SONY 900F VS SONY 900E FOR NEW BUYERS

SONY 900F VS SONY 900E FOR NEW BUYERS

[@R6ex]

Hello! If you see this, kindly advice how I should prioritize my purchase of a 75" TV for movie and gaming - how should these be ranked and why: Sony X900F, Samsung Q70R and TCL C825 miniLED? TCL is the cheapest while the Samsung is the most expensive, though all 3 within a few hundred dollars of each other. Thanks!

[@evans4you]

If your DVD player has Dolby vision can you enjoy the benefit on a tv that doesn't have it like say your 900E or Samsung ?

[@BRIANSTECHTHERAPY]

Sorry Evans dolby vision can only be used if its hardware based on the display. The player itself will not let you force it . Thank you for your question and for watching the video and channel

[@Swatsrong30]

I hope you still answer here. I have a 65" x900f. Would like to know what your settings are for streaming, 4k DVD player and for sports/regular cable TV. I would greatly appreciate it. Also, how much of a difference does it make when it comes to the diifferent 4k HDMI cables. Hope to hear from you.

[@BRIANSTECHTHERAPY]

Hello my friend! There are several vids on my settings for the 900 series but typically i would use cinemapro and home amd set one up for clean content and set the other for more dramatic but grainy content doesn't matter which. What I mean is have your bells and whistles enabled for that content such as motion and dynamic contrast for tye cleaner content and have that stuff disabled for the rougher image. Also hdmi cables for me only matter as far as their bandwidth. 4k 60fps 18mps as long as you have that i wouldn't spend alot of money on them. Hope this helps and thank you for your question and for watching the video and channel

[@daniel600x1]

I'm a big fan of your channel. Couple of years ago I got the 900E 65" and now I want the 900F in 85" especially that they go for around $3000. Is it worth it or should I wait? Price is great right now and for me is strictly watching movies. Would you recommend the extra warranty from Best buy or not?. Thanks bro 🙏

[@BRIANSTECHTHERAPY]

Thank you Daniel! The 900f is an excellent choice and definitely worth it especially at that size . The 950g is a bit better so it might be worth waiting for it to drop . The difference is a slightly better picture and better Dolby vision implementation. If not the 900f is more than good enough.

hows it going man? I was just wondering if you'd maybe show off some games with x900f? I'm thinking about buying this on Black Friday. I was gonna buy the x930e but I hear the motions' not that great on it. Especially when I plan to use my new tv specifically for gaming.

[@balkenkreuz2063]

Thank you for posting this video. I'm on the market for a new TV and thanks to Quantum's reviews I wanted to buy the 900E. Unfortunately back then they were sold out everywhere. Time passed and new models came out. Long story short, I found the 65" 900e for $1300, the 900f for $1400, and the 950g for $1600... Should I still get the legendary E model or should I go for a newer model? I honestly feel biased thanks to Quantum's reviews, lol.

[@BRIANSTECHTHERAPY]

Thank you for your question and sorry for the delay. I love my 900e however it is an oleder led and has an older chip. The others 900f and 950g are incremental upgrades however they are still upgrades worth Buying such as Dolby vision which has better implementation on the 950g over the 900f and both have the upgraded chip. So while I love my 900e i would go 950g , 900f and then the legendary 900e. Hope this helps and thank you for your question and for watching the video and channel

[@balkenkreuz2063]

@@BRIANSTECHTHERAPY It does help. I like watching independent reviews because they tend to be less biased and/or they aren't afraid to tell it as it is and call out bs when they see it.

More thumbs up. I haven't watched the channel too much since getting the 900e, but...my buddy just got the 900f and of course now I want to compare. Nice cut. I'd be tempted on the 85" now. You can sit 8 feet from a 75" and be fine with 4k.

