I would like to share my opinion on TV. I've owned it for almost a year. Remarkable image quality is its biggest plus. They took it before the new year, went to the store, so to speak, made themselves a gift. So we looked at it clearly. I do not want to name other brands so that there is no anti-advertising. But when compared, the picture is better, the sound is louder and more bass, and the menu is surprisingly fast. I have an android phone, and therefore I figured out the menu very quickly, everything is similar here. There is a voice dial. It works well, but sometimes with errors, you have to delete and re-say. Although the image is saturated with good detail, there are small highlights in two places, which can be seen in dark scenes. Sometimes the remote is dull. 4K works great, very smooth. But the menu almost does not work while browsing. You have to pause. The sound, as I already wrote, is loud, bass. I have enough for a room of 20 squares. Children often play games on the console, where the image quality is generally prohibitive. It's so sharp that it looks like a photograph. I like the ability to search and install applications. The choice is large. The remote sometimes freezes. Great screen. Quick navigation. Android. Nice sound. Full 4K. While watching 4K navigation, there is no TC, everything slows down. There are lights. The remote control hung a couple of times.  Anton Ch: use Sony KD-75XF8596 few months |
The model with a 55-inch diagonal represents the middle price segment and is very close to the manufacturer's top-end TVs. For example, in terms of appearance, it is generally identical with one of the brand leaders — Sony KD-55XF9005: it received L-shaped legs, a thin frame around the display, a neat back surface with a good set of interfaces: 4 HDMI, 3 USB, LAN, composite and optical output, mini-Jack.
Clear and rich picture
The Sony KD-55XF8596 10-bit matrix supports UltraHD resolution. The picture looks bright and juicy, especially if it is high-quality HDR content. Colour accuracy is average by default, but can be improved with settings.
Due to the lack of local dimming, the image lacks contrast, which is easy to feel when watching video in the dark. At the same time, when changing viewing angles, the picture retains its brightness and colour saturation.
Smooth footage
The matrix in the Sony KD-55XF8596 supports a frame rate of 120 Hz. As a result, in sports broadcasts, games and various dynamic scenes, the picture changes smoothly, without jerking, flickering or other artifacts. Additionally, the proprietary Motionflow XR technology improves motion reproduction. It involves the insertion of additional frames and programmatically accelerates the video sequence up to 1000 frames / sec.
Wide multimedia possibilities
Fans of television programs will appreciate the built-in digital TV tuners that support various signal formats. Additional entertainment options are offered by the Android 7.0 operating system with a rich selection of applications and services from Google Play. The platform’s shortcomings include a slightly overloaded platform interface, but a convenient multimedia remote and Google Assistant voice assistant will help you get used to it.
The disadvantage of the model is a low-power audio system. Acoustics format 2.0 at 20 W can usually boast even FullHD-TVs of the initial and middle segment. Otherwise, the Sony KD-55XF8596 will definitely suit sports fans, as well as all those who often watch videos with friends.
