Motion handlingXR OLED MotionX-Motion Clarity. Current Sony firmware adds 4K 120 Hz signal support; the original video-signal table still lists 4K only up to 60 Hz. RTINGS reports blurred text/halved vertical detail in some 4K 120 Hz modes, so signal support does not assert uncompromised full-resolution rendering.

UK model codes are XH9005, with XH9096 for 85-inch; X900H is the North American family name. Maker US 20 April 2020 record offered 65/75-inch pre-orders and planned summer 55/85-inch ordering, not first sale. Maker China’s March/April release says its spring family launched first there, without an exact X9000H sale date; T3 gives only summer 2020. Release remains conservative 2020 after this bounded gap.
