A mostly excellent 65in 4K UHD TV – although on occasion can be a little clumsy.

Sony's near entry level Ultra HD HDR TV has plenty going for it but the dimming system is a let down.

The Sony X850C 4k TV has good overall picture quality, except when viewed at an angle - the colors lose saturation. The blacks are great and it doesn't have much...

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.

Sony KD-55X8505C 4K TV Review

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’s entry-level 4K TV isn’t the best, but it’s still pretty darn good and that price tag makes it a bit of a bargain
