If you’re looking for the best smart TV, definitely check out the Sony X900E. It’s an ultra high definition TV with gorgeous TRILUMINOS Display technology. It’s bundled with the wall mount bracket to make installation a breeze. This is a good selection for one of the best TVs you can buy.

Why We Like It – Sony X900E

The Sony X900E is an LED TV with surprisingly fantastic picture quality. It’s an Android TV with thousands of easily downloadable apps from Google Play. We love incredible image quality and the thin aluminum frame—this TV will look great in any living room.

Pros
  • 4 HDMI & 2 USB ports
  • Android TV with lots of smart TV features
  • Great 120hz refresh rate
Cons
  • Narrow viewing angle
  • Built-in speakers are only okay

Performance/display/resolution/refresh

If you’re looking for an LED TV with high dynamic range and peak brightness, then look no further: the Sony X900E Series has full-array local dimming and boosting technology that has a wide color gamut and gorgeous black levels. The TRILUMINOS display makes the color space gorgeous, for a lifelike picture. It has a high 120hz refresh rate that makes for smooth sports games with little motion blur, and makes video games look awesome with little input lag. It’s compatible with HDR content, but unfortunately doesn’t come with Dolby Vision, which is a downside. It also has a narrow viewing angle, which can make watching in the corners of your living room a challenge. But overall, the Sony X900E has incredible picture quality that’s hard to beat with other LED TVs. Compare its picture quality to the LG 22LJ4540 TV. If you like a large screen like a 65-inch TV, then you should go for one of the best TVs that is featured in our Sony X900E review.

Sound

The Sony XBR X900E has built-in speakers that support Dolby Digital Audio. Amazon users review Sony as having okay sound quality, so you might opt for an external stereo system or sound bar to give you more bass and audio levels.

Smart Features

This Sony TV is a fantastic addition to any smart home. The Sony X900E is an Android TV with smart features built-in; you can download thousands of apps and streaming services from Google Play like: YouTube, Netflix, Amazon Prime Video, Hulu, Pandora and so much more. If you love gaming, it’s compatible with PlayStation Vue, and is also compatible with Google Assistant and Amazon Alexa devices.

Ports/Expandability

This Sony TV has 4 HDMI ports and 2 USB ports for maximum connectivity. Hook up your DVD and Blu Ray player, gaming consoles, cable box, flash drives, and more all at the same time.

Value

The Sony X900E is a fair bit more expensive than other LED TVs like the Samsung Electronics UN32N5300AFXZA 32″ 1080p Smart LED TV. But you definitely get what you pay for. There is a fantastic amount of smart features and the picture quality is much better than other LED TVs. There is an energy saver mode, which can definitely help the electricity bills, and the built-in speakers are a small savings. Comparatively, a 50-inch 1080p TV screen that you can get from Sony is the Sony KDL 50R550A 50 Bravia LED LCD HDTV with 3D.

Sony X900E Wrap Up

For a great HDR TV with a gorgeous LED display, the Sony X900E is definitely right for you. It has one of the best picture qualities on the market, and is the best TV in terms of connectivity and smart features. But if you need something with more bells and whistles, you’ll want to check out the Samsung Q80T QLED.
