What reviewers say

What Hi-Fi?’s 65-inch and T3’s 75-inch UK reviews praise colourful HDR pictures, contrast, motion and upscaling. Both recommend better external sound, but T3 hears more body while What Hi-Fi? finds bass and spatial effects limited. Their missing HDMI 2.1 features describe launch software; Sony firmware later added 4K 120 Hz, eARC and VRR.

RTINGS reports blurred text/halved vertical detail in some 4K 120 Hz modes, so signal support does not assert uncompromised full-resolution rendering.

Game features: ALLM after firmware, confirmed by RTINGS’s March 2022 test update and maker’s specified feature list. RTINGS reports that VRR disables local dimming and Dolby Vision; Dolby Vision and 4K 120 Hz require different HDMI modes. No FreeSync or certified G-Sync main entry is assigned.

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.
