Sony Bravia KD-55XE7096 - Pros & Cons

it has a remarkably composed picture
The clarity of the picture is very impressive
the app offering is decent
intuitive and responsive
XE70 is great at colours
too
It has a sharp image with impressive colour management
Dark details within a picture are generally good
better reflection handling and a faster response time
Excellent low input lag
Build Quality The build quality is fine
The image remains sharp and details are preserved
the TV is very consistent with its brightness
which is
much better contrast and somewhat better black uniformity
the better contrast ratio and much better black uniformity
aggressive price and attractive design
looks crisp and clean from a normal seating distance
upscaling is excellent
and its contrast and colours are strong
The open frame stand is particularly good at delivering this illusion of quality

X720E has a poor black uniformity
it is still limited with the viewing angle compared to the IPS panel
uneven lighting to be more distracting than a bit of grey
Android TV a little clunky anyway
the picture rarely ever looks flat or washed out
exaggerated colours and too much sharpening
turn the brightness down a little
input lag bug is now fixed in firmware v4
Gamma is not too off
No cherry-picked units sent by brands
mediocre picture quality in a dark room
flimsy build quality
bright enough to do the HDR format justice
4K pictures will start to look noisy
the picture starts to grey over and lose colour intensity
clunky
cluttered
sluggish and
worst
