For gamers:

Relevant gaming details below taken from the review here [rtings.com].

Display:
Auto Low Latency Mode (ALLM) Yes
PS5, 4k @ 120Hz + HDR Yes
PS5, 4k @ 120Hz Yes
PS5, 4k @ 60Hz + HDR Yes
PS5, 1440p @ 120Hz PS5 can't do 1440p
PS5, 1080p @ 120Hz Yes
PS5, Variable Refresh Rate No
Xbox Series X, 4k @ 120Hz + HDR Yes
Xbox Series X, 4k @ 120Hz Yes
Xbox Series X, 4k @ 60Hz + HDR Yes
Xbox Series X, 1440p @ 120Hz No
Xbox Series X, 1080p @ 120Hz Yes
Xbox Series X, Variable Refresh Rate No

Update 01/28/2022: We investigated a reported issue with micro-stutter when gaming on the PS5. We tried to reproduce the issue with Call of Duty: Black Ops Cold War and Astro's Playroom, but we weren't able to.

The Sony X91CJ supports most common signals from the PS5 and Xbox Series X, but it's not without issues. First, if you want to play games in Dolby Vision, you're limited to 4k @ 60Hz. You either have to set the HDMI Signal Format to 'Enhanced Format' for 4k @ 120Hz signals, or to 'Enhanced Format (Dolby Vision)', which limits it to 4k @ 60Hz signals, as you can see in the Xbox menu. Although the Xbox says that the TV supports VRR when you set the HDMI Signal Format to 'Enhanced Format (VRR)', we're still considering it 'No' because VRR doesn't work.

We confirmed that ALLM works because the TV switched into Game Mode when we launched Destiny 2 on the Xbox Series X. However, like the Sony X900H, we experienced resolution issues with Destiny 2 where it would display 3840x1080 and the rectangle around the 'Open Director' in the menu flashes between white and gray. You can see an example of this from the X900H here.

Input Lag:
1080p @ 60Hz 16.0 ms
1080p @ 60Hz Outside Game Mode 91.7 ms
1440p @ 60Hz 15.8 ms
4k @ 60Hz 15.6 ms
4k @ 60Hz + 10-Bit HDR 15.5 ms
4k @ 60Hz @ 4:4:4 15.6 ms
4k @ 60Hz Outside Game Mode 91.5 ms
4k @ 60Hz With Interpolation 87.4 ms
8k @ 60Hz N/A
1080p @ 120Hz 7.0 ms
1440p @ 120Hz 7.1 ms
4k @ 120Hz 7.0 ms
1080p with Variable Refresh Rate N/A
1440p with VRR N/A
4k with VRR N/A
8k with VRR N/A

The Sony KD85X91CJ has objectively low input lag, but it's higher than some other TVs, like the Samsung QN90A QLED. Still, it's fine for most gamers. Unless specified, we measure it all in the 'Game' Picture Mode, but the 4k @ 60Hz with chroma 4:4:4 input lag was measured in 'Graphics' mode instead.

Although VRR isn't working properly, we also measured the input lag with the VRR setting enabled. We measured 15.8 ms for 1080p @ 120Hz with VRR and 9.4 ms in 4k @ 120Hz, but since we don't consider the VRR to be functional, we aren't including these numbers in the results.

Variable Refresh Rate:
Native Refresh Rate 120 Hz
Variable Refresh Rate No
HDMI Forum VRR No
FreeSync No
G-SYNC Compatible No
4k VRR Maximum N/A
4k VRR Minimum No VRR support
1080p VRR Maximum N/A
1080p VRR Minimum No VRR support
1440p VRR Maximum N/A
1440p VRR Minimum No VRR support
VRR Supported Connectors No VRR support

At the time of testing, the variable refresh rate support on the Sony X91J doesn't work. There's a VRR setting, but unlike the Sony X900H, it doesn't reduce screen tearing. *Sony is implementing VRR support through firmware updates, and they've said it'll take two updates by the end of 2021 for VRR to be fully functional, so we'll retest the TV once the second update comes out. We tried the pendulum test pattern with our RTX 3070, RX580, RX6600, and RX6800 graphics cards, and there was always screen tearing. We also checked in Destiny 2 with our RX6600 card, and there's still screen tearing.

*We're obviously past 2021 but I checked Sony's website and the X91J is still planning firmware updates for VRR.

For the record, I have the 900h. It looks and plays fantastic. The brights are exceptional and I've had no issue with input lag which is a big one for me. If you're a ranked FPS player your opinion might be different. The only disadvantage would be the reportedly non-functioning VRR for X91J.

I see price $1999 on both bestbuy and costco, but model # are different.

Costco selling KD85X91CJ where BestBuy selling Model:KD85X91J

can someone also confirm the difference between this TV and Samsung Neo?
Is this TV good in a very bright room? (sunlight not directly hitting the TV)

this only has 40 dimming zones on a giant 85in... WTF?!
- Sony 75in X940E has 256zones, shows how downgrade spiral this went
and this has the cheapest 4K HDR processor to work an 85in panel (not extreme, ultimate or XR)- double WTF?!

and doesn't have VRR so over-promise, under deliver- TRIPLE WTF!!

/PASS!!!!!

If I don't need a TV right away but need one by End of March, is it worth the wait? Bought my last TV 5 years ago so not familiar with price drop timelines..

Bought this 2 weeks ago for $2,199.00 with the warranty as well. It's setup and I'm pretty happy with it, but submitted a request for price adjustment. In theory I should get it, says within 30 days you can, if they say no, considering going though the trouble of buying it and returning it with other receipt. For $200 worth calling in a favor from a friend with a truck.

If anyone else is in the same boat as me, you can find the price adjust form on Costco.com, by going to the bellow link, make sure you are logged in (maybe, not sure it's important), and on the left is a bunch of icons and one says price adjustment.

https://customerservice.costco.com

Edit: Someone mentioned they tried the same thing last year and the Costco forms didn't ever go though and they had to just call customer service. Going to do that today because I've gotten no feedback 24 hours later.

I am going to do this too but when I search for the TV it doesn't show on the website anymore?

edit: nevermind, if anyone is looking for it though Costco reading this and cannot find it they pulled it from their interal search but Google still found it with "Costco KD85X91CJ"

Same price on Amazon
Yes but it's time consuming and expensive(depends on sellers return policy) for returns. Big screens like this are notoriously prone to DSE so easy(well sorta lol) returns are a good option to have.

If you got a clean panel just keep it. No matter what. For 200 bucks... If the next one has bad DSE you'll kick yourself.

I bought this during the BF deal via BuyDig with the 4 year accidental protection and $100GC.TV is great so far. It checks off so many boxes when it comes to the latest hardware features.

Also this TV doesn't have the newest XR processor. The 75" X95j flagship is 100 more atm. Much better tv.
