#RTINGSdotcom #TVSony #PictureSettings - วิทยาศาสตร์และเทคโนโลยี
I've had the 65" model for a few months and at first all of the settings were definitely intimidating. Great video to help explain everything.
Mine came this week, love it, picture is amazing. the 4K disc of "Fallen World" is a show stopper. Thanks for all the tips, turning off light sensor made a huge difference.
Should I have XDR on or off for SDR content too? What does it do to the picture quality, just enhance the contrast/brightness? What are the pros & cons?
Great videos and recommendations guys... Keep up the good work... I got a 65in one of these... Just waiting to being put up on wall soon to try out these settings..
What would I do if I don't have external inputs but watch everything in the build in apps?
Will I have to change based on content manually? Cause obviously I can't adjust every input by itself.
Could I also follow this for X800H? I know some options will be missing.
Hey Alex, I didn't realize the X900H is a VA panel. So is the Sony X800H is my best option for a 65" IPS panel under $1000? (Two parents + four kids = need for wide-viewing angle). Or is there another option I'm missing? Or does another good sub-$1000 TV have wide viewing angles?
How often to people typically change settings on TVs like this? I'm about to get my first 4K TV. On my current Sony (bought in 2006) I only occasionally change to another picture setting. Obviously, some content looks better than others, but I generally didn't mind that not everything looked perfect all the time. How much of the changing and tweaking do these modern TVs remember so that you don't need to do it repeatedly as you switch between sources and content type?
Do you think turning off HDR affects input lag on game mode with the ps5?
What you guys think of the jbl club one compared to akg n700nc ,
What is your opinion on JBL Club One Headphones? I sadly replaced my akg n700nc with the jbl club one because akg n700nc is no longer in production and they've been found faulty
I love this TV! Two things I noticed:
SDR content is BRIGHTER than HDR content. For SDR content, I back off on the default max brightness down to 25. I also reduce SDR gamma from 0 to -2. HDR content I leave at the default brightness settings.
SDR content has more saturated COLOR than HDR content. SDR saturation I leave at the default 50. HDR color saturation I boost to 55.
Then SDR and HDR look very close to a match.
My 65 inch is getting delivered on Thursday cant wait
one thing I cannot seem to find clarity on(pun intended), is my scenario...my x900H is my PC monitor and ONLY a monitor. In other words I watch netflicks on it(thru win10 on my pc.). I game on it(also via my PC). So everything I view is funneled thru my pc to HDMI 3. So is there a recommended setting for this or should I be adjusting my settings for movie and for games despite them both fundamentally coming from one scource...my PC. Do I treat my PC as a "movie" when watching a movie and my PC as a "game system" when playing a game.
Perfect timing! Mine comes in tomorrow
u like it ?
@@95fyken Love it
Thursday! Cant wait for this TV. Any different settings for 85 inch?
I just purchased my 65" on the weekend for SB and will be trying out your settings. Good job with the detail! I have some questions: My XBOX One is using HDMI 4 port. If I use GAME settings for games and the built-in HD Blu Ray as CINEMA, will the TV change settings automatically even though only one HDMI port is used?
Yes it will. The TV will recognize when a game is started and switched automatically to game mode and when you go off the game and to a movie it will exit out of game mode. You can set the picture setting when your not in a game that way it's like have 2 presets in 1
@@ghosttrain5588 mine doesn’t do that.
Is it worth upgrading from a samsung nu8000 49'(60hz) to this?
Thank you! I’ll try this right now! 🙌
Can one capture full screenshots with TV's such as this one?
Thanks for the video i just purchased 75inch i just wanna ask on my devicr i can not activate auto pic mode it look like grayed out whts the reason for this?
First i find it too bright for me at 20 on brightness, so 8 is working better for me... and gamma on -2, in a mostly dark room... But i have one question, in 9:40 when you said about a lower resolution content, you mean fhd also? Cause the tv channels is fhd...
Hi could you please show equaliser settings? I feel that my same tv sounds quite flat !!
Should I turn on local dimming with sport (football) ?
Can we save the custom settings or we need to adjust it everytime we are switching
Will Sony(x900h) ever solve frame stutter on 50hz content?
Hey there. I put my tv in portrait mode and the photos turn off (goes back to wallpaper mode) after 10 min. I’ve been looking through the settings and can’t seem to find any setting that will leave the photo turned on . Any help please ? Thanks
That’s was a excellent tutorial
Definitely useful. Thank you guys!
