Sony KD-55XD9305 review

The Sony KD 55XD9305.


Glowing splendor


We have the Sony KD-55XD9305 on the test: Already in the video issue 5/2016 provided the 65-inch model for Fuore. The chic design and the superior technology made the new development particularly interesting for the testers. However, in April, the series was not yet ready, so the editors could not test all the features. For example, the USB recording was not yet implanted and when importing HDR signals via HDMI, there were problems. Particularly to the latter case, later it turned out that entrants and TV did not immediately tolerate and an adjustment of the adjustment was necessary. In fact, the Sony HDR TVs tested so far are all capable of playing HDR signals over HDMI as well.


Conclusion


Waiting for the recording function was worth it. The Sony TV is capable of recording a program, while displaying a second one. However, two recordings in parallel is not available. The finished shots he shows clearly in a list with screenshot and stores also the contents on the USB memory. On the free TVSideview smartphone and tablet app, it is even possible to search for a keyword across the recording list.


Lesetipp: HDMI 2.0 - all information about the UHD connection


Thus the viewer himself finds on a very full record still the favorite films. However, this search can also be extended to the EPG and its own media files, so the app also takes over the administration of the media. On the app as well as on the TV panel itself also convinces the structure of the EPG. Ten programs are displayed on a screen, including starting content. With this overview, timer programming is set quickly.


In the image test the top model gave itself no nakedness. The X1 signal processor already had SD-feeds comparatively sharply contoured on the panel write. Especially strong was the Sony but synonymous in contrast. Thanks to the newly developed slim backlight drive, its local dimming worked particularly effectively, which otherwise would be rather moderate for edge LED televisions. This was the main reason for HDR playback. In dark areas, he also offered a clear detail reproduction as in extremely bright parts. Its color reproduction was also at the standard level.


By the way: In preparation for the football championships, participating dealers will still be eligible for a discount campaign for the SD85, XD85, XD93 (94) series until 10 July 2017. When buying a 55-inch wager then 100 euro in the form of a gift voucher. For 65-inch cars there are 200 and for 75 inches even 500 euros.


Extremely brilliant top model, which is designed from front to back and can be easily managed.
