What reviewers say
TechRadar’s 65-inch and Tom’s Guide’s 55-inch tests find bright, colourful pictures, useful local dimming and capable gaming. Both note limited HDMI flexibility. TechRadar is more positive about sound and value; Tom’s Guide hears harshness at louder levels and sees stronger competitors. TechRadar also finds off-axis viewing weaker and calibration worthwhile.

- Speaker detail
- European maker 55/65-inch and UK 85-inch tables list two bass-reflex full-range speakers and two tweeters, 10 W + 10 W + 5 W + 5 W (30 W), Acoustic Multi-Audio and X-Balanced Speaker. Tom’s Guide instead says its US 55/65-inch lacks X-Balanced Speaker; that regional claim is not applied to the UK configuration. Unread 75-inch audio figures are not borrowed.
- Audio features

- Voice assistants
- Voice remote; UK and Ireland X90K tables explicitly say no built-in microphone. The tested US model has a hands-free microphone; UK X93K/X94K variants are distinct. Optional BRAVIA CAM is sold separately.
- Casting
- Chromecast built-in, Apple AirPlay and HomeKit.
- TV tuners
- European twin DVB-T/T2, DVB-C and DVB-S/S2 tuners; analogue and CI+. The US reviews’ ATSC 3.0 tuner is regional.

Design and power
- Size
- Without stand, W × H × D: 55-inch 123.3 × 71.1 × 7.2 cm; 65-inch 145.2 × 83.4 × 7.2 cm; 75-inch 167.5 × 96.2 × 7.3 cm; 85-inch 190.1 × 109.0 × 7.3 cm. With-stand weights respectively 18.5, 24.0, 35.8 and 47.5 kg. Maker UK mounting table independently confirms all no-stand weights.
- Stand
- Three positions: standard, narrow and raised for a soundbar. Standard/narrow foot widths: 55-inch 102.7/42.4 cm; 65-inch 117.4/43.4 cm; 75-inch 136.1/50.9 cm; 85-inch 156.7/60.1 cm. Standard with-stand W × H × D: 55-inch 123.3 × 74.0 × 33.1 cm; 65-inch 145.2 × 86.3 × 33.1 cm; 75-inch 167.5 × 99.2 × 39.8 cm; 85-inch 190.1 × 112.5 × 46.9 cm. Raised heights are 78.0, 90.3, 103.2 and 116.5 cm respectively.
- VESA pattern
- 55/65/75-inch 300 × 300 mm; 85-inch 400 × 400 mm.
- Power use
- European 55-inch published energy consumption 93 kWh per 1000 hours; 65-inch 110 and UK 75-inch 118. European 65-inch standby 0.50 W; network standby 2.00 W over Wi-Fi/LAN or 1.0 W over Bluetooth.
- Colours
- Black bezel and dark-silver Metal Slim Blade Stand.
- In the box
- Table-top stand, voice remote, conventional remote, batteries, power cord and instructions. Release month is the named TechRadar fallback: its exact-model review gives 25 April 2022. Maker Hong Kong’s June release lists later planned July/September availability, which does not establish the earliest sale. UK spec fetches failed; Ireland exact-model specifications fill the bounded gap, with UK 75/85 specifications and mounting table retained. The review’s 77-inch price line conflicts with its own 75-inch size list and maker tables; no 77-inch configuration is added.
