Your second batch of pics, regular viewing content looks good/normal (viewing thru pics on my phone anyway). I get it, the first batch of pics looks bad and uneven, but it only a start up screen, no big deal. I would try to find a scene in a movie, show or maybe even a game with mostly black content on the screen with a bright object, (maybe a dark sky and a bright moon) and compare it to those start up screen pics. If you have similar results, yeah the 900f’s performance should be way better. Also I’m pretty sure all Sony’s w/local dimming have 4 settings for its Local Dimming algorithm. (My Z9D has this) High, Med., Low, Off. Check the settings.
Thank you.
Tried all local dimming setting but it’s not addressing the issue.
The flashy cloudy picture while loading netflix or while rebooting is normal. your blooming while watching content looks also normal to me and its more noticeable in HDR than in SDR, because in HDR you crank up all the brightness and contrast.
Blooming is unpreventable when a TV has this number of dimming zones.
The blooming on my X900F does not bother me, in my opinion it is not distracting at all while watching content, because my eyes get dazzled anyway by the source of light which is causing the blooming, in total i would have to focus my eyes to the blooming spot to see it, but i just dont do this while watching. I hope you guys understand what i try to say xD
Thank you.
I have been doing some research on this for mixed results. There are many reports of no backlight bleeding issues on start up and Netflix screen or content viewing. But there are many who are experiencing the same issue. I wonder if this is a legitimate issue that is hampering the pic quality of this tv and some people are not noticing it or accepting it as normal. They could be getting a better pic quality to the full potential of this tv but people don’t know it.
Here is a link to better examples of backlight bleeding.
The regular content in your images doesn’t look too bad, but you’re right, during the startup phase it looks pretty bad. We have seen some reports that the local dimming feature doesn’t work during app and system startup. Does adjusting the local dimming setting help at all?
Thanks for your response Adam.
Yes, I have tried all local dimming settings and doesn’t resolve the issue. This is a FALD Tv And it shouldn’t be doing this.
Here is a link to images on more noticeable blooming referencing light background on black.
I was wondering if people or someone in rtings have experiencee backlight bleeding or blooming issues on their Sony X900F TV on Sony restart start up screen, Netflix start up screen and streaming content (HD, HDR or Dolby vision) or through a HD box via HDMI connection.
I am having this issue on my first tv I purchased on 23rd Dec, and a replacement unit on Sunday 16th Dec and both TVs have the severe blooming issue. The sales guys at my local electronic store in a Australia have had a look at pics of the issue and agree both X900F appear to be faulty and they may have a faulty batch. They suggested to buy another tv and I was thinking about getting the Panasonic FZ950 OLED Tv but would like to confirm with rtings if this is normal or not and whether I should move to the FZ950 OLED or give the X900F another chance. I will be using he tv mainly for Sport content such as EPL and cricket and some movies and Netflix stuff.
Thank you.
