I have a QLED, and it's nice. I did more research for my next tv for a vacation home of sorts. After all that research I wish I bought this instead of the QLED. Great contrast and color without all that local dimming blooming. Side by side I like this tv better than the X90K. I basically had to convince myself to believe what my eyes were telling me. The 75 inch is coming next week and I can't wait!
Just picked one up used for 300 43inch in love with it. Spent a lot of time looking at TVs at Best Buy and this was by far the best without getting into OLEDs. And the reliability and no fear of burn in sold me. Why pay 1K for a C1 or C2 when the LEDs are very very close in quality.
Burn in is why i have not purchased the LG C2. Im looking for a 43 inch tv for my desk. Im going to stack two monitors on each side. So 2 on each side with tv in the middle for gaming. Putting it all together over time
Hello, do you know if you can turn the tv on and off using the remote control but without pointing the control at the sony x85k tv?? And another question, does the x85k have two settings called "Display area" and "+1" in the display aspect settings?? That serves to make the image look complete and not with a slight zoom

Hello Noah. I just got this TV as 85'. I was not happy with the picture out of the box. Then, I began searching for a review with settings to help this TV pop. Lo and behold, I found yours. I will now try your settings. I will keep you posted. Thanks

hows the connectivity to wifi? I'm going to exchange my X75K for the X85K and skip the X80K because of the wifi connectivity issues. Loses connection and lags.
I just picked it up today and set it up to my PC for gaming, my only complaint is there is no HDMI cable and you will need to be sure to buy one that handles 120Mz.

great video man! my video output on my ps5 is still on 60hz for some reason, even with 120z output selected on. not sure why. using the hdmi port 4 on the same tv in this video
@@NoahBest I figured it out, my problem was fornite runs 60fps at their main menus only so it confused me. Question tho. My games run 120fps, but when I export to my usb they switch to 60fps. Can I get 120fps export somehow on ps5?
@@NoahBest it’s sick! I thought there was a sheet of plastic covering the screen I just kind of got a little of the corner but then I realized there wasn’t one good thing it was just a little small piece in the corner lol, BEST TV I EVER OWNED!
When I was searching for a new screen originally I was looking at monitors but then I decided if im going to watch tv as well why not get a tv. So I was deciding between the LG OLED and this tv. However I could not justify the price difference most especially with the risk of burn in. So I went with the X85K
If you can fork out the money for the LG OLED then I would recommend doing so long as it has HDMI 2.1 Ports. Just one thing to note is the OLEDs are prone to burn in.
@@NoahBest yes, took me a couple mins to find that. now I'm trying to figure settings for watching movies, Right now I'm watching dune on HBO Max, the lighting seems to be too bright and/or too dark in some scenes. If the movie has Dolby vision should you switch to that or keep it on 4K enhanced. any advise on settings for movies?
1) You have to go into settings to HDMI inputs and select Enhanced (VRR) make sure you use port 3 or 4. 2) Make sure you have and HDMI 2.1 Ultra High Speed cable
How's the upscale going? Like streaming 1080p videos or playing 1080p games like switch, I heard a80j is good at it due to the xr processor or something but not sure about x85k. Thanks a lot
I find upscaling to be quite good however this TV has the X1 processor, and the XR processor is a upscaled version of the X1 processor meaning theoretically, the XR processor should provide a better upscaling however, I have yet to test a TV that has the XR processor, therefore, from what I have tested this TV does an amazing job of upscaling

Just got mine the other day. Pretty pleased overall for what it is. Not the BEST picture quality but that 120, VRR, ALLM etc makes a significant difference to gaming. I have noticed there is a very slight lean backwards when on the stand though... it's only a few degrees but it is somewhat noticeable when you focus on it. The cabinet it's sitting on is higher than the bed I'm sitting on so it might be more noticeable to me because of that. I was just wondering if you've noticed the same on yours whatsoever?
Keep in mind that this TV is 4k/120hz @ 4:2:2. This is fine for consoles, since when set to 4k/120 they can only do 4:2:2. On PC however, it will create blur. It will work fine @ 4k/60hz.

A solid Orange/Amber light means that a timer has been set and is active on the television. Sleep Timer - the TV will turn off after a set amount of time.
Great video. Thanks. Thinking about ordering this tv. I watch most of my content through Apple TV. Can this TV recognize 4k and HDR content from Apple tv and adjust its picture modes automatically?
