the 3D depth and minimal crosstalk

It takes a while to boot when first opening the TV
it only comes with a standard remote
No cherry-picked units sent by brands
it is very heavy and thick
picture loses contrast and saturation
W850B lacks a 10-point grayscale and color-management system
response times still seemed somewhat sluggish
no way to view your own feed
this TV is still pretty expensive
orangish skew was a bit more visible
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
requiring users to update apps often
Gamma Curve Gamma is another area where the W850C behaved a bit strangely
don't get access to a color management system
edge dimming around the perimeter of the screen
that difficult for two people to unpack and set up
gray banding was rarely noticeable
this version does not use the Quantum Dot technology employed
suffers from off-axis viewing issues and slight backlight bleed
slightly skewed colors
backlight seepage around the edges when the background was very dark
the picture appears a bit darker when viewed through the glasses

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.
