Sony's Top 10 Televisions

The Japanese company Sony has been manufacturing TVs for many years. She began in the days of kinescopic "boxes". And even then, its products were distinguished by the highest quality - the buyers appreciated the color rendition and the number of connectors. Since then, the situation has not changed too much. Now the Japanese are producing LCD TVs, and many people still believe that it is Sony products that produce the highest quality picture. However, this does not apply to all devices. In this article we will talk exclusively about those models that are the best of their kind.

Best Sony TVs up to 39 inches

Sony KDL-40WE663

Rating: 4.8

Amazing LCD TV with a memorable design. The side frames are minimized here - they are barely noticeable even with good lighting around. Only the area under the display turned out to be a little wider - most of the electronics are hidden here. The stand looks elegant too - an unknowing person will not immediately understand exactly how the TV is kept in a stable position. It is impossible to find fault with a 101-centimeter display. He squeezes all juices out of Full HD resolution. There is even support for HDR technology! That is, when viewing relevant content, you can enjoy realistic colors that are not capable of producing cheaper TVs. Recall, a similar picture displays, for example, modern game consoles from Microsoft or the same Sony.

Of course, the screen of such a device has maximum viewing angles. That is, you can watch the movie from anywhere in the room. Play content is not necessarily from an external hard drive. Instead, you can go to one or another online cinema, using the appropriate functionality of Smart TV. But, as it seems, much more often the owner of the TV will launch YouTube. The transition to this service is carried out almost instantly - it is felt that a certain amount of RAM is booked with this client. Yes, and other applications work very quickly, but what should thank the powerful processor.

Of course, there are some TV and restrictions. I could not do without them, because 35 thousand rubles. - this is not the highest price tag for Sony products. The buyer will have to accept the lack of support for the standard DVB-S2. This means that connecting the satellite "plate" directly to the TV does not work, you will need a receiver. Other digital TV standards are supported without any problems. Some other buyers may be disappointed with the built-in acoustics. It consists of two speakers with a capacity of 5 watts. It is highly likely that they will soon want to use a coaxial audio output to connect speakers or an audio panel.

Otherwise, this is a typical mid-budget TV.With this appearance, he could not get into our rating.

Sony KDL-32WD756

Rating: 4.7

The most compact TV in our rating. The diagonal of its screen is only 31.5 inches (80 cm). At the same time, the product also has an extremely thin frame, since almost all the electronics are located in the area under the display. And if the previous instance was running Opera TV, then a modified version of Linux is used here. However, the buyer hardly notice any significant differences - the possibilities of the two systems are about the same. Is that updated this option less often.

This model is sold for 28-30 thousand rubles. As it is easy to guess, the Japanese giant offers for this money only Full HD panel. The display shows very well, there are no complaints about the color reproduction and viewing angles. Scanning frequency is standard. You can watch both terrestrial digital TV and cable. If you are going to buy a satellite dish, then in addition to it, you will also need to purchase a receiver, since support for the DVB-S2 standard is missing here. There are also two USB ports to which you can connect an external hard drive or a regular flash drive. But, as it seems, it is much easier to watch videos online using Wi-Fi. Among the list of other connectors, you can select a pair of HDMI jacks, SCART and optical audio output. The latter is quite capable of being useful, since the total power of the built-in acoustics is only 10 watts. By the way, the Japanese manufacturer did not forget about the headphone jack.

Perhaps, Sony KDL-32WD756 fully deserves the money spent on it, if you do not want to add some amount to buy a 4K TV. This model was included in our rating not only due to its chic appearance and minimal weight, but also due to the light sensor - it is rarely found in such compact TVs.

Best Sony TVs with a 40-49 inch screen

Sony KD-49XE9005

Rating: 4.9

A very large TV with fairly thin frames around the display. They ask for such a device more than 89 thousand rubles. In connection with this price tag, the fact that there are three TV tuners here is not at all surprising. It is possible to connect both an on-air antenna and satellite “plates” to them - there is support for the corresponding standard here. Also, you can watch the content through a USB drive - the TV has three ports at once. Why such a number of them? First, to power some kind of electronic device (for example, the NES Classic Mini game console). Secondly, to connect peripherals. That is, USB ports if you have an Android operating system here will definitely come in handy.

