Sony KD-55X8505B review

 

Sharp picture across the board ; Lovely colours ; Plenty of subtlety

Blacks could be better ; Smart interface is not as comprehensive as rivals

Sony shows that you don’t need to pay a fortune to get a good 4K TV

Sony KD-55X8505B 4K TV review

 

Sony's entry-level 4K TV isn't the best, but it's still pretty darn good and that price tag makes it a bit of a bargain

Good picture ; Good specs ; Adjustable feet ; Cheap for 55in of 4K goodness

Rivals have better picture performance. And features.

It’s a little less brilliant than the most brilliant 4K telly, but it’s a little less expensive, too

Sony Bravia KD49X8505

 

Easy to set up Picture quality is outstanding with little or no adjustment Netflix 4k works perfectly Use with Sony BDPS790 plays mastered in 4k discs at 3840 x 2160p Skype works perfectly using supplied camera.

Small remote supplied is not really required or good enough to take over the usual larger remote As with all flat TV's, sound leaves a little room for improvement, however I would take it for granted that if purchased it would be used with a home...

Sony Bravia KD49X8505

 

Great picture,3d is excellent. 4k cannot really be rated as lack of 4k content at the moment.

The football mode is a waste of time..it seems worse for watching football on.when turning on the tv,it can take a minute before you can access tv guide or switch hdmi input.
