Product Snapshot
Overview
The Sony X900H is Sony’s mid-tier option released in 2020. It promises to touch every facet of entertainment, like its inclusion of HDMI 2.1 that next-gen consoles, the PS5 and Xbox Series X, can use for 120Hz gaming, and its Game Mode to provide a responsive and smooth experience.
Its 4K HDR Processor X1 claims to create rich, detailed textures in 4K, with the ability to do the same with its 4K X-Reality Pro upscaling technology.

Consensus
our Verdict
The Sony X900H has some great features for gamers, like a 120Hz refresh rate and 4K resolution, plus a wider color gamut and better viewing quality.
Unfortunately, its narrow viewing angle means it’s not ideal for large groups. It also doesn’t have HDR10+ or VRR (Variable Refresh Rate) yet, but a firmware update should fix that.
ReasonS to Buy
- Speedy response time
- 120Hz refresh rate
- Great contrast ratio
- Wide color gamut
- Peak brightness combats bright rooms
Reason to Avoid
- Very narrow viewing angles
- No HDR10+
- VRR unlocked after firmware update
