With the release of 2016 televisions on the horizon, big discounts on all remaining 2015 models are on the way. And if you are looking for a large screen display, and I mean very large, as in 75″ diagonally; then I suggest you keep your eyes on the Sony 75″ XBR75X910C.

Last year my top five TV picks for 2014 consisted of three 4K UHD models and two 1080p models. This year my top picks for 2015 contain only 4K models. It’s not that I chose to exclude 1080p displays, it just happens that my favorite TVs were all of the ultra HD variety. This comes as no surprise to me since the best performers in this year’s lineup all contain each manufacturers best technology built in; and lately this has been the trend of manufacturers as they make the transition from 1080p to 4K as their best performing models.
Sony’s XBR premium series of 4K UHD TVs typically offers better performance and features when compared to their standard line of televisions. The XBR Series has a wide range of pricing, including what I consider three budget friendly models which consist of the: XBR830C, XBR800B and the newly released XBR810C.
Looking for a name brand 4K TV with good performance, plenty of features – with a small – yet decent sized picture screen, and with the added bonus of being part of Sony’s premium XBR Series lineup of televisions, all at a cost that won’t break the bank? Then have a look at the XBR49X830C.
Sony’s XBR900C certainly makes a statement with its form factor showcasing its stunning appearance. But what about performance? Can this set provide a picture image that is equally stunning as its design? Or is it just another attractive looking display in the ever expanding 4K UHD landscape. Well, let’s have a look and find out.
Although 4K Ultra HD TVs are getting most of the spotlight in the television industry, 1080p Full HD models remain very popular among consumers, especially for those who aren’t ready or simply not interested in 4K technology.
The 850C Series of Sony’s 4K lineup represents class leading performance and features in the very popular 65″ screen size category of HDTVs. This series is also available in 55″ and 75″ models, and this review can be applied to those units as well.
HDTVs and More typically focuses on reviewing and writing articles about flat panel televisions as the primary means of enjoying a video/media presentation in your home. These displays are available in a variety of screen sizes, ranging anywhere from a very small 27-inches, and all the way up to a large, and I mean very large, 90-inches or more.
Last year Sony made a huge impression on the HDTV industry with their top premium models (950B and 900B). These two displays to this day have provided some of the best 4K images available. In fact, the XBR950B was rated HDTVs and More’ top HDTV pick for 2014.
Sony’s XBR65X800B is part of the company’s premium XBR lineup. This new model was released in December 2014/January 2015; however, it technically isn’t part of their upcoming 2015 model releases which will hit the streets this spring. Nor is it officially part of last year’s 2014 model line.