Yes and it will switch modes automatically. So for example if you are watching a regular video then switch to a Dolby vision movie it will automatically switch the picture mode to Dolby vision.
got this TV today and yesterday i finally got the PS5. Cant figure out why the PS5 reports that VRR is not supported on this TV. I am using the PS5 HDMI cable and am plugged into HDMI 4 on TV. Everything else is supported like HDMI and ALLM.
I'm planning to buy this TV and I have a few questions about this TV 1440p capabilites, I've read it supports 1440p forced resolution 60hz so what does forced resolution means here? is it good as a native 1440p? and other question is even with vrr turned on 60fps is the maximum fps I can get at 1440p right? what are the chances that 1440p 120hz will be supported by an update in this TV?
From what I’ve read currently if you force the resolution to 1440P you will not receive a high refresh rate display. I mean there is always a potential that they will release an update that will allow it. However, at this moment, it looks like there are no plans to have such an update.
I literally have the same tv and ps5 both brand new just bought today and the vrr setting in ps5 keeps saying my tv isn’t compatible?? Am I doing something wrong ??
I have some concerns regarding the X90K : a) What kind of panel does this have ? IPS or VA , noticed US regions have VA panel. b) Does the subtitles on dark videos bloom that bad ? Hope to hear from you soon :)
@@NoahBest Thank you for your reply. Also what about the viewing angles from the sides , are they bad/worst than IPS like people claim VA panels to be ?
Great video dude, I’ve been keeping tabs on this tv, but I also want a tv stand. I was just wondering what stand you have in this video. If you could send me a link, that would be helpful😊
Hey I bought this TV when I want to turn on the HDR mode from my ps5 console it tells me that the resolution drops to 1080p because the connected hdmi is not compatible with 2160p
I bought this TV when I want to turn on the HDR mode from my ps5 console it tells me that the resolution drops to 1080p because the connected hdmi is not compatible with 2160p
You have to first change the hdmi settings in the actual tv setting to vrr mode and ensure your ps5 is plugged into either hdmi port 3 or 4 to achieve 4K and 120hz
Great video, I was curious how does this stack up against the x90j? I want another tv for my Xbox and am wondering if the x85k will be a huge downgrade. Thanks
Thank you! The tv’s are very similar. The x90j provides only minor improvements. Local dimming is one. As well it had a different processor that provides a bit more features but besides that they are very similar!
Ended up getting the a90k. Took a little while of messing with all the settings and watching videos but I finally got it figured out. The image great, dolby vision is best viewed when using the TV as the streaming device and not the ps5, you also need a USB 3.0 to ethernet adapter to bypass the TV capped 97 mbps to get higher speed. The only downside of oled besides possible burn in, is dead pixels. If that happens I will be super bummed.
Can ya buy an official or UNofficial remote WITH NUMBERS to change channels... Or am i screwed up?. Or is the TV so powerful you can go very fast changing channels with the - and + P buttons?
I recently bought one of these for my PS5. It's great so far, but when playing games I've noticed that black parts of the screen sometimes look pixelated or blocky. Is this an HDR issue? Is there a way to fix it? Also, having the HDMI cord plugged into the port that supports ARC won’t negatively affect the sound qaulity if I'm not using a soundbar, right? I mostly use headphones anyway (that work through my console, not the TV), so I would think it would be fine, but I just want to make sure. Also, if you ever have to unplug the HDMI cord for the PS5 and plug it back in, will it configure itself to the console again? Or will it undo those settings? If it's the latter, how do you configure the settings for the console?
I’m not sure about the black pixelation as I have not experienced that. Potentially you can watch an sdr video then a hdr video and compare if it is still there in sdr to see if it’s an hdr issue. No it will not affect quality at all And yes it should configure itself automatically again.
@@NoahBest Thank you for the reply and sorry for the dumb questions! I don't really know a lot about TVs, and it's my first time getting one with so many different features.
I have a slightly older Samsung 4K Tv (from 2019). It doesn't have 120hz and I recently bought a ps5 (May 11) and i'm thinking of selling my samsung for this sony TV.
Yes it works very well! The cinemotion and the motion flow work very well. Setting cinemotion on high without motion flow works well but I set motion flow on 1 with cinemotion on high because of my preference. But overall it works very well. I notice no judder.
@@NoahBest ok thanks! It was either this or the lg c2 for me, but the lg has low brightness and performs badly at 30fps games in game mode so I reckon I'll get the Sony
Only use game mode when gaming to achieve higher frame rates. Not sure on xbox, but I do know on PlayStation when using one it automatically switches you to game mode and locks you out of the other modes.
