Sony KDL-55W905A review

Sony's Triluminos technology ensures its 55in W9 model packs a real picture punch After exploding back on to the TV scene in 2012 with its stunning HX853 series, Sony is hoping to make just as much of a splash with that model’s successors, as represented here by the 55W905A. This set certainly advances Sony’s cause with its looks. The frame around the 55in screen is gorgeously slender, yet still finds room for a ‘Sense of Quartz’ – otherwise known as a reflective angled turquoise highlight cut against the rest of the bezel.

A great looking TV that wows in 3D, but there are a few snags that means it falls short of five-star glory

Sometimes, new isn't necessarily better. One example: MP3 downloads provided a convenient way for listeners to store and share music, but MP3 sound quality was a steep downgrade fromthat ofthe long-running CD format. And remember when Windows Vista OS was trotted out to replace Windows XP? Okay, some things are better left forgotten.
