The Sony KDL-W800B series is capable of pleasing shadow detail and decent color performance
One of the better black-level performances from a frame-dimming TV as well as a lack of black uniformity issues

Brilliant image
Excellent treatment of standard def content
Feature-packed
This TV has one of the best pictures of all the high
End LED TVs thanks to its Triluminos display.
The editors didn't like
Terrible 3D performance -- and I mean it really stinks. Local dimming TVs such as the cheaper Vizio E and M series can beat the Sony for blacks And it's on the pricey side
Remote somewhat difficult to use
Somewhat difficult to navigate smart interface
Somewhat difficult to navigate menus
Dimmer than average screen
Overall contrast
Pricier than some competing set
No built-in camera
Less-than-stellar black levels. Slightly off color. Expensive considering the picture quality

Media player, Great 3D, Faithful colours in Cinema mode, Low power consumption
Very low contrast (1,000:1), Mediocre sound quality
The Sony Bravia W805 series is a double-edged sword. It has natural colours, very good 3D and a handy media player, but the contrast is so low that it mars the viewing experience, especially when you watch movies in the dark....
The Sony W802A series of LED-lit LCD HDTVs performs well, but you can find other models that offer better performance for the price—or a lower price for similar performance....
Clever circular stand; Easy mirroring of smart phones via NFC; Decent lineup of smart TV apps; Strong 3D performance; Good standard-definition upscaling
Pricey; TV interface is relatively poor; Black levels could be deeper
The KDL-47W805A delivers good pictures in brighter rooms and has very good standard-definition upscaling. Its mediocre black levels means it's not a great choice for evening movie viewing, however. It's also a tad expensive and its smart TV system lags...

The Sony KDL47W805 doesn't quite scale the heights of the top-end W9, but is a great example of a TV that makes the best of IPS LCD/ passive 3D technology. It delivers quite accurate pictures after calibration, and handles HD, SD and 3D content with aplom...

Excellent greyscale after calibration, Very low input lag for gamers, Very accurate colours post calibration, Picture processing is up there with the best, Viewing angles are good
Weak blacks and contrast, Dirty screen effect ruined lots of content, Dimming system is flawed, Overpriced vs performance
Sony's W805A is certainly a good looker and although its bezel is largely plain black – with just a hint of turquoise – the loop stand is certainly distinct, stylish and it swivels to boot. As is the current trend for high (or highish) end TVs, it ships w...

Bright content looks great, Good online platform, 3D works well, Gaming lag is excellent
Average native contrast performance, Flawed contrast boosting features, Audio is uninspiring, Online interface lacks sophistication
Excitement levels were extremely high for the Sony 47W805, since we fully expected it to deliver much of the performance quality of Sony's W905 series for a much lower price. However, while it retains many of that television's features bar Triluminos, it...
Bright scenes and 3D look good, Lots of online video services, Remarkably low input lag
Has trouble handling dark scenes, Apps list lacks structure, Visible line structure with 3D
There are times when the Sony KDL-47W805A's pictures look great, its Smart TV and operating system are both good, and its low input lag is a big attraction for gamers. It's reasonably aggressively priced, as well.However, its problems with dark scenes mak...
Abstract: At Reviewed.com, we're big fans of technology—maybe you've noticed. We're approaching the middle of 2013, and we couldn't be more excited. TV companies are starting to release their latest and greatest displays; we've already seen some masterpieces from P...
The 55-inch sized, Sony Bravia 55W800C is undoubtedly an expensive TV at somewhere in the Rs. 140,000 price range. You will come across at more affordable, smaller but 4K-enabled TVs than this. The Sony Bravia 55W800C is a practical TV today. It runs the...
