Sony KD-55XE9005 review and best prices (XE90) | S21

The Sony 55XE9005 might just be the best TV you can buy for the price in 2017. The direct backlit screen with local dimming delivers outstanding picture quality, whether showing HDR or normal video content. And with a smart, premium design, the benefits of Android TV, and a decent audio system, it's got the lot.
