Best praise vs top criticism for Sony X950H

Best Praise

I went through this when I had my theater built and settled on an 85" Sony X950H and loved it, but always felt like I was missing out on the theater experience. A couple of years later, I pulled the trigger on an Epson 5050UB and 110" motorized Elite Screens tab-tension screen that drops in front of the TV and couldn't be happier. If I did it again, I'd skip the TV and go with the projector. The huge screen size and projected image give me that theater experience that I craved. I still use the TV for playing video games, watching live sports, and watching some movies (especially when I want to take advantage of Dolby Vision). But if I was deciding based on only watching movies with the goal of making the space a purpose-built home theater, the projector wins. I'm in a batcave with no light to worry about, though. So if you plan on watching during the day or with lights on, the TV wins 100% of the time. Only movie watching and in a light-controlled environment = projector Multimedia use and/or with a lit environment = biggest TV of good quality you can afford
