I rarely comment in a video but my Vincent that was one of the best and clearest comparison I've ever seen. Not just thoughts but actual evidence and explanations. Spot on mate!

[@DNATruLyricist]

I'm glad I have the 900F.. let me tell u, ITS ALWAYS BUTTERY SMOOTH WITH NO JUDDER! INCREDIBLE!

[@FinalBaton]

Never clicked on a video faster. Vincent, I can't tell you just how much I appreciate you doing this comparison. I've just smashed the like button so, so hard. I've linked the review to a gaming forum too.

[@vfam825]

Smashed that button as well

[@stdjao14]

Vincent knows his stuff. Love watching his videos.

[@twosawyers]

I have the 930e and love it! I swear if you’re sitting directly in front of the 930e the black levels are OLED like!

[@monstalova]

He said exactly what everyone on the threads have been saying all along. Slight improvement on the x900f over x900e, but it drops brightness when X motion clarity is applied. If motion isn't important than x900e is basically the same. X930e is just a better display for clarity and brightness, aswell as local dimming and blacks. No surprises really.

[@nataflet]

65x930e day 3 impressions: 1. Just WOW every minute watching it 2. Interface is really fast, everything is smooth, switching from movie/youtube to cable in 1 second. It loads 500 movies from ext HDD in 3 seconds, I can browse through all of them in 3 seconds, 2 seconds to load movie, preview is instant, 1 second to go back, I really don't know how it can get better than this 3. The motion is incredible even if I use medium settings like smoothness on 3, I seen it struggles with top-bottom panning but such scenes are rare, it feels so smooth, is unreal 4. Many settings, I noticed settings are saved by app, I can have youtube video settings and separate netflix video settings 5. Wide viewing angles, this reminded me about a 2014 OLED I had, 80% like OLED, it beat the crap out of previous LG IPS from 2013. Being so bright, it doesn't lose details in many angles. 6. Sound is clean and many settings regarding sound, but I don't care about it, I use a 7.1 system. It didn't require a setup, it loaded instantly with the tv. 7. Too heavy, probably the heaviest TV you can have, heavier by 7kg vs Z9D 8. Panel is angled {upper part is closer to the wall) 9. Upscaling is amazing, I used only cable tv, movies at 720p/1080p and netflix and they look incredible, don't even tested 4k, I need my pants on 10. Remote very easy to use, a con is that is too directional and I can't use it from slight off-axis 11. HDD doesn't turn off with the TV. 12. Turning on TV goes to last app instantly (in 3-4 seconds after pressing power) 13. Switching cable programms is fast, changing volume is smooth with included speakers, a little choppy when used with a receiver 14. Dark sides and darker corners, nothing I worry about 15. I use movies with subtitles, the subtitles are so clean with no blooming or clouding, it's super sharp 16. Power cable of this TV is a joke, no power brick, only 1 meter cable or something, it's like a cheap boombox radio power cable from the 60s, no earth, I know it's enough for 250W but still, the worst part of this TV. I have an alarm clock that has a better cable than this.

I own the X930e. This tv is the most beautiful piece of equipment you could own. It’s better than anything else. The 65 inch is a completely satisfying experience. Every time you watch it you are in for a delight. Immersion into experience is incredible. Beyond words.

[@anandkumarjaggi]

Hi I am confused between the 55'and 65' versions of this TV. I need it for my bedroom where I'll be sitting about 9 to 10 feet from the TV. Would you say that nothing less than 65' inch would do to take palpable benefit from this TV?

[@haileymatthews1777]

@@anandkumarjaggi I have the 65" X930E and sit 8' from it - also in my bedroom (it's perfect). So yeah, if you'll be seated 9 or 10' from it you'll need the 65" for immersive viewing. 55" won't cut it at those distances.

[@ThePegcitydude]

Good vid, I recently upgraded from my Q6F to the x900F and the difference is substantial in favour of the Sony x900F. I'm very impressed with the X900F and I'm glad I watched this video because it shows that the x900f also better than the x900e especially for gaming!.

Great video. Very informative. Thanks for highlighting the frame drop issue with the XE90, I am currently in the process of exchanging that model for the XF90 because of this issue, and I'm really happy that motion is improved on the XF90.