This TV displays a picture using a very large screen. Its diagonal is 48.5 inches (123 cm). Of course, with such sizes, the buyer is waiting for 4K resolution. But even this is not good. And not even support for HDR technology, which makes colors more realistic.Most of all, impressions (and the price tag, too) were affected by the frequency of scanning increased to 100 Hz. This means that the action scenes on such a TV will seem smoother. Differences will be noticeable in games.

As a speaker system, two speakers with a power of 10 W each are used here. To connect external equipment are four HDMI-jacks and other connectors. You can also use Bluetooth. Wi-Fi is used to access the Internet, and high-speed 802.11ac is among the supported standards. There is also a light sensor here, thanks to which the brightness of the screen backlight is automatically adjusted.

It remains to add that the TV weighs 13.8 kg. Fragile girl to cope with its installation will be very difficult.

Sony KD-43XE8077

Rating: 4.8

Another Japanese TV with a very thin frame. The diagonal of its screen is 42.5 inches - in terms of the metric system, this is 108 cm. You cannot call this model particularly expensive, although it is 65,000 rubles. not every citizen of our country can spend. This device includes two TV tuners. This allows you to watch both terrestrial and satellite TV at the same time. Of course, the Japanese have implemented support for all standards of digital TV here. And they gave their creation three USB-ports. Download to a flash drive or external hard drive is recommended only films that are saved in the best quality. The fact is that it uses a 4K-resolution screen. And when you connect a certain technology and viewing special services, the HDR mode is also activated, which will significantly increase the realism of colors.

To find fault with the TV is difficult and about its other characteristics. This model was included in our rating thanks to a stable running “android”. With this operating system, you can watch online cinema content. Connecting to the router via Wi-Fi 802.11ac. And if we talk about wireless modules, the TV has Bluetooth. Most often, the "blue tooth" will be used to connect headphones. As for all external equipment, four HDMI jacks are used to connect it.

Of course, the Sony KD-43XE8077 could not do without flaws. But finding them is very difficult. The acoustics used here has a total power of 20 W, and this can hardly be considered an insufficient parameter. The weight of the TV is also within reasonable limits, amounting to 10.8 kg. Perhaps you can only complain about the refresh rate of the screen - it is equal to the standard 50 Hz.

Sony KD-43XE7096

Rating: 4.8

Another TV, the display diagonal of which is 108 cm. It was also created using IPS technology, and therefore you can count on soft color reproduction and maximum viewing angles. The device can not be called cheap, they ask for more than 40 thousand rubles. In this regard, the product has received 4K permission. Relevant content here will look great! And it is not necessary to search for it on the Internet, and then copy it to a USB-drive.This model has the support of Smart TV - this means that there is an Opera TV operating system here that allows you to watch content online. In particular, the user can easily run YouTube, which contains a mass of 4K-videos. Some of them will even allow to appreciate the work of the HDR technology.

Of course, the ideal built-in screen could not be here, because the TV does not belong to the top-end price segment. You can find fault with a frequency of 50 Hz. But perhaps this is a serious display flaw ends. Yes, and the rest of the TV are very good. It uses a speaker system with a total power of 20 W, which with such a price tag will certainly please the buyer. The device supports absolutely all standards of digital TV, including terrestrial DVB-T2 and satellite DVB-S2. The set of connectors on the rear and side panels, consisting of three HDMI jacks and the same number of USB ports, is also seen as a smart one. The manufacturer has become generous even for a couple of TV tuners!

Of course, the Japanese would not have been themselves if they had not saved on trifles. First, the Wi-Fi module installed here supports only the 802.11n standard, which is not the fastest. Secondly, the manufacturer refused to introduce support for Bluetooth devices. Thirdly, he did not embed a light sensor in his creation. With most of the shortcomings is quite possible to accept. Although you need to understand that when online viewing 4K-content from Wi-Fi will have to be abandoned - will have to use a wired connection.

Best Sony TVs with a 50-55 inch screen

Sony KD-55XE9005

Rating: 4.9

Very large tv. The diagonal of its screen is 55 inches (140 cm). But they ask for quite a lot of money for the device - about 94 thousand rubles. What does the buyer receive for such an amount? First of all, a chic screen. It has a 4K resolution, so that individual pixels are difficult to make out, even approaching the device closely. When playing on a PlayStation 4 or Xbox One S, HDR technology will become noticeable - colors become as close to reality as possible. Finally, the excitement of the customer will also be caused by the screen refresh rate, increased here to 100 Hz. Not a record figure, but even it makes games and action films smoother.