HDTVTest settings are better
The VRR and ALLM update is now available to download so would you please update your rtings review after you test it and maybe post a video on your professional view of the implementation? The China model update is officially released, while for the US and EU mode there are direct links to download the FW and it works.
Hello! So Sony put out a statement that the first update is not complete. They are releasing the first part now with another update to follow "later this year". You can read more about it here: www.flatpanelshd.com/news.php?subaction=showfull&id=1633063112
@@RTINGSdotcom I just got a second update for VRR a few days ago. Would you say that’s the update Sony spoke of?
@@RTINGSdotcom is the update finally completed?
Is this settings available in sony kd43x8200e ?
Bought my 75 inch just right now, delivery scheduled. Can't wait to play with it.
After hours and hours of reviews and comparison videos I decided to buy this TV. Was I initially planning to buy OLED (burn issues), then QLED (expensive and great black level) and then a TCL (reliability issues) and then finally bought this (brilliant reviews).
I hope I made the right decision?
Let us know what you think! :)
@@RTINGSdotcom hi thank you but did I make a good choice over others similar priced TV's?
@@NOT_MOUNT_7 price?
Does it support the internal receiver?
Can u do the same for the TCL 2020 6 SERIES?
Awesome video. But was hoping someone could help me. I bought a new Sony 85” X91J (same as X900H) and was looking forward to pushing its sound out through eARC HDMI to my receiver’s ARC HDMI port. There is no sound when I do this though. Tried different cables. Nothing. Tv speakers work fine, but cant get audio from eARC.
When I go into the TV’s settings (to turn eARC to auto), I notice that the moment I select DISPLAY AND SOUND, the TV appears to switch to HDMI 3 (eARC). I can still proceed to switch eARC to auto, but I’m wondering if that’s in fact changing the setting for HDMI 3 only (which wouldn’t make much sense I don’t think). In other words, I’m not sure the TV knows I’d like eARC to output the audio of it’s native apps. Because it leaves the default screen, and switches to an HDMI port (even if there’s nothing plugged into an HDMI port) the moment I get close to accessing the eARC setting.
I’m not sure whether I’ve explained my problem clearly. Sorry if I haven’t. But if this happens to make sense, I’d love any insight into how I can change all audio (regardless of source) to be pushed out through eARC to my receiver. Thanks!!
PS. While the TV has eARC, the receiver has just ARC. But I think it should work anyway. I’ve tried both 2.0 and 2.1 cables.
Hello, please i have an issue! i can't change picture setting for the main menu of the tv! when i press “Display & inputs” it turn me automatically to HDMI 3 picture setting which is not the same of the main menu tv picture setting!
How do I change the input display back to the hdmi symbol instead of game?
When I have HDMI signal format pulled up, I get 3 options, not the 2 you displayed. I have a Dolby Vision option. So far, when I have DV selected it displays colors differently if not playing DV content. I have the ubp x800m2 connected, so when playing a DV disc I have to manually turn on DV on the player and then on the tv hdmi input.
At least Sony is staying consistent with that manual check
The plastic cover is a little wobbly on the top side of the tv. Is this the case for everyone or is it mine that is faulty? Please reply anyone. Thank you
how do you get xmotion clarity with game mode??
Are these settings for 4K HDR content?
Thank you for this tips Rtings! Can anyone suggests whether this settings for movies and tv shows will be same for X950G/X950H? Since I have 65” X950G as well. Anyway can shed some lights?
So what are the specific settings for this TV for ps5? I don't see them listed anywhere. Just to turn on enhanced signal format.
Game mode settings. There's not much new going on compared to the ps4 pro. Besides 120hz for not even a handful of games there's nothing new.
Having had the x900h for well over a year now, I believe the best Gamma setting is -1 (not default 0) for exceptionally natural coloration.
Thanks for sharing! Ultimately, this sort of thing comes down to personal preference, but we'll share this with our display team! :)
Also my Firecube works great with it.
I know my 900H is a 120hz refresh rate, but my nvidia shield tv only allows 60hz. Is there a conflict between my tv and shield with respect to refresh rates?
Will the x900h receive the Google TV update ?
In expert 1 colour mode , there is yellowish tinge .how to tweak it
Will it get the Google TV update?
I don’t game anymore. What would be the best overall settings for streaming live TV and movies? I don’t want to have to change settings every time I change the type of content I am watching.
Computer Monitor not the same thing as computer gaming, so computer gaming should use Gaming or other thing?
7:20. Works for nintendo switch also.