@@NoahBest thanks and one more question. What do you recommend the color temperature be for gaming? I see you have yours set to expert 1 but I’ve been playing on neutral for a while but just wanted your opinion?
@@ahsanlodhi4773 I think it is a personal preference so if you prefer cooler colours use neutral if you enjoy the colours a little warmer than use expert 1
Please help me bro. I bought this TV and on my PS5 it shows on the system information that I’m in 4k 120hz, all settings are auto and im automatically in game mode on the tv when I plug in my ps5 (which you cannot adjust) and the colors look very faded, not vibrant, the sharpness isn’t there. I’m using the hdmi cable that came with the system and I’m in the 4k 120hz hdmi input. I got a 70 inch vizio that I paid the same amount for and it blows this out of the water. What am I doing wrong?
Great video! I'm having my Sony x85k delivered today. Can't wait to try it out with the PS5. I may be replacing my Hisense TV with it. Hisense has too many issues. I have high hopes for the x85k.
whassup! Thanks for the review. I was going to replace my 1440p ultrawide with an LG C2 OLED for PC/gaming but I think I'm liking this TV better because its not a glossy screen and I don't feel like worrying about burn in or overheating with OLED...and its way cheaper.
@@NoahBest I have an LG OLED B6 and whist it does have amazing picture quality, it has suffered him horrendous burn in, which means I’ll never buy OLED again
Appreciate this review mate! Though i have a question : What is the distance from one leg to the other? From what i have seen i'm afraid that i won't have the distance with my current TV stand sadly.
Problem with this TV (I just baught it) F#cling Sony have DIS-allowed certain file types on USB external drives to be unreadable - my Sony Bravia 2019 read every single file efficiently however the 2022 x85k doesn’t want to open or read certain movie files! Please help ….. Thank you 🙏
I'm running my 4k Panasonic BLU-RAY PLAYER THRU THE HDMI 4 port and the Tonemapping And HDR 10 features make even a fifteen degree side angle view look good - Netflix and Amazon have decent views from the side - The ones that suck are the OTA channels that broadcast in less than HD Quality- side views are horrible- my advice to those who purchase This TV is take the five- hundred you saved and get a Panasonic 820 4K Blu ray player - Also get A 3.0 hard drive for your USB port for extra storage- Its nice knowing you have 250 GB Storage To back your TVs 4GB!!
iknow is late but i found an open box at best buy for 580$+tax CAD with 4years warranty and mint conditions with all accesories and is was the last tv that i was lucky to have it and anywhere was out of stock so i hope is come in good conditions 🙏🙏🙏 watch your video make me excited to try out my first 4k 120hrtz because my tv 1080p 10 years old die !
You must set the hdmi setting in the tv settings to allow the higher refresh rate. As well you must ensure your hdmi cable must be plugged into hdmi 3 or 4 and it must be a hdmi 2.1 cable
GOOD . SIR THE GAMEPLAY U HAVE SHOWED WAS AT PS5 PERFORMANCE MODE OR DEFAULT MODE ? AND IF WE HAVE BOTH HDMI 2.0 AND 2.1 ON TV SO WE CAN ALWAYS CONNECT TO 2.1 ?
Just got one.. disappointed that black scenes light up when you move from 0 to 10 degrees in viewing angle. If you pause a black scene, move a little to the side it just another picture
950$ plus tax is the price for the 55 inch her in Canada wow that’s a lot for a tv plus another 649$ for ps5 plus 100$ for a game plus another 100$ for ps plus card lolol this is insane
I just bought this tv and a 2.1 hdmi and for some reason I cannot get this tv to 120hz. VPR also will not come on, it'll say this tv doesn't support 1440p. Tried changing the hdmi setting to vpr and everything, but im not sure why its not working thinking of returning it
@Noah Best I figured it out. This tv is unable to go into 1440p aka 2k 120hz, but it can go into 4k 120hz only for games that support it. Apex for example isn't 120hz supported at the moment, but the new God of War looks beautiful on which is the main reason I bought it
My grandfather has a X90K and I have not seen any flickering on it. The X90K is not extremely different but it does have some more and welcome features.