Do you have the juddering issue with the xe90? If yes you also have it when you play video files with your hard disk connect to your tv?

We now have the XE90 and XF90 back in store - we will be leaving Vincent's calibration settings on these TVs, if you would like to purchase one, then please give us a call on the number in the video - of course, we only have one of each, so it will be first come, first served. Thank you, and once again thanks to Vincent for a great shootout video.

Kevin Coskun Dolby Vision works over hdmi. Devices need to be updated to the newer Dolby vision profile that Sony uses. The Apple TV 4K supports Dolby vision with the Sony TVs for example. Other devices have not been updated to my knowledge.

[@corecoskun4688]

ericimi not a big deal for me since the advantages of Dolby vision isn't fully bieng utlizized we need 4000 nits right im pretty sure the only advantage is the sampling

[@Dailyblazer19]

As someone who just bought x900e I'm glad Vincent put this video out. I know the TV I bought wasn't top of it's class, but do note that Vincent had to exaggerate the exposure level of the video and slow down the recording to even show the faults of this X900e model. In my opinion, even though the x900e is a mid-range set; from it's design to it's performance and price, it feels premium. It doesn't support DV, but I've seen it IRL side by side with HDR10 and it didn't blow me away. The HDR performance is good enough and the detail I get when playing on my PS4 Pro is incredible. If you have the money, go for the X930e, but if you don't, then don't sit on the x900e unless you're really need DV support. Now I sit and wait for QA meltdown.

Very interesting video. I am going to buy the X900F tomorrow(75")

[@Ch3tManley]

No one should regret buying the 900e. It was literally the best bang for your buck 4K that could compete with high end models without the high end price. Of course technology improves every year, but the 900e is still an incredible TV that should be shown off! I couldn't find a justification to buy the 930e for nearly $400 more in-store. Even with a retailer's calibration, my eyes couldn't justify that huge price increase.

[@Pe6ek]

You are using the word literally incorrectly.

[@SagaciousFrank]

Thanks for the video Vincent. Really professional and informative. I've already gone with the XF90 (65" version) for a brilliant price of £1399.99 including a 5 year manufacturer's warranty from Sony, but I was still interested in this video comparison all the same. I've had a very quick look, and I'm not certain, but I think the other two are now unavailable to buy brand new anyway?! And since I'm upgrading from a faulty Hisense H65M7000 which I picked up in July 2017 new for an amazing £849.99 (and for which I will be receiving a full refund), I'm sure I won't be disappointed with the XF90 by comparison to what I have now. Thanks again, really professional information and advice. 👍

[@JC-bl9bo]

Well I have the 900E and it looks amazing to me but I guess I don't have the eye of some viewers or critics. The motion on the 900F does sound pretty awesome though.

It really is a great 4k tv. I got an early 900f in the states and I can tell that it's a more premium TV.

[@marketweis]

There's a reason about 7,500 people user reviews garner an overall 4.8 out of 5 rating. It's an all-around great looking TV. Like you said, it looks amazing in your home and that's what counts. And honestly, a more fair comparison to do is the 900e vs TV's from other makers in its price/spec range. This is like comparing a Toyota Corolla to the Camry and Avalon.

[@Rob801]

I’m really glad I found this channel and Vincents reviews! Extremely well presented and informative. Seems like I have been around the block and back again trying to find the best tv/price/size for my needs . Started looking at Lg OLEDs but went by a Best Buy and decided I could “live” without an oled for now for various reasons (price, retention possibility, thought they looked great of course but not worth the extra expenditure). Then i started looking at Lg, vizio, and TCL LEDs and ended up at the Sony’s after seeing some comparisons over at RTINGS... And I’m GLAD I did. I was sure I was going to get the 900F especially after seeing Vincents review full review... Then I saw this shootout and I was very conflicted. Like others have mentioned the 930E wins out slightly in almost every category. I was just about to order one but then I saw his review for the 930E and there was one thing in that review he did not mention in this shoot, out and that is the fact that the 930 has top and bottom lit LED (as opposed to side) and that there can be noticeable blooming when letterboxing. He showed specific examples from The Dark Night with lamps near the top of the frame where you can see the blooming continue up to the edge of the screen. I realize (just like in this video) that the results seen on camera may be exaggerated, but this is something that would drive me nuts if I couldn’t un see it once seen type of thing (since I watch a lot of movies). I’m coming from a Pioneer SC-LX5090 (their last Plasma in the EU)which was my main TV since the day it was released and only sold due to moving back to the states... so am hoping to come as close to that as possible without having to buy an OLED just yet. So, Looks like the 900f is the best choice for me at the moment based on the non oled sets I have researched so far. Now just not sure if I want to buy now or hope it goes on sale for Black Friday.

