Sony X810C Review – 4K Ultra HD Smart TV Series – (XBR55X810C, XBR65X810C)

We have to hand it to Sony, when it comes to creating budget-oriented 4K ultra HD TVs that still pack plenty of awesome punch, these guys are the experts from what we've seen so far. Even Samsung and Panasonic don't usually quite reach Sony's quality...

Excellent contrast ratio ; Very good picture quality ; Fine color rendering ; Superb X-Reality PRO upscaling engine ; King of connectivity options ; Superb Android TV smart platform

No local dimming ; Crappy sound quality ; Weak off-angle viewing in 55 inch model

The Sony XBR55X810C and XBR65X810C are both wonderful surprises in the world of 2015 4K UHD TVs. These TVs manage to deliver an excellent package of visual technologies while costing relatively little and some of the specs they offer, such as contrast...

Sony X810C TV

The Sony X810C 4k LED TV has excellent picture quality, but it lacks more advanced features. The only major downside of this TV is the degradation of the colors when you view it from the side.

Excellent overall picture quality. ; Good motion handling and low input lag, therefore a great gaming TV.

Very dark corners. ; Loss of color saturation at an angle.

" GREAT TV " Could have spent more! Could have spent less!

It was time for a new TV! I didn't want to do this! Just didn't! SONY TV'S is what I've owned! So that was an easy decision. Last TV was 50" inch, so I felt I couldn't go Smaller. So that was an easy decision also! So I went with a 2015 SONY...

everything you need, nothing you can't use!

For the present, the name of the game in 4K is up-scaling, and no one does that better than Sony. I use primarily cable and DVDs, and the 480P and 720P up-scaling on this TV is flawless. My seating areas are not at oblique angles to the set, so I am...

Good LED TV

This TV is a solid LED television. I lived the picture of my old plasma but those are going by the wayside. I really like all the apps that I can use right from the television (Netflix, twitch, etc). The firmware update takes a while when you first set...

So Far I love it

I only received it yesterday and paired it with a 4K Roku. I think it's incredible so far. My former bedroom TV was a 46" Sony LCD I'd had for about 8 years with only 2 Hdmis. This has 4 Hdmi hookups. It pairs with my Sony home theater system and my...
