Sony delivers with the W802A, but its price may deter potential buyers.

Review: Sony KDL-50W805B - pagina 3 - p 19672

In een zwaar bevochten segment pakt deze Sony uit met degelijke prestaties, zowel voor beeld als geluid. Een prima allrounder, bovendien voor een scherpe prijs.

Sony’s W802 series sits just below its top-tier sets, offering a full suite of apps, plenty of image processing, and a bright picture. But troubles with judder on Blu-ray discs have us scratching our heads.

The Sony W800B is a really good TV for gamers. Its only major flaw is the loss of color saturation when viewed at an angle.

We take a look at the Sony W805C with a 55-inch HD screen, Android TV and X-Reality Pro. But at £999 for a 1920x1080p TV it seems expensive given the current 4K budget TVs.

While it's largely a sideways move from 2014's W829, the Sony KDL-55W805C is tremendous value for money in terms of picture quality.