[@guitarplayer4429]

Did you get the 900f on Black Friday? I am waiting for he same now.

@HDTVTest Hi Vincent, Based on this video, I purchased a XE93 from Richer Sounds Manchester (even though I live in Leeds). Unfortunately the one you calibrated had been sold. I was gutted. Keep up the good work!

[@hdtvtest]

Thanks for supporting Richer Sounds Manchester! :-)

[@Sparks68]

Most informative for TV buying decisions! Was making a choice between the 2017 X930E, 2018 X900F and the newest 2019 X950G, all 55-inch and this covered two of them. If money were no object I'd be buying the X950G. It's $300 USD more than the X930E, and the X900F is $200 more. The price difference between the X900F and X950G is too close, so consideration of the X900F was dropped. This video plus your most recent review on the X950G sold me on the X930E. I've got other priorities for the $300 and it will give me what I'm looking for in watching movies from a mix of NTSC DVD, (2k) Blu-ray and 4k UHD. Nearly all are Blu-ray and will be upscaled. Edit: Just received the X930E this week and set it up. It is *heavy*! In the brown two-layer freight shipping carton it's about 100 lbs. Out of that it's down to about 90 lbs. in just the retail packaging carton. Once set up with stand it's down to 80 lbs. - still noticeably heavier than the newer and most other 55". Also significantly heavier than the 46" 2010 model year KDL-46EX600 Bravia LED it's replacing. I'm impressed with the upscaling from 1080p to 4k, the contrast and the color space. Experimenting with some of the basic picture settings and you are exactly right, it's a light canon if the ambient light setting is turned off and brightness isn't adjusted from default. WOW! Had to dial that down some as it nearly blew me out of the room. Not only is the larger picture a welcome change, the clarity of image and color is dramatic.

[@jangheenelahi9849]

Hi Vincent bought the KD65-XE9305 version best choice after seeing your review and bye the way any chance of doing the picture calibration video 👍

[@profitfever]

Just to clarify that the XE93 isn't just edge lit. It has slim backlight drive plus, which is essentially a four layer edge light system. probably the most advanced one on the market. Most edge lit tv are just single strip and have many less zones.

[@Sanookdi]

Still on the edge, not behind.

[@profitfever]

Yes i said that in my post. But the reason I make this clarification is because the ignorant amongst the Samsung community will claim that having an Edge lit TV is better than a backlit one. When infact this particular arrangements of Edge lit LEDS is not conventional.So yes its Edge lit, but its not simply Edge lit, its more than that.

[@Lawtypes]

Sanookdi did you watch the video. Lol .. That edge is good

[@monstalova]

Sanookdi well it does have a light guiding plate about 2/3rds down the screen which stretches across the whole TV. Plus rows of LEDs on the top and bottom. So I'd say it's more of a hybrid.

Rtings, who I also respect, noted that the 900f BFI is 120hz only as negative but real world results beats test images and specs every time and that swing was very clear and smooth. I'm also thinking that flicker is lessened if you can get a result at a higher frequency.

Thank you Vincent, that was very informative. I had pretty much made up my mind before watching this but now I'm not so sure. Does the X930E support Dolby Vision now or at some point?

Wish best buy had the Sony XE93 in the 55 inch version. Awesome video thumbs up this made my decision I will have the XE93 from Amazon this Saturday!

I was watching this with my 4 year old son sitting next to me. As soon as he heard Paw Patrol he demanded to watch it and I couldn't finish the video.