Hi Dirk ! The Z9d is better in terms of pic quality but has inferior motion. If you game at all the 900f if it's for movies only then the z9d is king . Hope this helps and thank you for your question and for watching the video

[@doclee9732]

Need to replace my 2011 Samsung Plasma PN59D550, do you recommend the Sony 900F or should I get the LG OLED C8 instead??

[@BRIANSTECHTHERAPY]

Doc, that is an amazing question and made even more interesting by the fact that your Samsung plasma is one of the brightest ever made. That said i really can only recommend the oled to you at this time as it is a natural progression from your plasma only deeper and brighter the 900f is excellent however you will experience some blooming which is something that will be alien to you coming from plamsa. In order for me to recommend an led to a plamsa user you'd have to move up to a flagship Z9d , or Z9f as their blacks are a little closer to what you are used to. All this is assuming you enjoyed your plasma. Hope this helps and thank you so much for your question and for watching the video and channel

[@nataflet]

On my 65x930e, downgraded netflix to 2 screen plan just to get rid of DV, tried medium from netflix settings, it maxed out at 720p and DV was off, tried to limit bandwidth from my router to not trigger DV, but no chance. So I needed to restart netflix app everytime I wanted to watch a DV movie in 720p. Now on 2 screen plan, everything runs at 1080p and still look stunning and every movie/show is full brightness, I don't want pop only from the light bulbs and lackluster colors.

[@NickOnPar]

Which would you recommend the 75 inch Q6FN for $1999 or the 75 inch X900F for $2800?

[@BRIANSTECHTHERAPY]

To me the 900f is a much better display and competes directly with the q8fn so its actually much cheaper. The 900f is my pick vs the q6 or q7 . Hope this helps Nick

[@EtherMagic]

@@BRIANSTECHTHERAPY ... This comment is a joke dude. I had the the 65" Q8FN and now have the 75" Q6FN and also spent time with the X900F, had a chance to get that aswel and i passed after my initial time with it. The only things the X900F does better then the Q6 is in contrast, local dimming and is a tad brighter. The Q6 smashes the X900F in game response time, better black uniformity, less distortion, better Motion Interpolation (21ms of the Q, 80.3ms on 900f), much better overall input times, better color gamut, better color volume, has Freesync for games, and has a much better OS. It really is a toss up, if your a gamer go with the Q6 (EVERY professional reviewer states this, it's the best gaming TV of 2018), if your more of a movie watcher go for the X900F. But to say the X900F is worth $800 more then the Q6 is ridiculous, considering their MSRP price is basically the same and reasons listed above. Only reason i traded in my Q8FN was for the bigger screen of the Q6 for around the same price. BTW the Q8FN is better then the X900F, if you want to compare then compare it with the Q6/Q7, not the Q8, the Q8 is in a league of its own, i have NEVER seen OLED quality images on a FALD until owning that TV! The only site i have seen that claim the X900F is close to the Q8 is RTINGS. The color gamut, black levels and contrast on the Q8 SMOKES the X900F. The X930E is more comparible to the Q8FN of this year, that TV was/is amazing. Sony dropped the ball this year on the 900F, the blooming issues are out of control. BTW the "75 Q6 is back up in price to $2500 (still $500 off), making the X900F $300 more now. I'm a big gamer and the choice is clear in that departement.

[@BRIANSTECHTHERAPY]

Thank you for the great and very informative comment Mikey!! I really appreciate the information from someone who has had the above displays in their own home and I value your opinion and experience.

Thank you so much taking the time to comment and for watching the video and channel

[@NickOnPar]

Mikey Teflo I do game somewhat, but the main use of the TV will be Netflix, Hulu etc and movies. It sounds like overall you’d still prefer the 75”inch q6 over the X900F. I bought both and am testing them side by side in December. 65” on the X900F though

[@EtherMagic]

@@NickOnPar ... For UHD movies go with the X900F, gaming the Q6FN. Which ever one you do more. Movies in UHD are going to pop more on the X900f due to the higher HDR brightness, in SDR the Q6 is actually a bit brighter. Like i said, each has their strengths and weeknesses. Let me know how it goes.

