Sony’s 2020 4K HDR TVs are up for pre-order starting at $700

Sony offered up a slew of new TVs for 2020 when it revealed its lineup at CES 2020, and now we have the first set of prices and pre-order information for two of these new models: The X800H 4K HDR LED TV and the higher-end X950H 4K HDR LED TV.

Here’s how the new models, sizes, and prices stack up:

X800H 4K HDR LED TV

  • 85-inch: $2,700
  • 75-inch: $1,800
  • 65-inch: $1,200
  • 55-inch: $1,000
  • 49-inch: $750
  • 43-inch: $700

You can

pre-order the X800H from Amazon right now,

or from other authorized Sony retailers.

Sony didn’t say much about the X800H at the show in Las Vegas, but it’s a highly capable TV. It uses Sony’s 4K HDR processor X1 and 4K X-Reality Pro technologies which improve how 4K HDR images are displayed and also provide excellent upscaling of non-4K material.

Both Dolby Vision and HDR10 are supported for maximum HDR compatibility, and Dolby Atmos is supported, too. All of Sony’s 2020 TVs are Android TVs, which means they have Google Assistant onboard and accessible via the voice button on the included smart remote. You can Chromecast to the TV using an Android device, but Apple AirPlay 2 means Apple device owners get the same screen-sharing abilities, too.

As a smart TV, it’s also fairly impressive. Beyond the hundreds of apps supported by Android TV, there’s also Amazon Alexa compatibility which lets you take control over the TV’s functions using an Echo smart speaker or any other Alexa-powered device. With Apple’s HomeKit, the X800H can be added to a variety of automated functions using HomeKit’s scenes.

X950H 4K HDR LED TV

  • 85-inch: $5,000
  • 49-inch: $1,200

Like the X800H, you can

pre-order the X950H through Amazon, too.

The X950H will, of course, be available in additional sizes, but Sony says it won’t be announcing pricing or availability until a later date.

The X950H series definitely takes performance up several notches from the X800H. As Sony’s top-performing 4K LED TV, it uses the company’s X1 Ultimate picture processor — the same chip used in its 8K models. X-tended Dynamic Range Pro takes care of making HDR images look their best — with Dolby Vision and HDR10 supported.

The X950H also benefits from Sony’s acoustic multi-audio design, which places tweeters behind the screen — but at a higher point — to give a more realistic sound for elements like dialog. Dolby Atmos rounds out its audio chops.

Just like the X800H, all of the smart TV features are here, including Android TV, Google Assistant, Alexa-compatibility and both AirPlay 2 and Apple HomeKit, but the X950H takes this further with hands-free Google voice commands. No more reaching for the remote to ask for your next Netflix show.

It’s still early in 2020, so you can expect that we’ll get more Sony 2020 TV model pricing and availability details in the coming weeks. When that happens, we’ll update this post so you have it all in one place.

Walmart says Onn 4K Pro will eventually only ship with a backlit remote

The great mystery of the Walmart remote control has been solved. Mostly. As you'll recall from our Onn 4K Pro Streaming Device review, ours came with a remote control that doesn't have backlit buttons and also lacks an unsightly "Free TV" button. But some folks who also got in early on the $50 Google TV device had a different remote control — one whose buttons do light up, and with a big blue "Free TV" button in the middle.

TCL already wowed us at CES 2024 with its astonishingly bright and immense QM89 115-inch mini-LED TV, so all that was really left for the company to do was tell us how much it would cost to own one of these monsters. Today, we have that information, along with details on the rest of TCL's 2024 TV lineup.

Samsung prices its entry-level S85D OLED TV starting at $1,700
Samsung S85D 4K OLED TV.

In January, Samsung teased that it would be adding a new line of OLED TVs priced below the S95D and S90D. That new model is the S85D and we now know that it will come in 55-, 65-, and 77-inch sizes, with prices starting at $1,700. This puts Samsung and LG on an even playing field in terms of OLED pricing, at least as it relates to LG's OLED C4 lineup.

Samsung has also confirmed new sizes for its S90D OLED TV, which will now be available in tiny (42-inch) and huge (83-inch) versions in addition to the previously announced 48-, 55-, 65-, and 77-inch models.
