Hello, I just bought the 55 X950G and picking up today. I would like to wall mount it , can anyone recommend me a compatible wall mount unit for this TV? It will be my first time doing it. Thank you In advance.

With the recent price drop, I just pulled the trigger on an X950G with HT-Z9F bundle (waiting for delivery from Best Buy). I almost went instead for the LG C9 when I found a Labor Day weekend sale, but chickened out at the last moment due to fear of burn-in and concern that OLED blacks weren't worth the price premium for my living room where there is always some ambient light from the rest of the house, even at night (i.e. lamps, etc.).

Looking forward to it...

I just received my x950g and so far I love it but I am having an issue with the cable box (SA8300HD) not powering off (or on) when I power the tv. I have the auto power on and off boxes checked. Any ideas? Thanks.

Yes it can. I just watched the Avengers End Game the other day. I normally use VLC player. I would suggest bringing your own file and test it. But I’ve never encountered a video file that this TV cannot read.

Good question. I bet it will work since we are talking analogue and not digital. The screen will probably just be black. Just be sure to get the right cable with the correct spacing and order of connections on the plug.

Considering moving from a XBR-70X850B (4K but no HDR) to the XBR-75X950G. For those familiar, what improvements will be most noticeable, and how about sacrifices (such as no more 3D support and perhaps more blooming)? Upgrading from standard Blu-ray to a 4K Blu-ray showed virtually no improvement, but the current 850B does *not* support HDR. Thanks all!

Hi 950G owners!

Would love some advice. I am between the 85" X950G and the 82" Samsung Q80R

Things I like about the Sony:
- Bigger screen size- 85 vs 82- I know it's minor -but maybe noticeable???
- Image processing for 1080p and lower sources
- Future proof features

Things I like about Samsung:
- Colors
- Viewing angle- is it significantly better in reality?
- Lower cost
- New appleTV app built in?

Any advice or persepective would be appreciated!!

Thanks

Sony discontinued 3D TV in 2017.

To note, Sony X950G (2019) 75" has X-Wide Angle which slightly reduces contrast. Sony X900F (2018) 75" does not employ X-Wide Angle, so has slightly better straight-on viewing contrast. Re HDR, both have HDR10 and Dolby Vision. With both TVs, you will see significant improvement for color accuracy and motion. Both are suitable for variably-lit rooms. Good luck, have fun with your choice.

I just got the X950G 55". I have an issue, when I turn on Bluetooth headphones my Wifi bandwidth is significantly decreased and the audio will cut in and out on my headphones. I can see this happen in the Netflix app, when I press the display button on the remote, the bandwidth and resolution is displayed upper left hand corner. When I have Bluetooth disabled, I get 15.2 Mbps streaming bandwidth and 2160p resolution, as soon as I pair my headphones, the bandwidth drops to 4.8 Mbps and 1080p resolution, and the audio will cut in and out in the headphones, when I turn them off it goes right back up. I have the same problem with streaming from YouTube and stuttering audio in my Bluetooth headphones. I have gone through Tier 0 chat support, Tier 1 phone support where he remoted into my TV, the next step has been escalated to Tier 2 which I haven't had time to troubleshoot with yet, maybe tonight. I've tried 2.4Ghz and 5.0Ghz wifi, changing wifi channels, I have a Synology RT2600ac wireless router. I feel like this is a bug with the Wifi & Bluetooth chipset which might be fixed with a firmware update. I was wondering if anyone else has noticed this problem? Or if anyone could confirm that theirs does not do this by using the Netflix app and checking their bandwidth and resolution with BT both on and off? Thanks!

I would also like to know about this. Sadly I don't want to sacrifice extra 3" as I am worried that will look significantly smaller (it's only 7.5% smaller apparently ). I already got a 75" Q70R and really like the contrast and picture quality. But the glare is there and I am feeling greedy enough to return it and buy a 85". Problem is 85" will only make glares worse because of larger screen and I don't see any option to get 85" in Q80R

Just tried this. But no, without video signal the TV simply says that there's no signal on this input. Apparently I'll have to find a source of "dummy" composite video signal to make it work.

Functions are arranged in the following order from the tip of the terminal:

Audio Left (L)
Video
Ground
Audio Right (R)

No offense meant, but are you sure you used the correct cable/adapter? I've seen others have this issue before but they were using a cable with the wrong order of connections. There is no "standard" and sometimes cables have ground at the top, some have it in the middle, etc. The only way to be sure is to look at the manual at the schematic that Sony provides, then ensure you get a cable with the same order of connections.

I like the Sony. Viewing angles should be about the same on both. The Samsung should handle reflections better though, I believe, if that is an issue for you. Also, the 950G is supposed to get a firmware update that will give it AirPlay 2 support.. not sure about the Apple TV app, though. Also consider if DV HDR is important to you. Both are good sets, can't really go wrong. Sony's are said to have more "accurate" colours, but if you prefer the Samsung there, there is nothing wrong with that. I may give the edge to the Samsung for a gamer, whereas the edge goes to the Sony for everything else [movies, sports (motion), tv (upscaling)].

Thanks so much- anyone have an opinion on the relative size difference on an 82 vs 85? Is this noticeable from about 10 feet? Also 82 Q80R Samsung appears to be +- 1k less- don't understand that!

I noticed the size difference because of my greed. Have Samsung EPP and got a great price on Q70R 75 inches. But then noticed how small it looks compared to 85 inches (saw those at Costco). Now don’t want to lose even a single inch. Problem is, my budget has to double to buy a 85” Sony X950G as Samsung doesn’t have 85 for Q80R and I am tired of Q70R reflection problem as I have a very sunny room. So my EPP discount no longer applies
