TV is top quality for the price
on April 29, 2017
Posted by: Pokey
Bought this TV a couple of weeks back. Picture quality is excellent for 1080 inputs and superb for 4K inputs. Availability of 4K is limited, but this will improve a lot over the next couple of years. Colors seem to be very accurate, with skin tones looking very real. The sound is okay for a TV, but I got a Zvox sound base so I could customize the sound. I have poor hearing and the sound now seems excellent. I see no lip sync problems, but I did not calibrate this, so thanks to the Best Buy guy for that. Price went down $100 10 days after I bought it and Best Buy gave me a full credit for the difference, and now I feel very good about buying it from them. I have the 49 inch and was somewhat limited in my choice because of the size of the opening for a TV in our wall unit. Our old Sony had a habit of heating up but I find that this unit has no such problem. I think the local dimming is very good and I see no problems with the backlighting. The contrast on the TV is very good and graphics, which seem to be 90% of TV pictures these days, are very clear and readable from any distance. I am very pleased with this purchase. I researched many choices extensively before I bought the Sony XBR49X900E and I am glad I did because there is a lot of useless information to be sifted through out there.
I would recommend this to a friend!

Sony - 49" Class (48.5" Diag.) - LED - 2160p - Smart - 4K Ultra HD TV with High Dynamic Range - Black. Is this a Oled TV ?

No. An OLED has a great picture and a big price tag. This TV has almost as good a picture and costs half as much. You probably won't find many OLEDs in a 48-50 inch size, until or unless the price of OLED comes down a lot more. The difference is that on OLED TVs each pixel has its own lighting, so no back lighting is necessary. The backlighting on this TV is very good with localized dimming and I don't see much difference in the black levels either. If you have very bad viewing angles in your TV room, the value of OLED will go up for you. At normal viewing angles, there is not enough advantage to OLED., in my opinion.

Is this tv Directv ready?

Yes, but Direct TV will need to provide an extra input box if you want 4K television content. The good news is that the interpolation software on this TV is excellent for conversion to 4K display and if directv ever gets more than 4 lousy 4k channels, it might become worth it to get the 4k box. I didn't bother, but that doesn't mean I won't get 4k from them if they have more to offer.

What are the width and height dimensions ?

49 inch TV is 43 1/2 inches wide, about 27-28 inches high on the stand. I have it on top of a Zvox sound base and that added 3.5 inches to the height, so measure your space before you buy any TV.
