excellent upscaling
the 3D is lovely to watch

It s not available at launch
The language used throughout is willfully unintuitive and non-inclusive
Resident Wi-Fi is dual band
Twitter build into TVs is #lame
s when things start to get ugly
the lack of native content
it still felt a bit too high in the Cinema profile
The outlook is a bit muddy
input lag varied a bit
X9 has no HDMI 2. 0 ports
Gamma is a bit too high in the dark end of the scale
resolve high-frequency pixel-phase pattern
red tint
always-on noise filtering
Sony is less prone to aberrant motion processing
Selector Viewing Distance Calculator Input Lag Database
new X-tended Dynamic Range technology
less interpolation artefacts and quirky motion processing errors than
lack of visible pixel grid structure
the four provided are built to the full new HDMI 2
there are no breaks or joins when the screen is off
picture noise and motion blur
the resolution on the disc is still only Full HD
there's no 4K content available
still quite a bit of compression from the picture output
clarity of image and depth of colour is only available in an extremely limited range of media
it feels strangely backwards watching 3D on a 4K TV
7108K colour temperature is a little on the cool side
effects are nowhere near as noticeable in day-to-day tasks
monitors become too small to function as a main display
become unwieldy and difficult to accommodate on a standard desk
some ports and cables will be unsuitable
home cinema system
X-Reality PRO processing engine
One-Flick Discovery UI and Sony Entertainment Network
only works on the Cinema preset
tethered chord breaks out into the required back-panel inputs
the backlighting which has us hugely distracted
inability to deal with darkness
lack of contrast makes dark scenes look either flat or washed out
the One-Flick remote rather disappointing
exhibits a degree of noise and blocking on occasion
The finish feels cheap
the build is flimsy
colours - particularly red - looked just a little too bright and too vivid
