The X85K is a good 4K HDR TV that offers solid performance and decent features that include Google TV. It’s a great choice for watching movies in a dark room thanks to its great contrast ratio. And if you’re a sports fan the X85K offers good motion-handling capabilities that provide smooth and blur-free action.

The Sony X85K is Sony’s most affordable HDMI 2.1 enabled TV which can be used equally good for gaming and for movies. It has its fair share of problems and will not astonish you with its performance but it has a good performance/price ratio and is really worth it if bought in the right price.

The feature set of the X85K lineup will remain useful and relevant for many years. As the competition works to catch up, you get to enjoy high-resolution, high frame-rate content for a steal. Best of all, the impressive specifications of the Sony X85K deliver a good viewing experience on most counts

It has its strengths, but it certainly has a few notable flaws that keep the TV from being the best in its category. However, given its price, this would be a good option for a family TV.

It performs well for watching SDR or HDR movies in dark rooms as it displays deep blacks and has impressive black uniformity, but it doesn't have a local dimming feature to further improve the contrast. It also makes some highlights pop in HDR, but the tone mapping is off with brighter colors. It's great for watching TV shows and good for watching sports in bright rooms as it gets bright enough to fight glare from a few lights around and has good reflection handling, but it has a narrow viewing angle if you want to use it in a wide seating arrangement. Lastly, it's good for gaming as it has HDMI 2.1 bandwidth and variable refresh rate (VRR) support for console gamers, but it doesn't support FreeSync, which is disappointing for PC gamers.
