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.

Reason 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
