Sony KDL-55W805C

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.

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.

3.0

The good-looking Sony W802A television offers decent image quality for an LED but its color palette and high price pale in comparison to cheaper plasmas like the Panasonic ST60.

The Sony W802A series of LED-lit LCD HDTVs performs well, but you can find other models that offer better performance for the price—or a lower price for similar performance.
