Sony X850E Review (XBR65X850E, XBR75X850E)
RTings gave it a good review.
And where are you watching HDR content from? Amazon? Netflix? Amazon's HDR is not good IMO and I heard Netflix's is subpar. You need to download a demo from Sony. And don't change the brightness of HDR. Leave it at 100. And people don't understand that HDR is suppose to give the picture a more natural look to the picture.

I have a x800D and I wasn't impressed with HDR on Amazon. A big part of HDR looking good is that your tv has to get bright enough.
we supposed to be using gaming mode? it's not possible to run both hdr and gaming mode on there is it? I'm assuming you got a ks8000.
Completely agreed. This tv black levels suck ass in dimly lit rooms (no local dimming) but it gets extra fukkin bright

An OLED screen is an OLED screen. All TVs come pre-calibrated that's why you're supposed to calibrate it yourself to get the best out of the panel. Everything else is a marketing ploy -- just look at the specs if you don't believe me. Proprietary technology is usually just overclocked old technology -- *Blast Processing* if you will.
Yes the panels calibration differs which is why you perceive each TV too be different but they are all the same this generation with marginal differences. The only thing that I care about is the input lag which Samsung KS8000 and KS9000 are the kings in for 4K HDR TVs.
If you sit in front of an LED TV and an OLED TV for an hour the only differences you'll notice are probably in the first 10 minutes but after that you won't even notice it anymore, at least I don't.
KS9000
Or use PC mode as the image is sharper. But you don't need to do that with Samsung as the input lag is 21ms even with every feature on as well as HDR. That is why I brought it. You get the most perfect picture possible and input lag in near impossible to notice unless you're an eagle. Input lag on KS8000 and KS9000 is near PC monitor quality but obviously on a much larger canvas.
I have the 55" model. I might trade it in for the bigger 65" model because even that has 21ms of input lag too with HDR turned on.
I think LG has a better spec TV but the price is extortionate.

nikka, I probably forgot more research on this than you ever did
Most of the sets I ever bought I did extensive research for months before purchasing. 
I BOUGHT my pops a 4k TV fakkit. I know exactly what it does because I use it. The reason why I didnt buy myself one was because I moved into my new house 3 years ago and bought 3 new 1080P sets. At the time 4k price was lofty with not enough content to support it. I dont need to buy one now even though they are mad affordable because there are nothing wrong with the 5 1080p sets I have now.
so fukk yo research bytch nikka. talmbout 4k purchase isnt justified when you can get them shyts for like $400 bucks and the 4k content on it is noticably better than 1080p. you must think a good 4k TV is still $2k. ole stone age ass.
nikka you didn't buy somebody a 4k TV and buy yourself a 1080...fukk outta here. The price of the TV has absolutely NOTHING to do with my point. Your dumb ass hasn't thrown up a stat yet. You haven't researched shyt.nikka, I probably forgot more research on this than you ever did

"I haven't played games..." bytch I did, and the games really define this 4k shyt if you talking about the visual difference. That's where the MAJORITY of the research comes in. HDR has more of an impact on visuals that 4k resolution does. You doing price and spec comparisons is not research

brehs....you know nikkas dont know wtf they talmbout if they in here sayin Vizio is trash.
I gotta 42" M series in my bar I purchased early 2015. One of the GOAT 42" ever made in terms of PQ. 
I also have an LG 55" LED, one of the first LED's on the market next to Samsung...who is also excellent. that THX Movie Mode
I have a Samsung another LG and a Panasonic 55" plasma that will put mostly any other 1080p to shame.
I cant speak on 4k that much outside of Vizio but dont sleep on TCL 4k Roku TV sets.
I never use gaming mode. I use custom mode for gaming but if a game has HDR it automatically switches to the HDR setting fukk gaming mode
I looked at buying a 4k TV but at the time when I MOVED into my new house like I said...they were NOT worth the price. A Hisense 60"
was going for $1600 at Costco 
There was no fukkin content. fukk was I gonna do, what tester videos on Youtube?
So instead of waiting 2 or 3 years I bought the best 1080p sets I could get.
Last year I bought my pops a 4k my nikka because the price had dropped to 1/3 retail price by that time. Now you have affordable streaming content, blu-ray, etc....
the price has everything to do with justification, that is the word you used and that was your point. 4k is better than 1080p, only an idiot or someone who has never seen real 4k would argue that.
what part did you not understand wit yo illiterate ass?
oh yeah, I forgot, I did buy a Seiki 39" 4k tv from TigerDirect when I first moved 3 years ago to put in a bonus room. Again, prices were high so I copped something cheap to "try out".
issues AT THE TIME:
not enough 4k content
4k was at 30hz on this set which is why it was so cheap (think I paid $400 for it)
old firmware (4k was greatly improved with new firmware)
in short it just wasnt a true 4k tv before the firmware. I returned it in a week. this set however was well reviewed as a high quality monitor, just not TV. and TV improved after firmware.