Thank you for your question and for watching the video!! The 900e is fantastic and I use it primarily for gaming however the 900f has a lower input lag ( though I haven't found the 900e lag to be an issue) the 900f has very similar pic qaulity. The 940E has better pic quality however is absolutely terrible as it has a painfully slow pixel response which results in a very heavy motion blur which I found unplayable. So 900e if you can find it and 900f as it is more readily available. Hope this helps and thank you again for watching the video and channel

Would you help me pick between 55Q7FN or the 55X900F (which is $300 more expensive).. Thanks!

[@BRIANSTECHTHERAPY]

Ofcourse! Thank you for you question amd for watching the video. The choice is easier when comparing the 900f to the Q7 , the Q8 competes directly with the 900f and is much more of a difficult choice. The 900f is full array and the q7 is edge lit which is the main difference. Full array is for better blacks , less blooming and a better picture overall. The 900f also has both Hdr10 and dolby vision the q7 has only hdr10. The 900f is also better in just about every aspect amd is definitely worth the difference in price. Hope this helps and thank you for your question and for watching the video and channel

[@yaroslavchernyshov3725]

i have a 65 q8fn. Amazing colors and contrast but i dont like the motion on it. It has terrible banding and some flash lighting. Do you think that 900f would have that much better motion. I bought my tv for 1600 which is the same price as 65 900f.

[@BRIANSTECHTHERAPY]

The 900f has better motion and different motion, what I mean is the Samsung just has a very different feel when it comes to motion , not right or wrong just different. It shouldn't have flashlighting or banding. I would try another q8fn but if the motion really bugs you grab the SONY 900f.

I'm pretty well set on getting a 75". Would like to hear your thoughts on the Vizio 2018 P series at $1,000+ less than the X900F if you feel inclined. I know the Sony is the "better" set but the 75" Vizio at $2200 has put it under consideration.

[@BRIANSTECHTHERAPY]

The Vizio is a very solid choice !! It's also very well equipped and has even more features than the 900E the only drawback is the picture lacks vibrance and pop which also effects HDR.

[@Mind_of_MATT]

The Sony is around 200 nits brighter SDR & 300 nits brighter HDR (real scene measurements). Unclear how big the gap in difference is here & how much impact would be lost from x900f to P series. Still considering these sets. Thanks for letting me shoot questions, for your answers & videos.

[@BRIANSTECHTHERAPY]

That is actually a large amount when its low , what I mean is if the 900E is 900 and another TV is 1200 it's not as jarring but when one is 5 or 600nits and one is 900 its night and day. The vizio is fine I just found it to be kind of dull

[@BRIANSTECHTHERAPY]

😂😂😂hypocrisy is something we all share my friend!! The only issue I have with this stand is having the feed sooooo far apart that you may need to hang it if you get a larger size where the 900E had a simple narrow but solid base. Thank you for the comment my friend and for the laugh about hypocrisy 😅

Solution is simple. Put that TV on the wall and throw stand to bin. Problem solved.

[@phillydavison]

I moved my XE900E to the bedroom and have the newly bought XF9005 in the living room. XF just does what you would expect with it performing a little better than the XE in contrast, dimming, peak brightness with motion being the standout difference because I love the X motion clarity. XF does bloom a little more only on HDR because of the higher peak brightness but it's not terrible. I'd stick with the XF over this years Sony's XG's because frankly I feel Sony is now holding back its LED TV's to force OLED on consumers and this years model is pretty much a XF clone which in some areas performs a little worse than the XF.

[@BRIANSTECHTHERAPY]

Very well said Philly and truthfully its about the same difference as your e to f in regards to being brighter but also getting a bit more blooming with it as well. Great comment and comparison! Thank you Philly!

