Just got this in 65 inches. Replaced my X750H (cracked screen). Incredible TV. Blown away by the picture quality. Was torn between this and the X90K with the full array screen. Glad I went with this as it is already incredible picture quality.
I got this in 75 inches with a new PS5 Spider man 2 120 is just wow i love everything about it also watching 4k movies is insanely good it literally does it all
I just moved to a new place and decided to move my PS5 setup to its own room (so i won't have to fight for the TV with the wife and kids anymore 😅) And i bought this TV, thanks to your review! Stay Blessed ❤️🔥❤️🔥❤️🔥❤️🔥
I have the 65 inch and it has the best picture on any TV I have owned.. I put it in standard picture, and only adjusted the color spacing, changing it from the factory set to to DCI
Cool I just ordered one yesterday I will try that
What is dci?
hows ur tv guys, any issue on x85? planning to buy one. kinda worried if it will last long@@DustoVonSusto
There’s another YT reviewer that recommends dci and it does make a difference.
We need a full video of gaming on the ps5 with this
Finally! Another review about the positives of this line,we have the 50" in our family room and it's great.There is a reviewer trashing the x85k 50", and i don't get it,we love ours, fits our needs just fine.
@davidmcdaniel5929 A month later are you still happy with the X85K?
@@furballbear yes, still a great tv
Hey man, I have a question. On your Sony X85K when you click on the PS5 video output information does is show that it’s displaying 4K HDR in the “RGB” format or the other formats? That’s a big selling point for me and I’m super curious before I make the purchase
Yes it is in RGB with HDR format
What's your picture settings if you don't mind because i have the same tv and it doesn't look as clear as yours.please respond
You can check out this unboxing video where I go through my picture settings: th-cam.com/video/xdZ3rml8n4c/w-d-xo.html
I go through them at the 5 minute mark
Unfamiliar with the meaning of and differences between the 4 HDMI ports. Have a PlayStation 4 pro, a Roku box, and a Sony 4k Blu-ray player all hooked up to my X 85 K TV. Any suggestions as to which port for which device? Does it even matter?…
Thank you for your thorough review, I hit like and subscribe because I purchased this TV, based on this review..I am an engineering project manager so I have a technology background.
I got the latest 2023 model, I do not see any differences from the 2022, it might have a slightly faster CPU. Here are the pro's and only one con
PROS
1- The picture quality, you get 120 HZ and the 2:1 ratio, along with VRR ability.
2-Instalation is easy and it is easy to pair up your blue tooth devices. For my sound bar, I used my Onyx Harmon Kardd0om speakers. It paired it up no problem
3- This TV is made specifically for gaming, they even have an input button for your Play Station 5.
4- You get four HDMI ports, which should be more than enough to pair up all of your devises. I have my PlayStation, and my laptop.
5- For the value for your money, you are getting 120 HZ it does everything you need.
CON
The biggest con is it is not cheap 43" costs $650 with amazon prime.
hi i was wondering if anyone has update the Firmware to v6.7546 for North America on x85k because all i see is improvement performance and i want to know if is has any issue after the update or is just get better but if so what is the different?
Just picked up a 43i inch yesterday. Thanks for your review as it helped me with my decision.
Glad I could help!
Just bought this 1 month ago. I have the 50 inch. I had to turn brughtness down about 3 notches. How do you put tv in game mode and get 120 hz? Thanks.
it should auto go into game mode when a PS5 is being used in terms of VRR and 120hz watch this video: How To Enable VRR On Sony Bravia X85K!
th-cam.com/video/reGsgptw38A/w-d-xo.html
Thanks for the recommendation. I think you mentioned that you used it for video editing. How close were you sitting? I will probably put mine (if i get it) on the desk. So I wonder how you liked sitting kinda up close to a 43" screen?
I was sitting fairly close close enough that both my hands could be on the table to reach the keyboard and mouse. I actually enjoy it, sitting close to a 43" screen immerses you and it lets you notice the little details.
Can you easily cast your Android phone and tablets to this TV? I have a Galaxy phone but with X85K running on Google TV, I wonder whether Samsung could have an edge in terms of screen casting and connectivity here.
SEPARATE QUESTION: Speaking of being future-proof, does the TV get regular OS updates?
Yes you can cast via galaxy since it is a google tv. Actually when you set it up you have to set it up through the Google home app. Also yes it gets regular updates. For example VRR wasn’t originally in the tv then they updated it to add it and since then I’ve received many other updates.
