    What's the reputation of Sony TVs like?

    I’ve seen Sony TVs have good reviews, but I’ve also read some negative reviews, so it’s hard to say whether they’re any good.

4.0

The Sony W800B is a really good TV for gamers. Its only major flaw is the loss of color saturation when viewed at an angle.
