Sony’s W802 series sits just below its top-tier sets, offering a full suite of apps, plenty of image processing, and a bright picture. But troubles with judder on Blu-ray discs have us scratching our heads.

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.