Hows xbox one on this? Does the 120hz look good
I’m not sure I do not own and Xbox
I know this is late but xbox series x only does 1080p @ 120hz, not 4k. Still beautiful picture though
The fact now its only 550bucks is kinda insane cuz it is hdmi 2.1
WHERE?
On amazon
Thanks for sharing I bought the Sony X89K 43 inch Model this week,what are those Inner Holes for where you put the Stand Legs into I couldn’t get them to fit in the Inner Holes.
On the bottom there are two metal holes you have to spin them around and switch the hole until they eventually go in. It took me a few seconds to figure out which is which
@@NoahBest Thanks for the info,I put my stand legs on outer holes and was trying to figure out ho to fit them in the centre holes in stead but they seemed to be a different shape,so do I just put my fingers in to spin the holes.
@@NoahBest I find the Guide info and Programe info very small compared to my Panasonic TV.
hi guys i have one problem with sony x85k. i bought it but my phone cant detect sony bravia x85k when doing screen mirroring. how do i connect my phone on this sony bravia x85k?
If you have an iPhone you can connect via AirPlay!
How do you mirror your windows pc to the TV wirelessly? I can't find the settings for it unfortunately.

Thanks for this review, I’m actually very happy with this TV I watched your review about two weeks ago and chose to buy this model. To me it was a big upgrade from my Sony 900 E that burned out. Great Review!!
We just bought it 2 weeks ago, I love the tv, it's great for our needs.
Hello. Good day, is the Sony x85k TV remote control one of those where you don't have to point the remote control at the TV to control it???
I’m not sure what you mean. All tv’s have remotes.
@@NoahBest I mean what if the remote is Bluetooth so you don't need to point the remote at the tv? for example to increase the volume
@@NoahBestHello again. Do you know if the TV can be turned on without having to point it at the X85K? Because I read that the power button is infrared and you need to point it at the TV to turn it on.
Just bought this tv to replace a 10 year old Sony X 72OE which was a decent bargain basement entry level 4K tv and was still working fine. The difference in picture quality was obvious. The X85K was much brighter with deep blacks, vibrant colors, smooth motion and crisp details. Almost didn’t buy because Quantum sort of trashed it in his review. Maybe I’m just easy to please but this tv looks awesome. And after I switched to a better internet provider with more bandwidth the picture blew me away. I like the way the tv links with my PlayStation 4pro and my Sony 4K blu ray player without having to fumble with other remotes. Any suggestions as far as calibration to get the optimum picture?
In my unboxing video beginning at 4:56 I pause it so people can see my settings: th-cam.com/video/xdZ3rml8n4c/w-d-xo.html
@@NoahBest Will check it out. Many thanks…
Quantum is a Sony hater. He acts like he’s not biased, but trust me, the more videos you watch the more you realize he’s just butthurt that Sony has the tv market on lockdown when it comes to picture quality.
I just received this today and ps5 says VRR is not supprted so... It is ir not? Could you please clarify this for me?
You must ensure that the VRR setting is enabled in the TV HDMI settings, and it must be plugged into either HDMI, port three or four using an hdmi 2.1 cable
any issue mate on the x85? kinda worried if this tv wont last long. planning to buy one
I’ve had no issues in the time I’ve owned it whatsoever
@@NoahBestHello. Good day, is the Sony x85k TV remote control one of those where you don't have to point the remote control at the TV to control it???
Do you find the color gradient on your X85K perfect, no color banding? I just purchased an X85J the color banding is terrible. I wonder if I should return & get X85K instead.
I personally have not noticed any colour banding.
@@marvindiyco2377 I havent even plugged anything just set the Google TV up & immediately noticed the banding when I click the apps icon, the banding appeared on the glow/highlights around the app icon especially on red & blue highlights, the white glow did better. Then I opened Google, played Ghost of Tsushima opening scene the banding was terrible on the sky in the firs seconds of the scene. Played Batman First 10 Minutes, banding on darker scene, Silk Sonic live Grammy with black background banding same with Gravity trailer, noticable on the black background. Then played Moana 2160p on external, some light banding on bright blue sky terrible banding on dark night skyscene. But theres something more QUESTIONABLE I installed AIDA64 7 it said REFRESH RATE 60hz I thought I bought a 120hz one?? Could you please check your display refresh rate on AIDA64? Thanks!
I have the x85j and the banding is horrible. BUT I went on my phone and watched the same videos on TH-cam and noticed it’s there too I think this tv jus highlights it more
@@marvindiyco2377 you saying turn live color off or on?
