XH90 VRR Support?

markAngel — Thu, 19 Nov 2020 02:27:33 GMT

Hi everyone, i bought this TV because it was saying “PS5 Ready”. The TV is not “ready” at all and after the update its worse, it’s slower on software, it crushes on app and software also sometime, the 4k120hz its FAKE actually is washing your pixels (like you are looking on 720p not even 1080p), sometimes it doesn’t turning on.... but the most interesting is that PS5 doesnt support VRR at all, lol.

Need an answer, otherwise i have to return it.

Hi,

Engineers are looking into this already. Quality should improve with the next FW release.

Cheers

Peter

VRR support on the PS5 itself will be coming in a later firmware.

PS5: The Ultimate FAQ – PlayStation.Blog

"Does PS5 support VRR?
PS5 hardware supports Variable Refresh Rate (VRR) through HDMI 2.1. After a future system software update, PS5 owners will be able to use the VRR feature of compatible TVs when playing games that support VRR."

Hi,

just to add to the issue, 3 days ago sony usa updated the table with 2.1 specs.

As you can see XH90 (XBR X900H / 90CH) does not contain VRR / ALLM.

Now, if SONY quietly pulled the plug of the feature it is at least anti consumer by their side. I mean, we all bought this model for 4k/120 fps/VRR/ALLM.

Get ready for many angry calls from my side to Sony GR.

Also, attaching the screen cap that until today at least, Sony GR advertises the future update

Hi all

I have a ps5 and am looking for a new TV and saw this deal on the XH92

https://centresdirect.co.uk/p-38576-sony-bravia-kd55xh9296bu-55-full-array-led-4k-hdr-android-tv.aspx

Would you guys suggest I hold off on purchasing this TV since I want the latest hdmi 2.1 features and the best TV for my money. £850 is very tempting but the offer ends today. Also not sure how reputable this store is. Says Sony Centre tho.

I am not sure if rumors are true about the update. If you plan on gaming
with the TV, ps5 or xsx, Vrr is really important feature and potential
absence is a deal breaker for me. Sony not responding is a warning sign.
For the future, I will never trust promised future updates for sure. I
mean the tv released in summer and it has been 6 months.

Can the xh90 display 4k @120hz natively on a per pixel vertical line basis? Or not? Yes or no ?

Hey Banksy74, I didn't see any mention of this in the specs, could you maybe elaborate more?

The xh90 (uk) has been advertised as being able to display 4k @ 120hz for
fast clear motion. Unfortunately so far although the motion is smooth ,
clear it is not. I have read many sources from renowned experts regarding
the so called 4k @ 120hz burr. I have myslef played destiny 2 and some of
the horizontal lines character bars etc flicker and shimmer and have what
is know as the rope effect. In tests it seems like the sony xh90 can not do
native 4k @ 120hz and in tests the results conclude it as of now can not
do per pixel resolution on the vertical lines. Is this a hardware issue ?
Or software and is this TV able to fully do 4k at 120hz ?

For what it's worth, Sony is claiming native 4K @ 120Hz. I haven't seen any disclaimers or asterisks to hint at any limitations. So the best you can do is just report the problem to Sony. The more samples they get the faster an action is taken or explanation provided

Again images that prove as of now it can not ? If this TV is not able to do as advertised is this not cause for a refund due to false advertising? As the main reason I bought this tv was this specific capability!. It is advertised as being able to do 120hz for smooth clear motion , clear it is not.

Hi Banksy74, I noticed that these pics aren't from your TV? If you have a problem yourself could you elaborate more maybe we can help? Also make sure you have the latest software version, you can get it from the support page by putting the full model of your TV and hit search then go to downloads, or type it here and I'll help you out. On the other hand what I know about the returning policy is that you have to take it to your retailer.
