Excellent detail and visibility
Released in 2019, the TV belongs to the mid-range solutions in the Sony lineup. It has a 55-inch IPS screen with Direct-LED backlight. The latter, on the positive side, distinguishes it from related models with a smaller diagonal, for example, KD-49XG8096. Due to it, the image is evenly illuminated, excluding blurs and turbidity. In most use cases, pronounced artifacts do not appear in the picture.
The Sony KD-55XG8096 is capable of playing 4K HDR content (HDR10 and HLG standards). Such video is played with increased brightness level and greater colour depth, that is, it looks clear, juicy and spectacular. In addition, as expected IPS, the image almost does not fade and is not distorted with increasing viewing angles.
Motionflow XR interpolation technology helps with the processing of fast-changing footage. It increases the refresh rate up to 400 fps, thereby adding smoothness.
Sound and interfaces at the level
The acoustic system of the model is represented by a pair of 10-watt speakers with support for popular audio decoders (Dolby and DTS). You can improve the basic sound quality by connecting additional devices, with which both wired interfaces and Bluetooth will help.
The set of ports on the back of the case includes 4 HDMI and 3 USB ports. The urgent need to connect to the Internet via LAN is eliminated by Wi-Fi 5.
Intuitive Android
The Android TV software shell used in the TV has been updated to version 8.0. It combines high performance and prompt response to user commands, an intuitive and well-organized interface, and a rich selection of applications. Quickly master all the possibilities of the shell will allow the remote control with the voice assistant Google Assistant.
Sony KD-55XG8096 is one of the best Android models, which has an enviable ratio of image quality, "smart" functionality and price.