Thank you for the review. I am looking at purchasing a TV this year and I have it down to the Sony X900F, LG C8, and Samsung Q9FN. Will you be doing a head to head on those anytime soon? I was leaning towards the C8 but then saw a few reviews on the Q9FN and am leaning that way. I really enjoy your videos and your input on the TVs​. All the best.

[@jamestacardi8767]

Thanks for your insight friend! Think I'll get the XF90 but probably later in the year due to finances.

Great video Vincent, I got my 55XE9305 for £80 cheaper and paid £1188 which was amazing deal so I'm over the moon I snapped it up before it disappeared :)

[@photo_art3364]

msh1411 from where did you get such a low price ?

[@p4t1]

I got the 55XE9305 for 995€ on black friday. It was actually a pricing error which they fixed within a couple of hours, but they let me have it for the price. Not bad :)

[@dave3k]

It was an affiliate site that was taken down so the deal is no longer available.

[@dave3k]

That's an amazing price!

[@photo_art3364]

I wondering if we support hdtvtest and order from richer sounds that they can give a good price, I’ve been to my local one but sales team there are bad and have no idea about TVs, they so easily recommend Oleds and how it’s the best The X930 on display didn’t work and I didn’t get a good impression.

[@ESTEMUSIC]

Great video, very helpful! Thx for effort!

[@johnmcknight9988]

Hey Vince, I really appreciate the time and energy you put into your comparisons, and that was super informative. Could you display your top settings for the X930E? I really need your HELP!!! Thanx.

[@j.p.4541]

Fantastic comparison, very informative! Between them which would be the best for Xbox one X gaming?

[@barrywatters7181]

More than happy with my 65 inch XF90

[@javi198130]

Thank you so much for helping me make my mind on what to get. well done!!!

[@JimmyPresley23]

Thank's for the review! Appreciate the advices! I've been aaaall the pandemia watching reviews about TV's... I'm worry about the clouding, bleeding, blooming issues. Are them really horrible with the subtitles? Can you correct it somehow? Are them real issues or you can live with them? Not very much concern about the very deep blacks (only OLED can do that). I doubt if stay with a much normal tv, or pay extra for a full array model. I watch a lot of series, films and old movies (black and white) and also basketball. But I'm not a gamer. I like LG's WebOS and they are a bit cheaper; but Sony might have a better image quality all around. I'm not sure. Right now in Spain these are my options: LG 55'' UM7610 - 450€ (Direct LED) * Sony 55'' XG8096 - 550€ (Direct LED) LG 55'' SM 8200 - 576€ (Edge LED) LG 55'' SM 8600 - 608€ (Edge LED) Worth the extra 250€? Or clouding and bleeding are the same? Sony 55'' XG8596 - 699€ (Edge LED) * LG 55'' SM9010 - 739€ (IPS - FALD) * Sony 55'' XF9005 - 799€ (VA - FALD) What do you think? Thank's!

Vincent, it would be great if you did a video that would address the claims made by some youtubers that oled tvs have blueish whites. Please explain why cameras make oled whites look blue and how it’s the camera limitations that make them look blue not the actual tv itself.

[@MarceloTezza]

When doing the blooming test i would do it much more carefully since they differ in maximum brightness, and mostly peak brightness, the ideal video scenario would be using the "pontual" exposure of the white box on each set instead of maintaining the same camera(exposure) configurations for each, the x900F felt like it was the one with the most blooming, does not matter if the video must be viewed and heard at the same time many people will not understand it or put it out of context.

[@Gril018]

really awesome video. Incredible WELL explained, slowly and easy to understand. Good job there!

[@steeltribe3967]

Great video. thanks for the effort. If you were faced with a choice of the XE90 for $4400 or the XE85 for $4000 would you pay the extra for the 90? The others are well out of my price range.

[@benmiz9742]

Well that was a great review. If you are in to gaming and sports (fast motion) X9000F, for everything else (HDR Movies,TV) the X93E is the way to go.

[@laffinkippah]

Definitely going for the XE93 if I can find it in my area or online, which is starting to look difficult. I just can't get over those silly feet on the XF90.
