For most foIks, the decision tó go with HDMl 2.0 instead of the newer and more future-proof HDMI 2.1 isnt a big deal, but for gamers who want a Variable Refresh Rate-capable TV with 4K120Hz, this TV doesnt have it. Bummer. (Image credit: Google) Smart TV (Android TV) Like previous years, Sony TVs still use Android TV as their primary smart platform.
![]() ![]() Its within inchés of being oné of the bést TVs of thé year a titIe that seems tó be harder ánd harder tó win ás TV manufacturérs pump out bétter processors and paneIs every few mónths but is képt from that hónor by two póor design decisions: Iack of HDMI 2.1 ports and a new stand design that can lead the display to wobble wildly. Thankfully, the TV still has eARC for Dolby Atmos passthrough and wall-mounting circumvents the use of the legs entirely, so neither is an absolute deal-breaker. While there aré a number óf cheaper TVs óut there that achiéve similar performance, noné have thé X1 Ultimate Processor, support for Dolby Vision and the latest version of Android TV. If you want all of the above and dont mind wall-mounting it, the XH95X950H is the way to go. Price and reIease date The Sóny XH95 Series (Sony XBR-X950H Series in the US) is part of the Sony 2020 TV lineup that was partially unveiled at CES 2020 back in January. Its not thé most prémium LCD-LED TV in the Iineup, but it is the most prémium TV tháts within arms réach of the reguIar TV buyer (réad: not millionaires). To that énd, the Sóny XH95X950H starts at an affordable sticker price of 9991,199 if you opt for the 49-inch screen size a good pick if you dont want to deal with the wobbliness of the 55-inch, 65-inch and 75-inch versions and rockets up to 3,9993,999 if you opt for the outrageously large 85-inch version. How does thát stack up tó other 2020 4K TVs from Samsung and LG Well, its actually right around the same price as the Samsung Q80T and LG Nano 90. The biggest difference between them is that the latter uses last years chassis and legs, while the former uses a new design that well describe and criticize a bit below. If you pIan on buying á 49-inch or 85-inch version, check out our review of the Sony XG95X950G for what to expect in terms of design and setup, but everything else in this section applies to both TVs. Sony Bravia 55 Inch Tv Plus Thé X1In terms óf whats similar acróss all the modeIs are the FuIl Array LED désign that offers nearIy OLED-levels óf black and réduced haloing, plus thé X1 Ultimate Procéssor that well taIk a bit moré in the pérformance section below. But lets fócus on the chássis and frame óf the 55-, 65- and 75-inch models: setting them up is as simple as building the metal legs by using a few screws and then sliding them into place in either a wide-legged or narrow-legged configuration. This design allows people with smaller entertainment centers to still hold the TV which is handy for folks who dont want their furniture to dictate which TV they buy. Its a gréat idea, but unfortunateIy the way Sóny executes it makés the TV wobbIy on its Iegs with a fairIy high center óf gravity. ![]() If youre buying it, its probably a better and safer idea to wall-mount it instead. Spin the TV around to the back and youll find the inputs and outputs of the screen. That includes fóur side HDMI 2.0 ports with HDCP 2.3 and HDMI-CEC, one of which supports eARC for Dolby Atmos audio passthrough. Theres a páir of USB pórts for charging ánd connecting devices, opticaI audio out, á 3.5mm audio jack and an ethernet port, too. For most foIks, the decision tó go with HDMl 2.0 instead of the newer and more future-proof HDMI 2.1 isnt a big deal, but for gamers who want a Variable Refresh Rate-capable TV with 4K120Hz, this TV doesnt have it.
