Good, basic small TV.

Bought this TV for a graduate gift. It is a good TV for basic needs. Nothing fancy about it. Smart TV isnt necessary if you have anything like a PS4, Xbox, Roku, Apple TV, Firestick, etc. Again, great basic TV without any extra frills.

Good speaker for small rooms or TV speakers

Verified Purchase:Yes
Get this if you have a small room or want anything better than TV speakers. It has good volume and substance. Great bedroom speakers and it has a very small footprint. The sub can be moved to the rear of the room or under the bed or couch.. It only hooks up with an optical cable, no HDMI, so you have to use a separate remote. It has good sound. I got mine as an open box so the price was great vs other comparable speakers. Would recommend.

A good basic 5.1 system.
on January 10, 2018
Posted by: Ddubs
from West Des Moines
Verified Purchase:Yes
I bought this because I wanted to downsize my wired system. This has good clarity and the sub is decent. It is a good system if you are not willing to spend more than $300-400 to move up to the next level. It has a center channel which helps with dialogue and the flat subwoofer gives you a good bass and helps with the 5.1 surround speakers. Its not going to be earth shattering but would be great for smaller to midsize rooms. If I had to choose a system under $400, I would choose this, the Yamaha Yas-207, or the Samsung M550. All are similar with the yas-207 having more of an edge with less wires and the virtual X sound. The other two will be more clear and offer surround speakers. If you have more money, move up to the next level, if you have even more money, try for an atmos system.

A complete waste of money, but she likes it

Verified Purchase:Yes
It is great for a note 8 case...rubbery, thick, and i guess looks cool. She gets complements. It defeats the purpose of a thin light phone as it thickens the phone. It does make it difficult for the wireless charger to work, either from the thickness or the glitter and fluid. You buy it for looks and protection, not for practicality.

My boss needed a laptop to travel with to do remote work that is small enough and has enough power to run work applications and run windows efficiently. This fits the bill and is built sturdy. feels a bit heavier than it looks but still its light. I am and he is not disappointed.

Purchased to replace a Samsung Plasma, Very happy
on May 11, 2017
Posted by: Ddubs
Verified Purchase:Yes
I spent 5 months waiting for an OLED to drop in price but they didnt. I wanted something to replace my 2010 Samsung Plasma (which was calibrated by BB). Eventually I narrowed it down to the LG OLED, Samsung KS 9000, or the Sony X900E. I decided to go with the X900E as it is an improvement over last year's 930D. I felt the X900E had excellent blacks and picture but didnt cost as much as the OLED and had Android TV vs the Samsung interface so I could download Kodi directly. I was really hesitant to replace my old Samsung Plasma because I thought pictures could not get any better than plasmas unless you bought an OLED. I am in week 3 of ownership and have been surprised in all aspects. The X900E as completely impressed me and so far I think my choice was the best one. I would have bought an OLED but could not justify another $1200. The only complaint I have is that the remote is not as good as Samsung's (my brother has the KS8000). Its a bit too square and the buttons are not easy to find or hit since they are not raised much. The picture exceeds my expectations and it is actually easier to see vs the Plasma because it is a bit brighter. I have more natural light in my new living room that my old home, those this is easier to see. Great TV. Ill update if anything goes bad. I also have it connected to a Sony Dn1070 Receiver and Polk Audio 42 inch surroundbar to maximize sound.

Works well but not what I needed for Centurylink
on April 26, 2017
Posted by: Ddubs
Verified Purchase:Yes
I purchased this because it was a great price and tried to use with Centurylink and did not want to purchase their modem. I had upgraded to 40 mbps but needed a new modem that would support VDSL2 and was bonded. I tried to make this one work but it does not and I do not think Netgear makes one that is compatible with DSL higher speeds. I would have liked it if I had a different provider. I returned it with no hassles. Bought one of Centurylinks.

Is this a safe case or just a pretty case? I really want something safe first, then pretty. Thanks

It is both. Makes the back side very thick and rubbery. My gal likes it but the thickness makes the wireless charging tough.

Does anyone know how this compares to the 930D?

It is better. Has some updates vs the 930D. Look at Sony's website to compare specifics.

Hello just picked up Sony 65" 900e super excited but I had to go right into work so I did not open yet and wanted to know how well these are packed on the inside because my box has a few marks in it not in the best of shape so I wanted to know before I op

Its has thick foam around all the edges and cardboard in front of the screen. I would be surprised if anything would be broken unless it has a huge puncture in the box.

Hi: Plan to put TV on table.( Sony 65 inch) 1) Does this TV have a place for safety strap on back of TV? 2) Could you recommend a good safety strap in case of earthquake etc.? Appreciate the help. Thanks Shaun

It comes with a safety cable and a place to attach it to the TV on the back side.

Our receiver is bad. I have a Harmony remote. which receiver would you suggest for me to buy to go with this TV ? Thank You

Sony receivers should pair well with this tv. I used a DN1070. I would also choose a low profile Marantz. Purchase one that supports your surround sound, 5.1, or 7.1 or more. That will determine cost.
