One-Flick Discovery UI and Sony Entertainment Network
Resident Wi-Fi is dual band
Twitter build into TVs is #lame
The language used throughout is willfully unintuitive and non-inclusive
It s not available at launch
s when things start to get ugly
The outlook is a bit muddy
it still felt a bit too high in the Cinema profile
X9 has no HDMI 2. 0 ports
Gamma is a bit too high in the dark end of the scale
input lag varied a bit
still quite a bit of compression from the picture output
clarity of image and depth of colour is only available in an extremely limited range of media
it feels strangely backwards watching 3D on a 4K TV
there are no breaks or joins when the screen is off
picture noise and motion blur
the resolution on the disc is still only Full HD
the four provided are built to the full new HDMI 2
there's no 4K content available
some ports and cables will be unsuitable
become unwieldy and difficult to accommodate on a standard desk
effects are nowhere near as noticeable in day-to-day tasks
the backlighting which has us hugely distracted
7108K colour temperature is a little on the cool side
monitors become too small to function as a main display
inability to deal with darkness
lack of contrast makes dark scenes look either flat or washed out
the lack of native content
the blacks are poor and not uniform
The edges bleed a little bit of light
poor blacks and uniformity
No cherry-picked units sent by brands
HDR remastering is not a user adjustable feature
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
limited to super-large screen sizes

What does it mean that KD-55X9005C has a vesa mount?
nerissa_oberbrunner
over 1 year ago
A VESA mount is a standardized interface that allows you to attach your LCD or plasma TV to a wall mount or stand. The VESA mount on your TV is typically located on the back of the TV and is identified by a set of holes spaced a specific distance apart. To use a VESA mount, you'll need to purchase a mounting bracket that is compatible with the VESA pattern on your LCD or plasma TV and follow the manufacturer's instructions for attaching the bracket to the TV and mounting it on the wall or on a stand. This will help ensure that your TV is securely mounted.

Sony KD-65X9005C Review

This is an eye-catching 4K screen from Sony, but Steve May would rather be dreaming of electric sheep After eight mints and vinyl records. These are just two things thinner than a Sony X9005C 4K/Ultra HD TV. It’s not much of a list, granted, but then this flagship thinitron is almost incomprehensibly svelte. Indeed, you […]

The Sony X900C 4k LED TV is very thin and has good color accuracy at an angle. However, the blacks are poor and not uniform, which means it is not a great choice...
