Sony's Top 10 Televisions

The TV market is very diverse. In addition to the huge number of different companies, it can hit the imagination and a variety of functions, different dimensions, as well as different quality devices. Especially diverse are Sony TVs. Some of them are quite tiny and well suited for a kitchen or a small room, while others reach more than one and a half meters in length and are equipped with all sorts of nanotechnological functions, which are increasing every year. A curved screen, 4K UHD resolution, surround sound, even for budget models, is an incomplete list of what these TVs can offer.

Also, the device of this Japanese company differs from competitors and exceptional quality. Users can sometimes discuss what is missing from a particular model or complain about an unusual interface, but you can hardly read in a review that Sony TV suddenly broke down after half a year after purchase. Durability is one of the main advantages of the brand, as well as an advantage over many competitors, in particular Samsung and LG.

Although these manufacturers often delight consumers with much more affordable prices, many users still choose Sony because of their reliability. However, in everyday use, the most budgetary models of the “Japanese” are not very different from their closest competitors. Sometimes they can work as slowly as AlG and Samsung. However, in terms of functionality and color reproduction, Sony still benefits in low-cost TVs. Also, this brand differs from LG in a large viewing angle and the lack of glare, even in a cheap category. However, the concept of budget for LG, Samsung and Sony is somewhat different. The Japanese brand is worth a little more, but its quality standards are much higher.

The situation is somewhat different with premium TVs. Here, Sony is no longer the most expensive brand, despite the huge functionality and amazing screen quality. Many competitor models are much more expensive with similar and sometimes less attractive features. In this case, the choice in this price segment, as in the rest, is very large. Therefore, based on reviews, technical characteristics and expert opinions, we selected the best Sony TVs in the most popular categories.

This TV giant is about twice as large as all the others, because its width reaches almost two meters, and its height is more than a meter. Impressive dimensions are supplemented with 4K resolution and frame refresh rate increased to 100 Hz.Such a successful combination provides not just a great, but really high-quality and realistic image that helps the viewer to fully immerse themselves in the world of movies and games.

2 Sony KD-65AF9

The recent development of the Japanese brand has become a real gem of the premium class. The large diagonal of the OLED screen, which is almost 65 inches, 4K resolution and support for transferring pictures with an extended dynamic brightness range of Dolby Vision, made the model a very attractive solution for fans to watch movies in high quality. Nevertheless, the best feature and the most important advantage of the TV is not diagonal and even not rare for Sony OLED-matrix, and the impressive surround sound of as many as eight speakers with a total power of 98 watts. Such high rates noticeably change the sound quality for the better. The presence of a built-in subwoofer provides bass deep enough for the TV, which conventional speakers are incapable of reproducing, which makes the sound even richer.

Not deprived of the model and useful popular features, including Smart TV, Time Shift, support for Wireless Display, Miracast and other wireless technologies. Also, the device has a convenient voice control.

1 Sony KD-55XF9005

Leading the line is not the most expensive, but the best on a number of characteristics of the model with a diagonal of 55 inches.

The contrast of 6000 and the brightness of 600 candela per square meter make viewing incredibly comfortable in any room lighting and any conditions. The model will perfectly cope with the display of a highly obscured video sequence, even if you watch a movie in bright daylight, due to which it is simply out of competition. In addition, the development received an update index of 100 hertz, which is two times higher than the most common indicator, as well as local dimming technology.

Not the highest price for a 55-inch TV and a great picture were the key to the popularity of the device. In numerous reviews, customers praise this Sony model for its color depth, “vibrant” colors and a gorgeous image as a whole, as well as a decent sound.
