Yes it is. Custom picture setting. Brightness at 10.

Yeah, the Local Dimming is not working properly on your set. Return it. Take a photo of the serial number and make sure your replacement has a serial number that’s not close to yours, or your replacement might be from the same batch.

Good luck!

I am still in the return window, so I will be returning. Thanks for your help.

Anyone using a universal remote that works with the voice search on this tv?

Hows the image retention on the x900e? rtings shows that it has some but what is it like? anyone noticed it before?

None at all. Not even a hint of it.

Not sure what you mean by custom 3. I also am plagued by judder on my blu rays and want to try this but im not sure what it is.

Apologies. I have seen this somewhere in the string, but cannot find it. I have a UBP-X800 and my disc is streaming in 1080p, not 4k. I recall seeing a fix was to toggle a setting. Need some help finding the right control. Yes, I have Enhanced Mode selected. Thanks.

Dumb question...

I just purchased the 75" 900e. There are 4 screws on the back of the TV where the wall mount brackets would go. Can I use these to attach my wall mount brackets or do I need to use the ones that came with the wall mount? I'm not using the "official" Sony wall mount, just a generic one that holds up to 150 lbs.

I wasn't sure if the screws that were already in the back of the TV were supported for the brackets or not.

I know, dumb question, but better safe than sorry for a 75" beast.

Thanks in advance.

<<where the wall mount brackets would go. Can I use these to attach my wall mount brackets or do I need to use the ones that came with the wall mount? >>

No the Sony screws are too short. Use the ones that came with the wall mount. Usually they provide several lengths, be sure to pick the lengrh that has the most thread engagement without bottoming out.

Make sure you have a helper when you mount the TV to the wall bracket <G>,

Thanks,

I saw in the manual something about the screw should be 8mm-12mm past the wall mount bracket into the screw hole. The 12mm screws that came with my wall mount kit looked to be same length as the ones I unscrewed from the back of the TV. Are you sure they are too short? If so, I'll need to pick up screws longer than 12mm.

I think he means motionflow on custom, then smooth on 3

On Blu ray/dvd playback I found that on my Oppo 103 I had the player video output set to 4K/2K and when I switched it to 1080P and let the Sony do the upconversion my picture judder seemed to calm down. Watched a dvd version of new transformers film and with all that insane movement I never noticed the judder and the picture quality was amazing.

REALLY REALLY Dumb question. I just bought an Apple TV to go with this set. I have the HDMI ports set up to Enhanced. However 2 different brands of "Certified Premium" HDMI cables I got from Amazon (Terra Grand) and SecurOMax) wont go above 420. However, my Amazon Basic is giving me 422. Can this TV do 444? If so, what cables do I need to achieve it? Or am I just stupid?

I never did get a response here. That may be because there's no way to get this working, but as it would really come in handy, thought I'd try again.

Mount the wall bracket to the back of the TV, I think you'll find the screws that came with the wall mount are longer than the Sony screws to compensate for the bracket thickness and that you'll get deeper thread engagement. But try the Sony screws if they engage just as deeply you might try them. In my case it wasn't close.

Depends how thick your wall mount is and the washer you use for the screw. They sell metric screws at the Home depot. Get "course" thread which is also known as "standard" thread screws. Do not get "fine" thread.

Just found this thread, and hope you don't mind a non-owner posting.

I've been reading about TVs and there's so much terminology to keep up! There's a lot of talk about Atmos, etc. Is X900E a safe investment at this time, or should I go for something OLED and with Atmos at twice the price, like LG C7 or Sony A1E? I'd rather not have to buy another TV for 3-4 years at least. I've owned my Sony W600B for almost three years now, and I really like it. However, it's only 40", and I want to get something bigger for the living room, probably 55" as that is at the limit of what I can afford right now. I use the TV mainly for watching soccer. Thanks!

PS. Is it worth waiting until Black Friday? I don't usually see Sony TVs getting discounted on past BF threads?

Maybe the problem with mine is the xbox one s not being a dedicated bluray player. After playing around with the motion settings I got motionflow on custom with smoothness on 2 and cinemotion on high. This seems to be a sweet spot for me where the judder and the soap opera effect are minimal enough not to bother me.

I wouldn't buy an OLED yet with the burn in risks. I just wouldn't want that risk in my head. As for Black Friday, you could always purchase now on a CC with price protection and make a claim when prices drop. Good luck.

Dude im in the same boat as you, I have a Sony W600B 48" and i love its color and black levels but am eyeing a 4k, looking at oleds and the 900e. Still debating on the 900e but ive been debating on waiting until next year, I think sonys input lag will come down on 2018 models again but im not sure if im gonna wait.

In the motion settings i used the custom option which lets you adjust the level of smoothness. It made enough of a difference that i wasn't looking for the judder anymore the rest of the movie.

I came from a 55" W700B (had even lower lag than the 600B) and posted my thoughts in post 5505 of this thread if they're helpful. Sounds like your use case is pretty similar to mine and I'm totally happy with the 900E.

Hi all,

I finally picked up the X900E 65" over the weekend. (FYI, there's currently a good sale on the full Sony line at Best Buy in Canada.)

I'm coming from a Panasonic Plasma 50" and a LG Plasma (bedroom), and I'm totally blown away by the image quality. I was expecting much less at this price point. I know it's "just an LCD", and the blacks aren't as inky deep as OLED. I'm also aware that the limited local dimming zones are probably not perfect for real purists running non-real-world calibration tests. For the record, I'm quite difficult to please with all A/V equipment. I'm the type that calibrates my friends & family's TV's & audio systems.

For anyone who is on the fence about this model, has a limited budget, I say ignore the negative nitpicking reviews and go for it. Unless your budget allows you to spend 2x the price for OLED (which has well known drawbacks), this is an excellent tv with probably the best bang for the buck and quality design in my view. After 3 days of non-stop watching, testing, and calibrating, so far, the slightly sluggish responsiveness of the Android platform is my only very minor complaint at this point.

I have the Sony XBR 900E that is connect to the Ethernet via LAN line through my ASUS Router and switch. I also have a desktop computer running Windows 10.
I would like to connect my XBR 900E to my Windows Home Group so I can share my folders on my Desktop computer with my XBR 900E so that I can have a video mp3 on my desktop and then view that video on my XBR 900E.


Is that the best way to view videos that are on my Desktop on my XBR 900E?




Is that possible????


Thanks

I second that advice. There are also issues with OLED that haven't been addressed, or confirmed in long term use, especially with the more affordable models. Unless I just have the money to replace the OLED set in a couple of years, I'd prefer to go with what is arguably the best of the tried and true, which should get me through another few years until OLED prices come down and we know their reliability in prolonged use situations.

It really depends on the bracket. I happen to have a caliper, and the Sony screws that came with the set worked fine, just barely achieving the minimums required by Sony, once through the bracket.

Have you tried double clicking it on the network folder? I did and it's asking me network credentials

I've just had my X900E for a few days so I'm not sure if this is directly possible with the Sony android OS on the tv, but if you install/use Plex or Kodi, you should be able to access and view/listen to media on your network shares by following the set up guides of either of those apps.
