Sony X900H Picture settings SDR and HDR

Sony X900H I seen the vignette in the corners where the the corners get a little dark I seen it on youtube videos and users complaing about this?

[@JoeyBeeFit]

@joelster Great video! Thank you so much for it. I just ordered the 85-in, it should be coming in this Saturday. I'm curious as to whether or not you can cast your Android TV directly to this one. so for example if I turned on KZbin on my phone would I be able to cast it to this television and still use my phone independently? I just came from using a Vizio p series that has Chromecast built in so I was able to cast from my cell phone to the TV and then use my cell phone for something else and I'm very curious as to whether I can do that with this or not. Fantastic content! Thank you again for everything.

For HDR i would recommend using Auto Local Dimming on Medium because High really kills a lot of bright Highlights in HDR Content. Also the Medium Setting gives you the Highest Luminance Level in HDR according to Rtings.

[@philliprokkas195]

@@itzMarcMan i keep hearing that LG is the tv to own, i personally bought the x900h 65" when my vizio malfunctioned, the sony actually fell into my lap luckily, i went to best buy looked up refurbished tv's and saw a sony listed for $870. i looked it up saw it was a 2020 and immediately ran to the store, for 5 years i was eyeing sonys and just gave up because i had bought my buddies 4k that was just fine until it wasnt. ended up buying a new one for $970. i dont have a pc to test out 4k 120, or any knowledge about the CX other than what i've heard, all i can say is the price really sold me on the sony being that it was a 5 month old tv discounted 630 bucks. i played with a lot of the sony settings, watched all the videos surrounding it, the tv lives up to the hype for what i have gotten out of it so far. its the tv for me being i wanted to buy an affordable future proofed tv. hopefully it can do what it promises with the software updates coming in the future.

cpu on x900f its slow, blooming is less on x900h because the peak brightness is low on this unit and algorithm of local dimming is better, sony can fix x900f blooming issue and hdr but they dont want, x900f has better contrast, better peak brightness and better color gamut, how can hdr perform better on x900h?????...