I done calibrated with Calman home for my Sony X9000H (Aussie version) and am happy with result. Only small problem is cannot do color space adjustment and red/blue are a bit inaccurate. Red sometimes shift towards magentish cast on red.
I have the same problem with RED colour. It seems oversaturated and out of place. Other times it seems like a little posterazation?solarization. I have tried everything, only thing that kinda makes things better is using DCI color
@@ams3dams3d14 My belief is that Sony triluminos display might be a culprit to that. Rather wide colour gamut. Samsung QLED is different their is more orangish red and strong green saturation. Sony is more toward magenta red and strong blue. Interesting though! Im not sure what nanocell is like though.
Hope to see Sharp Aquos 60 model 4tc60bk1x review and comparison with others TV as SONY and Samsung .
Does anyone know the name of the music track? It goes hard!

How do you unlock the size of the picture it is locked on full
Whenever I change picture settings. It changes automatic. How to fix it? Any help please.
Thanks
For the movies section, when I go to my picture settings I don’t see the Auto Picture Mode, is that a bad thing?
I have the X90j. The auto picture mode is pretty much always greyed out. It’s of no concern because you’ve already told the tv which picture mode you want it to use. Standard, cinema, custom, ect. Better that you make that decision rather than let the tv do it.
Why my tv is not saving the settings ??? When i turn off tv the settings reset
Well Done 👏,
Kindly if anyone could help me, because i have the Sony TV X900H but i can't see the screen mirroring option on the TV to connect my android mobile !!! And the WiFi direct option on the TV also didn't work!
What phone do u have ? You should search wireless display in ur phone settings. At least thats how i get it to work
Hello
Possible to use settings on xh8096 ?

Here are our suggested settings for the XH80: www.rtings.com/tv/reviews/sony/x800h/settings
Guys, which TV is much better for movies and tv: xh90 or lg bx?
Its depending how often do you tv. Overall better TV is OLED LG, but if you watch many tv streaming,cable tv, watch news etc I would go for LED tv's like Sony xh90, because Oled can burned in.
One thing not mentioned in this video is that the native apps run in 60p. To remove judder when watching 24p content with the native apps, you should set Cinemotion to Auto, Motionflow to Custom, and then keep the Smoothness and Clearness set at Minimum.
Is minimum 1
@@l21n18 No, it's one step below 1. Just move the sliders all the way to the left.
Why until now no reports for tcl 8k or lg oled 8k
How do I enable the talk search feature? I try to press/hold the google button but nothing prompts me to speak. I have to manually go up on the left corner of the screen to use it.
You have to connect your remote as a bluetooth device. By default, it only works as IR. You'll then also be able to use the remote without having to point it at the tv.
You just press the button once you don't hold it. Lol then u say something like what's the weather. Or what was the score for last night's game
Can someone help me out. I cant change picture settings from apps on home menu. Like TH-cam or something else. It switches automatically to hdmi 4
I want rtings.com to test the harman kardon fly anc and akg n700nc m2 , pleaseee
I can’t turn on my Remastered an HDR please help
4:39 that smirk
can we expect a video for the samsung q90t? thanks a lot!
Will this tv work under water?
This or LG A1 for gaming? I'm a SP-only casual player who prefers visuals over fps.
If you want LCD for gaming this tv is a must have. If you are not afraid ( 🤣) of burn-in LG CX or C9 will cover your needs and more for past generation consoles and current gen ones.

So should I leave cinemotion off in Custom settings? I notice yours is off? I currently have mine on AUTO.
Cinemtotion should stay Auto, but disable Motionflow.
@@pb24dagrk motionflow on x900h is amazing there’s no soap opera effect whatsoever it handles it pretty good actually. You’ll notice much smoother picture with motionflow (on) especially when watching sports
@@Vegitobluuuuu I prefer Off. Too smooth for me and I see soap opera.
@@pb24dagrk Lol without it the picture is not smooth for me even if the SOE is greatly visible I’d still want a smooth picture
You guys all seem like sheep, the tv is yours, test it with on/off/auto. Only you can say and choose what you like. Don't fall for all this "creators intent" crap, they sure as hell aren't making movies to be watched at home.
This video goes through all of the settings, but I found that following along and changing HDR settings later caused changes to what I had set before.
I feel like the settings would be more effective if it was in an intended order, rather than sequential through the menu
Hey Jarred,
Thanks for the feedback. We'll be sure to keep this in mind for future videos!