Depends on what you’re doing. If you’re gaming the Sony X85K is the better one as it features high refresh rate, g-sync, vrr and low input lag. If you’re simply watching tv on it either one is good
I got this tv after learning a lot about TV's! Lol. was worried a little about buyers remorse, like geez I should have got a different one. Not the case at all, I love this tv and all I got is Xbox one x can't wait try the new PlayStation 5 on it. The one x even looked remarkable on this tv compared to the Vizio I had
I have a QLED, and it's nice. I did more research for my next tv for a vacation home of sorts. After all that research I wish I bought this instead of the QLED. Great contrast and color without all that local dimming blooming. Side by side I like this tv better than the X90K. I basically had to convince myself to believe what my eyes were telling me.

i bought this awesome tv 2 weeks ago and it an amazing, but when I set it on vrr the colors turn gray, do you have a recommendation?
That’s because it switches the tv into game profile which reduces latency and boosts refresh rate
What does having an orange light at the bottom of the unit mean?
A solid Orange/Amber light means that a timer has been set and is active on the television. Sleep Timer - the TV will turn off after a set amount of time.
I have just got this TV in the uk it’s good but am having an issue with blue colour where the black should be like the dark blacks 😢
It could be because this is a va panel, and not a Oled so it will not have perfect blacks
when using this tv for the pc, does g-sync work?
I believe this tv is more suited for consoles. I would just get a monitor that support g-sync if you're primarily playing on PC
Yes exactly
Right now is down to $799 on Amazon

I literally have the same tv and ps5 both brand new just bought today and the vrr setting in ps5 keeps saying my tv isn’t compatible?? Am I doing something wrong ??

Hi all, 85” x85k vs 75” x90k, same price, which one should i choose? Mainly watching movie, sometimes for game.
X90K for sure as it has more features such as local dimming
@@NoahBest Got it, thanks for suggestion bro
Very cool noah
Thank You! Glad you enjoyed it!
When I start a game on ps5 with this tv it turns black for a few seconds and comes back on is that normal?
yes, it is switching to game mode when it does that.
@@NoahBest thank you!
Love my Sony X90J ✌🏻
I have some concerns regarding the X90K :
a) What kind of panel does this have ? IPS or VA , noticed US regions have VA panel.
b) Does the subtitles on dark videos bloom that bad ?
Hope to hear from you soon :)
Hi! From my research the x90k is a VA panel and you do not notice any blooming with subtitles!
@@NoahBest Thank you for your reply. Also what about the viewing angles from the sides , are they bad/worst than IPS like people claim VA panels to be ?
Is it true if you do 120hz quality goes to 1080p
The Quality at 120hz depends on the game. If the game supports 4K @ 120hz then it will be in 4k Quality
Great video dude, I’ve been keeping tabs on this tv, but I also want a tv stand. I was just wondering what stand you have in this video. If you could send me a link, that would be helpful😊
The feet on the bottom of the tv are the ones that come with the tv in the box. Hope that helps
I'm on PC using a RTX 4070 ti will it work on this TV?
Yes it will over HDMI
Hey I bought this TV when I want to turn on the HDR mode from my ps5 console it tells me that the resolution drops to 1080p because the connected hdmi is not compatible with 2160p

What I can do
You have to first change the hdmi settings in the actual tv setting to vrr mode and ensure your ps5 is plugged into either hdmi port 3 or 4 to achieve 4K and 120hz
@@NoahBest that work thanks 🫡
Great video, I was curious how does this stack up against the x90j? I want another tv for my Xbox and am wondering if the x85k will be a huge downgrade. Thanks
Thank you! The tv’s are very similar. The x90j provides only minor improvements. Local dimming is one. As well it had a different processor that provides a bit more features but besides that they are very similar!
@@NoahBest thank you for the quick reply! It’s for a Xbox series x mostly just gaming so I’m sure the 85K will be perfect.
@@raichu9489 glad I could help!
Can you still change brightness on game mode?
Yes you can change the brightness.
Do you know why my tv says it doesn’t support vvr
You must change the hdmi settings in the actual tv settings to allow vrr
@@NoahBest Thanks man! that really helped me out as I just got one.
Ended up getting the a90k.
Took a little while of messing with all the settings and watching videos but I finally got it figured out. The image great, dolby vision is best viewed when using the TV as the streaming device and not the ps5, you also need a USB 3.0 to ethernet adapter to bypass the TV capped 97 mbps to get higher speed. The only downside of oled besides possible burn in, is dead pixels. If that happens I will be super bummed.
I hope all goes well!
I did too. The x1 vs xr made me get the a90k. I really wanted the 85k but I kept hearing it’s not true 4k at 120.
HOW IT IS WITH PS5 ?
Can ya buy an official or UNofficial remote WITH NUMBERS to change channels... Or am i screwed up?. Or is the TV so powerful you can go very fast changing channels with the - and + P buttons?
im not sure what you're asking
This tv can connect to IPhone?
