Three-disc set includes Rise Of The Planet Of The Apes (2011) A research scientist (James Franco) tests a drug on a group of chimpanzees, greatly increasing their intelligence before he's forced to put them all down. That is, all but Caesar (Andy Serkis in a voice and motion-capture performance), one of the test subjects' offspring, whose enhanced brain capacity enables him to lead his fellow primates in a violent revolution against humanity. Provocative reboot of the classic sci-fi film series also stars Freida Pinto, John Lithgow. 105 min. C/Rtg PG-13 Dawn Of The Planet Of The Apes (2014) Ten years after a devastating virus wiped out much of humanity, a small band of survivors in San Francisco has established an uneasy peace with chimpanzee Caesar (a motion-captured Andy Serkis who also supplies his voice) and his community of intelligent apes who live in the nearby Muir Woods. But co-existence may be ultimately out of reach as members of both species seem bound and determined to make war. Jason Clarke, Gary Oldman, Keri Russell co-star in this hit sequel. 130 min. C/Rtg PG-13 War For The Planet Of The Apes (2017) The third chapter in the rebooted sci-fi film franchise finds ape leader Caesar's (Andy Serkis in a voice and motion-capture performance) forces locked in a desperate conflict with the Colonel (Woody Harrelson), a ruthless human whose army also includes a group of traitorous primates. As the war reaches it's apex, the virus that decimated much of humanity begins to cause some of the remaining survivors to slowly devolve into more primitive creatures. With Steve Zahn, Karin Konoval, Amiah Miller.

Steven Spielberg's WWII epic has been hailed as a senses-shattering, realistic depiction of war, telling the emotional story of a no-nonsense U.S. Army captain (Tom Hanks), who, after facing the horrors of Omaha Beach on D-Day, receives orders to lead his troops on a search somewhere in Normandy for Private James Ryan, a lost paratrooper whose three brothers had been killed in combat. Also stars Edward Burns, Tom Sizemore, Barry Pepper, Vin Diesel, and Matt Damon as Ryan. 169 min. Widescreen; Soundtrack English.

GREAT TV!
By GadgetGuy3940
I wanted an LED set with great upscaling and motion handling (to watch shows and sports on cable), great video processing for all sources, for use in a bright room, and with reliable reviews from others. After MUCH research I went with the x950H and am so glad that I did. Sony is known for their video processing (including upscaling) and color accuracy. No need to professionally calibrate this set. It looks great on Cinema setting with a few tweaks. Sports and other fast moving content look great. Streaming 4K HDR source are amazing. It was between this and the x900H but after comparing them side by side and reading about the many more issues with the x900H (banding due to lack of gradient smoothing features and motion settings reverting) I decided to go with what is most important to me, picture quality and content. The Android OS has just about every content app that is needed and the GUI is fairly snappy. I am also not using this TV for gaming so I was not concerned at all about the lack of HDMI 2.1 (the only advantage besides a lower price that the x900H has). Once in a while I lose wifi network connectivity and have to unplug or reset the TV. This has happened 2 or 3 times since owning the set. The lowest I have seen the 75" for is $2599 here at Best Buy during their 2-day sale going on during Amazon's Prime Days. I did get the delivery and set-up service from Best Buy because I had read about too many horror stories of cracked screens from deliveries that stop at the front door. Wasn't taking any chances with this purchase.

Regarding X-Wide Angle Technology
October 16, 2020
I will say that although the X-wide angle technology on this set helps a bit with off-angle viewing, the technology also results in an odd "rainbow effect" where any light source reflection yields subtle rainbow-colored lines emanating from it on the screen. The overall brightness of reflection may be reduced vs. sets without the X-Wide technology, but the rainbow effect can be just as distracting, and I often still need to turn off or cover light sources in the room for a better viewing experience. I will say that the TV gets plenty bright to offset reflections which are mainly noticed in dark background scenes.

Will this model be getting the update that adds the Apple TV+ app? Sony recently announced that the update would be coming to "most 2019 and 2020, and select 2018 models". Will the x950H series be one of these models? If so, when will it happen?