@@RTINGSdotcom cheers! I'd say go through all menu options sequentially at the start for familiarity, then the sections for recommended settings are in intended order. i.e. HDR first, then gamma, then... 😊
Auto local dimmer should be on medium and advanced contrast enhancer should be off. I tested this setting Vince from HDTVtest is correct.
You said “set Auto Local Dimming to high”. In the HDR and Dolby Vision default settings it’s medium. Should we change it? Disable Motionflow and Cinemotion for HDR and Dolby Vision too?
Auto local dimming should be on high and always on high in hdr
Watch this th-cam.com/video/agE8NAcX-bs/w-d-xo.html he shows you why you want to keep it on medium, and not change it to high. And keep contrast enhancement off.
@@madmax2069 saw this as soon as he posted it and knew it was a response to this video. Vincent is awesome.
@@Kung_Fu_Kenny yeah I figured as much, as well as people like the one that replied to you telling people to crank it up on high.
@@madmax2069 To be fair, he said to leave HDR/DV settings to default to maintain the creators intend. I don't like that he said to also set XDR to high. That should be off for SDR content.
I’m thinking of buying this tv in a 65”. Thoughts guys? Currently out of stock however a 55” is available. Thoughts?
Depending on your needs and budget, the X900H is a great option!
@@RTINGSdotcom I usually watch and stream through Netflix, TH-cam, I like to watch movies. In the future hoping to get a PS5. Also wondering, I have a wharfedale vista 200s sound bar which has arc, would I be able to benefit from EARC on the tv? Any news on VRR and ALLM?
@@RTINGSdotcom hi I ended up getting the LG oled CX. I was wondering if out of the box standard mode is fine or do I need to do something to it calibration wise? I am going to use it to watch movies and Netflix etc. Thanks
Local dimming medium to preserve details

Officially its still coming. Offcicially there is no date so who knows when it will come
That seems up in the air... Some say it's cancelled Sony said it's still coming but might not be able too
@stryfetc1 Lol Sony officially said it’s coming sooner or later most likely in February

watch him he is more intellgient
Any plans to do the X950H also? Thanks...
Most settings are the same.
Anyone notice that some content, like Netflix and HBO max, has a lot of judder on panning shots? This is with Cinemotion set to auto and smoothness set to either 1 or 2? It only seems to happen when there is a lot of white on the screen and the backlight can seem to keep up.
same problem here
@@PauloBalboa it's an issue with Sony tvs and some streaming apps. I have a computer connected and tested HBO max from my pc and the motion smoothing works perfect
@@consumetheliving In my tv happens in any content regardless the source. Except if the content have more frames originaly
I have a Samsung q70a, was thinking to replace it with Sony for the judder/stutter issue on panning shots, this saved. Apparently I notice that in cinemas too. But not on mobile phone. Strange as hell!!
Motion??
i was just looking on this tv earlier, i am torn between this for 55 $1100 vs Cx 48 Cx. end up so confused and not buying any
Cx is soo good in 55” it’s $1349 at Best Buy right now
Wait and see if the Sony 65 inch goes on sale for 969 again during best buys superbowl sales.
I don't like the clarity Motion feature, I turn it to minimum, I don't want black frames in my image.
Judder is killing me when i watching blueray..in this tv.for 2yrs now.wich model is or brand is better?
If you have problems with subtitles blooming in dark Scandinavian crime shows while using dolby vision, then turning local dimming to high does the trick. Don't know why it is not automatic though.
Does this model come with CEC settings where if I turn on the tv it would also turn on my PS4 from it being completely off or rest mode?
I’ve been trying to do this on mine but no luck yet, I can only get the PS4 to turn off when the tv turns off
It actually says in text under HDMI 2.1 settings that it runs in 120hz. But you were in HDMI 1 which doesn’t support 120hz. I’d u would have went to HDMI 3 or HDMI 4 which are the two ports that support 120 ha it would have shown in the text !!
yeah i have PS5 in HDMI 3.
Hey I’m having trouble choosing between the Samsung q70t 55in or nanocell85 65in. Both are $899. Which tv is best for next gen console? Thanks 🙏🏽
I have a much easier way to do this. I set up the TV to look great with my Xbox One X / Series X. Then I run all of my content through the Xbox and it always looks great and I never have to touch the TV remote again. In fact I don't even know where the remote is...I haven't seen it since last summer!
Sounds great! Now if I could just get my hands on an Xbox X.😊😊😊
I play call of duty on a enhanced mode HDMI 4... The ps5 is in 4k 120hz when I start the game... Yet when I go to the games 120hz mode it is always locked
