The Sony X85J is a mid-range 4k TV in Sony's 2021 lineup. It's a replacement for the Sony X85H that was never released in North America; the closest model we've ...

VRR support after a firmware update. Can remove 24p judder from any source. Low input lag. Excellent black uniformity. Upscales low resolution content well. Great SDR peak brightness. Outstanding contrast. Huge selection of smart apps. Great response...

Direct reflections can be distracting. No local dimming. BGR subpixel layout can cause issues with text. 4k @ 120Hz @ 4:4:4 isn't displayed properly. Some scenes are overbrightened. Image degrades at an angle. Stutters in panning shots.

Great hard/software let down by intrusive adverts

Whilst this is an extreme upgrade to the old TV I had, its features are still excellent and at this current time, a very good price for what you get. Personally, was more focused on the gaming specs for the new generation and it has everything you...