Hey whisper, try my luck that you may still be answering questions here, though you and rage 5606 just about summed it up for me already. I just returned a Q70 82 inch I had for 27 days (30 day return policy) The main reason was the motion handling, it was really horrible for a $3000 2019 tv, I too am still watching 73” Mitsubishi DLP, 3-4 year old bulb going dim (new one here tomorrow) but because I’ve been watching this one for almost ten years that with a new bulb looks great and handles motion better than the Q70 but the Q70’s beautiful crisp picture I’ve experienced and got a taste and am now addicted, I am also this year waiting for Black Friday, this tv seems to be beckoning for my acceptance but I don’t want to have to go through the awful goodbyes and return headache again, I really want to upgrade pic and size and my question is, Nearly a year later have you heard more or had any experience with the 900f 85 inch in regards to uniformity and blooming and your thought on screen lottery for that size and durability🤞

[@BRIANSTECHTHERAPY]

Hello my friend! Great question and its actually an easy answer, you'll see much more improvement with the 900f and not just in motion but in overall picture quality in regards to black level, peak brightness as well as dolby vision HDR. The 900f would be in competition with the Q80 which is a huge step above the q70r. I think you'll be very pleased as you'll have the size but the pic quality as well. Hope this helps and thank you for your question and for watching the video and channel

[@guitarplayer4429]

Hey thanx so much for your time. You know I wouldn’t trust the Q80 or 90 at this point with motion, if you haven’t had a chance to see the 70 playing HD content, (I use ATT uverse HD) don’t pass up an opportunity if you get one just so you see this it sucks, watching my DLP with a dull bulb now and comparing the motion, there is no comparison DLP hands down handles motion better and that is sad to me, I can handle some blooming if I’ve got a good pic and color. Again thanx for your time.

[@kriswiegand3533]

Good vid B. Here are my thoughts, if I am not mistaken, one of the big issues with Dolby Vision on the Sony sets (at least 2017) is that it was not compatible with the HDMI inputs; ergo it does not work with blue-ray players, only streaming. I was unaware that they had fixed this issue and had heard it was the same on 2018 models as well. Do you have any information? As you know I have he same set as you and one of the reasons I went with the 75900e is cause they screwed the Dolby Vision up for the 930&40...🤔

[@BRIANSTECHTHERAPY]

I believe the Dolby vision was app only initially and I believe was patched to work with players however it was up to each manufacturer to allow the update to work on specific players.

First of all Happy New Year, all the best in 2019 to anyone reading this:)!!! We are buying a new 75" 4K TV in next few days and are looking for some feedback. Currently we are using a 2013 Sharp 1080P 70LE757U LED 2 240 Aqua Motion 120hz.The Sony XBR900F is past what we are willing to spend so we are considering the XBR850F or Samsung NU8000. Being in Canada we have locked in pricing for a Samsung NU8000 or Sony XBR850, @ $2350. The XBR900F at $3499 is past my budgetbut the top pick for us but we found a 2017 XBR900E available at $2999, $650 more than the 2 main picks w the Samsung getting the nod. Wondering if it is really worth it for the 2017 set vs the other 2 options at $650. Mixed usage is primary use with sports second and then netflix and movies upconverted but no true 4K streaming yet. The room offers light but I don't have to worry about glare and we enjoy watching movies in a darker enviroment. No real serious off angle viewing. The 900E is still better then the NU8000 but if one cant get the 900F is it more worthwhile to save the $650 for the slight advantage the 900E has over the NU8000 or is the 900E the better long term buy for say the next 5-6yrs?

[@BRIANSTECHTHERAPY]

Thank you for your question my friend!! The challenge and the big difference from the SONY amd Samsung you mentioned is local dimming being edge lit vs the 900e and f full array. I wouldn't purchase an edge lit led as blooming ,edge lit bleed amd flashlighting is unavoidable. If I had to choose I'd get the Sony 850 but if rather see you get the full array for the extra 650. I hope this helps and please let me know how it goes

I know you will laugh, but I’m moving up from a 73 inch DLP. I’m looking to go BIG with the 85 inch. Want to make sure it performs. I have waited a very very long time to upgrade. Please tell me I won’t have buyer remorse? It will go on the wall, and adding a Sony 4K Blu-ray as well. I’m leaning toward this instead of OLED. Can’t find any 85 inch reviews. I’m worried but excited!

