Interface bugs galore
Eric from QUAKER HILL, CT on 10/17/2020
Picture is great once you get something dialed in, I would love to be giving this 5 stars based on the various image details, which I spent 95% of my time researching before choosing this TV. However you will want a soundbar or other audio interface for this (and most UHDTVs) and it Really doesn't want to talk to my soundbar on the ARC HDMI connection. It does work SOMETIMES, so I know the bar itself works and it CAN work, but 75% of the time the TV wants to tell me the soundbar is not detected and it's switching to TV speakers. Manually override it, and it switches back again. I've scoured Reddit, etc, it turns out many people have these issues and some claim "Sony is aware and working on it". If I had a nickel... This issue is for a basic, output-only ARC connected soundbar, nothing to do with the fancy eARC or HDMI 2.1 software updates people are focused on for next-gen consoles etc - although my confidence in the latter is not exactly high based on the current experience. I'll gladly update this review if I can actually use my soundbar routinely one of these days.
Pros: Great picture at this price point.
Cons: Massively painful interface issues over ARC with a plain-vanilla soundbar system. It does work at times but TV simply doesn't want to stay connected to it. Tiny amount of DSE in the corners only, probably as good as it gets at this price point though, not very noticeable.

Sony XBR-65X900H
Crutchfield customer from Afton, NY on 10/13/2020
This is the first time I have owned a Sony. My first Sony came broken. 3 days later Crutchfield had me a replacement at my house. Thank You Anne-Marie for all your support. After setting the 65X900H I was blown away with the quality of the entire unit. I will only buy Sony now. And I had a small problem with my Home Theater System. Crutchfield Tech Service had me up and working in 20 mins. Come to find out my remote control to system went bad. Crutchfield Tech Service and Crutchfield get a 5 !! Rating from me. Thank You Crutchfield!!!
Pros: Excellent quality in Sony!!! From start to finish in setup. Picture quality is Amazing....
Cons: None

Great TV... Almost 5 Stars...
Crutchfield customer from Tierra Verde, FL on 10/13/2020
Amazing picture and colors that stand out in a very sunny family room in Florida. One star off for not having the Apple TV+ app even if you can watch Apple TV+ by AirPlay.
Pros: Color, brightness and interface.
Cons: No Apple TV+ app

Sony XBR-65X900H
Crutchfield customer from Kailua Kona, HI on 9/28/2020
Ok picture, I should have bought a roku tv set at this size. Not apple friendly, does not support the apple tv app. All smart tv's should not have this hang ups with apps, all apps should be supported. Roku tv made by Hisense support all apps, have a great picture and have awesome settings in all modes. This tv has very frustrating limited set up modes, thought Sony brand was great but not really. Some shows are great with this tv in HD and HDR but lousy in many others, not consistent. Got a smaller size version Roku HDR tv and it's far superior, not very happy, not sure what happened with the Sony brand.

Sony XBR-65X900H
Crutchfield customer from Saint Charles, MO on 9/23/2020
Bought this to replace a Vizio M60-C3 that after four years has developed several dark spots on the screen. After reading reviews of this Sony and competing Samsungs I decided on the Sony. Overall I am pleased with the picture, HDR content looks great. SDR and upscaled content is average to very good. If you decide to make any changes to the picture setting I would recommend making a note of the factory settings before you make changes. What I don't like is that ARC is not working with my Yamaha receiver, waiting for help from Yamaha on that. The other complaint is the vertical banding issue. You can see what this looks like, there is a youtube of a hockey player going back and forth, banding is quite visible. On my set it's there, maybe not as noticeable but disappointing. I haven't decided if it's a defect or just something I have to tolerate. You can also read about this by searching Sony x900H vertical banding issue. I've owned a few LED tv's and still have a couple of old plasmas so I'm aware that most LED tvs have some form of dirty screen effect but this is so uniform it looks like rows dimmer LEDs.
Pros: HDR content is beautiful
Cons: Vertical banding and ARC issues

Wonderful TV!
Crutchfield customer from Philadelphia, PA on 9/22/2020
This TV is fantastic. Wonderful color production and excellent backlighting! The only gripe I have is the remote control; it's a piece of garbage. I give the Remote a 1-star. I use the Mute Button often, for example, and it's a tiny little button barely visible even in the light of the brightest day.
Pros: Beautiful Colors Full Array Backlighting Overall excellent TV
Cons: Hard-to-use remote (at least I haven't gotten used to it yet).

Crutchfield customer from Tempe, AZ on 9/9/2020
I truly love Crutchfield's. This is the second tv that I have purchased. I gave them my budget for my master bedroom. They sent me a few tv's. I then said for $500 dollars more what's my best value. They introduced me to the Sony. I already owned the 77" master series. I just love the tv that he recommended. Also a few days later it dropped another $250.00. Once again I am a very satisfied customer

Crutchfield customer from Saint George, UT on 8/23/2020
The Customer Service All Stars at Crutchfield helped me with the perfect TV, cables and wall mount. All set for the Stanley Cup Playoffs and NFL season. Never has transaction gone smoother. The refresh rate makes action almost like being there. Additionally the 4K channels make viewing beyond belief.

Crutchfield customer from Lawrenceville, NJ on 8/23/2020
Crisp and clear picture. Excellent Audio and great viewing angles all around the room. Still tweaking some of the audio settings (we're using a Yamaha sound bar). We "cut the cable" almost a month ago so we're in purely streaming mode. Remote is fairly easy to use and appreciate the voice command ability.

Sony + Crutchfield = Happiness!
Crutchfield customer from N Hollywood, CA on 8/21/2020
I have been a Crutchfield customer for years now, but I've never bought such a big ticket item from them. Really happy I did. We love it! The picture is excellent and it was super easy to set up. I was going to get the 950H, but this 900 is amazing. Also, thanks to Crutchfield for the super fast delivery, and great customer service. I don't think I will ever buy from anyone else again, Crutchfield FTW!
Pros: Great Picture. Easy to set up. The video game setting is amazing with my PS4 Pro. No lag. The sound is not bad, but I use a separate 7.1 receiver. The remote is easy to use and labeled clearly.
Cons: The TV stand is comes with is kinda flimsy, but mounted on the wall, it's fine.

Crutchfield customer from Hawthorn Woods, IL on 8/12/2020
quick directions didn't mention the metal standoffs needed to be screwed in before attaching hanger. Android software is nice if you have an android, but also a bit intrusive. Overall the picture is good, the sound is terrible.
Pros: good picture quick setup with android phone
Cons: terrible sound

Crutchfield customer from Thomasville, NC on 7/21/2020
Great picture but some channels (weather channel in particular) do not display with the correct aspect ratio. The are stretched and oversized regardless of the settings on tv and cable remote. Wish I had my old Sony back that worked perfectly in that perspective.

This TV is ABSOLUTELY PERFECT! I only feel confident buying TVs on Crutchfield. I appreciate the fact they understand Customer Service and they do everything possible to ensure you're 100% happy with your purchase. Considering the price point for this TV and the fact it's Sony, is pretty remarkable. The TV is definitely future proof (just waiting on firmware upgrade). I'd recommend adding a premium Soundbar like Sonos Arc. There is no reason to go to the movie theater anymore, it's now in your home. Enjoy!
