Just when I thought I'd never need to buy another copy of Alien, this came along and yes, it is THAT noticeably better. This is about as perfect a UHD image as I've seen and it's what sold me on the format. Shadow detail is insane here, and it's the absolute key to this particular movie's presentation.

It's classic, but you already know that. If you're UHD capable, this is about as wonderful and comprehensive a package as you'll get. I've seen many have issues with the compression on the new UHD transfer, but I didn't have much by way of issue on my 65" set. If you're more susceptible to being annoyed by that, then ymmv.

A lesser 80's classic.

If you're into this movie, you're probably already aware that there's some glitchiness on the HDR10 pass on this title, but the Dolby Vision grade looks amazing and has no glitchiness. Truthfully the only issue is for fractions of a second and while I likely would have noticed it before it was pointed out, it ain't the end of the world if you're not Dolby Vision capable. I'm thrilled with how this movie looks on the format. It's not a patch on the original film in terms of content, but I couldn't award 4 1/2 stars so I err on giving high marks for the attempt.

Listen, if you're even looking at this, you're already sold on UHD as a format. These movies are treasures and they have never looked better- and I'm not sure they can look better. I'm looking forward to volume 2!

This is an extremely powerful subwoofer and it handles everything I throw at it. It's ridiculously inexpensive for what it is and I don't know you can do better for an entry-level subwoofer.

I've always loved Sony receivers and this is a solid and dependable little powerhouse. I listen to a lot of music and watch a lot of 1080p and UHD discs and the sound and video that go through this come out sounding and looking pure and full. Research anything before you buy- this receiver is well regarded and has the right number of HDMI and speaker inputs for my modest but powerful 5.1 blu-ray/UHD set-up. I couldn't be happier. Caveats: If Atmos is your jam, this can't do that. It doesn't have wireless technology. The troubleshooting you can do with AV sync is extremely limited and sync can be an issue if you're running all kinds of inputs in and out of your set-up. I literally only have a UHD player, 5.1 speakers, and I use the tv for all streaming apps, so this is the right fit for me.

There's much to love about this set. If you're researched reviews, you'll know that the X90J is extremely well-regarded and it's very deserved. The settings right out of the box require very little tweaking for the picture to look as good as it can. You'll probably want it calibrated, but I actually was so pleased with settings I got on line: google rtings.com and youtube Vincent Teoh, that I'm still sitting with them. We're primarily movie watchers and the 4K image with a UHD Blu-ray or a 1080p blu-ray is outstanding. The usual apps also look great as good as any I've seen on a set at this price-point. So far, I only have one real caveat, but for some it might be substantial. There is pretty significant blooming on all black screens with bright white text- exactly the kind of thing you see in credit sequences. The detail is still solid in those instances, but ymmv in terms of how well you can deal with it. It's enough that I was surprised none of the expert reviewers really mentioned it. I'm still giving the set a 5-star review because it really is great in terms of overall picture quality and price point. It's not an OLED- as the blooming often reminds me- but it's about as good as you're gonna do for a set in this range.

Exceptional OLED picture and rich sound in perfect harmony, powered by the intelligent Cognitive Processor XR. Billions of accurate colors and pure black make everything you watch and play come to life with natural hues and shades. Acoustic Surface Audio+ turns the entire screen into a multi-channel speaker that follows the action on screen for a truly immersive viewing experience.
If this tv is connected to avr and speakers, can the tv be used as the center channel?
