Good when it worked

This was a good TV with great features, including HDR and 3D. Unfortunately it died, which apparently was a common issue with this model that triggered an extension of the Sony warranty. There were times it wouldn't come on which was frustrating, but then it just completely died.

good picture

I've had this unit for four years and it has been problematic. Had to have the power board replace due to a defect and it has a problem turning on after the replacement.

Excellent TV Display

This TV has excellent color and clarity of the display - much better than an older Bravia TV it replaced, The Android features work great and are easy to access. Great multiple HDMI connections in back. The only minor drawback is that I have a couple older video units to connect and there is only one YGB connection on the set so I had to purchase a separate HDMI adapter in order to connect one of my units. Again this is a very minor issue - the set is fantastic.

Nice picture but tv has problem with power supply

I bought this tv almost 3 yrs ago in December and the power supply already fail. Even though Sony repair it for free I was still without tv for a couple of days. And it's been a month and it's starting to reset(sometimes) when you first turn on the tv.

Great TV, Lackluster Support

TV does not support 4K streaming of VUDU, some cheaper Sony TV's of same age do support this feature.

Still a fabulous purchase

I know this tech is a few years old but the picture quality of this xbr55x930D is just amazing. Details in low light scenes pop out, no black crush, colors are vivid and life like. I always look at the latest new releases whenever I'm out and about. As far a picture quality I haven't seen anything that makes me want to upgrade.

Clear, vivid picture

Love this 75" Sony smart TV! The picture is wonderfully clear and crisp with vivid colors. I read concerned it would look too big, however with the wall mount it fits perfectly in the space. A great addition to the room. The Sony sound bar is perfect for the TV and easy to connect.

died in 18 months

I bought my xbr-65x930d less than a year and a half ago. Today it would not turn and after an online chat and a live call they finally agreed that there is a problem and are ordering parts to fix it. They said it could take up to 10 days. My main problem is that I have to remove it from the mount personally for them to service it, and I have add two major back surgeries in the last couple of years and am unable to do it. This is going to be a major inconvenience for me. This is my third high end Sony TV (2 other Elites) and my last. My first had many issues and was repaired several times but I never before had to take it off the mount myself.

Excellent Picture!

I'm really impressed with the image quality of this model! The OLED models are out of my price range (for performance/cost justification), but this model offers comparable image quality to my eyes, and offers a stunning image quality at a decent price.

TV Screen went bad after One Year

TV Screen went bad after One Year. Sony's quality has gone to garbage. I did NOT expect this from a sony TV. I have an older model for over 13 years with no issues. The new TV is plain junk.

Picture Quality

Bought this tv in May and haven’t been overwhelmed like I was hoping. Have directv and HD picture is worse than the Samsung I have that’s 6 yrs old. The 4K on Neflix and directv look great, but there’s not enough content out there to justify. Was sold that it would upscale the pictures and make it better, but definitely not. Watching sports like soccer, golf or football you can tell the biggest diff Would love some expert advice on how to make it better if it’s a settings thing.

good 4k intro TV

Iv'e had this model for almost 2 years now. What seemed like a great purchase I was excited for turned out to being an okay purchase that will make me more hesitant buying any future Sony 4k models. First the pros, Great HDR 10 picture and the 4k streaming all looks great. The TV itself looks sleek as well. Now the cons, A couple times a week the TV reboots itself for no reason. Is very unreliable when you pair it with a wireless internet. It drops and reconnects often. While the picture is mostly great I do see a lot of texture blur and back-light working too hard trying to keep up with moving frames in pictures. If you don't have any type of soundbar or speaker setup get one because the sound quality on just these TV speakers alone is awful. The apps themselves even when the TV is connected to the internet properly have a hard time closing correctly and will restart themselves causing the tv to freeze and then restart. Yes 80% of the Time the picture is great. I have an Oppo 4k player paired with the TV. If your looking for something to just watch with an external player and make a few slight picture adjustments too this is your TV. If you want it all and feel like all the bell and whistles should work (which they don't properly) skip this venture. Unless Sony has fixed many of the techniccal problems that seem to plague this model It will be hard for me to come back.

18 months, bad LED panel

Purchased the 55X930D in December 2016 and now we are dealing with a bad LED panel. The image is distorted with horizontal lines throughout (creating a blurry double image). The TV was only used on average between 10-15 hours per week. The purchase price is not worth the short life (18 months) of the product - especially compared to two other Sony TVs we have in the house that are in perfect working condition after 10 years. It would not be worth the high cost to repair this product.

Delays in powering on

Purchased this television a little over a year ago and it started having problems with turning on and constantly rebooting. Tried resetting back to factory settings but nothing works. Need advice on what can be done, because I paid a good amount of money for this television.

It’s okay wish 3D looked better

I bought it in November 2017 5 months later power supply board went up. Sony said there was issue with Sony 55-65 inch 930D power supply board. If the TV has no power on. Basically the TVs are covered until. 2021. And a slight issue with the 3D think it’s not calibrated right. 3D 1-10 I give it a 4 1/2, sorry Sony, Samsung has you beat on 3D TVs. But now 3D out and 4K is in. But Directors are still making 3-D movies. HDR looks fabulous and fantastic. I give rating of xbr55x930d 1-10, 6.

TV was great until I came home to no power to it!

I purchased this TV March 26, 2017, I purchased it because it was the last 3D TV Sony made and I have a 3D movie collection. Today, May 3, 2018, the television will not power on, does not display anything and of course, the warranty is about 1 month and a week past due. I have been a loyal Sony buyer for 20 years and am very disappointed with this. I want the unit repaired or replaced as they do not make the 3D televisions anymore.

Glitchy. Freezes. Reboots randomly

Bought this TV January 2017 and ever since then I’ve had problems with it freezing, rebooting and slow performance. New software updates keep coming out to try and improve the problems but never definitely solve the problem. I bought Sony because it was the “best” TV to buy and not have problems with it, but I guess I expecting too much.

Dead after 18 months

Bought this brand new 18 months ago. During that time, there were 4 times that the TV would not accept an HDMI signal. Luckily, others had same issue (ha!) and found how to reboot TV. Now, no power. Also known issue. I thought I was buying quality with Sony. So now I am thinking about other brans to replace this TV.

Should have stuck with our Samsung

We've only had this TV for 18 months and are extremely disappointed. We've already had the motherboard replaced! This TV is constantly freezing or having internet connectivity issues. Trouble streaming as well, while other TV's in the house have not trouble. We did homework, then listened to the salesman about this one. What a mistake.

7 Months old and already acting up

Bought this TV 7 months ago. A few weeks ago it stopped recognizing the HDMI input from my cable box, now it has started rebooting on it's own several times per day. Very frustrating.

DESIGN ISSUE: STAY AWAY

I bought this TV (55" 930d) in November 2016 and got a good year out of it, but since then the PDU has failed and Sony has extended the warranty through 2021 due to the design flaw. Picture is good/great Thickness is amazingly thin Android software is hit or miss: works well when it works, but when it crashes you get ANNOYING popups that you can't disable, even if you're connected to an external HDMI device watching a movie! Power design flaw is a deal breaker.

Excellent Viewing Experience

By btc111

I purchased the 930D recently for my family room after much on-line analysis. It's a wonderful viewing experience in both night and day environments, plenty bright for day viewing and excellent black levels at night. I did consider another brand, but like others seeking a 4K or high quality upscaling viewing experience, it comes down to preference. I just liked 930D better.