@@marvindiyco2377 I tried the live color thing. But it didn’t work it’s still very noticeable. On my phone I can see banding too I just think the tv highlights it more. When I say color banding I mean like the sky or especially in darker areas of a scenes the colors don’t blend with eachother it just becomes a big digital mess. That’s more what I’m referring to
does it have matte screen or do you see your own reflection in it when TV is off?
When it is off you can see a bit of a reflection. However, when it is on you can see no reflection
@@NoahBest I have to disagree - during dark scenes reflections are very pronounced
thanks for the review! any comments on text clarity when reading text or for coding.
Do you recommend this over the X90k?
X90K is the model above so it has some more handy features!
I’ve been considering this tv for my ps5
Is there any difference between this and the X89K?
The sole difference between the two is the motion flow XR index
Bought one today..waiting for delivery…is it true 4K at 120? Did you checked any 120 fps games
yes it is true 4k 120 with full bandwith
@@NoahBest
I had the same question as this guy and I keep hearing conflicting reports some people say that it's true 4K 120 other people say that any Sony TV with the X1 chip can't do it which this has
Hello
Which TV better for watching soccer and movies X85K or X80K?
Thanks
X85K
@@NoahBest and if comparing between X90K AND X85X?
Hi what is the difference between x90 vs x94k sony
The X95k has much better reflection handling, better viewing angles, and a better local dimming feature. The X95k is also much brighter, and small highlights stand out better in HDR. The X90k, on the other hand, has better native contrast and better black uniformity, with less cloudiness in dark scenes
How many watts for 55 inch in used???
Burn in probability with this particular Sony model TV 75" ? Whatcha think? Thanks! 🙏♐
there is an extremely low chance if not no chance of burn in as this is not an oled display
Thanks for this review man it was cool to watch and I actually bought the x85k 50 inch TV last night from Amazon for $150 a month for 5 months no interest cannot wait to play on it.
Amazing, I hope you love it!
@@NoahBest
I returned it sadly there was more ghosting than my old Sony x900f. I'm just gonna use my x900f and buy an LG c2 when I save up the money. It was a good tv aside from the ghosting
@Yashvir The Pentester yes only 1
@@KapinKrunch Is ghosting the same as smearing?
Does this tv support 720p?
Yes it outputs 720p
Is it good for a ps5 I'm looking to upgrade from a Samsung q60t 60hz but I was looking to get a 120hz tv and I was looking at this tv for 699.99 and I was look at the lg c2 but the c2 is 899.99 I need help will the ps5 show very good on the Sony 85k
For me it has been amazing, however if you can spring money for the OLED I would
I got this TV in 43 inches for our 3rd bedroom. It seems to be OK but compared to our 4 year old 65 inch A8H, this TV lacks contrast and needs constant twicking to get picture to this OK level. It seems that there is only so much you can achieve with a VA panel.
@SBM200612 - VA panels generally have better contrast than IPS. However, the direct backlit X85K disappoints slightly in brightness when compared to say the full array local dimming X90L but the X85K also doesn't suffer from as much noticeable blooming.
This might be a stupid question but does the TV have free channels. Like local ones for news
Not that I know of, no
Do you think I should just grab this for $748 or save up more and get a c2 48" for $1200
599 in best buy rihht now
The OLED will be superior in a dark viewing environment, especially in dark scenes. It also delivers more of that HDR “oomph” because of it’s perfect blacks and has more HDMI inputs.
That being said; it’s quite a few hundred bucks more expensive and potentially less accurate out of the box (LG panels are still a bit of a lottery in regards to image accuracy unfortunately). It’s also prone to burn-in, which can be a problem if you watch the same channel or play the same game everyday.
You have to decide for yourself.
I agree!
@@Miha-ii3dy
Yeah I get that I'm trying to find an LED panel that actually displays 120hz 4K correctly I've been reading that a lot of them basically half the resolution to be able to display it at all. I read that The hisense u8h and any Sony TV with the X1 chip all do it. I saw a few high end Sony xr TVs and high end Samsung that display 4k 120 properly but then they cost the same as the C2. So that's why I'm thinking I'm just going to get to c2 at this point. I don't think burning is going to be that big of an issue because I only play in bursts of maybe 3 hours at a time max. Luckily in the meantime my current TV can do 1080p 120hz until I find a TV I can afford or save up for
@@KapinKrunch As someone who owns a LG CX and last year’s X85J; Yes, the 4K120 issue on Sony X1 chips is fact I think, but in my opinion it’s either way overblown or it only affects PC’s, because I can’t for the love of god notice any image clarity downgrade when playing PS5 games at 4K60 or 4K120.
