After three weeks of enjoyment it is time to write this recommendation. The XBR55X900F was bought as a replacement to a 42” Panasonic plasma monitor. Clarity, color and angle viewing have exceeded all expectations.
Factory settlings on standard picture mode with the light sensor set to optimized throughout the day this new Sony monitor placed within our den and connected to full surround sound provides a fantastic viewing experience.
As the sun begins to set, the time where house lights are not yet on but dark enough in the room that the picture comes to life, is a great time to show off. Netflix movies, ESPN, Discovery all share a really great picture with the local daily news.
The negative is the remote control. If you review the picture quality, the monitor’s simple design, with the wire management stand, you question who put this remote control in the box. The internal speakers are not worth reviewing and should not be considered as an alternative to the sound.
The lack of written documentation both in the box and online did not effect the score but should be offered to help begin to understand there is so much more then just a pretty picture. This Sony monitor is light years ahead of the old plasma, connected via WiFi with internet access through built-in Chrome-cast. I am taking the long road to learn how to interface with my iPhone, iPad and MacBook but enjoying the view along the way.
I would recommend this to a friend!

Hi, Hollowoak, Thanks for sharing your thoughts and experience with your new Bravia TV. We will forward your concerns to the relevant team. Thank you for choosing Sony! -Vincent
I've had mine for about 2 years. Proud to say that with the audio connected to my Bose system I enjoy what I consider the best that I can ever need. With Netflix built in and other "smart" features, I feel that I will never need more entertainment devices. The 55" is perfect for my room. The colors and sharpness are top notch. Just as an aside I still have my old SONY Trinitron that has been made digital and it still works like new.

Hi TerryLB, I understand that your xbr55x900f is having issues with the picture quality. Please try following the steps on the links below:
All I can say is WOW! I have an older Sony 49” (2011)TV that still looks great. But is nowhere near as clear and crisp as the x900F. Watching TV in 4K HDR Dolby vision is incredible! Thanks Sony!

Hi Kratos 1962,
We are glad you love our X900F 4K HDR TV. The TV is packed with an array of technologies to deliver an awe-inspiring 4K HDR picture. With Full Array Local Dimming and our powerful X1 Extreme processor, you get to enjoy deeper black levels, greater contrast, and stunning clarity. And, our TRLUMINOS Display delivers smooth and vibrant colors.
I purchased two 49 inch 900f Sony 4k one month ago. With so many manufacturers and various models available, I based my decision on other reviews I read and taking into consideration my home environment. So far I am thrilled. Color is very accurate and over all, very pleased.

Hi Ahgb,
Thank you for sharing this positive review. We appreciate your time sharing this feedback. Thank you for choosing Sony.
We bought this a month ago to replace an aging Plasma TV. We were blown away by the image quality. You literally feel as if you can reach out and touch whatever is on the screen. After a few days I was able to customize some of the picture settings and it looks even more true to life now. As for watching sports or action movies, it is nearly life like. In fact, I would say that it is the most life like motion I have ever seen from a TV. The google assistant is a bit clunky but it works. Overall, the quality, picture, and motion control are exactly what you would expect from a Sony TV of this caliber.
I would recommend this to a friend!