To connect the external electronics are four HDMI-connector. Importantly, these jacks belong to the HDMI 2.0 standard. This means that they are able to receive video in 4K resolution with a frequency of 60 frames / s. You can also find three USB ports on the case that are needed to use all kinds of peripherals and drives. Somewhere inside the TV, Wi-Fi 802.11n and Bluetooth wireless modules are hidden. The first is needed for Android, while the second allows you to connect, for example, wireless headphones. Of course, this model without any problems recognizes the signals of all popular standards of digital TV. It can be argued that receivers and digital set-top boxes do not need such televisions. The device also got into our rating due to the presence of three TV tuners. Most of all this should rejoice guests of our country. It turns out that they can connect on-air and two satellite antennas (for watching Russian and, say, Armenian television). It can not but rejoice and installed here a light sensor that allows the system to automatically adjust the brightness of the backlight.

Only acoustics can cause opposite feelings to the customer. Its total power is 20 watts. Yes, it is a lot. But not so much, especially for this diagonal and such a high cost.I would like to get more speakers, even if they would remain 10-watt.

Sony KD-55XE8096

Rating: 4.8

This 4K TV has a very large size. Its IPS-display has a 55-inch diagonal. In this regard, it is recommended to use the TV only in a room with a large area, where there would be at least three meters between it and the sofa.

What else offers a device, estimated at 70 thousand rubles.? First, the standard speaker system, consisting of two speakers with a total power of 20 watts. Secondly, support for all standards of digital TV - from air to satellite. Thirdly, the Smart TV function based on Android. The “green robot” works without any slowdowns, although at some moments the insufficient amount of RAM is still felt.

On the back and side of the LCD TV are four HDMI jacks and three USB ports. In fact, this is the maximum number of connectors. An optical audio output is used for audio output. An Ethernet port is used to connect to the router. Wireless communication is also possible, but when browsing 4K content online, the Wi-Fi module may not have enough bandwidth.

In short, the TV from Sony has turned out very good. Thin frames, a pair of TV tuners, smart functionality, an excellent screen - this is all that is required to the average consumer.

Best Sony TVs with a screen over 65 inches

Sony KD-75XE9005

Rating: 4.9

The screen diagonal of this TV is 74.5 inches (189 cm). This makes the device a good choice for a bar or a huge lounge. Most often, buyers hang the device on the wall. By the way, for such an operation will have to attract help, because the TV weighs 33.2 kg. However, the kit comes with a stylish stand, thanks to which the product can be placed on a spacious pedestal.

Of course, such a large TV could not get a screen with 4K-resolution. Although, frankly, with a price tag of 270 thousand rubles. I want to see already 8K-picture. Also, the display of this device can boast a frequency of sweep increased up to 100 Hz. This has a positive effect on games where the display correctly “draws” additional frames, with the result that the picture seems very smooth - no worse than the one that a bunch of several top-end video cards gives. Also, the high frequency of updates will appeal to football fans - the feeling becomes as close as possible to those that are received by fans at the stadium. But, of course, you need to look for a broadcast in 4K-resolution. By the way, there is also support for HDR. Using this technology content will surely please the user with realistic colors.

But not a single screen is good this TV. The manufacturer gave it a decent amount of RAM and a powerful processor. This allows the Android operating system to function without serious slowdowns.With it, you can easily watch movies online using one of the other clients of Internet cinemas. If you are not satisfied with the paid viewing, then you can run YouTube, where you can easily find lots of 4K videos. The user can also connect all kinds of external equipment - game consoles, action cameras and other devices of this kind. For this, four HDMI jacks and three USB ports are used. Wireless headphones connect via Bluetooth. As for the router, it is not necessary to pull the network cable from it - the TV supports the high-speed standard Wi-Fi 802.11ac, which has enough bandwidth to watch 4K video.

If we talk about television, then the device includes three TV tuners. Of course, Sony KD-75XE9005 understands all the standards of digital TV, including satellite DVB-S2. That is, it is quite possible to insert a “cable” and wires from two satellite “plates” here.

Alas, even such an expensive TV has one serious drawback. And it's not even about power consumption, which reaches 331 W - it is unlikely that a person who has bought such an expensive device will save on electricity bills. Disappointing TV with its sound. In Sony did not become wise, introducing the simplest acoustics, consisting of two speakers with a capacity of 10 watts. Where is the subwoofer? And why is the number of speakers equal to only two? Competitors have long been working not only on the picture, but also on the sound, while the owner of the Sony KD-75XE9005 will also have to purchase speakers.