[@BRIANSTECHTHERAPY]

I would never laugh my friend as being a former dlp owner I can certainly appreciate were you are coming from. You are also correct in having to jump in size as a 75" 4k screen will in fact be smaller than your 73" screen when you account for bezel and framing of the display so I think you'd be very disappointed with a 75" size. With 85" there is very little to choose from. There are lots of mid range displays from All the manufacturers . The only higher end larger size display is the Sony 900f that I would trust in regards to performance and pic quality however I'm not sure of your budget. Rtings tends to have reviews of lots of these mid display you just have to go down to the pricing which will also reveal the size options as well. Just be mindful of edgelit displays at that size are trouble and also HDR performance tends to be underwhelming though it has it in the specs. In terms of comparing 4k to a dlp I feel just the peak brightness and sharp image will make you like you made the eight decision as I always found dlp while very nice to be warm but soft without having the blacks of a plasma. Good luck and please let me know what you decide. I'll check out some options. While you look as well and I'll leave them here. Thank you for your question and for watching the video and channel

Whisper Status 74 Thanks. I am pushing for the 85” 900F. You are right on about the display size. If I don’t go with the 85” I will be losing the feel of size and theatre experience. I can get the 85” for $4900 right now. Silly money, but I saved for it over the years. I first considered the 77” LG OLED, but it’s toooo pricy taking away all I have budgeted for cables, 4K blu-ray upgrade, mount, installation, and extended warranty. I also have a bright room, big windows, so I need the brightness. When I darken the room or play a movie at night, I’m hoping to use a different mode that will be appropriate for the dark room viewing. I got to see the 85” and the 77” OLED on display at Best Buy. My wife stays home and the tv is on a lot. Burn in concerns is a big issue and the brightness as I mentioned. Really love what the OLED offers in performance but I can’t have both. I just with I could see the 85” demo other than just the 4K/8K video at the store. My concern is that regulate cable tv programming will just look horrible as the low res, even 720P with just be magnified and be garbage. My DLP hid this well over the years, but I must move on. Can’t keep waiting for the bigger better deal. I fear that the 85” choices may go away so I need to act now. So, if I can afford it do you say “ go for it” and “good choice” on the 85” Sony 900F purchase? Thank for your input and response.

[@BRIANSTECHTHERAPY]

I think the 900f is an excellent choice and perhaps your only quality choice. The 77" oled while gorgeous will still be to small and oleds tend to look poor with regular cable channels. The 900E the one you see on the whisper status channel Is a 75" 900E and is amazing and the best display I have ever known and if had the best of the best In terms of quality and price and the 900E does everything great and has no weaknesses and the 900f is slightly better but has Dolby vision and comes in 85" . So in order to see the 900f all you have to so is watch my 900E videos and know yours will look even better 😁 good luck and please let me know if you need any help and how it goes! Thank you again for watching the video and channel

[@iansteventon4221]

A tad more blooming in the 900f compared to the 900e on my demo, may have been the settings in store but it's worth checking out if you are susceptible to such things. Really don't know why some tvs have such large pedestals,its an own goal from them as many folk have expensive av racks or are unwilling to wall mount. Like my 900e more and more as time goes on, great advice from this site. If I could go for a 85 inch 900f without my wife fileing for divorce I'd be all over it! Decisions, decisions 😂

[@BRIANSTECHTHERAPY]

The struggle is real my friend!! Like you I appreciate my 900E more and more each day

Whisper, Is Sony X930E black level much way deeper & Its colour more punch & Saturated Than Sony X900F, Have you seen Both TVs side by side

[@Beamber]

soka RIKA The 930e is better in pretty much every respect

[@BRIANSTECHTHERAPY]

I wouldnt say the black level is noticeably better . Though edge lit its multilayered backlight helps it blacks however the challenge with the 930E is finding a good panel as most are defective. Blacks don't matter much you have glowing edges and edge lit bleed. I no longer recommend the 930E due to it's high failure rate.

