It is not easy to make a mid-range TV that looks great. It must be more attractive than cheaper TVs and still affordable enough to fit within most people’s budget. The good news is that it’s affordable. The Sony X950G – Sony X950g 65 Black Friday Deals 2022 also known as the Sony XG95 or X95G in Australia – is the perfect compromise between price and visual performance. It offers just enough visual panache for its mid-range price. Bad news: The bad news?
The speaker design and placement of the speakers is a key feature of the Sony X950G. This system Sony calls Acoustic Multi-Audio. This is the idea behind Acoustic Multi-Audio. The TV uses two down-firing speakers, and two tweeters at the top and bottom of the screen to create the illusion that sound is emanating from the centre of the screen. Surprisingly, it does work. This makes sound seem more centered.
There is a significant power difference between the top-firing woofers (bottom) and the top-firing tweeters (top), which can cause distortion and sound imbalance when the volume is increased. We’ll be covering more details in another section, but suffice to say that the design of the X950G is not the most appealing. It has a slim bezel and metal legs that attach to its back. The TV will need to be held in a large entertainment center. However, the legs are extremely strong and prevent it from rocking.
The legs come with a channel that hides cables from the back to help manage cable clutter. Although the final result isn’t as neat as Samsung’s QLED TVs, which have a t-shaped stand design, it’s still a great solution.

The Sony X950G has a full-array panel that features local dimming. This design decision greatly enhances contrast and reduces blooming. The performance section will cover the benefits of full-array, but it is worth mentioning here because the TV can be quite thick. Turn the TV to the back and the IO connections will be visible. The X950G features four HDMI ports. The third port offers ARC/eARC support, which is crucial for controlling your soundbar. There are also two USB ports. This is a great selection of ports, and there should be enough space for all your devices.
The X950G ships equipped with a new remote control. The new remote is slim and long with a brushed metallic finish and good heft. You will find playback controls, numbers buttons, a directional pad and a Google Assistant button. This button can be set to always listening or press-to listen. Although there are two quick access buttons to Netflix and Google Play, they are still useful. Design TL;DRSony made some poor decisions regarding the TV’s speaker design but the TV itself is great. Android TV is divisive for both users and reviewers. While some people like the platform’s row-centric design and others don’t mind it, others are unable to stand its inability to respond and bugginess.
Google has made some minor improvements to help you find content more easily. Sony clearly focused on the hardware to make it easier to access content. According to Sony documentation, the X950G is up to 60% faster that previous generation Sony smart TVs. Key services such as Netflix and YouTube start up 60% and 50% quicker, respectively. Although it is difficult to gauge this kind of speed at home, we felt that apps opened faster and were more stable than any other Sony smart televisions we have used.

This operating system has a speed boost, which is a great perk. But so is support for Amazon Prime Video (a new addition after Google and Amazon made amends) and Alexa support on external devices. You can still use Google Assistant which is built into the remote. It integrates at a system-level. Android TV supports streaming services from most of the major providers, including Netflix, Hulu and YouTube. This list grows even more when you consider all of the apps that can now be cast from your smartphone or tablet via the TV’s Chromecast Built in functionality and the imminent arrival Apple AirPlay which will allow you to mirror any content from your Apple devices.
Smart TV TL:DRWhile it’s likely to cause division, Android TV on the Sony X950G runs faster than ever and is more stable than ever. Soon, AirPlay support will be available to go with its Chromecast Built in feature. The best way to describe X950G’s image quality is, right out of the box, “natural”. It isn’t flashy. It isn’t too bright. The colors aren’t too saturated. This is a natural image with great black levels and subdued colors. It is perfect for HD/SDR content. You will need to upscale everything you see in HD/SDR to near-4K. This is where the X1 Ultimate processor from Sony (an upgrade to the X1 Extreme in the X900F) as well as its proprietary Reality Creation engine, come in.
Reality Creation, Sony’s upscaling program, isn’t too complicated. Sony claims that as image data enters the processor, it is compared with a local image database. For example, a scene depicting a sky might be compared to an image from Sony’s database. The matching process can make the image appear more real when it is upscaled. It can also help with color gradation issues, sharpen edges and even fix fuzzy edges. This task is very CPU-intensive and the X950G handles it with ease.
We really liked the TV’s natural images. If you want to add a little more color to your images, you can turn on Live Color in picture settings. This mode is available for HD/SDR content and adds a little more color saturation to your image. It also helps to make the image pop in a way that grabs your attention. It was briefly used during the Blu-ray movies Baby Driver and The Breakfast Club. They were able to achieve a faux HDR effect. Although it’s not recommended for everyone, it was certainly a useful option.
We want to focus on motion, which is another area where the Sony X950G (and the X1 Ultimate) really excel. That’s due to the X-Motion Clarity feature (the same feature you get on the significantly more expensive Sony Z9G) that uses object-based black frame insertion and backlight boosting instead of Black Frame Insertion in motion interpolation. This is where the processor scans two frames and finds the areas in which an object is moving. The processor then blacks out the area rather than the entire screen. While both techniques work, Sony X950g 65 Black Friday Deals 2022 X-Motion Clarity tends to be more effective in making the image clearer and smoother without reducing its brightness.
