it lacks the X1 Extreme video processor and Dolby Vision
Bass sounds thin
and treble can become harsh and even distort a little during action
s no light haloing around stand-out picture elements
suffers relatively little judder or blurring
extraneous light appear around some of the brightest image elements
overloaded with backlight local dimming zones
Its interface feels overbearing and dictatorial
HDR TV seem to be dwindling fast
smart string lights
The white balance is slightly too warm
no CMS controls on Sony TVs
some haloing around bright objects against a dark background
It may not display this or other websites correctly
seen on TVs that use a direct LED backlight
over-sharpened and slightly processed look
bad colors
high iput lag and bad upscaling
generation HDR LED sets often struggled in their quest to deliver peak highlights
it can also add unwanted artefacts
implementation was heavy-handed and obvious
HDR remastering is not a user adjustable feature
limited to super-large screen sizes
You do not get Dolby Vision
the profile still looks pretty narrow
clear shades tend progressively a little too much towards a cooler color temperature
all keys are behind a rubbery top and have a very low profile
the interface looks unnecessarily large
degradation of the image when viewed at an angle
No cherry-picked units sent by brands
The retention is really faint and not as strong as seen on some IPS TVs
image retention is not a deal breaker in any way

Can I watch Netflix on KD-49XE9005
conrad
over 1 year ago
Here are a few ways to determine if you can watch Netflix on your TV: 1) Determine if your TV is a smart TV: Look at the specifications or manual for your TV to see if it has internet connectivity and the ability to access and run streaming apps like Netflix. 2) Check for a Netflix app: If your TV is a smart TV, look for a Netflix app on the TV's home screen or app store. You can also check the manufacturer's website or the TV's manual to see if Netflix is listed as a supported app. 3) Use a streaming device: If your TV is not a smart TV, you can use a separate device like a streaming stick, set-top box, or Blu-ray player with built-in streaming capabilities to access Netflix and other streaming services. To watch Netflix on your TV, you will also need a stable internet connection and a Netflix subscription. Once you have these, you can set up your TV or streaming device and start watching Netflix on your TV.

What does it mean that KD-49XE9005 has a vesa mount?
dodie
over 1 year ago
A VESA mount is a standard mounting interface for attaching a display device, such as a TV, to a wall mount or stand. The term "VESA" stands for "Video Electronics Standards Association," which is a trade organization that sets standards for the display industry. If your TV has a VESA mount, it means that it is compatible with VESA-compliant wall mounts or stands. This allows you to mount your TV on the wall or on a stand using a VESA-compliant mounting bracket. The VESA mount on your TV is typically located on the back of the TV, and is identified by a set of holes that are spaced a specific distance apart. The distance between the holes is specified in millimeters, and is typically referred to as the "VESA pattern." To use a VESA mount, you will need to purchase a VESA-compliant mounting bracket that is compatible with the VESA pattern on your TV. Once you have the bracket, you can attach it to the TV using the VESA mount holes, and then mount the TV on the wall or on a stand. It is important to follow the manufacturer's instructions and use the proper mounting hardware to ensure that the TV is securely mounted.

Sony KD-49XE9005 review and best prices (XE9005) | S21

The Sony 49XE9005 is one of the priciest 49-inch TVs of 2017, but there's a reason for that. Its direct backlit screen with local dimming delivers outstanding picture quality, whether showing 4K or HDR video. Add in Android TV, a good sound system, and premium design, and the high price is justified.
