    Reviewers from rtings have found the following***:
    The Sony X800H is a decent overall TV. It can get bright in SDR and displays 480p, 720p, 1080p, and 4k content well. The viewing angles are great if you plan on putting this TV in a wide room. With an incredibly low input lag and good response time, this TV performs best for sports or video games.

    The X800H's overall image with most material is within hailing distance of some of Sony's more expensive TVs. It's hands-down the smoothest image I've ever seen from a 60hz set when the settings are tweaked. Sony has also done some work on the settings menu, with inline help explaining the settings.

    Pros
    • Excellent image quality
