*New for 2019. The top rated Sony XBR-65X950G X950G series is one of Sony’s best 65-inch 4K Ultra HD LED backlit TVs for 2019. The big theme at CES 2019 was High Dynamic Range (HDR), and the Sony X950G Series is a one of the models implementing this technology. HDR allows for brighter more vivid colors that pop, and a wider range from dark to light. 4K TVs have four times the resolution of Full HD (8 megapixels of resolution vs. 2 megapixels for regular HD). 4K is about the same resolution as a movie movie theater, only now you can view it at home.

Smart-Review Commentary: For 2019, Sony’s top rated 65-Inch 4K XBR X900F Series is one of the best LED TVs made by Sony. Sony is going all out on HDR (High Dynamic Range) technology. The latest 4K HDR Processor X1 Ultimate chip makes the colors pop, and the higher dynamic range greatly improves the picture. The X-tended Dynamic Range PRO which is one of our favorite features, allows for increased brightness, which enhances the HDR effect. The X950G series is HDR10, HLG & Dolby Vision compatible. This 4K TV will give you 4 times more pixels than normal HD TVs (8 megapixels of resolution vs. 2 megapixels for regular HD). This allows you to sit much closer to the TV without seeing the individual pixels. By sitting closer, you will have an immersive movie theater experience. Sony has over 10 years of experience with 4K cinema 4K Projectors, as most theaters today have a Sony 4K projector installed. The X950G Series has the latest Dual Band WiFi standards for fast 4K video streaming and Smart TV function, Android TV, a TRILUMINOS Display (Sony’s version of Quantum Dots ) , and Sony’s new X-Motion Clarity to achieve a smooth picture for fast moving action.
The 4K X-Reality Pro engine can upconvert all of your regular HD up to near 4K quality. The new Android TV interface provides internet content such as Netflix®, Amazon Prime, YouTube, Pandora, Facebook, and a browser. You can also install Apps from Google Play. The TV comes with a multi-function Voice Controlled Remote for Smart TV and Web browsing functions. Netflix, Amazon, Dish, DirecTV and others have 4K content available in 2019, and this TV is ready with its built-in HEVC (H.265) decoder. As usual, Sony has produced a very striking and stylish set, along with a very strong feature set. This set has HDMI 2.0a , which will allow the highest frame-rates of 4K video. It is future ready and supports next generation 4K players and services. The 4K HDR really makes a difference, as we have previewed this feature at CES. Quantum Dots, and High Dynamic Range (4K HDR) will provide for best picture quality. Full Array Local Dimming is a premium feature on this TV. The XBR-65X950G is an exceptional 65 inch 4K TV and is not only a Smart-Review top pick, but has won our BEST OF 2019 award.
** The X950G Series has a Full Array Local Dimming backlight.
