Sony XH95 (X950H) 4K HDR TV Review

Рет қаралды 417,084

4 жыл бұрын

We review the Sony XH95 (also marketed as the Bravia X950H in the USA) 4K LED LCD TV, which features full-array local dimming direct-lit LED backlighting, X1 Ultimate video processor, X-Motion Clarity black zonal insertion system, X-Wide Angle tech, HDR support for HDR10, HLG and Dolby Vision but not HDR10+, upgraded Acoustic Multi-Audio sound, as well as Android 9.0 Pie Smart TV platform.
Our XH9505 review sample is the 55-inch Sony KD-55XH9505, model number KD55XH9505BU which is the UK 3-pin-plug version.
Note that at 5:35, we purposely drove the backlight higher and filmed off-axis for the purpose of counting the number of local dimming zones. Blooming was less apparent in real-world actual viewing.

Forgot to mention in the video that due to the viewing angle compensation film, occasionally there'd be rainbow reflections when light hits the screen at a certain angle. Not easy to capture the phenomenon, but here's a photo: imgur.com/a/ulL2THe

Excellent video as always! I personally am very sad to see the days of higher zone counts disappearing and while I enjoy the X950H I still feel it's very similar to the X950G and the lack of Hdmi2.1 is a shame as it clearly would have separated itself from the 950g and 900f which is also still available. Awesome work as always and I'm truly thankful for your content and all the hard work you do. Thank you!

@BRIANSTECHTHERAPY 4 жыл бұрын

@@PSYCHOV3N0M yes it does however this particular set does not and this is the 4k flagship and if the 900h with hdmi2.1 can match the 950h in picture quality then what would the purpose be of the 950h? So therefore if the 900h cannot match the 950h in terms of picture quality yet has the desired features of a flagship I personally find that to be a little backwards. In short having Hdmi2.1 on the lesser set (900h) doesn't really help the fact that this flagship doesn't have it and in fact actually hurts it.

@Pencil-Eating 3 жыл бұрын

@@dmarable79 The motion is great because you can almost eliminate judder and blur without introducing the soap opera effect or significantly darkening the picture. Blooming is worse than the Q90t, but I prefer Sony’s approach of preserving highlights at the expense of some blooming, rather than other brands darkening highlights to reduce blooming. The blooming is noticeable during certain times but not distracting. And I would rather deal with a little blooming than lose image brightness.

As always, awesome review!! Thank you for that! One question though. For picture accuracy in regards of HDR content, does the X-tended dynamic range option need to be set to high? And is this also valid for the game mode, since on xg95 it seems that HDR-games looked more accurate when switching the option completely off. For movies high seemed to be the best option. But is it accurate or does it falsify the image?

Hello Vincent, thank you for another excellent review. I am looking for a new mid range (£500 - £1200) Sony TV but as Sony release too many midrange models (in my opinion) it is difficult to decide which to choose. For instance what is the technical difference between the Sony XH81, XH85, XH90, XH91 and XH95 models other than screen size? I don't find the Sony website very helpful at all and I think many of us Sony fans would appreciate a video explaining the differences between the models and reviews of the individual models. I myself am looking at the XH95 and XH91 models which I see available for £1200 (for the XH95) and £1000 for the XH91. I see the XH91 is available from 43 inches in size and the XH95 is available from 49 inche but how do they perform against each other and what do I get for the extra £200 in the XH95? I hope you can hep those of us struggling to make a decision on what model to buy. Thank you.

Hi Vincent, I read on reddit and some forums that model g and H series have 2.1 hdmi but Sony don't want to release a firmware update for this. So the x950h has hdmu 2.1 input, could you in some way confirm that?

@SquilloS 4 жыл бұрын

Peter 2D I to read something about that, they also mentioned that the x950g and the x950h have the same main boards and everything so they both are capable of it via firmware. Also there is talk of FreeSync being enabled via firmware soon.

@kingwillbisthebest 3 жыл бұрын

Is HDMI 2.1 hardware, software or a mixture of both? If it is exclusively software could Sony potentially provide a firmware update to the x950h in the future to include more 2.1 features including VRR and 4k120?

Y'all complaining bout HDMi 2.1 and 4K @120fps .....trust me, even next gen console can't run it smoothly, they gonna try 4K +60fps tops maybe it can touch in 120fps but I think the resolution around 2K or dynamic resolution ... I rather choose stable 1080p 60fps and 4k 30fps/60fps with no drop/lag....120fps stable in 4k?? Yeah wait till ps6

120fps isn't necessary. and even if were going to be used in consoles - most gamers don't have tvs that will handle it.

@wuzumaki 3 жыл бұрын

Finally someone that sees the facts for what it is. 4K@120FPS on even high end GPUs is not even happening, so what makes people think that they'll get 120FPS in native 4K on a gaming console that cost 1/2 - 1/4 of the price of a high end GPU alone? Sony and Microsoft did not just magically create a GPU that is more powerful than RTX 3090 and RX 6900XT, and then decided to put it in a $500 console.

I’m already looking forward to it. Great viewing angles, best processing in the industry but still a good black level. Screw samsung this year. I’m not even worried about hdmi 2.1. Lg just came out saying their hdmi 2.1 is not even saying it’s full bandwidth. And talking about gaming, i don’t mind the little higher input lag of 21ms to the 17ms on samsung, yet still retaining a good quality picture

@ledooni 4 жыл бұрын

LG did the exact right thing to just use tech that is actually necessary to get the best out of the panel without bringing up extra costs just to have the higher bandwidth on paper. This might be one of the reasons why they could lower the prices of their OLEDs once again but added other great features like FreeSync. The LG CX will most likely be the best TV this year if you at least also game on it a little. With the BX being the perfect more budget friendly alternative. If you don‘t need FreeSync the C9 or B9 might still be great as well. What Sony brings to the table regarding dimming zones in their flagship LCD is pretty disappointing. I agree that they have some advantages in terms of processing but overall a Q90R from last year will still outperform all Sony LCDs due to dramatically better higher amount of dimming zones. That Samsung reduced the dimming zones on their 4k models this year is pretty disappointing as well so I‘d either go for a Q90R or the full 8k 950TS which is sadly pretty overpriced since it‘s still the beginning of 8k. Not the best decision by Samsung. My choice will be the LG CX especially because of G-Sync for me as a PC gamer.

@@johjoh9058 X900H (XH90) will be the first Sony TV to offer support for HDMI 2.1's VRR (Variable Refresh Rate) and ALLM (Auto Low Latency Mode). The former is variable refresh rate for smoother, lag-free gameplay via a PC or game console (must also support VRR). The latter allows the TV to automatically switch into 'Game' mode when it detects a game via HDMI.

Holy cow how cool is that! I thought the XH95 is the same TV like the XG95 just with a new letter but I was so wrong! I thought Sony will never be able to get good blacks with x wide angle but even that they have improved! Also the XH95 has 10% higher HDR peak Brightness 1200 compared to last years 1100 XG95, not to mention the improved speakers which have been already great. Wow man, I’m impressed. Sadly there is no HDMI 2.1 then it would make it the best LED LCD 2020....

Sony X900H has full HDMI 2.1 ports. Also, you are high on drugs if you think AAA games on consoles will run at 4K 120fps. Developers will primarily target 4K/60fps, 1080p/120fps or maybe even 1440p/120fps. Always remember that MARKETING for consoles like to focus on showing off gorgeous graphics in commercials. Not frame rate. Most TV commercials run at 30fps or 24fps. The average gamer consumer doesn't even know what frame rate is.
