Sony KD-65S8505C

The KD-65S8505C is Sony's second-generation curved TV. It's a 65-inch model boasting a native 4K UHD resolution, Sony's latest X1 4K video-processing system, the company's Triluminos wide-colour gamut technology, and the new Android TV smart OS.

Frequently spectacular native 4K picture quality ; Beautiful colour handling ; Exceptionally powerful 4K upscaling

Messy dynamic backlight system ; Android TV feels clunky and lacks customisation options ; Expensive versus equivalent flat-screen TVs

Stellar colour performance; outstanding native 4K and upscaled detail; attractive design; good connectivity

More expensive than similarly specified flatscreens; occasionally clumsy dynamic contrast; lack of smart TV customisation

The 65S8505C is expensive relative to Sony’s similarly-specc'd flat TVs (though its upcoming HDR support softens the price blow), and some clumsiness in its dynamic contrast system and initially over-enthusiastic upscaling undermines its otherwise...

Sony KD55S8505CBU

The TV I purchased failed within 1 week, this was replaced no problem, but Sony customer service is now based in Egypt and is not good at all. I also purchased a surround sound system, this also failed and Sony had two attempts at repairing it , in the...