Yes it has AirPlay
I recently bought one of these for my PS5. It's great so far, but when playing games I've noticed that black parts of the screen sometimes look pixelated or blocky. Is this an HDR issue? Is there a way to fix it? Also, having the HDMI cord plugged into the port that supports ARC won’t negatively affect the sound qaulity if I'm not using a soundbar, right? I mostly use headphones anyway (that work through my console, not the TV), so I would think it would be fine, but I just want to make sure.
Also, if you ever have to unplug the HDMI cord for the PS5 and plug it back in, will it configure itself to the console again? Or will it undo those settings? If it's the latter, how do you configure the settings for the console?
I’m not sure about the black pixelation as I have not experienced that. Potentially you can watch an sdr video then a hdr video and compare if it is still there in sdr to see if it’s an hdr issue.
No it will not affect quality at all
And yes it should configure itself automatically again.
@@NoahBest Thank you for the reply and sorry for the dumb questions! I don't really know a lot about TVs, and it's my first time getting one with so many different features.
Great video!! How did you get it to display fps?
Only certain games in the games setting allow it
Why is my VRR off? I tried switching it to automatic and it doesn’t let me. I’m using HDMI 4. Could you please help
Here is my video on how to fix that: th-cam.com/video/reGsgptw38A/w-d-xo.html
I have a slightly older Samsung 4K Tv (from 2019). It doesn't have 120hz and I recently bought a ps5 (May 11) and i'm thinking of selling my samsung for this sony TV.
Sounds like a plan! Hope you enjoy it if you do get it!
I'm watching Dolby vision but when I go to settings it doesn't say Dolby light or Dolby dark, just regular picture mode.
How did you find the de-judder motion interpolation during movies and tv shows? And was fast scenes good?
Yes it works very well! The cinemotion and the motion flow work very well. Setting cinemotion on high without motion flow works well but I set motion flow on 1 with cinemotion on high because of my preference. But overall it works very well. I notice no judder.
@@NoahBest ok thanks! It was either this or the lg c2 for me, but the lg has low brightness and performs badly at 30fps games in game mode so I reckon I'll get the Sony
You said custom or cinema would be best, but what about game mode? Would you also recommend that?
Only use game mode when gaming to achieve higher frame rates. Not sure on xbox, but I do know on PlayStation when using one it automatically switches you to game mode and locks you out of the other modes.
@@NoahBest thanks and one more question. What do you recommend the color temperature be for gaming? I see you have yours set to expert 1 but I’ve been playing on neutral for a while but just wanted your opinion?
@@ahsanlodhi4773 I think it is a personal preference so if you prefer cooler colours use neutral if you enjoy the colours a little warmer than use expert 1
Please help me bro. I bought this TV and on my PS5 it shows on the system information that I’m in 4k 120hz, all settings are auto and im automatically in game mode on the tv when I plug in my ps5 (which you cannot adjust) and the colors look very faded, not vibrant, the sharpness isn’t there. I’m using the hdmi cable that came with the system and I’m in the 4k 120hz hdmi input. I got a 70 inch vizio that I paid the same amount for and it blows this out of the water. What am I doing wrong?
Although it is set to Game you can still adjust other settings to enhance the picture quality.
Make sure the 2.1 VRR setting is enabled and that you're using the HDMI 3 or 4 ports.
Great video! I'm having my Sony x85k delivered today. Can't wait to try it out with the PS5. I may be replacing my Hisense TV with it. Hisense has too many issues. I have high hopes for the x85k.
Thank you! It is an amazing tv and I hope you enjoy it!
Are you happy with 85k?
whassup! Thanks for the review. I was going to replace my 1440p ultrawide with an LG C2 OLED for PC/gaming but I think I'm liking this TV better because its not a glossy screen and I don't feel like worrying about burn in or overheating with OLED...and its way cheaper.
Yes! price and burn in are big factors. this is a great option in my opinion!
@@NoahBest I have an LG OLED B6 and whist it does have amazing picture quality, it has suffered him horrendous burn in, which means I’ll never buy OLED again
How the hell did you get a 1440p TV? You mean a monitor? 🤣🤣🤣
Why when I’m playing Fortnite it randomly cuts out to black screen and then comes back on ?
That is your PS5 changing it's visual settings
Appreciate this review mate! Though i have a question :
What is the distance from one leg to the other? From what i have seen i'm afraid that i won't have the distance with my current TV stand sadly.
