You want a smart TV? This 50in Sony set is so brainy it should be in Mensa
Sony W8 is a mid-range 2014 TV with edge LED and Smart TV features such as TV apps and TV SIdeView. Has Sony produced a great value-for-money TV with W8?
The Sony KDL50W829B LED TV is good for watching movies & sports, & brilliant for gaming, but there's a major flaw with its 3D picture.
Sony is banking on its W8 flatscreen range to cut a swathe through the connected TV competition this year.While there are higher-spec Full HD models in
Sony delivers arguably the finest HD TV of the year.
It may have lost a star, but this 50in Sony is still worth an audition
Fantastic picture quality for the price and (for a limited time only) a free soundbar if you buy from Currys
Sony's W8 is second in the hierarchy of 1080p TVs in 2014 but by no means plays second fiddle to the flagship W95
Sony's KDL42W829 is a good HDTV, but if you have the space & budget, it's wiser to buy the larger 50
The Sony KDL-W829 looks the sub-£1k TV to beat in 2014
Sony's W8 TV offers high-end performance at a surprisingly affordable price
Razor-sharp pictures and a revamped Smart system ensure this mid-range 50-incher is ready to thrill The temptation is to call 'time' already. If you want a superb 1080p LED connected TV, look no further. Buying conundrum solved – this Sony is all you need. Let’s hit the izakaya. Of course, to be that presumptuous would be madness.
The 50W829 puts in an excellent performance thanks to its deep black levels, rich contrast and perky colours, but it is let down by its lacklustre smart TV system and mediocre sound quality.
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.
