The Sony X800H is a great choice for people who want to host a viewing party. It’s held back by a bad contrast ratio, its proclivity towards glare, and no advanced gaming features like an HDMI 2.1 port or a variable refresh rate.

Consensus

our Verdict

The Sony X800H has great peak brightness and wide viewing angles, making it a great choice for watching sports with friends. The wide color gamut and low input lag make it great for gaming, but it’s held back by a bad contrast ratio, glare, and no advanced gaming features. It’s similar to the Sony X750H 4K TV.

Reason to Buy

Fantastic Peak Brightness
Low Input Lag
Good Color Gamut
Wide Viewing Angles

Reason to Avoid

Bad Contrast Ratio
No VRR
Doesn’t Support HDMI 2.1
Prone to Glare
