help Sony X900B FAQ
Why does the Sony X900B have a wedge-shaped design?
Sony used the wedge-shaped body to make room for large front-facing magnetic-fluid speakers. The 2014 Bravia X900B was designed to combine a thin upper section with more substantial built-in audio hardware.
What screen sizes were sold in the Sony X900B series?
The X900B family included 55-inch, 65-inch, and 79-inch 4K models. Model names such as XBR-55X900B identify the screen size and belong to Sony's 2014 Bravia lineup.
Can the Sony X900B accept a 4K signal over HDMI?
Yes, Sony's specifications list 4096 x 2160 at 24p on HDMI inputs 2 and 3. That makes it suitable for some 4K movie sources, but it is not a modern HDMI 2.1 television.
Is the Sony X900B suitable for 4K gaming on a PS5 or Xbox Series X?
The X900B predates HDMI 2.1 and cannot provide modern 4K at 120 Hz. It can still display 4K video and older console output, but current consoles will not use their full 4K/120 gaming capability.
