design and construction
older Sony TV series X9005B remained true to the style of the brand, as well as a major new “chip” design touted Wedge. TV cabinet has a characteristic “wedge” shape, if you look at it sideways. In this TV looks more massive than the ultra-thin models competitors, but it gives some pluses and in practical terms.
Front of the TV, as usual, is a seamless plane is covered with single glass. And, as usual, Sony used qualitative and spectacular finishing materials – gloss and chrome circle. Looks definitely beautiful, but there is a downside – any surface instantly collects TV slightest fingerprints and dust. Probably to the design can be approached more practical, and owners will have to be careful.
Thanks
wedge shaped TV stand managed to reduce to just two chromed “legs”. Moreover, they can be set in different ways: by either the TV edges closer to the center. This is convenient because you can set the TV to a narrow surface.
Here’s how you can position the legs differently:
Continuing last year’s model X9005A, new X9005B pays great attention to the built-in sound. It’s easy to notice: the TV set on the sides of several full stereo speakers, which we describe in detail later. Of course, this is a very positive impact on the sound quality, but significantly increase the body dynamics, and can not remove them. So there is usually divided opinions: X9005B series can both attract and scare a few speakers in plain sight.
In our opinion, the TV looks beautiful, and the main complaint – too easily soiled surface. We have become accustomed to the glass and gloss, but chrome mirror at home has a chance to quickly get dirty or scratched.
interfaces, management and functionality
set of interfaces from Sony X9005B following: 4xHDMI, 3xUSB, Component Y / Pb / Pr, as well as inputs for general and satellite dish. Also there is a headphone jack (3.5 mm), optical audio output TOSLINK, Ethernet port and a slot for CI.
HDMI ports here have the latest version 2.0 and supports Ultra HD video with a resolution of 3840 x 2160 (2160p) at 60 Hz. That is quite ready TV to the immediate future.
bundled with an additional block with external connectors, which is connected to the main ports on the rear panel. Perhaps it will be more convenient for wall mounting the TV, but we should remember that remote unit requires a separate power supply as opposed to, for example, external blocks Samsung One Connect. It lowers convenient connections.
Onboard TV has digital tuners all European standards: DVB-T2, DVB-C and DVB-S2. Ie TV is ready to receive digital TV broadcasts of Russian, as well as support cable and satellite TV without the extra hassle. In addition, there is a function recording unencrypted digital channels on USB-drives, and the latest update adds support for simultaneous recording and viewing of two different channels (dual tuner).
USB connectors allow you to connect external drives and play entertainment content. Supports most popular formats, including MKV. But since most files found different combinations of audio and video codecs, it can not guarantee complete compatibility. Some very heavy or exotic files can not reproduce, but in our practice problems occurred infrequently: TV can even play quietly numerous demos in UHD 2160p, as well as several movies codec HEVC/H.265. So compatibility built-in player should recognize high.
In
TV comes with two radios: a classic button and a mini remote with touchpad and tagged NFC. Normal control is not too comfortable in the hand, but with their functions to cope.
Touch surface mini-remote has good sensitivity, but the TV menu is not too enchanted by the control via touchpad. For example, free cursor is used only in the browser, otherwise the touch panel scrolls menu items like the buttons. And it has built NFC-label for interfacing with smart phones: smart enough to bring to the console, as it will be “bound” to a TV remote control and image transfer to the big screen, which is very convenient.
Sony Entertainment Network
We have examined in detail the system of Sony Entertainment Network on the example of the TV Sony KDL-50W817B.
Serious differences have X9005B not, but presence of a touch panel provides some benefit in your browser.
If “push-button” control is not always convenient to work on pages with embedded video, then the free-driven cursor with the touchpad works significantly better. Although the accuracy and precision could be higher. Nevertheless felt that the system in the first place, “sharpened” under the push-button control. Also Sony KDL-55X9005B got built-in webcam for Skype, which is neatly tucked away in the upper left corner of the TV.
Sound
Last year’s model
Sony X9005A won some praise for the quality of sound. The new model X9005B, as seen on TV design, only develops this theme. So, we again paraded stereo total capacity of 65 W, which consists of speakers with ferrofluid. Diffusers made of broadband loudspeakers fiberglass. Emitted directly to the viewer the sound is good in itself, but in this case Sony found an additional way to improve the sound.
Tapered body actually contains separate acoustic cabinet for each speaker. And the depth of the case matches the diameter of the speaker, so that this form of housing in the Sony came on purpose. Again, the result surpassed our expectations!
sound acquired more depth and, in general, is a model for television audio. Balanced and detailed sound rarely seen on TV, but Sony audio system can compete with other external speakers. She copes with essential gears and good manifests itself in movies and games, providing an energetic sound with wide stereo effect. Moreover, in 2014 models an opportunity to supplement the TV speakers wireless subwoofer. I will assume that the configuration of 2.1 will sound even better, even though version 2.0 provides a good range of low frequencies.
margin volume suitable for spacious rooms, but at high volume appear unwanted distortion. Perhaps this is the main drawback of TV speaker system. Otherwise it always pleases – especially when you consider that this integrated solution. Of course, a separate home theater system and is capable of more, but this is not always a convenient option. In the case of Sony X9005B hand hardly reach for the remote control to turn off the TV’s own sound.
Image
As usual, we focus on the main TV functions – creating impressive images that would meet all quality standards. To objectively evaluate the image, we use the best tests and videobenchmarki, and also pay attention to the calibration of TVs that you can compare them in fair conditions with optimal settings.
factory settings
Judging by the results of our tests, Sony TVs boast almost better than the factory settings. In general, the list is always a picture mode that gives impeccable color accuracy. TV Sony X9005B was no exception, but only confirmed this trend.
If
in the “Scene Selection” select “Movies”, here are two presets are available: “Cinema 1″ and “Cinema 2″. The first gives the most accurate picture that corresponds to the reference color settings. The second option – a combination of a neutral shade and additionally saturated colors for lovers Pictures “hotter”. It is embellished version of “Cinema 2″ is proposed by default.
Gamma has an optimal average value of 2.21. In the “Cinema 2″ is included dynamic backlight mode and software processing to enhance the contrast, so that the real scale can swim.
average color temperature – about 6700K, which is very close to the standard 6500K.
The average error Delta E – only 0.83 units. Deviations of a gray scale is vanishingly small, so that the image on the eye shade has a gorgeous neutral. There is very little room for additional improvement.
color gamut in the “Cinema 2″ exceeds the standard Rec. 709 (HDTV) in red and green. Because our eyes are most sensitive to these colors, the image is significantly more complete, if not – colorful.
