My recommendation for the best Sony 65 inch TV is the Sony X90J Series. This model offers everything you can desire in a modern TV with the best picture quality and a fantastic sound system. It is also future-proof allowing you to upgrade the TV to a 4K HDR X1 Extreme picture with a dedicated sound bar. The X90J series is the flagship TV from Sony and I think it is the best 65 inch TV for the money.
It is HDR compatible, has Google’s Android TV operating system, and a powerful soundbar that provides an immersive theater-like experience. It has a number of different HDMI ports, USB ports, and a dedicated headphone output for an even more personalized experience.

The Sonys are the best screws for Sonys and the only ones that worked for me. The Sony xbr65x850c and xbr55x850c are compatible with these screws. I had two of these TVs, one that had the stand attached with these screws, and the other one with the same TV but with different screws(some Chinese ones I bought at the local electronics store). I could not mount the stand on the one with the Chinese screws. They just wouldn’t tighten.
I returned the TV with the Chinese screws, and bought another one with these screws. They worked perfectly for me. Here’s the link below for them.
Tips for Choosing the sony xbr65x850c
The 65-inch Sony XBR65X850C offers a lot of value for the price. It has a 4K resolution, great HDR compatibility, and a sleek design. The only real downside is that it lacks a backlight called FALD or local dimming that gives some other TVs a more pronounced contrast.
Still, for the price, it’s a great choice for someone who is looking for a big 4K TV that won’t break the bank.
What to Look for in a 4K TV
When buying a new TV, there are a few things you’ll want to keep in mind. The first is, of course, the size. If you want a 4K TV, odds are you’ll want it to be at least 40 inches.
There are some smaller 4K panels out there, but they don’t have the same resolution as larger models. That said, if you’re on a budget, you can’t really beat the 32-inch TCL 32S3830.
TCL 32S3830: The Best Budget 4K TV
TCL 32S3830: The Best Budget 4K TV
Next is the screen resolution. We mentioned before that a 4K panel has a resolution of 3840 x 2160 pixels.
That means that a 4K panel has double the resolution of a 1080p panel, which has 1920 x 1080 pixels.
1080p is still a very popular panel, and many people find that 1080p panels offer plenty of resolution for their needs.
Finally, you’ll want to think about the panel technology used in the TV. OLED is one of the newest technologies out there, and it offers the best contrast.
It’s also very thin, which is great for your viewing experience. LCD is the most popular panel technology, and it’s used in most 4K TVs.
It has a great range, but it can’t compare to OLED in terms of contrast and black levels.
How We Reviewed 4K TVs
When we review 4K TVs, we consider a few things. The first is the overall picture quality.
We look at the color, contrast, brightness, and sharpness of the panels. We also look at the type of HDR found in the TV.
HDR is essential for any 4K TV
