Video Test Results SORT Category───────────RATINGSMixed UsageMoviesTV ShowsSportsVideo GamesHDR MoviesHDR GamingPC Monitor CATEGORY AllDesignPicture QualityMotionInputsSound QualitySmart Features DESIGN Style Curved No The Sony X85J has a nice but simple design. It doesn’t look as premium as the Sony X90J, and it’s mainly plastic, but it looks nice in most decors. The inputs face to the side, which is nice, especially if you wall-mount it. Accelerated Longevity Test Uniformity Pictures Month 00 Blue Cycle through colors LEARN ABOUT ACCELERATED LONGEVITY TEST Stand The stand is nearly identical to the one on the Sony X90J, and it supports the TV well, but there’s a bit of wobble. Unfortunately, like the X90J, the feet aren’t adjustable, but there’s an alternate model known as the X89J that has two stand positions. The 43 inch and 50 inch models appear to have a different stand design, and the feet are closer to the center of the screen. Footprint of the 55 inch stand: 41.9″ x 13.3″. Back Wall Mount VESA 300×300 The back of the TV is nearly identical to the Sony X90J. It has a grid-like pattern across most of the back panel, but unlike the X90J, there’s no brushed aluminum square in the middle. There’s a clip on each leg for cable management. Although pretty basic, it can help to keep the back of your TV neat. Borders Borders 0.39″ (1.0 cm) Thickness Max Thickness 2.87″ (7.3 cm) Due to the direct-lit backlight, this TV is a bit thicker than edge-lit TVs, like the Samsung Q60/Q60A QLED. 7.5Build Quality The Sony X85J has good build quality. It’s entirely plastic, and there’s some noticeable flex on the back panel, especially near the VESA mount and around the bottom edge. There’s also a bit of concerning pull around the border. The TV leans a bit, but this isn’t noticeable from the front at all. The stand supports the TV well overall, but there’s a bit of wobble. PICTURE QUALITY 9.2Contrast Native Contrast 6,308 : 1 Contrast with local dimming N/A The Sony X85J has fantastic contrast, so blacks look black in a dark room. The native contrast of this TV without local dimming is similar to the Sony X90J’s contrast with local dimming, but this varies between units. Note: We’ve seen some reports that the 43 inch model has an IPS panel in some regions. If this is the case, we expect it to have much lower contrast but better viewing angles.

It’s about as bright as the Sony X90J, but not as bright as the Hisense U8G. There’s no noticeable variation in peak brightness with different content, which is great. We measured the SDR brightness after calibration in the ‘Custom’ Picture Mode, with Brightness at max, Contrast at ’90’, and Color Tone set to ‘Expert 1’. If you want a slightly brighter image, the ‘Vivid’ Picture Mode with Contrast at ‘Max’ results in a slightly brighter image, but this mode is less accurate. LEARN ABOUT SDR BRIGHTNESS 0Local Dimming Local Dimming No Backlight Direct Although the Sony X85J uses a direct-lit backlight similar to the Sony X90J, there’s no local dimming feature. The video is for reference only, so you can see how the local dimming feature on other displays compares to one without local dimming. If you prefer something with local dimming, then look into the TCL 5 Series/S546 2021 QLED. LEARN ABOUT LOCAL DIMMING 0Local Dimming In Game Mode Local Dimming No Backlight Direct Unlike the Sony X90J, this TV doesn’t have a local dimming feature.

It’s bright enough to deliver an impact HDR experience with most content, but small highlights aren’t bright enough to stand out the way the director intended. Unfortunately, the TV doesn’t follow the EOTF curve properly, as most scenes are brighter than they’re supposed to be. It’s not as bad as the Hisense U8G, but it’s not ideal if you care about an accurate image. It also cuts off sharply at the TV’s peak brightness, resulting in a loss of fine details in bright scenes. If you want to make HDR content brighter and don’t mind losing image accuracy, change to the ‘Vivid’ Picture Mode, and set Contrast to ‘Max’. These settings result in a much brighter image, as you can see in this EOTF plot. We measured the HDR brightness in the ‘Custom’ Picture Mode, before calibrating the TV, with Brightness at max, Contrast at ’90’, and Color Tone set to ‘Expert 2’.

Dev.) 0.082 Green (Std. Dev.) 0.109 Blue (Std. Dev.) 0.077 Gray (Std. Dev.) 0.089 The Sony X85J has excellent gradient handling. There’s some banding in darker shades, especially greens, but it’s not very noticeable with most content. It has a less powerful image processor than the Sony X90J, and it doesn’t have a smooth gradation feature or other options to remove banding. LEARN ABOUT GRADIENT 7.9Gray Uniformity 50% Std.

