While the manufacturer often keeps to its word, we've repeatedly warned buyers to proceed with caution in case it fails to deliver. While we expect Sony to clarify the situation soon, stay wary if in the market for a new 4K TV. The company still references plans to provide both technologies across some listings, but contrasts recent changes made to its support pages, and responses from support representatives (via Stop the FOMO on YouTube). However, it's yet to deliver these features over half a year after release, leaving us hesitant to recommend either TV in 2021.

Sony is yet to officially confirm the cancellation of VRR and ALLM support for the X900H and XH90 series.

The Xbox Series X already boasts the features, with the PlayStation 5 also scheduled to deliver both in a future update.

While these won't impact movie watching, they're huge components of the latest-generation experience for console and PC. ALLM also targets gaming, allowing compatible TVs to adjust the picture, keeping games latency-free. VRR looks to eliminate screen tearing, adapting your display's refresh rate to that of outputted content. HDMI 2.1 remains crucial to PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X owners, providing the bandwidth to support 4K resolution up to 120Hz, alongside these new display features like VRR and ALLM. Sony did not immediately respond to a request for comment. But the latest changes in support documentation suggest Sony could be walking back those claims, with growing concern among existing owners of the 4K TVs.

Sony instead promised these for post-launch firmware updates, with 120Hz arriving last October, but VRR and ALLM remain absent. That included 4K resolution and 120Hz refresh rate, even stamped with the "Ready for PlayStation 5" tagline as an official seal of approval.īut unlike many of the best 4K TVs for Xbox Series X and PlayStation 5 throughout 2020, the X900H and XH90 lacked support for 4K at 120Hz refresh rates, variable refresh rate (VRR), and auto low latency mode (ALLM) support out of the box. The 4K duo found themselves among the frontrunners headed into the next generation of consoles, supporting the standout features for PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X. The Sony X900H (and the X90H in Europe) have emerged staple TVs in the 2020 lineup, regarded among the best LED displays on the market.
