Next gen!
Crutchfield customer from North Olmsted, OH on 2/23/2021
I purchased this because it was a Next gen TV. I personally am not a fan of the microphone in the remote or google assist so that was not the draw. Picture quality is very very nice. Not OLed, but also not the price of OLed. Happy with choice! Easy to set up and program.

First Sony TV
Crutchfield customer from Boyertown, PA on 2/18/2021
After coming off a Samsung it is hard to get use to the darker picture the Sony produces especially on movies and Netflix... we only watch HD cable and Netflix so I can't honestly said what this TV can do with a 4k source being's I don't have any... The upscaling is very good... The built in speaker's are sub par, but I have it connected to a sound base... There are times it disconnects with the Wi Fi for no apparent reason, and also locks on a input source which requires pulling the power plug... I expected more for $1000 and will probably look to Samsung in the future...
Pros: Up scales very good Still has a headphone jack
Cons: No center stand, legs are 40 inches apart Need a sound bar or sound base as I use.... Far too many picture adjustments that have no explanation what they do because there's no intrusion manual...

Sony XBR-55X900H
Crutchfield customer from Hendersonville, NC on 12/10/2020
Nice TV! Sound is good even without a sound bar, and the picture is better than i expected. My room is tall and fairly large with a lot of windows, so i was concerned about reflections and whether the TV would be bright enough. This TV does great on both counts. Picture quality from over-the-air TV stations is outstanding, and even the streaming networks (via a 400Mbps wired internet connection) look really good. Important feature: Sony is less obnoxious than Samsung and LG about on-screen advertising and privacy-invading apps. Also i researched TV's on rtings, because it's about the only place left that actually publishes technical reviews of TV's; this Sony model did very well in testing. Very happy with purchase and with Crutchfield for consistently carrying better quality products and great service.
Pros: Better than expected picture and sound
Cons:

Fast and Easy
Crutchfield customer from Bessemer, MI on 12/2/2020
I was searching for a tv that would work with the new PS5. Sony recommended Crutchfield as a retailer to buy the tv from. I went to the Crutchfield site, they had the tv I was looking for, plus more information then other sites on the tv. I ordered it, then received a call from one of their reps double checking that it was I who had ordered it. 2 day delivery was great. Tv runs great and looks beautiful. My only complaint is with the android interface, its constant recommendations for 4 different services, I hate commercials, especially ones I can't rid of .
Pros: PS5 looks great on it, along with other content.
Cons: Android interface having constant recommendations for 4 different services near the top of the screen, with no way of removing it.

Exactly what we wanted and free tech support!
Crutchfield customer from Virginia Bch, VA on 12/1/2020
Our new SONY 55" TV is perfect and operates and displays the picture exactly how our advisor described it. Advisor helped us decide which model of the SONY 55" line would best suit our requirements. After it arrived in less than 24 hours, I needed technical assistance hooking up my 15 year-old Yamaha surround system. The tech rep pulled up the schematics for both my new SONY 55" TV and old Yamaha HTR -5935 receiver (over 15 years old) and quickly explained how to complete the hook-up. Quite impressive and very quick. That's why I buy from Crutchfield. Nobody else could do that.
Pros: Great pic Single remote Very solid legs
Cons: N/A

Another superb offering at a mid price point from Sony
Crutchfield customer from Hilo, HI on 11/27/2020
Black levels and motion within the dark scenes, along with the next gen features are the whole reason I waited for this model. So far I have not been disappointed. Obviously not top of the line quality, but also no where close to top of the line price. In my 20 years selling, installing, and handling tvs, Sony has one again proven why they are the king of the midline for realistic picture and performance.
Pros: Dark levels and consistent flow of movement through dark scenes. Picture settings can be made vibrant if you really want to look like a Samsung, but thankfully keep the typically flesh-tone Sony approach out of the box and in most preset options. Better than previous years at Smart UI Bluetooth remote, no need for line of sight. ?FINALLY SHIPPING ELIGIBLE TO HAWAII !!!! THANK YOU CRUTCHFIELD!!!!
Cons: Video game motion still artifacts a bit unless you go in and change settings each time you change content. Annoying when you run an AV reciever and only use one HDMI.