The sides of the screen are a bit darker than the center, but there’s very little dirty screen effect, great for sports fans. Near-dark scenes look even better, with no noticeable issues at all. LEARN ABOUT GRAY UNIFORMITY 8.6Black Uniformity Native Std. Dev. 0.742% Std. Dev. w/ L.D. N/A The unit we tested has excellent black uniformity, but this can vary between units. There’s a bit of cloudiness in the screen, which you can’t reduce as there’s no local dimming, but this isn’t very noticeable in most content. LEARN ABOUT BLACK UNIFORMITY 5.5Viewing Angle Color Washout 29° Color Shift 36° Brightness Loss 37° Black Level Raise 10° Gamma Shift 16° Unfortunately, as expected of a VA-type panel, the Sony X85J’s viewing angles are disappointing. Colors stay accurate to a wider angle than the Hisense U8G, but dark shades look washed out at a narrow angle. A TV with an IPS-type panel, like the LG NANO90 2021, is a better choice for a wide seating arrangement. Note: We’ve seen some reports that the 43 inch model has an IPS panel in some regions. If this is the case, we expect it to have much better viewing angles but worse contrast. LEARN ABOUT VIEWING ANGLE 7.1Reflections Screen Finish Semi-gloss Total Reflections 5.7% Indirect Reflections 0.7% Calculated Direct Reflections 5.1% The Sony X85J has decent reflection handling. The semi-gloss finish reduces the intensity of direct reflections a bit without smearing them across the screen. Bright lights can still be distracting, but overall we don’t expect visibility to be an issue in most environments. LEARN ABOUT REFLECTIONS 9.0Pre Calibration White Balance dE 1.06 Color dE 1.72 Gamma 2.21 Color Temperature 6,614 K Picture Mode Custom Color Temp Setting Expert 1 Gamma Setting 0 Out of the box, the Sony X85J is remarkably accurate. Gamma is very close to our target of 2.2, and the white balance is nearly perfect. There are some inaccurate colors, especially highly saturated blues, but they’re close enough to the targets that we don’t expect most people to notice them. Note that the exact accuracy out of the box can vary between units. LEARN ABOUT PRE CALIBRATION 9.4Post Calibration White Balance dE 0.31 Color dE 1.45 Gamma 2.20 Color Temperature 6,512 K White Balance Calibration 10 point Color Calibration No Calibration improved the white balance and gamma to near perfection, but as there’s no color calibration on this TV, we weren’t able to correct any of the color issues. You can see our recommended settings here. LEARN ABOUT POST CALIBRATION 8.0480p Input We didn’t notice any issues upscaling 480p content like DVDs. 8.0720p Input 720p content, including most cable TV stations, is upscaled well by the Sony X85J, with no noticeable issues. 9.01080p Input Like most TVs we’ve tested, 1080p content looks almost as good as native 4k content. 104k Input 4k content is displayed perfectly, with no noticeable issues. 08k Input This is a 4k TV that won’t accept an 8k signal. Pixels Subpixel Layout BGR Type LED Sub-Type VA Like most TVs on the market, the Sony X85J uses a BGR (Blue-Green-Red) subpixel layout instead of the traditional Red-Green-Blue layout. For video content, this doesn’t cause any issues, but it causes text clarity issues with some programs when used as a PC monitor.

It can display nearly the entire DCI P3 color space used by most current HDR content, but it falls short on highly saturated greens, although this won’t be very noticeable with most content. It also has okay coverage of the wider Rec. 2020 color space, but it’s not as good as the Hisense U8G. The X85J we tested displays a wider color gamut than the Sony X90J, which is unexpected. This can vary between units, though, and the difference isn’t very noticeable. We found that the X90J has better tone mapping, and in person, with real content, the X90J looks better.

It’s limited by the incomplete color gamut and, like most LCDs on the market, blues aren’t as bright as other colors. Thanks to the high contrast ratio, this TV can display dark, saturated colors well, but not as well as the Hisense U8G.

LEARN ABOUT PERMANENT BURN-IN RISK MOTION 8.2Response Time 80% Response Time 4.0 ms 100% Response Time 11.7 ms The Sony X85J has a great response time, resulting in very clear motion, with negligible blur behind fast-moving objects. Transitions in dark scenes look better than most VA panels, but there’s still some black smearing behind dark objects. There’s very little overshoot in any transition. LEARN ABOUT RESPONSE TIME 10Flicker-Free Flicker-Free Yes PWM Dimming Frequency 0 Hz The Sony X85J uses direct (DC) dimming to dim the backlight. Like the Sony X850G, there’s some noise at very low backlight levels, but this isn’t noticeable at all, and the backlight never turns completely off. It’s different from the Sony X90J, which uses Pulse-Width Modulation (PWM) to dim the backlight. PWM can bother some people, as it can cause eye fatigue or headaches.

Like the Sony X90J, it can only flicker at 120Hz, which can cause duplications when watching 60Hz content. Note that our scoring is based only on the refresh rates that support BFI and don’t reflect how effective it is. LEARN ABOUT BLACK FRAME INSERTION (BFI) Motion Interpolation Motion Interpolation (30 fps) Yes Motion Interpolation (60 fps) Yes The Sony X85J has an optional motion interpolation feature that can improve the appearance of lower frame-rate content. Subjectively, it seems to perform well, but we did notice some artifacts in busier scenes. LEARN ABOUT MOTION INTERPOLATION 7.1Stutter Frame Hold Time @ 24 fps 30.0 ms Frame Hold Time @ 60 fps 5.0 ms Due to the fast response time of this TV, there is some noticeable stutter when watching movies. It’s mainly noticeable in slow panning shots. If stutter bothers you, enabling motion interpolation can help to reduce it, but this can introduce the soap opera effect, which some people don’t like.
