Will these TV's have X-wide angle feature as well?
HDR10 and HLG only most likely. Don't get your hopes up for some magic Sony turnaround (like a Philips you're presumably thinking of)What HDR standards will these TV's be supporting
Most? Haven't seen anyone reporting that yet (and afaik no model below an X1 Extreme will and can get a DV update)Should have Dolby vision as well given most 2018 Sony’s now have it via the firmware update
See my updated post and info given in the link you provided (the XF90 and AF8 are the only additional models to the list)Most - including 2016 and 2017 sets
Firmware update for Sony’s 2016 and 2017 Android TVs (XD70, XD75, XD80, SD80, XD83, ZD9, XE80, XE83, XE85, XE90, XE93, XE94 and A1 Series) – 28th March 2018 [Update] | Sony UK
The point is you don't update old sets with DV if you're not using it in your new ones. Ditto the 4K players. Sony have obviously 'gotten with the program' Sony now offers higher-end 4K player with Dolby Vision at CES 2019
I think the point is only their past high end sets with a specific SoC received an update, so won’t necessarily mean these mid range models in 2019 will get anything...There's an echo in here

I guess we'll have to wait and see
Yes repetition seems to be necessary for the point to come across : you are the one who claimed most of 2018 (16 and 17), in other words the old models are now capable of DV.There's an echo in here

US resident here. We're not as fortunate and don't get many of the 43 inch models like the xg83. I don't think the xf85 came out here in 43 either. I've been looking for a 120hz panel in 43 with decent input lag and the ability to do 1080/1440p at 120hz. It's been cut out of Samsungs q60 in the 43 inch, presumably because they don't want the TV competing with their own qled monitors. Do either of the Sonys do this to your knowledge? I'll figure out a way to import one if I have to, assuming 120hz output actually works!At this point, wondering if the xg83 43" will be VA, rather than IPS like last years xf85 43".
According to the Rtings review the XF85 can and the XG83 should be exactly the same set ... (I have only known of one instance in 'recent' years where the smallest model had a 60Hz panel (42W800B) and it was nicely indicated as having half the Motionflow rating of the bigger sizes. Since these are listed as 100Hz models you can assume there will be no difference in sizes. Of course it would be better to have it tested to be sure; the 43" doesn't seem to be popular because it doesn't have a VA panel)US resident here.

According to displayspecification, both the 43" & 49" XG83 are IPS panels. Very disappointing.
Answering my own question here, the 43" XG8396 does NOT come with an eARC port, just standard ARC ( i ad the tv delivered yesterday). Btw great TV, paid only £650 for it through an ebay seller from Spain, usual UK RRP is £999.Does anyone know if the Sony 2019 models support eARC? Specifically the 43" XG8396.
Cheers