[@Beamber]

Whisper Status 74 Most are defective? What data are you basing this on?

[@BRIANSTECHTHERAPY]

Beamber the 930E is easily the display I'm contacted about in regards to edge lit problems , flashlighting on KZbin Instagram and Facebook. Subs to the channel have sent me hundreds of pics of their 930e's that they have had to send back. My Samsung ks9000 was the same way and I had 4 of those . I feel the edge lit mixed with the thin bezel and amazing peak brightness can cause issues of the panel isn't perfect. When it's perfect Its an amazing display and I've recommended it all through 2017. It could manufacturers it could be shipping but either way it's an issue . I'm glad you have a good one

[@ericthompson8748]

I had a 930E and I’ve seen the panels have great black levels, unfortunately mine did not so I sold it and finally got a Z9D after the price drop. Panel lottery sucks but if you can get a 930E that doesn’t suffer from the panel lottery, man, you easily got one of the best edge lit displays ever made.

[@S550GT]

What’s the input lag on both?

[@BRIANSTECHTHERAPY]

I believe its 24ms for 4k and 1080p which is lower than the 900e.

[@mohammedalsubih230]

Thank you so much for this video, that's all the details i needed.

[@BRIANSTECHTHERAPY]

My absolute pleasure Mohammed!! Please let me know what you think if you decide to pick up the display! Thank you for your comment and for watching the video and channel

[@mohammedalsubih230]

​@@BRIANSTECHTHERAPYThis week I bought the X900F 55 inch, I'm very happy with it, it's even better than what i expected it to be, especially for gaming.

[@BRIANSTECHTHERAPY]

So happy to hear it my friend! Enjoy it

[@jaykees5424]

Ah, long wait is over! Black friday is here and I hope that X900F (XF9005) will be in good price. Now it's 1499€ and hopefully slight price drop at friday. :) I have money ready!

[@guitarplayer4429]

Hey jay I am waiting for Black Friday this year, I was just wondering if you got a deal on the 900f last year and how much did you save on what size tv?? And if so how is the blooming?

[@michaszczepaniak5479]

900f or 940e if I do not play games?

[@BRIANSTECHTHERAPY]

940E !! It's an easy call! It's called the baby Z9d for a reason! Excellent pic quality many zones ,zero blooming and very bright while the 900f is an incremental upgrade over the 900E which I love but having the 940E I can tell you the 940E was a good deal better. Hope this helps and thank you for your question and for watching the video and channel

[@indravatar]

is it 65inch or 75inch ?

[@BRIANSTECHTHERAPY]

This is the 75" 900E

[@andreiclawhammer]

F is clearly better than E because, F has better motion flow, less input lag and Dolby Vision. Even if panel lottery fucks you over and you get slightly worse blacks when "upgrading" from an E to F those well compensate for it.

[@BRIANSTECHTHERAPY]

I feel it is an improvement in most every way. The new chip alone is the biggest change as the Dolby vision ability speaks for itself . However it is still an incremental upgrade in regards to its overall pic quality meaning that if you already have a 900e i dont recommend it however if your a first time buyer the 900f is the easy choice. Thank you for your comment and for watching the video and channel

[@D-NastyNoise]

I disagree. The 900E has better contrast and no black bar blooming. Oh and a nicer stand. Lol

[@kef103]

The 900 f is cheaper because it’s not made as well . I’m screwed .

[@SteveSmith-cm1hx]

Yet another Excellent video. Keep it going Whisper!

