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

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.

Edit: Made the call, it's processed now. Was only an 8 min phone call.
Bottom line, 4K at 120fps with HDR is good. VRR is non-functional at this time and still awaiting firmware update.
Just be sure you measure your studs ON CENTER, CLEAN and use lag screws rated for at least 100lbs each. I've seen screws rated for something that my eyes could clearly tell weren't appropriate. It's not worth the sweat of watching this monstrosity suspend outward from a wall and wondering how it doesn't fall, not to mention the death threat it poses to small children.
I bought a 65" x900h on BF 2020, my budget was $1k. I love the TV but wish I had gone bigger. Now this... I could afford the $2k now but hard to justify when I just bought the other one.
Damn you, slickdeals!

Poor man's premium tv
- 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!!!!!
According to rtings.com..the X930E and Z9D were both better sets than the X940E

well no shit sherlock, Z9D is the most expensive set with 600zones, you gaw damn right it better be a better set - thanks captain obvious
ok i understand X930e is numerically lowers than X940e (doh) but explain how a edge lit backlight was a better set than a local dimming-256 zones direct lit tv with 1184nit HDR brightness (x940e)?

from this review and several other professional reviews
"Fast moving objects often have visible trails"
ok i understand X930e is numerically lowers than X940e (doh) but explain how a edge lit backlight was a better set than a local dimming-256 zones direct lit tv with 1184nit HDR brightness (x940e)?
The motion issues with the X940E were not cared for by rtings...but they also tested the X930E to be both brighter than the X940E in SDR and HDR
And yes...the Z9D is most certainly a better Tv hands down than the X940E
I own both the X930E and the Z9D
