Aside from just reading the specks, and missing a few features that other brands have, No one talks about how color accurate and how realistic most sony TV's look. The experience and quality that sony gives is unique.

@furballbear 4 ай бұрын

Agreed, my Sony X85K is much more color accurate than my Samsung Q80R although there are people who prefer Samsung's saturated colors.

Hey, it's a Sony with quality components and good manufacturing quality control. Customer support is much better. I know that in 7-8 years this tv is still going to be performing well but I seriously doubt the TCL or Hisense will. At least that's my experience and feedback from friends, family, coworkers.

I just returned the Q7 because it flickered constantly, and I had to unplug my soundbar from the ARC every time I turned it on. My stepson's dad bought him a Hisense and I hate having to help him with it. Very slow operating system and I hate the remote.

I have been using the X85K since March and I use it as my PC monitor and gaming and it’s really perfect. I have an Oled as well, but I prefer gaming at my desk, and this TV is amazing. I have no complaints. Blacks are blacks and it’s just enough bright for me and HDR looks good as well. Good by. Also the screen is glossy which is a win as well.

I've been keeping my eye on this TV for a while. I want to use it in the exact same way as you...as my PC / Gaming monitor. In this video he shows that it doesn't handle 2K(1440P) resolution, but he doesn't say if that Console specific or across the board. Seeing that you have it hooked up to your PC / GPU, will it go into 1440P resolution with your GPU? I like to game in that resolution for the higher frame-rates and sharper resolution over 1080P. Thanks in advanced for any information & light you can shed on this option. No 2K(1440P) = No purchase for me.

I have the 43 model. It really should be atleast 450$ to compete in the market. Only reason I got the 43 is that I travel every few months and it’s easy to pack in the box and put it in the back seat of my truck. A 50 would barely fit but I didn’t wanna spend the extra money on the 50. The tv is nice and light. Also. To pack up. I can do it myself. It works great for my ps5. Playing spiderman 2 looks amazing. My cousin as the a90k 42 for his pc setup and it’s quite dim. And for half the price of a c3 or a90k this isn’t a bad pick up. TCL needs to put 120hz in a 43” model

Good review. Sony New Zealand charges NZ$1,299 for it. My Sony 4K TV (2017 model) only has 60Hz. Since I've ordered a new high end custom desktop PC, I'll look into getting this to avoid screen tearing with high frame rates capable from my RTX 4080 that a 60Hz display could face. I wish Sony created an official remote app where you can use your smartphone as the remote control. Should be doable especially for 2023 and without having to resort to 3rd party apps.

Hey it’s Sony you cannot lose the X 85K sits in the middle between the X 80 K and the X 90 K however I don’t think it’s worth spending over $1000 to get a few extra features I just have a question for those of you who gamers do you recommend this model I want to get it to replace my 12-year-old 50 inch TV for gaming

@zerocal76 3 ай бұрын

Bro, pretty much any TV u get nowadays will be a great replacement to your 12 yr old one lol I've been researching this Sony TV a lot, I'm very picky but also budget-minded. So this is my choice for 42/43 inch size. The best TV for gaming at that size rn is the LG C3 but its $300-350 more. Once u go to 55 inches or bigger u have more options, w my top value pick there being the Hisense U8K. Hope this helps!

@thebig12conference73 3 ай бұрын

@@zerocal76 actually bro I’m probably looking at the 55 inch and the one that I am buying is the Sony X 85 model. I like that it is under $900 which $900-$1000 is my budget for a 55 inch TV. I lome that it has 120 HZ, when most entry levels get only 60. For streaming Netflix it is fine but not for gaming or movies. I was going to get the D 80 model but the heck with it, I might as well spend $250 more and get a middle of the road one. The next level up, even for a 55” are the QLEs’s and they cost about $2000. You don’t even want to know the price for the 75”. I also will wait probably until Black Friday. Amazon has a 75” x85 with an A 3000 sound bar for $1699 so I am sure with taxes you are looking at the neighborhood of $1800. I set aside a budget of $3000 for two TVs so my goal is to keep my master bedroom TV under 1000 and my living room under 20000.

@toutloffc - You'll need to adjust your PlayStation's HDR settings first. Look around because there are videos that explain how to get those 3 settings right. Then bring down the brightness on your television. You'll also need adjust contrast, sharpness and color. Don't leave the settings at the default because the image looks horrible. Reply here if you want me to share my settings as I have my image dialed in pretty well with no adverse impact to lag.