Regarding OLED burn-in; it’s cumulative. Doesn’t matter if you play in smaller bursts or in long sessions. Only total time matters (high brightness and color intensity also affect it negatively). But yeah, if you’re playing like 2-3 hours a day, even if it’s the same game, I wouldn’t worry about it. Should serve you for years.
As someone who is looking for a 43in as a replacement to my old 2019 TCL, im sold after a few reviews.
Im using it as a monitor, and i wont go over 43. And unfortunately you only have two options at this size.
Dirt cheap shitty screens loke TCL 4 series, or bank breaking oleds.
Wish this size range hadn't been abandoned
I hope it works great for you!
This TV does NOT do 120 hz at 4k. When you switch to 120 fps, it dithers 1080p
This is incorrect. It does 4K and 120hz
Not true
I love my Sony X90J too ✌🏻
@NoahBest ... Im looking for the dimentions of the footpint of the feet... i can find the size of the feet front to back but not how far apart they are on the 43inch only the width of the tv, can you help?
Thanks so much for the review and the unboxing video as well! I think both videos have finally put me over the fence, I got the 43" and it's arriving tomorrow. I game primarily on Switch but I have a Series X too, so I figured it would be awesome to finally get that 120Hz, especially when I play Overwatch. Thanks so much again!
I’m glad I could help! I hope you have a great experience!
Please share your experience with us.
I messed up my tv by connecting it to google tv app and it made my apps on my tv look like third party apps and turned them round instead of rectangular with low quality logos
What tv size u have ?
This is a 43”
I'm planning to get myself a PS5 but god knows when I'm gonna be able to purchase one (hard to buy in my country). In the meantime I am thinking about buying a TV first, is really 85k a good investment?
I believe it is a good investment depending on the price where you live. For me here in Canada it was a good deal compared to and lg oled for example. Which is about a thousand more here. Depending where you are and the prices where you live if it’s a good deal then yes 100%
@@NoahBest i just checked lg oled, comes with a more hefty price than Sony's 85k. I'm probably sticking with this one. Thanks bud, appreciate it a ton
@@tepaguilar8964 this a great tv bro
120HZ at 4K does not really happen though with any AAA games on the PS5 wit this TV. When you turn up the settings in the games like The Last of Us 1, the newer redone version, and click on quality over frame rate, it is clearly stuck at around 30-40 FPS. Now if you turn the settings down and make sure the TV has the proper settings, you get a lesser picture that has amazing frame rates, but it is not full 4K at high end settings. HOWEVER, the next gen consoles (ps5 pro or PS6) for the TV should be even more amazing. I DO love this TV though, it is amazing.
Yes, you are correct, however i agree the tv itself is amazing!
I disagree, when I sent the settings in the tv hdmi, the console and the game it’s much faster than 40 fps. You gotta change your settings
Depends on the game bro. Last of us wasn’t a original ps5 game, but it’s only a few games running at 120 right now. I feel by next year it will be many more
I got me one open box new for $145
Sony x85k or 90k ?
If you can afford the extra cost and prefer more local dimming zones then go for the 90k
@@NoahBest is there any pixel burning in x90k
Just got it
I think this tv looks incredible
It is!
I love the TV … only it’s doesn’t support HDR10+ , nevertheless nice set
Sadly it has the 4 corner tips with darkness
What do you mean?
Lol. WTF?
Why am I seeing your face 80% of the video rather then the tv? And super close up too! What are we your dermatologist? Enough with the 400 zoom close up
yes, a bit too much
Terrible color quality and black corners in the corners of the screen,black corners of the screen, very bad viewing angle from the side, in some scenes blue-purple contours in the outlines of the characters
Maybe you have a bad unit?
It's not even a qled, it's a va panel not good upscaling, no local dimming, smooth gradation. Poor dark light contrast why wouldn't you buy an oled panel instead for the same money. It's got poor sound quality Sony used to be well known for there good sound quality. How do you think this is good value for £800?
It is a good deal because I spent 800 canadian which is only £480
@@NoahBest lucky you. It's pricey in the UK.
Amazing lol!!
Glad you enjoyed!
Made in China?
from what I could find they are made in factories located in different countries around the world like India, Malaysia, and China
