Sony KDL-55W905A review

Sony's Triluminos technology ensures its 55in W9 model packs a real picture punch After exploding back on to the TV scene in 2012 with its stunning HX853 series, Sony is hoping to make just as much of a splash with that model’s successors, as represented here by the 55W905A. This set certainly advances Sony’s cause with its looks. The frame around the 55in screen is gorgeously slender, yet still finds room for a ‘Sense of Quartz’ – otherwise known as a reflective angled turquoise highlight cut against the rest of the bezel.

Test Report: Sony KDL-55W900A 3D LCD HDTV

Sometimes, new isn't necessarily better. One example: MP3 downloads provided a convenient way for listeners to store and share music, but MP3 sound quality was a steep downgrade fromthat ofthe long-running CD format. And remember when Windows Vista OS was trotted out to replace Windows XP? Okay, some things are better left forgotten.

Sony KDL46W905 LED TV Review

Sony's KDL46W905 is the best 46-inch LED TV we've tested in 2013 in terms of 2D image quality. Input lag is super-low & ideal for PS4.

Stacks of detail and a stunning 3D performance, but pictures lack the punch of a five-star product, and we’d like to see brighter whites too

Sony's KDL-47W805 delivers good pictures in bright rooms, but it's not a great choice for your evening movies. It's also a tad expensive.
