As a former owner of the x900h I can attest that Sony software and support is absolute trash and you'll regret it once a firmware update breaks a fundamental feature and it isn't fixed for more than 6 months, without a pip of acknowledgement. And gaming wise the LG stomps on the Sony's.

- They pushed a firmware update that broke local dimming for around 5 months.
- A later software update broke motion in movies for around 5 months.
- The current software version causes constant crashes and reboots and has been out for 3 months.

These issues were widespread and not once did Sony acknowledge any issue, and their support persons are happy to lie to your face just to get you to go away. First they'll tell you that their isn't any issue and have you go through the support motions, then when that doesn't go anywhere they'll discover that a software fix will fix it in an un determinate future just to get you to go away. I've owned most major brands (except hisense and TCL), but my experience with Sony is to the point that I will never ever even consider buying a Sony TV in my lifetime.
