Gamma Curve Gamma is another area where the W850C behaved a bit strangely
that difficult for two people to unpack and set up
this version does not use the Quantum Dot technology employed
gray banding was rarely noticeable
lack of content compared to the likes of Samsung and LG TVs
The default settings are not ideal
Birdman is a colourful film
the TV will need a bit of tinkering
orangish skew was a bit more visible
this TV is still pretty expensive
no way to view your own feed
response times still seemed somewhat sluggish
W850B lacks a 10-point grayscale and color-management system
backlight seepage around the edges when the background was very dark
the picture appears a bit darker when viewed through the glasses
suffers from off-axis viewing issues and slight backlight bleed
it only comes with a standard remote
It takes a while to boot when first opening the TV
it is very heavy and thick
No cherry-picked units sent by brands
picture loses contrast and saturation
not limited to) evaluation of user interfaces and publicly-available material
Component-video connections require three separate RCA plugs
battery-powered LCD shutter glasses
Some 3D TVs omit this item to control costs
3D TVs may come with several sets of 3D glasses

Sony KDL-W850B series review: Sony gets a good picture in wedgewise

3.5

The wedge-shaped design of the Sony KDL-W850B makes for a unique look, and in addition to a good picture helps justify a relatively high price.

4.0

The Sony Bravia KDL-W850B series of HDTVs are reasonably priced edge-lit LED screens that, despite some minor issues with peak brightness and off-angle viewing, deliver a sharp 1080p picture with inky blacks and a high contrast ratio.
