We tested the 55″ Sony X950H (XBR55X950H), and for the most part, we expect our review to be valid for the 49″ (XBR49X950H), the 65″ (XBR65X950H), the 75″ (XBR75X950H), and the 85″ (XBR85X950H). Note that the 49″ variant doesn’t have Sony’s ‘X-Wide Angle’ layer to improve viewing angles, so it’s expected to have a higher contrast ratio. There are also other differences, such as the borders, speaker configuration, and location of inputs, as some of the HDMI ports on the 49″ variant are downward-facing. In Europe, this TV is known as the XH9505, and we expect it to offer the same performance.
If someone comes across a different type of panel or if their Sony X950H doesn’t correspond to our review, let us know and we will update the review. Note that some tests such as the gray uniformity may vary between individual units.
