What reviewers say

AVForums praised the 55-inch XG95's accurate SDR colour, remote and build, but found distracting HDR blooming into letterbox bars and intermittent Android and Wi-Fi problems. Expert Reviews praised the 65-inch set's HDR brightness, upscaling, motion and improved input lag, while also noting blooming and narrow viewing angles. Their difference on blooming reflects separate samples and viewing judgements.

Specifications

Display

Panel: LED LCD
Panel detail: Direct LED backlight with full-array local dimming and Triluminos colour. Sony lists X-Wide Angle viewing technology for the 75 and 85-inch UK models only. X-Motion Clarity is processing, not a published native refresh rate.
Resolution: 3840 × 2160 (4K)
HDR formats: HDR10, HLG, Dolby Vision
Peak brightness: Expert Reviews measured 1,100 nits on a 10% HDR window after D65 calibration on its 65-inch UK sample; this is a reviewer measurement, not a Sony series figure.
Picture processing: 4K X-Reality PRO, dual database processing, Object-based Super Resolution, Object-based HDR remaster, X-tended Dynamic Range PRO and X-Motion Clarity.
Motion handling: Sony UK lists X-Motion Clarity but no exact native Hz in the reviewed size sheets. Expert Reviews found strong 24 fps film handling and motion resolution on its 65-inch sample.
Viewing angle: The 55 and 65-inch models lack X-Wide Angle; AVForums and Expert Reviews found contrast degrades off-axis on those sizes. Sony lists viewing-angle enhancement on the 75 and 85-inch models.
