Phenomenal Picture Quality First of all, I watch movies and sports. I don't watch cable shows and I don't play games on my Sony. With that disclaimer, let's begin. This poor TV. It's like the redheaded stepchild of tvs. Bendgate and whistling noises with HDR. It's had it's share of problems. I was fortunate enough to only have to return one because of severe light bleed in the bottom left hand corner during widescreen movies. The second one was phenomenal. If you watch cable television almost exclusively, it's the best sixty-five inch on the market for the price point. Period. It handles motion better than Samsungs. Better color saturation and brightness than OLEDs. Black levels are so close to OLED that it's difficult for me to tell the difference. After customization, you can make the blacks pretty inky. For the price to performance of the black levels, I don't really care. I"m happy. If black levels are your thing, then look at OLEDs or the Sony Z9D. I will say the local dimming on this set is what absolutely floored me the first time I viewed it. I had never seen another television perform local dimming so well with such great color saturation and brightness. However, that's just me. You, more than likely, might be looking for something else in your living room. The TV has several different viewing modes to choose from: standard, custom, cinema pro, cinema home and many others. The ones I listed are the only viewing modes I consider useful. The others are just programmed bloat. Cinema home and cinema pro are great for night viewing with some bias lighting. I have standard and custom set up for daytime viewing since I have many windows in my living room. The speakers are surprisingly good considering the direction the industry is going (relying on external sound components). I watch blu-rays and the upscaling is great, but I don't have anything else to compare. HDR is amazing too. The only problem is there isn't a lot of HDR material out right now. Hopefully, it will materialize in the future. As far as design, it's extraordinarily beautiful. It's less than an inch in thickness around the edge except for the lower back portion of the set. The lower back section bulges out to an astounding inch. It has an external rectangular power supply to achieve the design concept. I love the 930D so it will receive five stars. There are no perfect tvs. There's always room for improvement. One thing that bothers me is the USB bias lighting and the USB ports. Typically, the bias lighting plugged into a port should turn off when the set is turned off. However, the USB ports turn on and off while the actual tv set is off thereby turning on the bias lighting randomly. I have yet to figure out this issue. I can live with it for now. There's also minor light bleed and clouding on the screen while it's not actively displaying anything. It doesn't affect the picture while actually watching a movie. It's not a perfect tv set, but it's as close to perfect as it can be. Thank you Sony for making movies fun again.

Oustanding Gorgeous Sony TV---if you get a perfect set. If you're lucky enough to get your hands on a perfect set (meaning no bends which equals no ghosting), then you've got yourself a 5 star Sony 4K HDR TV. Can't afford OLED? Best quality non-OLED screen in the market. This is your TV. The image is gorgeous. The blacks are the best you can find due to the Slim Backlight Drive. It's not perfect but it's close. Upscaling is phenomenal on FiOS TV. Channels look stunning. Now I mentioned "if you get your hands on a perfect set". Well, the bendgate issue is real as our first set was bent which had ghosting issues due to the bend. Sony quickly took action and rest assured our brand new 930d would be free of such issues and well, they delivered!! The TV was outstanding.

Excellent Panasonic Plasma like, SONY 4K picture quality, Happy Buyer ! Sony Rocks ! I purchased this TV after reading about the slim backlight drive and the great reviews from buyers and experts. I am amazed by the picture quality. I sold my Panasonic ZT60 an year ago, and regretted it ever since, thanks to Sony's XBR55X930D, I finally have something closer to plasma picture quality. While out of box picture quality was good in itself, I do like to play with different expert settings, I tried the settings from Cnet and Rtings and soundandvision, and played with them a bit, my calibrated settings now deliver mind blowing picture quality on regular content (non-hdr content). I will play with hdr settings later, I think any of the settings from cnet, rtings or soundandvision should work great for hdr content. Thank you Sony for making this TV, Thank you Amazon for the excellent delivery and service, thank you picture quality experts for providing me best settings. I am a happy TV viewer now !

Best option that isn't a OLED I waited awhile to post a review for this TV due to having to tweak with the setting (ALOT) for movie watching (bluray/4k HDR) and also for watching netflix. Overall it does have some of the best blacks/dark you will find that isn't a OLED. So if you are looking for 65in TV you can't go wrong with this TV unless you don't mind spending the extra $1,200-1,500+ for an OLED. I would say if you are looking into buying a TV at this time just wait a few months 2-3 months for the black friday/X-mas sales. I got this TV at best buy for $2,700 but was able to do a price adjustment seeing how it dropped to $2,400 within 14 days of buying it (reason I say wait for black friday/X-mas sales). One big this I will say about this TV is if you buy it in store inspect it before you even pull it out of the box for bends etc. this TV is known for coming bend/warped. The box is easy to remove without getting to far in to the setup. I also did buy a Sony soundbar with it (open box buy) due to the sound from the TV not being that great. Overall I am happy with the TV reason for only 4 stars is for the amount of tweaking you will have to do to get the best picture for yourself. Oh and don't trust what many store reps tell you the guys at bestbuy didn't even know what the soap opera effect was...which is motionflow for Sony TV samsung/LG call it by another name. If you have any questions about this TV etc. feel free to ask away..I have spent many hours playing with the setting on the TV. Oh and one more thing to activate the "HDMI Enhanced" (HDMI 2.0 for HDR) function on the input I used (to do so, from the Home menu scroll down to Settings -> External Inputs -> HDMI Signal Format -> Select Enhanced).

The sound alone is not good. We had a previous purchased surround sound system so it worked out for us. The adjustment menus (for sound, color, etc) is difficult to manage through until you get used to it. All in all, I would say it was a good purchase.

Great Picture Quality. Super deep Black Level, So-so remote. The picture quality is outstanding, does require soon tweaking. Definitely need to turn off Smoothing to avoid the horrible Soap Opera effect. All aspects of the pictures are adjustable, and looking into professional calibration. Also, picture looks great in a semi-dark room, with almost no reflection. The lack of reflection made the choice between the Sony and highly reflective Samsung very easy. 4K content from Amazon and Netflix is incredibly. Very deep, nearly OLED blackness. The Android operating system is fun, but a little tedious:, Would prefer direct access to settings instead of digging through multiple menus. Had some difficulty using the ARC input to control my Uverse DVR and Denon receiver through the TV. This is not a huge issue since you really will want to use a different remote anyway. The Sony remote, as mentioned in multiple reviews, is dreadful: No backlight, and close button placement made it unusable. Upgraded to the newest Harmony Remote/Hub after I gave up on the Sony remote. All in all a great set. One warning: The guys that delivered the set through Amazon Enhanced Delivery were totally clueless. Watch the youtube videos on assembly to avoid any set up issues.

Great Tv but if you have it delivered make sure ... Great Tv but if you have it delivered make sure you do not look at the guys setting the Tv on the stand they laid the Tv on the foam and let it bend a couple of times nearly giving me heart attack. They should do the stand first even better watch youtube how to do it.
