Sony's new flagship 2021 XR processor is a significant upgrade over the very well respected X1 Ultimate processor.

I wish I could watch that, but the internet where I’m at blows.
I spoke with someone at Bestbuy here in Canada and they said I could order now and have it in July.
If possible, are you able to comment on availability in Canada?

Edit: I’m speaking of the 85”

[Scarriere]

Pretty interesting take on how the X95J is affecting the industry:

Have my Preorder in for the 75" Model returned my 75X950H that I never picked up and am now just waiting on arrival.

Sony X95J TV Review Surprise & Disappointments from China! - YouTube

This isn't even a real review, its a review of a review from China which makes 0 sense, no-one knows how these are calibrated and testing does not seem to be done under the same criteria.

We already knew the panels are damn near identical. The big differences between X90J and X95J are as follows

Brighter HDR
Deeper Blacks
Better viewing angles

The above 3 the "reviewer" blew off...

Also he does not touch on the added speakers to the X95J compared to other models

Ill wait for a real review from Value Electronics.
