Crosstalk was generally faint and non-intrusive
narrow even by VA LCD standards
the lack of local dimming
home cinema system
the result is a little shy on absolute detail
exacts a brightness penalty
3D may not be fashionable
The Pro setting looks dull in comparison
It may not display this or other websites correctly
Calibration It took only one click on the White Balance controls
X8505 takes some time to shut down its extraneous processing
s just too much of an emphasis on content discovery
desert looks suitably grainy
a bit too punchy for that
doesn't have the absolute best picture quality
utterly unintuitive and more than a little frustrating
Sony does have a weakness
It doesn't have the very biggest app offering
model online locally or overseas or in a second-hand store

Sony's KD-55X8505C is good value for money, especially after the latest firmware update that adds HDR support & 4:4:4 chroma at 4K@60Hz.

Sony KD-55X8505C review

Superb motion-handling makes this affordable 55in 4K/Ultra HD TV a real action hero The 55in KD-55X8505C is the honey trap for Sony’s 2015 4K UHD models. Priced considerably below the ultra-slim X90C and the hi-res audio-capable X93C/X94C behemoths, this is UHD for the brand-buying mainstream.
