Sony X900F 85" (XBR85X900F) vs Sony X930E 55" (XBR55X930E)

The overall picture quality of the Sony X900F is on par with what the best, high-end TVs in its price range offer. The X900F offers excellent performance when it comes to both bright and dark scenes thanks to its ability to recreate bright and vivid colors as well as some deep blacks.

The Sony X900F does an excellent job of reproducing smooth and fluid motion thanks to its advanced flickering capabilities. The panel can flicker at the rate of 720 Hz which can eliminate motion blur. Only a few panels in this price range can flash that fast, which is good, as the majority of viewers will not notice such fast flickering.

Additionally, unlike the overwhelming majority of TVs present in this price range, the X900F can perform local flickering which ensures that the flickering doesn't take its toll on the overall brightness. Worth noting that the regular flickering of an LED panel reduces its brightness by about a half which can de-saturate some highlights and degrade the image.

Excellent picture quality, well-handled motion blur, and decent color uniformity make the Sony X930E a solid option for sports fans.

First, the Sony X930E manages to keep its motion blur low due to its fast panel that needs around 12.7 milliseconds to make its pixels change their color completely. This rapid pixel response time ensures that you will not see artificial trails on fast-moving objects on your screen.

Regarding the color uniformity, the Sony X930E performs better than its main competitors, including the VIZIO P-series. Color uniformity is important because it reflects how well the TV can display large objects of uniform color, like football or hockey fields.

Unlike many OLED TVs, the Sony X930E does not suffer from any image retention.

Having low input lag and well-handled motion blur, the Sony X930E is an excellent LED gaming TV for those who aren’t interested in an OLED TV.

The input lag of the X930E is only 25.7 ms, which allows for fast and responsive gameplay as the TV will only need that much time to generate an image from an input signal from a computer or a gaming console.

The X930E handles motion blur because of its highly responsive LED panel. The panel’s full pixel response time is only 12.7 milliseconds, which almost eliminates motion blur since all the pixels of this TV need roughly an 80th of a second to change their color.

This TV has all the bits and pieces needed for watching HDR-enchanted content because of the TV’s wide color gamut support, exceptional peak HDR brightness, and the panel’s decent contrast ratio.

The main interface of the Sony X930E is free of ads. Moreover, the TV has a setting to opt out of personalized ads even in third-party applications.

The X930E has outstanding picture quality regardless if the TV is placed in a bright or a dark room. The X930E outperforms all of its LED competitors because of the TV’s excellent contrast ratio, black uniformity, and exceptional SDR peak brightness.

The TV has the native contrast ratio of 5744:1, which combined with the panel’s good black uniformity allows the TV to reproduce deep and rich dark scenes. Within its price range, few OLED TVs can outperform the X930E in picture quality.

It’s also worth mentioning that this TV does a fantastic job when situated in bright rooms. The sustained peak brightness of this TV is 1436 nits, which is far more than any competitor can offer.

The Sony X930E is an excellent TV to hook up with any current generation console because of the TV’s high native refresh rate at 4K. Furthermore, as the TV’s input lag stays constant regardless if HDR is on or not, it's also suitable for HDR gaming. It is expected that the X930E will be compatible with all the next generation gaming consoles since it’s highly unlikely that those consoles will surpass 4K120 in the near future.
