I have to say, as sleek as it looks, I didn’t love the stand. I installed the TV on its included feet, which Sony calls a “Premium Blade Stand.” The incredibly minimalist design feet can either position on the extreme sides of the display, or more in the middle for narrow table-tops.

Offered in sizes from 49 to 85 inches, the 950H series is surprisingly affordable for a flagship set, with the 65-inch review model I received retailing for $1699 ( *remembers paying $6500 for 60-inch 9G Pioneer Elite plasma*).

This series also supports DolbyVision and HLG (if that ever becomes a thing), Netflix Calibrated mode, and is IMAX Enhanced certified.

Standing at the top of Sony’s 2020 4K LED lineup (the step-up Z-series is 8K and only offered in the largest sizes), the X950H series is a Full Array LED panel with multiple dimming zones for deep blacks and includes other flagship Sony technologies like the premium X1 Ultimate picture processor, X-Wide Angle technology for improved off-angle viewing, Super Bit-Mapping to reduce banding, and X-tended Dynamic Range PRO for premium contrast. And, truth is, even cheap TVs look pretty darn good showing this content.īut if viewers know what to look for - and you demonstrate the differences - top-tier displays produce noticeably better and more accurate images, and if you have a demanding customer that requires a flagship display for critical viewing, Sony’s new X950H series might be just the ticket. They’ve been living with HD programming for years, and can turn on Netflix, Vudu, Amazon, or Disney+ and stream a massive amount of content in 4K HDR, and they just expect that images will look great. Nowadays, people are much harder to impress. But even still, you’d stop in your tracks at each booth and watch that rattlesnake’s scales stretch and contract as it slithered over the desert because it was so next-level compared to anything you’d seen before. I can still remember the first time I saw an HDTV it was at a CEDIA Expo and almost every booth was showing the same thing ( Texas Wild) because there was so little content. Does any consumer electronics category change more frequently than video? I mean, companies might go years between a speaker refresh, and you can expect a new receiver line-up every couple of years, but it seems like video manufacturers continue upping the ante almost every single year.
