    Highly reccommend this TV. I bought the 85X90L Seconds^ and have been very impressed. Colours are really nice and look accurate, Dolby Vision Dark looks great for night watching. Barely notice any blooming, even with white text on black. On delivery it was missing the antenna jack… took me 5 phone calls to convice Sony it was their problem. They're replacing it tomorrow.

    The inbuilt Android TV OS was too slow for me. My previous set up had a 2017 Nvidia Shield which was much faster. I bought an Apple TV 4K this time and love it.

      Sounds more like a feature than a fault. My antenna has not been connected since we had a female prime minister. And even then it was a DVR, not the TV.

      But +1 on Apple TV over the built-in. They save a couple of dollars by putting in an under-powered ARM chip.

      • spiderbite88 on 02/04/2024 - 15:34

        Agreed. I haven't watched free to air in years. It's purely for future resale sake.

        They save a couple of dollars by putting in an under-powered ARM chip.

        This is the bit that irks me. Most of the cost is for the screen which should last a decade or two.

        In five years time it would be nice to be able to upgrade the internal computer box, rather than buying an external box (e.g.Vodafone TV) I have for the second TV.

        I would even accept a smart box that clipped onto the rear of the TV connected a USB C cable to provide power and transmit the TV signal.

        • Alzori on 02/04/2024 - 16:51

          Besides using a different remote, what's the downside of using an external box like the Vodafone TV or Nvidia Shield? They basically seem to be the solution you're describing aside from not clipping to your TV.

          • mathew42 on 02/04/2024 - 22:11

            @Alzori: I see your point.

            The main frustration is if you have a couple of devices connected (e.g. play station and blu-ray player) then it is just a level of annoyance. Adjusting volume may also not work.

      • fredblogs on 03/04/2024 - 20:32

        I've got a Sony X95G around 5yrs old and Android OS seems fairly snappy. Surely the ARM chip in that is worse than this one?

  • lachhelix on 02/04/2024 - 15:23

      Literally missing the port on the TV, as in it had broken off. Annoying part was convincing Sony it arrived like that. Maybe if I took a video of me opening the box and then zoom in on the ports.

    Had an x90k delivered box damaged and the whole TV had a badly destroyed screen. Took ages to get a refund. Avoid.

    • Maths Debater on 02/04/2024 - 19:19

      Because there are muppets spreading misinformation saying it's Sony's way of discounting their TV's without upsetting their retailers. Please do not believe this nonsense, it's simply false. Box damaged means it has been damaged in transit and they're selling it for a discounted price as is and generally, sight unseen. It's basically a lottery more or less. Some people do get lucky and end up with very minimal/no damage. Refurb on the other hand are TV's taken back from the customer, repaired and resold.

    What is the legal warranty situation on refurb items sold as brand new?

    • chiprillis on 02/04/2024 - 16:06

      "What warranty is provided on purchases?

      All items available to purchase on the Official Sony eBay Store are covered by a full 12 month Sony manufacturer warranty from Sony. Sony provides invoices on all purchases via an email with a PDF."

      • zombrex on 02/04/2024 - 16:12
        +1

        12 months is very short for a television and I am aware Sony wrote that.
        I'm curious in regards to ACCC and how refurb items are viewed under consumer law. I have searched without finding a definitive answer.

        • BuzzBuzzBuzz on 02/04/2024 - 18:21
          +1

          Condition New: Never Used: An item in excellent, new condition with no wear. The item may be missing the original packaging or protective wrapping, or may be in the original packaging but not sealed. The item includes original accessories. The item may be a factory second (i.e. it has a small flaw that does not affect the operation of the item such as a scratch or dent).

          You'd have a hard time convincing me that based on the way they've chosen to advertise their condition that expecting them to be of equal durability to a brand new TV is unreasonable.

      Same here - I bought a 'box damaged' 55" OLED from them around the same time and no issues. Seems like it's hit and miss

  • fishnchipsncoke on 02/04/2024 - 16:10

    Been waiting for a long time to get a decent price in the x90l.

    Is boxed damaged literally just that? Do they know the product is as new, just with some damage on box?

    • knasty on 02/04/2024 - 16:17
      +3

      Be careful. My X90K from a similar sale last year arrived dead on arrival. They supposedly check every item before it goes out the door but mine had a motherboard error preventing the unit form even turning on, but zero box damage so it didn't appear to have happened during transit. If you're happy to take the risk I did find the return process relatively straightforward at least.

