Sony have really outdone themselves with 930E. The HDR is awesome on this TV and blacks are really black. It's as close as you will get to OLED blacks. I bought this TV for gaming first and movie watching second. So if you are a gamer like myself, you will be in for a treat with this TV. Works great for gaming with no lag issues online or offline. I tested a PS4 Pro, Xbox One and Xbox 360 so far with great results. The games I tested have been.....PS4 PRO 4K HDR are, Resogun The Last Of Us, and FFX. In 4k its REZ, and Rise of The Tomb Raider. Using my Denon Receiver to upscale 1080p to 4K offline and online on Xbox One it’s, COD MW and IW, GOW 4, Halo 5 and The Division. Xbox 360 its Outland and Bayonetta. All these games looked great. They were very rich in blacks and color and I had no motion issues. The one thing it all comes down things is having the right settings for gaming. Once you find the correct ones, the tv is a spectacle.
Overall, I’m extremely happy with the 930E and I'm glad I chose it over the 900E. Some may prefer FALD over edge lit, but I think 930E is a great example of a well done Edge Lit display. It may still have some minor issues, but nothing that would stop you from really enjoying any content. If you can afford the extra cash over the 900E, I think you'll be better off with the 930E. Adding some BIAS lighting made a difference on this set too. Oh and the FFX Movie (bundled with the FFX special edition game) looks INSANE on the Animation preset of the TV. I changed some settings on it, but I’ve never seen such great picture quality on digital animation. I was blown away. I felt like I just saw the movie for the first time. Also popped in John Wick and Mad Max: Fury Road and they both looked great upscaled. On top of the, Its HDR future proof with updates coming for Dolby Vision and HLG.
I bought this TV SONY Bravia 43" knowing that SONY always offer the best quality products. This 43" TV was a disappointment. The picture quality completely deteriorates when viewing at an angle. SONY should not continue selling this TV any more.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

This my first Sony HDR tv and I love it I'm very happy movies like beautiful and my games look amazing I recommend this tv to anyone looking for a great HDR tv
My oled when the tv is turned off looks like it has dimples on the screen. Is that normal? And sometimes the viewing channel label just comes on even when not pressed.