Problem with this TV (I just baught it) F#cling Sony have DIS-allowed certain file types on USB external drives to be unreadable - my Sony Bravia 2019 read every single file efficiently however the 2022 x85k doesn’t want to open or read certain movie files!
Please help …..
Thank you 🙏
That is odd. I am not completely sure about that. Maybe try and reach out to sony support.
I'm running my 4k Panasonic BLU-RAY PLAYER THRU THE HDMI 4 port and the Tonemapping
And HDR 10 features make even a fifteen degree side angle view look good - Netflix and Amazon have decent views from the side - The ones that suck are the OTA channels that broadcast in less than HD Quality- side views are horrible- my advice to those who purchase
This TV is take the five- hundred you saved and get a Panasonic 820 4K Blu ray player - Also get
A 3.0 hard drive for your USB port for extra storage- Its nice knowing you have 250 GB Storage
To back your TVs 4GB!!
Great video!
But I have a question,
There are 4 hdmi ports on the TV,
So which port should you plug your ps5 hdmi cable to?
HDMI 3 or 4. They are labeled beside each hdmi port whether they support hdmi 2.1 4k/120hz or not
@@NoahBest thank you
iknow is late but i found an open box at best buy for 580$+tax CAD with 4years warranty and mint conditions with all accesories and is was the last tv that i was lucky to have it and anywhere was out of stock so i hope is come in good conditions 🙏🙏🙏 watch your video make me excited to try out my first 4k 120hrtz because my tv 1080p 10 years old die !
I can’t run 120 hz idk why
You must set the hdmi setting in the tv settings to allow the higher refresh rate. As well you must ensure your hdmi cable must be plugged into hdmi 3 or 4 and it must be a hdmi 2.1 cable
GOOD . SIR THE GAMEPLAY U HAVE SHOWED WAS AT PS5 PERFORMANCE MODE OR DEFAULT MODE ? AND IF WE HAVE BOTH HDMI 2.0 AND 2.1 ON TV SO WE CAN ALWAYS CONNECT TO 2.1 ?
Not sure why but bo3 looks extremely dark on this tv
Nice amigo
Just got one.. disappointed that black scenes light up when you move from 0 to 10 degrees in viewing angle. If you pause a black scene, move a little to the side it just another picture
Yes viewing angles are not the best but if you’re sitting in the center it is an amazing display
I’m going to exchange my Samsung G7 monitor for one of these. The Samsung has horrible light bleed in dark situations I hate it.
This TV is amazing. I’m sure you’ll love it!
@@NoahBest picked it up last night and wow very amazed by it thank you for your review.
950$ plus tax is the price for the 55 inch her in Canada wow that’s a lot for a tv plus another 649$ for ps5 plus 100$ for a game plus another 100$ for ps plus card lolol this is insane
I just bought this tv and a 2.1 hdmi and for some reason I cannot get this tv to 120hz. VPR also will not come on, it'll say this tv doesn't support 1440p. Tried changing the hdmi setting to vpr and everything, but im not sure why its not working thinking of returning it
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
@Noah Best I figured it out. This tv is unable to go into 1440p aka 2k 120hz, but it can go into 4k 120hz only for games that support it. Apex for example isn't 120hz supported at the moment, but the new God of War looks beautiful on which is the main reason I bought it
@@KingCudii17 yes that is true!
I wanna kick my Samsung TV out and bring in a Sony TV.
This tv is a great buy!
This TV is better than the x90k. Very ironic. The x90k flickers
My grandfather has a X90K and I have not seen any flickering on it. The X90K is not extremely different but it does have some more and welcome features.
how to i reduce the x85k latency in gaming
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
@@NoahBest thanks.How can I be sure exactly where this model came?
@@Gundam1854 It comes out of the box with covid. Be afraid! Be very afraid!!! 😱😱😱
@@MobileDecay I thik you are also made in China 😂😂😂 Or at least made in Communism 🤣🤣🤣
Is it better than samsung qled q60b?
Depends on what you’re doing. If you’re gaming the Sony X85K is the better one as it features high refresh rate, g-sync, vrr and low input lag. If you’re simply watching tv on it either one is good
I got this tv after learning a lot about TV's! Lol. was worried a little about buyers remorse, like geez I should have got a different one. Not the case at all, I love this tv and all I got is Xbox one x can't wait try the new PlayStation 5 on it. The one x even looked remarkable on this tv compared to the Vizio I had
I’m glad you enjoy it! It’s amazing!
