal breaker considering the cost of this X85J.
The X85J has a full panel array lighting which is still a step up from edge lit panels.
·
Good point on the off angle viewing. You would need to step down to the X80J which has much better viewing angles. Also of note both this model and the X80J have a ATSC 3.0 tuner for next gen tv which is a nice bonus for the ota crowdSmilie

Quote from 9franko9 :
I've had the X85J for a week now, amazing picture. I had a Vizio M7 but it had switching problems with my Apple 4k and I took it back to Costco. This TV is a much better picture than the M7 but also $200 more. Was worth it to me.
So the viewing angles are pretty bad though I guess being a VA panel?

This X85J from BB for $799 or X81CH from Costco for $699? Which one is better? Also, seems like BB is offering FREE TotalTech membership for 24 months which seems to cover free installation of this TV for mounting it on a wall? Have never bought anything from BB before so not sure how that works out or if the installation service is dependable and how much is covered? Any insight will be helpful. Thanks in advance

So the 65" was listed at $598 and Amazon was the listed seller? Heckuva deal if it ships.

Can anyone comment on the viewing angles on this set? How bad is it for a VA panel?

Thanks,

Quote from ubersanger :
Some people get really annoyed by the blooming issues in contrasty light/dark scenes (and in subtitles) that are inherent to some extent with all locally dimmed sets (or the excessively crushed blacks typical of TCL and other local dimming sets). For those people, sets like these are a fantastic alternative if they can't afford OLED or don't want to deal with their burn-in risks. I'll also point out the Samsung equivalent, the Q70, also lacks local dimming. This set also still provides better picture than many of the local dimming equipped LG IPS sets.

So if you want local dimming at this price point, you need to move to other brands than those of the big 3, which some may not want to do. People have varying opinions on that, but for those reasons, I wouldn't dismiss this set over the lack of local dimming.
Absolutely! I abhor blooming specially with lots of movies having black bars and we do watch shows with subtitles sometimes. Half decent VA without FALD is such a boon!
