Product Reviews
Center viewing vs side viewing. Big difference pictures don’t show how much blacks you lose from just a couple of feet off cente
I have been in the market for a new tv and have bought and test several this week for the Samsung 9500 to Sony 850d and the lg b6. This tv is very very nice. After having the 850d for a few days I just could not live with the washed out blacks the tv produced. So I Returned and tried out the Samsung 9500 and the lg oled b6.First off let me say a few things about this Sony 930e. It’s an awesome tv by far. The IQ is what you expect from a flagship tv. The black levels are close to that of the LG OLed b6. After comparing the 930e and the B6 side by side I have a few things I wanted to discuss. The black levels of 930e are very dark however what I have noticed compared to the b6 was that the 930e picked up some blue/purple in the blacks where the B6 was just back. I also noticed that the 930e is very bright to the point where the whites and bright areas get washed out and have clipping. You lose detail in the bright areas if you have this bad boy at max brightness which really defeats the purpose of a tv going so bright. It’s just about unusable light. Especially if you use the X1 extended settings on high. The lg b6 handled the bright areas better than the 930e perhaps because it’s not as bright. I have the 930e down at 20 on the bright setting and it looks good and bright in both day and night. The 930e seems to be sharper than the Lg B6 straight out the box however there are tweaks you can to the lg to nearly match the sharpness of the 930e but I would say that there seems to be more detail in the Sony 930e than both Samsung 9500 and the b6. If you are into that soap opera effect the Sony does a great job with it especially in the motion part. It surpasses the 850d and the 930d by far in that respect. Although the lg did does a great job as well I think the 930e handled jutteering and motion better. Skin tones on the Sony tvs seam like they pick up green tint and I have not been able to figure out how to get it out. I do not like that green hue to skin tones it does especially in Lower light scenes. The LG seams to have better skin tones more natural. HDR viewing so far is better on the LG b6. I have streamed some 4K hdr from Netflix and yeah the LG out performs the Sony. More detail in the darkest blacks in the LG over the Sony 930e. Colors are rich and vibrant and and probably the reds and yellows are deeper and more saturated often times on the Sony but blues and better on the lg. Not in every movie which is weird because there are some movies where the colors are better than the Sony. What I found was that with the lg b6 I had to crank up the saturation color +10 to match the sonys vibrance. I also noticed that background blurs and gradients are waayy better on the Sony 930e. It’s like night and day. Very smooth transitions from light to dark espcially in sky’s. Where the LG b6 is more grainy. Folks this tv has to be the best altertnative to oled right now in the price range and if you are only viewing from the front there is no hesitation that this tv would be the top choice. However this tv falls very short from off center viewing. It’s absolutely horrible!!!!! And this is why I gave it 4 stars. This was the only thing that I just can’t get over. For the price you are paying you would expect a wider viewing angle. My king chair is off to the right of the tv and everything is brighter and you lose your deep blacks which this tv is all about and for that reason the Lg b6 wins in off center viewing. If you want to. It a tv so that the whole room can get the best colors and picture OLed is where it’s at hands down and worth the extra $200 but if you only will be watching from the center. This is then the Sony 930e is the tv to buy and you will be amazed at the picture quality. It’s a giant step forward from the 930d.
Truly Amazing Sony 4K HDR TV
I’ve had the TV about 2 months now and I love it. The colors and clarity are truly amazing. All of Sony’s software and processing helps to create amazing images. Default settings are a little warm for my personal taste, but give a solid picture out of the box. With a little tweak of the settings TV gives very vibrant colors and deep blacks.The audio from the unit is higher than the average newer big screen since it comes with 6 speakers built in, 2 being tweeters, 2 mid range and 2 woofer, giving it a nice balanced sound without the need for a soundbar.Has lots of options for quick menus and remote even has a custom programmable quick input button allowing you to instantly go to any input with a single press.Biggest downside to me is that is does take a couple minutes for the apps and Google Play stuff to really stop lagging. The screen will instantly turn on, but apps will sometime take a minute or so to instantly register inputs from remote.
Great Gaming TV and Awesome HDR
Sony have really outdone themselves with 930E. The HDR is awesome on this TV and blacks are really black. It’s as close as you will get to OLED blacks. I bought this TV for gaming first and movie watching second. So, if you are a gamer like myself, you will be in for a treat with this TV. Works great for gaming with no lag issues online or offline. I tested a PS4 Pro, Xbox One and Xbox 360 so far with great results. The games I tested have been…..PS4 PRO 4K HDR are, Resogun The Last Of Us, and FFX. In 4k its REZ, and Rise of The Tomb Raider. Using my Denon Receiver to upscale 1080p to 4K offline and online on Xbox One it’s, COD MW and IW, GOW 4, Halo 5 and The Division. Xbox 360 its Outland and Bayonetta. All these games looked great. They were very rich in blacks and color and I had no motion issues. The one thing it all comes down too, is having the right settings for gaming. Once you find the correct ones, the tv is a spectacle.Overall, I’m extremely happy with the 930E and I’m glad I chose it over the 900E. Some may prefer FALD over edge lit, but I think 930E is a great example of a well done Edge Lit display. It may still have some minor issues, but nothing that would stop you from really enjoying any content. If you can afford the extra cash over the 900E, I think you’ll be better off with the 930E. Adding some BIAS lighting made a difference on this set at night because it can be bright. Oh and the FFX Movie (bundled with the FFX special edition game) looks INSANE on the Animation preset of the TV. I changed some settings on it, but I’ve never seen such great picture quality on digital animation. I was blown away. I felt like I just saw the movie for the first time. Also popped in John Wick and Mad Max: Fury Road and they both looked great upscaled. On top of the, It’s HDR future proof with updates coming for Dolby Vision and HLG.Highly recommended set for for mixed usage.
WOW!!!
Unbelievable picture! 4K programming pops and you feel like your there in the scene. The out of box default settings were 98%. Only had to tweak a couple. This TV rocks!
Screen flickers from setup on. Very disappointed out of the box.
Just bought this TV. Throughout the setup, Netflix, XBOX.. the screen will quickly flicker and a single black line will flash across the screen.

Very happy with this purchase.
Faulty product.
*Bought this model from Best Buy 10 days ago. The tv works fine for a few hours, then doesn’t turn on. Tried the remote, tried turning it on from the main power button.
Not as good as quality plasma TVs for 1080i 720P inputs
Bought it at a store other than Amazon. If you own a quality Plasma TV and watch mostly cable or satellite TV at 1080i, avoid this TV.
The colors and Bright are great but the UHD Definition on HD CABLE TV is …
The SONY TV not came with the VS screws, important for the flat wall Mount. The colors and Bright are great but the UHD Definition on HD CABLE TV is very bad, i could be bad on…

Easy to set up. Picture quality is excellent. Can’t wait to explore all the features. I am very happy with this purchase

I purchased it few days ago and this is my first 4K TV. I had a HD TV before. As a sports FAN and movie addict the picture quality is excellent!!
Excellent Except for HDMI PC Connection
comments powered by DisqusVery good picture. It is in a room with a lot of windows and there is not a problem with glare. Android features and other features using the internet connection work very well.
