Sony KD-65XD9305 HDR 4K TV Review

Sony's KD-65XD9305 is a 4K HDR stunner: it's proof that you don't need a UHD Premium-certified TV to get superb 4K Blu-ray experience.

Sony 55XD9305 review

This slim-screen 4K HDR Bravia can't quite match its performance to its aesthetics Sony's newly-minted 55XD9305 TV is a flatscreen style icon with some cool new technology, introducing a novel Slim Backlight Drive which effectively divides the panel backlight in two, and sporting a waif-like frame that makes it perfect for wall-hanging. The set reviewed here is a 55-incher, but it’s also available in 65-inch guise.

Sony KD-55XD9305 review and best prices (XD93) | S21

The Sony KD-55XD9305B is Sony's top 55-inch TV for 2016. Picture quality from this 4K HDR TV is as good as anything we've seen from Sony, thanks to the new Slim Backlight Drive, Triluminos display technology and X1 processor. The TV comes with Android TV, Netflix 4K, and built-in Freeview HD and Youview support. It's an outstanding television in many ways, but our users are reporting a variety of problems. See below for details.
