4K TV | £999 | View offers whf.cm/Sony_X85L
For the past couple of years Sony’s X85 series has represented the cheapest part of the brand’s TV range where you could feel confident of still getting a seriously satisfying level of picture quality. This year’s X85Ls, though, as represented here by the 55in KD-55X85L, have taken a step forward by adding local dimming to their specification, opening up the possibility of a much better contrast and HDR performance.
There are plenty of well specified 55in rivals around that cost less than the KD-55X85L, but the addition of local dimming to a direct LED lighting system, VA panel and Sony’s renowned video processing ensures that it doesn’t look expensive. If you want to step up to the 65in X85L you will need £1299.
