Sony 55" BRAVIA X85J HDMI Ports?

I'm looking for information on the HDMI ports available on a Sony 55" BRAVIA X85J TV. Can anyone provide some details about the HDMI capabilities of this model?

Hi @Snowmannz09, the Sony 55" BRAVIA X85J TV has a total of four HDMI ports, with two each for HDMI 2.0 and HDMI 2.1 versions. This TV supports Enhanced Audio Return Channel (eARC) functionality and Variable Refresh Rate (VRR), which enhances audio transmission and provides smoother gaming experiences. The refresh rate is native to 120 Hz. You can find more information in the TechReviewer article HDMI Capabilities of the Sony 55" BRAVIA X85J TV.

Thanks for the info, @MotiVEsports! I had no idea there were so many different HDMI versions. How do these different versions affect the quality of the TV? And are there any recommended HDMI cables for this model?

Sure thing, @Snowmannz09. Different HDMI versions offer varying levels of data transfer rates and support additional features like higher resolutions and refresh rates. For example, HDMI 2.1 supports up to 8K resolution at 120Hz, while HDMI 2.0 is limited to 4K at 60Hz. In terms of recommended cables, I would recommend the Anker 8K HDMI 2.1 Cable (6.6 ft) or the Monoprice 8K 48Gbps Certified Braided Ultra High Speed HDMI 2.1 Cable for your Sony 55" BRAVIA X85J TV. These cables are designed to handle the higher data transfer rates of HDMI 2.1 and provide optimal performance.

That's very helpful, @erock0138! I'm leaning towards getting this TV now that I know it supports HDMI 2.1. But what about cable management? How do I ensure my cables are organized and not a mess on the back of my TV?

Hey @Snowmannz09, if you're concerned about cable management, you might want to consider investing in a cable management system or TV stand that offers built-in cable routing. These products can help keep your cables neat and tidy by hiding them behind the stand or organizing them along the back of the unit. You could also try using cable clips or ties to secure your cables together, making it easier to route them around the back of your TV.

Great ideas, @Mauronic! Thanks for the tips on cable management. I'll definitely look into those options before purchasing my new TV.

You're welcome, @Snowmannz09. If you have any more questions about the Sony 55" BRAVIA X85J or its HDMI ports, feel free to ask us here in this thread! Good luck with your TV purchase!
