Product Overview

The X70 is Sony's bare-bones 4K smart TV for the European markets. It does away with Sony's advanced image processing engine but is otherwise very similar to the X750H offered in the NA market.
For broader image- and audio-processing support, Sony markets the XH80 (X800H). For full-array LED backlighting, there is the XH90 (X900H).
