The TV supports both HDR10 and Dolby Vision, uses a simple 2.0 channels audio system and comes with Google TV but unfortunately misses a few features that we saw in the higher tier releases. To put things into context the X85J is an amalgamation of the X90J and X80J as it borrows characteristics from both of them.īut from a first look the X85J is a LED LCD TV using a 100/120Hz VA panel with a Direct LED backlight system and processing duties are handled by the less capable X1 HDR processor. The X800H and X900H that did release in the US have their own direct replacements so it comes as a surprise that in 2021 Sony decided to include this one in their US release schedule. The X85J replaces last year’s XH85 but that model never released in the US market as it was available only in Europe along with some other markets across the globe.

And in our Sony X85J review we will be testing the last model belonging in the XR series and will determine if it is a worthy entry in this year’s lineup. Today we continue our venture into Sony TVs land and we will be looking at another mid-tier 2021 offering from the Japanese manufacturer as these seem to hold a big part in the consumer market trying to combine good features with low prices.