Sony XBR-55X900H
Crutchfield customer from Elko, NV on 11/15/2020
My son and I installed this TV on an existing wall mount in our bedroom. I was easy to set up and connect to our satellite dish "Joey". It was also easy to log into our Netflix, Amazon Prime and Disney+ streaming accounts. The picture is great and the sound is fine for our bedroom. The only thing that we have yet to do successfully is sync the two remotes into one as the TV remote must be used to turn the TV on and off and control the volume while the satellite remote is used for everything else.

Sony XBR-55X900H
Crutchfield customer from Miami Beach, FL on 9/23/2020
Very easy and fun to set up. Great picture quality and good sound. The "smart" features are a great feature providing access to a number of apps and content providers.My installation tip: you should consider the side of the TV where the inputs are located when choosing the length of your HDMI cables. The inputs on this unit are located on the left side facing the TV so if your components are on the right side of the TV, you may need longer cables.

Poor corners, or else 5/5
Tessa from Washington, DC on 8/25/2020
I got the 55" so the review will be for that model. FYI - I heard rumors of vertical bar issues on the 65 only, so that's part of why I got the 55. The Good: Great contrast - the best I've ever had in a set and per rtings.com one of the best outside of OLED. Colors are amazing. I'm not a colorist or someone with a calibration meter, but from my eyes it's excellent. Future HDMI 2.1 support with all the VRR and 120fps features. (I can't test this now, but I'm getting the PS5 in the winter, and the X900H will be compatible with all of the next gen motion tech. Inexplicably, the 950 series is not.) Android OS store has everything I could want. I still mostly use my Apple TV 4K because I have it set up the way I like it, but if I didn't I have no problems with Android. Menus are responsive. Some features are a little difficult to find. The bad: The corners are subject to strong vignetting, much more than I would have expected from a higher end TV and much worse than I even had on a cheap Visio that this replaced. For some reason, HDR is disabled on certain HDMI ports. This drove me a little crazy at first and I was concerned I had a bad unit. Did not test: Sound. (I use speakers, so I can't comment on the sound quality). Motion interpolation (I keep that off). Overall: Great PQ expect for the one issue. Kind of wish I had gotten the OLED CX instead, but this is a really solid set for th
Pros: Great contrast, bright, colors are excellent. 120fps/VRR/HDMI 2.1.
Cons: Lots of vignetting on the corners. Almost return-ably so. Certain functions are turned off on the port and have to be re-enabled in an obscure menu to get DolbyVision.

Review of the company's service, not the product.
Crutchfield customer from Anasco, PR on 8/4/2020
Ordered the tv via ups shipping, the first model came with a broken screen. Request for a return was immediately accepted within seconds of contacting customer service and a second model was shipped out to my address before I could even send the broken one. All of this to say Crutchfield's customer service and attention to problems is top tier. Thank you.

Sound Quality Needs Improvement
Crutchfield customer from Azusa, CA on 7/14/2020
Picture is great, sound quality not so much which prompted a purchase of a sound bar. Therefore, 4 stars.

So far so good. Nice set easy to set up with fastest UI speeds.
Crutchfield customer from Martinez, CA on 7/5/2020
Favorite feature... fast Smart TV response. Faster computer brain than other Smart TVs. Looking forward to testing NextGen 4G tuner for over the air broadcasts. Basic price with advanced features. Also super easy to set up with slide in feet with no screws needed. Look forward to testing it with new PS4 or PS5 as it has some new complimentary features in terms of refresh rate and HDMI ports. The fast scrolling, strong implementation of Android TV features make this a great TV for folks using Smart Home features. May buy another Larger one for another room in my home.
Pros: Easy set up... especially for Google/Android or Apple Home Kit users.
Cons: International box labels had me thinking I got wrong model until I found the tiny box end label. In rest of world sold as X90H... North American model is X900H. I had to search to find smaller label before opening it. NA model has new tuner... others not so.

The Standard in Easy to Use Settings
Steve from Show Low, AZ on 6/1/2020
Having owned Sony products for decades, five years ago I grabbed an LG TV on close out. I finally got tired of chasing that orange thing around the screen. The LG was also showing signs of screen instability. So I went back to a Sony 4K UHD TV. I bought the "G" model in March. Brilliant in every way, especially the user interface with settings. Easy in and easy out, setting a 'sleep timer' is quick and easy. Reliable quality with easy to navigate settings!