Sony KD-65XE9305

Rating: 4.8

Slightly less expensive, but noticeably less large TV. It has a screen with a 65-inch diagonal. Its resolution is 3840x2160 pixels - that is, 4K video content will look perfect. Worth 200 thousand rubles. TV could not get a higher frequency scan. A full-fledged 120 Hz is waiting for the buyer, and this is not some kind of advertising trick, suggesting only a software improvement. Also used here IPS-display has support for HDR technology, thanks to which the colors are more realistic. To appreciate the work of this technology will help another product of Sony - the PlayStation 4 game console. And its Pro version will also please with games in 4K resolution. However, our game console is dedicated to the best separate article.

On the side and rear panels of the TV is a zoo of all kinds of connectors. Most should please four HDMI-jack, necessary for connecting external equipment. Also, this model has received three USB-ports - they are needed to connect peripherals, external hard drives and flash drives. Coaxial audio output is useful for using speakers or a soundbar. However, it is not at all desirable to connect external acoustics, because the built-in one does not have any serious flaws. The fact is that it consists of six speakers, two of which are low-frequency. As a result, the total power of the built-in acoustics reaches 60 watts. A wonderful option for such a large TV! In fact, it is a rare case when a Japanese company thought not only about the image, but also about the sound.

Of course, such a device has the support of absolutely all standards of digital TV. The user can without any problems insert the cable from the satellite dish into the appropriate socket without buying a receiver. Whole product has three independent TV tuners, which is enough in one hundred percent of cases. The operating system of the TV is Android. Perhaps this is one of the few flaws.The fact is that this OS is not best adapted to such a technique, and therefore the time from everyone, even if rarely enough, there are slowdowns. As for the rest, it is very difficult to find fault with the device, this time the Japanese manufacturer tried its best. But be sure to appreciate the work of the TV before buying it! Some buyers have noticed the glare around the edges, which are noticeable when displaying static dark scenes. Please note that for a comfortable viewing of 4K content online you will need a modern router that supports the standard Wi-Fi 802.11ac. You can also connect to the router using a network cable - the Ethernet port is easily detected on the back.

Sony KD-65XD7505

Rating: 4.8

One of the most inexpensive 65-inch TVs from the Japanese manufacturer. For its creation, the Japanese company Sony asks for no more than 107 thousand rubles. At the same time, this product even outperforms more expensive models in some parameters. For example, Sony KD-65XD7505 is much lighter than the device discussed above - the weight of this TV does not exceed 21.5 kg (excluding the stand). Also, the device is not very scary in terms of power consumption. And in terms of supported digital TV standards, it is impossible to find fault with this model - it recognizes DVB-T2, DVB-C, and DVB-S2. That is, the TV is quite capable of determining the signal coming from the satellite dish. Two TV tuners, as it seems, will be enough for the majority of buyers, and it is this number that is set in the final TV rating.

The screen of this model has a 4K resolution. Implemented here and support for HDR - technology that makes colors closer to reality. You can only find fault with the refresh rate of the screen. Do not expect to see here 800 Hz, indicated in the characteristics on all price aggregators - this is the so-called index of update frequency, achieved by software. Technically, the frequency is most likely a bit higher than the standard - you need to wait for 100 or 120 Hz. Which, however, is also very good - cheaper televisions cannot boast of this either. By the way, this model involves not only watching television. On the case of the device you can find three USB ports to which external hard drives and flash drives with pre-recorded content are connected. You can also use Android. Just try to connect the TV to the router with a wire - this will provide a more stable data transfer. But if you watch only YouTube, then Wi-Fi capabilities may be enough.

You can scold the Sony KD-65XD7505 TV only for the acoustics used here. It consists of two speakers, the total power of which does not exceed 20 watts. Of course, the sound can be output to the speakers or soundbar using the optical audio output. But you need to spend extra money on such equipment, which many TV owners do not want to do. However, we do not frighten you - you can’t call a bad sound though. Otherwise, this model simply would not have found a place in this rating.

Conclusion

This is the ranking of the best Sony TVs. As you can see, there are no sinless devices. Any Japanese product has certain disadvantages, even the most expensive. Nevertheless, it is quite possible to consider the option of buying such devices, especially if you agree to pay a certain amount for the brand.
