Image and color are best in class. Software glitches makes this tv worthless. The tv would loose sound on a random bases. T requires a reboot to get the sound back. After 6 months Sony engineering said problem was fixed. The problem came back 2 months later. Senior Sony support said “…engineering knows of the problem but does not have a date to fix this problem….” I rest may case in your judgement if you want to pay for an expensive tv to have software problems.
I bought this TV 19 months ago and it failed after 16 months. Up till the time it failed, I could not have been happier. Very expensive and well-built television but alas the device was defective failing 4 months after the warranty expired. That was disappointing but quite honestly if I could have had the same TV all over again I would without question.
We purchased this as a Christmas present for us. We read glowing reviews on the model and loved the picture in the store. I’ve never hat a TV picture that looked as good in the store as it did when I got it home, this one does. Truly an amazing picture.
I would recommend this to a friend!

Hi Dhall4d, Thank you so much for sharing your great experience with us! We're delighted to hear how much you love the outstanding picture quality of the Z9J TV. Enjoy 8K pictures that feel deep, natural and real. Our revolutionary processor uses human perspective analysis to cross-analyze and optimize hundreds of thousands of elements in the blink of an eye. Combined with the precision of a Full Array LED panel, pictures pop from the screen with deep blacks and ultra-bright light. Thank you for choosing Sony! - Kris
I was first introduced to Z series sets or should I say stepped up to a few years back. My first, was a XBR 65 Z9D. Great T.V. very impressive, loved it. Couldn't beat the picture, so I thought. My daughter has it now and it's still going strong with pristine picture. Wanted to step up to something a little larger, and waited until the Z9J 8k was released and purchased a 75" screen and couldn't be happier. Even though Z9J 8k is lacking Master Backlight Drive Technology which my Z9D had, I don't know what Sony did but the picture on the Z9J is even better. Don't know if it's their new cognitive processing technology, but whatever they did you won't be disappointed with the picture quality. I'm a precise and critical viewer when it comes to my viewing enjoyment, and with each new set I get, look for any flaws that new technology says you won't have. Well with the Z9J 8k I have none found, picture is pristine. It won't disappoint ! Still available today that I've seen and at some attractive pricing. If your looking for a well made 8k television, I think you won't find one any better.

I purchased this tv knowing it was one of the best available. However after watching tv for less than 10 hours total, I turned it on and the pic was blank and it had randomly spaced green pixels on the lower right hand portion of the screen. HELP SONY
