The Sony X900H fills an interesting spot in Sony’s LCD lineup – it's their second highest-end 4k model, below the X950H. Despite appearing lower in the series, it claims to have features that the X950H lacks, like HDMI 2.1 and variable refresh rate support.

The TV has a VA panel with an excellent contrast ratio and it has a full-array local dimming feature that makes blacks look even better in the dark. It's well-suited for bright rooms, as it gets bright enough to easily overcome glare. Fast-moving scenes look crisp thanks to its fast response time and optional black frame insertion feature, and it can interpolate lower frame content up to 120fps for fans of the soap opera effect. Gamers should be happy with its low input lag, which remains low even when playing in 4k with 10-bit HDR. Unfortunately, its viewing angles are quite narrow, as it lacks Sony's 'X-Wide Angle' layer, so images look washed out when viewed from the side. Like most Sony TVs, it runs on Android, which is a user-friendly platform that has an enormous selection of streaming services available.
