This tv came out around the same time as the ps5. A few features came in a later update, but it is 4k/120 out of the box. You couldn’t get a better tv at the time.
I’m not misremembering anything. I have the x900h exact TV in my living room right now. It cannot do native 4k/120hz, to this day. It can do Native 4k OR it can do 120hz but not both. If you enable 120hz, the horizontal resolution is cut in half to only 1080 pixels. This couldn’t be fixed with a drive update because it’s a consequence of Sony cheating out on the processor. It is physically not capable of it.
VRR was added in a firmware update, but again due to Sony’s poor choice in hardware components if you enable VRR it disables local dimming entirely. Being an LED panel, without local dimming the picture is significantly degraded. It’s a truly terrible TV for anything but casual Netflix watching.
Then you’re misremembering a lot of stuff
