Sony KD-55X85L Review

With excellent processing, good smarts, and a decent audio performance, the Sony X85L is a telly to heavily consider.

Colourful, expressive picture ; Excellent processing ; Competitive smarts and features for the money ; Dolby and DTS audio

Suffers with dark scenes ; Tepid bass performance ; Some clipping with HDR content

Another 4K TV from Sony that’s capable of producing some beautifully pretty HDR pictures. With excellent processing, good smarts, and a decent audio performance, the Sony X85L is a telly to heavily consider for those shopping around the £/$1000 mark.

Sony KD-55X85L review: nicely nuanced

Sony takes the midrange right to the edge of the high end with its latest LED TV. The Sony KD-55X85L is a picture of refinement.

Convincing (and extensive) colour palette ; Impressive backlighting and, by extension, contrasts ; Great with motion

No HDR10+ support ; Doesn’t sound as good as it looks ; Not especially bright

An across-the-board improvement on the (already pretty decent) model it replaces.
