But for the Sony logo and a glowing LED saucer beneath the panel, the KD55X8505C would have passed for an all-black affair in terms of styling. A matte black bezel frames the semi-glossy LCD screen, and the supporting “wire rack” table-top stand is finish...
  • The Sony KD-55X8505C produces a pleasing image, even though it's understandably outperformed by its more expensive X93C and X94C cousins which are equipped with LED local dimming. Looking further afield, the flat-screen Samsung JU7000 (the 55-incher costs...

Sony offers a veritable army of 4K TVs , from the curved S85C to the high-res audio enabled XD93. The 55-inch X8505C reviewed here is one of its most affordable models – and in some respects it actually betters some of its more expensive stablemates. Here...

The 55in KD-55X8505C is the honey trap for Sony's 2015 4K UHD models. Priced considerably below the ultra-slim X90C and the hi-res audio-capable X93C/X94C behemoths, this is UHD for the brand-buying mainstream. The design is conventionally thin, with a sl...

The Sony X8505B is a mid-range UHD TV that, unlike most of the brand's models, has an IPS panel. That means passive 3D technology (two pairs of glasses included). The other features are pretty standard Sony: a 400 Hz refresh rate, the usual connected serv...

With a price like that, we're not expecting a diamond and fur lining (although that would be quite a sight). This is a more stripped-back affair.It doesn't have its bigger brothers' massive built-in speakers or the aesthetically pleasing (yet stable) wedg...

What is the Sony KD-55X8505? The 55X8505 is a 55-inch 4K/UHD TV from Sony's ‘budget' 4K range, costing just £1,800 versus the £2,400 or so you'll need to bag yourself Sony's flagship 55-inch 4K TV, the 55X9005B . So, the 55X8505 clearly has more mass mark...

Sony's flagship 4K TV, the X9005 is a thing of absolute beauty and possibly the best TV we've seen so far in 2014. That comes at quite a price, however, and many will be looking to make the entry into the Ultra HD market with something more affordable. Th...

The Sony X85 series is the company's entry-level 4K TV range. It sits below the higher-end X9 and flagship X95 series, and comes in 65in, 55in and 49in variants. This KD-55X8505B is one of the more affordable 4K TVs around. Better still, it's rather good...
