Great find Groovy, Looking for the 65inch. I just might drive to your beautiful state if they debut there first. Again, thanks for the info.

4K Ultra HD,

4K X-Reality Pro

Full Array Local Dimming (FALD)

Motionflow™ XR 960

Triluminos Display : Yes

Deep Black Panel : Yes

X-tended Dynamic Range PRO with 3x brightness range

3D: Active


W950B

Local Dimming

Motionflow™ XR 480

Thanks. So the biggest difference are 1080p versus 4K and FALD versus edge-lit.

p.s. and yeah, the leaked price for the 65" X950B is $8000 - is there a price for the 65" W950B yet?

and faster motion processing capability in the X950B, 240hz refresh vs 120hz refresh. The leaked priced for the W950B is $3,300 for the 65 inch TV.

The faster action rate is a bit meaningless without knowing backlight brightness and if there is any truth the 480Hz number, both sets should have pretty low motion blur, but if the X950 really has 150% the brightness of the W950 that should translate into somewhat better motion blur reduction.


$3300 for a 65" edge-lit set seems a bit much, but I guess it's all relative (to X950 at $8000).

It's actually 2999.

At $2,999 it is the same price you can get the 2013 65 inch Sony S990 set in the US Sony Store. The S990 is a damn good TV but it is a beast.
