Sony Bravia KD65XD7505 65-Inch Android 4K HDR Ultra HD Smart LED TV with Youview, Freeview HD (2016 Model) - Black [Energy Class A]

Arrived before expect and was very excited receiving the TV, was hard to get out off the box as it was my 1st TV I'd ever brought for myself and set up... however it was easy to apply the stand and looks great in my bedroom. Only troubles Ive had with the TV are occasionally when I'm playing xbox or something for a while the tv will change channel and show me a advert for a movie from google not sure how to stop this? But it's annoying I don't want ads on my TV let alone through playing games. Had some trouble with my Ariel as well and receiving channels but I think that's a problem with in the Ariel. Over all a great TV the picture is vibrant and beautiful and I got everything I wanted within a Sony TV for a cheap price. 😊

Replacing my 10 year old Panasonic plasma with this I was hoping for big things.The actual set is quite deep and the surround feels very cheep, it's kind of a plasticky off black and not quite what I was expecting from Sony. That said there is nothing wrong but just a little shock to the expectations.Loading up the TV was a very simple affair and the google android software is beautiful, far far better than I had anticipated.The ifra red blaster is also excellent and allows you to control things like your sky set top box from your TV remote, although some ability to refine the speed at which it "talks" to the set top would be good.So why only two stars, well, given how little UHD content there is at present I wanted a tv that renders a decent picture on SD and HD, however the image is simply a bag of pixels. it's awful to the point of thinking it could be faulty in some way. The backlight is also patchy at the edge which draws your eye on light scenes.The sound is also very poor sounding almost mono and very thin, no depth what so ever, and my previous tv was no standout in that regard either. I would say a sound bar is essential.I took a trip to my local TV shop and checked out the next model up the XD80, same size but a jump in price. Oh wow, what a difference the bezel is crisp and precise, the panel is extra thin. But the real upgrade is in the picture quality, it's superb. Sound is also much improved. Needless to say I walked out with one!One puzzle I'm still left with is HDR. The Sony site lists both as HDR. But the xd70 doesn't reference this anywhere on the box or manual... a tv that doesn't shout about the latest must have feature! Very strange.On the xd80 HDR is loud and proud, stamped on the box and stuck on the TV.My advice unless your of questionable eyesight buy the xd80 it's superior where it needs to be and has all the same great features.

This TV is a well-specified big-screen budget TV. It has a lovely picture (once you dial-down the factory settings and turn some of the more intrusive digital smoothing controls off). It is full 4K with HDR and is very impressive whether watching source material in 4K or HD. It does a really good job of up-scaling HD - I noticed pin-sharp resolution on the edges of the black letterbox bars at the top and bottom of a 1:2.35 widescreen blu-ray, a real improvement that is clearly visible. In fact it's very difficult to detect whether you are watching HD or 4K, although a particularly well shot scene or close-up may really pop, alerting you to the fact you are watching 4K (and, of course, it depends upon how close to the TV you are sitting).The big let-down here are the black levels which is clearly where the money has been saved. Compared to my five-year-old mid-range Sony TV, I immediately noticed that black levels are not as good causing immediate disappointment. There is a digital control you can use to improve blacks which works well but this feature produces a very annoying affect where the picture struggles for a split second to find the right level when cutting from a very light to very dark image. This is exaggerated when watching subtitles which often has bright white text against a dark background and makes the TV unwatchable. This feature, useful in theory, in practice is so annoying it is best left switched off. Putting a strip of LED lights (e.g., Philips Hue range) around the edge of the rear of the TV set to medium or low brightness is a good trick to improving contrast and makes the picture more watchable.Great range of features and Android apps, although a little sluggish when navigating. Would have liked some kind of cable management system via the stand (i.e., a centre pedestal) because there's no way to avoid visible cables hanging down (unless you have the TV on a very low stand).The TV has voice control but, annoyingly, the required remote is not supplied and will cost you an extra £50 (you get a vanilla basic remote).Generally quite pleased with this but I think I'll spend more money next time.

Reads well but this is not a great TV from Sony. If you have only got 770 to spend buy a Samsung or an LG. I returned mine and bought an XD8599, it's a few hundred quid more but a few hundred well spent.I am a bit of a tv geek.... 2 important things for LED TV's; Lots of Htz and edge lighting, this has neither. I thought the back lighting might be good but it isn't.This TV is Sony trying to get a bit of the market they haven't got (and shouldn't get..... they are better than this).
