The Sony’s a good-looking, great-sounding TV, but it needs some 4K content to make the most of the extra resolution and justify that price

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 […]

Sony KD-65X9005A review

The resolution revolution begins as Sony brings 4K to the masses with this 65in Ultra HD TV I’ve heard a startling amount of rubbish spouted about 4K/Ultra HD TVs in recent months. ‘Nobody cares about more pixels’. ‘The human eye can’t perceive the difference between normal HD and 4K resolutions’. ‘Forget UHD – what we need is OLED.’ ‘4K is just another marketing tool for selling more TVs.’ ‘Native sources won’t be available for at least five years’. And so on.