[@BRIANSTECHTHERAPY]

STEVE!!! my boy is running through the vids!! Thank you mu friend!!

[@Mega0003000]

thanks. since the 930E & 900E are discontinued, I'll go for the 55'' 900F

[@BRIANSTECHTHERAPY]

Great pick!! Let me know how you like it!!

[@Mega0003000]

I've been toying around with my 900F for a few hours now. It's beautiful! One question however: Is it better to stream 4K movies or have a physical disc? Which will give me better image quality

[@BRIANSTECHTHERAPY]

It will always look better on a 4k BLURAY disc due to compression however streaming is obviously more convenient. Good luck and check out the channel for some settings.

[@Mega0003000]

Whisper Status 74 thanks !! I will

[@woofaki5550]

Here they E model is more expensive than the new one lol The new chip is worth it for Dolby vision too.

[@BRIANSTECHTHERAPY]

The 900e may cost more as the inventory dwindles. The z9d cost more than the z9d. I agree the 900f is the better choice for the chip alone. Great comment

[@user-pt9rc4rb8z]

At this present day of 08/27/2018 a 65" sony 900E is $1648 and the Sony 900F is $1798. The sony 900E 55" is going for $1100 and the sony 900F 55" is $1298.

[@BRIANSTECHTHERAPY]

What is amazing about that Jesse is how well the 900E has held its value!! I was also looking at this today as Amazon sent me a sale alert for the 900f. Thank you so much for taking the time to give us this information. Great job!

[@user-pt9rc4rb8z]

You're welcome I've had my eye on the Sony 900E since it came out but, I was hoping for black friday price breaks that never happened instead, it went up due to it's popularity lol

[@BRIANSTECHTHERAPY]

In that case i would go with the newer 900f as the dolby vision capabilities and newer cheap is more than worth that price difference

[@user-pt9rc4rb8z]

the 900F would be for my dark living room so motion has to be excellent for sports, fast action scenes, a ninetendo switch will be hooked up in the living room. my receiver is a denon but doesn't have dolby vision capabilites but it does have HDR,HLG and dolby atmos and DTS-X only but all imputs are HDCP 2.2 and $k capable

[@BRIANSTECHTHERAPY]

You could still get dolby vision through your 4k bluray player if it has it . Use the 2nd hdmi which is audio only and split the signal thus avoiding pass thru.

[@luisjarama5194]

is it tru that the 900E is better then 900F

[@BRIANSTECHTHERAPY]

I have the 900e Luis and I love it! That said I believe the 900f is a smidge better, primarily because of the higher end extreme chip which also includes Dolby vision. If you can still find the 900e for cheap you cant go wrong but the 900f is a very slight upgrade

[@damirjalali]

Your comments are extremely confusing. I have no ideas most of the time which one U R talking about.

[@BRIANSTECHTHERAPY]

Hmmm ok? What questions do you have by friend?

[@kef103]

Really upset with Sony my 75 900e broke and had a dead line through the display they gave me a 900 f under warranty and the picture sucks compared to the 900 e

[@BRIANSTECHTHERAPY]

Again sorry to hear that Kef. The inventory on the 75" 900E is depleted which is why the 900f was sent to you . The 900f should be a slight improvement. Can you tell what you are disliking about it?

[@kef103]

@@BRIANSTECHTHERAPY it wasn't

[@kef103]

Whisper Status 74 rediculous backlight bleeding on any black background regardless of setting. Terrible blooming as well .

[@BRIANSTECHTHERAPY]

@@kef103 I will tell that if your seeing really bright corners on menus of both movies such as NETFLIX and gaming the 900f and newer Sony displays seem to shut off local dimming entirely until the content is playing which is different than the 900e so that could be part of what your seeing. As for content the blooming should actually be slightly less. Is it mostly apparent in menus or when searching?

[@kef103]

Whisper Status 74 so you think I should stay with a 900f or go to the 940e no cost to either
