Sony Bravia KD-55XD8505 - Pros & Cons

The plastic stand is very sturdy and the TV feels safe on it
the picture is superbly detailed and razor sharp
Colours are rich
but skin tones remain convincing
Edges are well defined without looking processed
better viewing angle and somewhat improved HDR capability
it has a wide viewing angle that is good for seating on the sides of the TV
Content looks very nice and sharp
Image remains accurate when viewed at an angle so everyone gets a good view
Image remains accurate when viewed at an angle which is good for wide living rooms
wide color gamut and gets quite bright to display HDR content
Motion handling is great and can produce bright vivid highlights

utterly unintuitive and more than a little frustrating
doesn't have the absolute best picture quality
It doesn't have the very biggest app offering
Sony does have a weakness
dark scenes are left looking unconvincing and drab
a bright element or two looks painfully grey and washed out
worse color accuracy at an angle
input lag is a bit high for 4k sources
picture quality is below average due to low native contrast ratio
No cherry-picked units sent by brands
huge power brick
