I have had this TV in my home office for about a month, and it is a HUGE upgrade from a 10 year TV from another manufacturer.
As always, Althof's does a great job of selling, servicing, and supporting Sony products.

Like a lot of people, I have an older AV receiver. This precludes me from using that receiver as an HDMI hub. Therefore I have to use digital audio out from the TV to my receiver. The problem is that the menu is not clear about relating The speaker/audio system setting with digital output volume.
For the longest time I could not understand why there was no output to my amplifier with the optical cable. It turns out you have to turn the volume up inside that deep menu item (Sound—speakers-digital audio volume) just so that you can control the volume from your amplifier. This could be made much clearer by printing a line in the manual that describes the digital audio volume necessity. Other than that confusion, the set up was simple and the 4K is beautiful.

Hi, Bannonb!
We are glad to hear that you've sorted out the issue you have with the optical output. We'll pass this to the proper team for improvements.
Great TV, until it decided it didn't want to turn on any more. And then after a factory reset it decided it would only play sound for some of the channels/services, and none were what I loaded, and it decided the Sony soundbar wasn't worthy of sound. This went from an awesome TV to suddenly junk, low and behold less that 6 months after the 1 year warranty expired. I was hoping Sony was back, and for a brief while, it was awesome. Now I'm looking at either an expensive repair or having to just throw the X900F away and start with a new TV. Given complaints I've seen that the inability to power on hits a number of units, looks like my best option unfortunately is to replace the TV. :(
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

Bought this 4K TV when my old flat screen failed. The picture quality is fantastic! Even old DVDs that I made years ago which were acceptable on my old TV now look great! Pass on TVs with software upscale and get this model with the hardware processor.
