Latest 4K TV Standards: The Sony XBR-X930D Series has the latest 4K standards including 4K HDR. HDR stands for High Dynamic Range. This technology will give you a great picture with colors that pop, and brighter whites, and deeper blacks (See our video below). This is the direction that TVs are going in for 2016. The X930D also has a HEVC (H.265) decoder. HEVC is the latest compression technology which allows streaming video and 4K video to fit in a much narrower bandwidth, allowing for higher framerates (up to 60fps). This will allow Netflix and other providers to give you 4K quality video using current systems. This model also has the latest HDMI 2.0 standard, which can also support the highest framerates in 4K. This will allow action movies, 4K camcorder video, and sports to operate at the higher 60fps for smoother image quality. This set was upgraded with the latest Dual Band WiFi (2.4GHz/5GHz) a/b/g/n/ac for the fastest wireless streaming of 4K content.

Smart-Review Commentary: For 2016, Sony’s top rated 65-Inch 4K XBR X930D Series is one of the best LED TVs made by Sony. Sony is going all out on HDR (High Dynamic Range) technology, and this is the best Sony we have seen to date. The HDR makes the colors pop, and the higher dynamic range greatly improves the picture. This 4K TV will give you 4 times more pixels than normal HD TVs (8 megapixels of resolution vs. 2 megapixels for regular HD). This allows you to sit much closer to the TV without seeing the individual pixels. By sitting closer, you will have an immersive movie theater experience. Sony has over 10 years of experience with 4K cinema 4K Projectors, as most theaters today have a Sony 4K projector installed. We previewed the X930D series at CES 2016, and the picture was outstanding (see video below). This TV is also a 3D TV and uses active 3D glasses (TDG-BT500A 3d glasses sold separately). It has the latest Dual Band WiFi standards for fast 4K video streaming and Smart TV function, Android TV, a TRILUMINOS™ Display (Sony’s version of Quantum Dots ) , Motionflow® XR960, and Sony’s 4K X-Reality™ Pro Engine.

The X930D series has a TRILUMINOS™ panel (Sony’s version of Quantum Dots) for a wider color spectrum. One of our favorite features, X-tended Dynamic Range™ Pro increases the contrast, with whiter whites, and deeper blacks. These upgrades provide exceptional colors, higher contrast and uniformity. The 4K X-Reality™ Pro engine can upconvert all of your regular HD up to near 4K quality. The new Android TV interface provides internet content such as Netflix®, Amazon Prime, YouTube™, Pandora, Facebook, Skype, and a browser. You can also install Apps from Google Play. The TV comes with a multi-function Voice Controlled Remote for Smart TV and Web browsing functions. Netflix, Amazon, Dish, DirecTV and others have 4K content available in 2016, and this TV is ready with its built-in HEVC (H.265) decoder. As usual, Sony has produced a very striking and stylish set, along with a very strong feature set. This set has HDMI 2.0 (the latest standard), which will allow the highest frame-rates of 4K video. It is future ready and supports next generation 4K players and services. We previewed this model at the Consumer Electronics Show, and felt it had one of the best pictures at the show. The 4K HDR really makes a difference (see video below). The XBR-65X930D is an exceptional 4K TV, the top 65-inch TV from Sony, and is not only a Smart-Review top pick, but has won our BEST OF 2016 Award for 4K TVs.