      • fishnchipsncoke on 02/04/2024 - 19:24

        I mean. If I have to return it or whatever then so be it. I trust that I'll be refunded through eBay plus if it's broken tv for whatever reason.

        Willing to take the risk for 30% saving.

        Thanks for your feedback.

  • zxcvb on 02/04/2024 - 16:16

    I don't know about the box damage/refurb as I never have purchased one that is.

    However recently I purchased Sony 75X85L FALD after I got tired of waiting for a good deal on TCL C845. The Sony is spectacular, I'm super happy with it. So X90L must be even better with more dimming zones. Just my 2c.

  • alikazi on 02/04/2024 - 16:20

    Although the deals look good, be aware that Sony customer service especially through eBay is absolutely garbage. I got my gf a brand new TV from their eBay store and it had a motherboard issue. My requests for return and/or repair were completely ignored for a month. Any phone calls I made their customer service would tell me they'll forward the request to the eBay team and nothing would come of it. A few times they scheduled a repair and the person wouldn't show up and the cycle would start again. I think I raised a havoc with Sony HQ, name and shame on social media thats when the faulty motherboard was finally repaired. IIRC eBay was also of no help. My gf spent more than a month without her brand new TV.

    This is pre eBay Plus days so may be the service has improved a bit but I wouldn't risk purchasing a seconds TV from Sony.

    • fishnchipsncoke on 02/04/2024 - 19:21

      Yeah. Well I have eBay plus, I don't really see why they wouldn't refund me for a broken product. They have with everything else I've needed too. Don't mind waiting a month.

      • alikazi on 02/04/2024 - 20:09

        There are no refunds for the hours you will spend sorting out a return or repair + the frustrations you will experience.

    Sharing my experience on a damaged box deal I jumped on from Sony late last year for the X90L 65 inch.

    Box arrived in amazing condition. Barely a dent on it. Unfortunately the box was in better condition than the TV..front of TV was properly smashed.

    Contacted Sony for a refund who said they don't cover damaged screens 🙄 had to get ebay involved. Took over a month for a refund.

    Good luck!

      @penguin969 during that month, was the TV just sitting in your lounge room?

  • blonky on 02/04/2024 - 16:52

    Have the X90K and absolutely love it, think this is the latest version and gets even brighter, or at least until the newer 2024 models are released around May

    Had a reasonably straightforward experience with Sony support last month - TV had a very minor grey spot (most wouldn't notice but I'm picky) so I logged a support ticket with them online. A week later they sent out a tech (SSS) who replaced the panel in my living room

    • tekisei on 02/04/2024 - 16:57

      Did you buy from the eBay store or some other retailer/Sony Online.

    Sony XR65X90K X90K (Seconds^) $1169

    I FOMO'd and rolled the dice for the Box Damaged 65" X90L $1599 (and another $40 off due to Gift Card), which to be fair is almost ATL ($1496 from Sony, or $1496 + $50 Delivery from TGG).

      They give your money back. Or possibly replace with similar if they have it.

      Mine arrived and the box damage looked like a forklift fork had gone through the back of the box … and unfortunately had also gone through the back of the tv.

    I got a factory second off them back in 2022 and the top of the screen was pushed back in past the bezel of the frame. They took ages to respond and come with a remedy, so ended up using a suction cup to pull it back into the frame so I had a functional TV. Despite looking perfect after, I was not happy to risk it dying prematurely after warranty and eventually got a refund from them. Definitely factor this in before taking the gamble as they have zero quality control.

    Hey everyone, just wanted to say I got the 55 X90L box dates off eBay delivery today. Unboxed it (box looked fine) tv was pristine.

    All setup now and it's perfect. Also gotta say it's an absolutely fantastic image.

    Watched a chunk of Skyfall whilst going through all the settings to adjust to my preferences and man it's impressive. Over the moon with this tv for $1299.

    I'm replacing a LG cs55 OLED I got on another ozbargain deal. I Cracked it whilst moving recently.

    I'm so impressed with the Sony. Picture is just crystal clear.

    Anyway my point is I took the "risk" some of you say is a stupid purchase and I couldn't be happier.

    Don't hesitate guys. It's a beautiful tv for the price.

      • fishnchipsncoke on 08/04/2024 - 19:25

    Would like to report that my 65" X90L came with dents on the top of the box (someone dropped something angular and heavy on it) and the inner top foam obviously crushed in one area.

    The TV itself is in great working condition and screen and ports all perfect. Manufacturing date Dec 2023.
