In the test model was Sony KD-55X9005B with a diagonal of 55 inches (140 cm). The average price – 148 400 rubles.
Design and construction
Sony Televisions older series X9005B remained true to the style of the original, but as a major new “chip” design touted Wedge. TV cabinet has a characteristic “wedge” shape, if you look at it from the side. Due to this TV looks more massive than the ultra-thin models of competitors, but it gives also some pluses 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 – the terms of gloss and chrome. Looks, of course, is beautiful, but there is a downside – any surface TV instantly collects the slightest fingerprints and dust. Probably, the design can be approached more practical, and owners will have to be careful.
Due to the wedge shape of the TV stand was able to reduce to just two chromed “legs”. Moreover, they can be set in different ways: along the edges of the TV set or close to the center. This is convenient because the TV can be mounted on a narrow surface.
Here’s how you can position the legs differently:
In continuation of last year’s model X9005A, new X9005B pays great attention to the built-in sound. Notice this is simple: the sides of the TV installed a full stereo system from several speakers, which we describe in detail later. Of course, this is a very positive impact on the quality of the sound, but the speakers greatly enhance the body and can not remove them. So there is usually opinions are divided: a series X9005B can both attract and scare a few speakers in plain sight.
In our view, the TV looks beautiful, and the main complaint – too easily soiled surface. We have become accustomed to the glass and gloss, but mirrored chrome at home has a chance to quickly get dirty or scratched.
Interfaces, management and functionality
The set of interfaces from Sony X9005B following: 4xHDMI, 3xUSB, Component Y / Pb / Pr, as well as inputs for the general and the satellite dish. There is also a headphone output (3.5 mm), optical audio output TOSLINK, Ethernet port and a slot for CI.
The 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 the TV quite ready for the immediate future.
In the kit included an additional unit with remote connector that connects to the main ports on the rear panel. Perhaps it will be more convenient for wall mounting the TV, but it should be remembered that the remote unit requires a separate power supply as opposed to, for example, the outer blocks Samsung One Connect. This somewhat reduces the convenience of connectivity.
On board TV have digital tuners of all European standards: DVB-T2, DVB-C and DVB-S2. That is, TV is ready to receive digital TV broadcasts of Russian, as well as support cable and satellite TV without any additional 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 there are a variety of files combined audio and video codecs, it is impossible to ensure full compatibility. Some extra-heavy or exotic files can not be played, but in our experience the problem occurred infrequently: TV can even play quietly numerous demos in UHD 2160p, as well as several movies codec HEVC / H.265. So that the compatibility of the built-in player should recognize high.
In the TV comes with two remote: classic push 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.
The touch surface of the mini-remote has good sensitivity, but the TV menu is not too enchanted by the control via the touchpad. For example, free cursor is used only in the browser, otherwise the touch panel flips through the menu items like the buttons. And it has built NFC-label for interfacing with smart phones: smart enough to bring to the panel, 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.
No major differences in X9005B not, but having a touch panel provides some benefit in your browser.
If “push-button” control is not always convenient to work on pages with embedded video, the free cursor controlled by a touchpad works significantly better. Although the accuracy and smoothness could be higher. Nevertheless felt that the system in the first place, “sharpened” under the push-button control. Also Sony KDL-55X9005B got a built-in webcam for Skype, which is neatly hidden in the upper left corner of the TV.
Sound
Last year’s model Sony X9005A won some praise for the quality sound. The new model X9005B, as seen in the design of the TV, only develops this theme. So, we again paraded stereo total capacity of 65 W, which consists of drivers with ferrofluid. Diffusers range speakers are made of 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.
The wedge-shaped body actually contains a separate speaker cabinet for each speaker. And the depth of the body corresponds to the diameter of the speaker, so that this form of housing in the Sony came on purpose. The result is again exceeded our expectations!
The sound has got more depth and, in general, is a model for television audio. Balanced and detailed sound rarely seen on TV, but the audio system Sony can compete with other external speakers. She copes with essential gears and good manifests itself in movies and games, providing a powerful sound with a wide stereo effect. Moreover, in the 2014 model, it was possible to supplement the TV speakers wireless subwoofer. I will assume that the configuration of 2.1 will sound even better, even though the version 2.0 provides a good range of low frequencies.
The stock volume is 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 is able to do even more, but this is not always a convenient option. In the case of Sony X9005B hand is unlikely to 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, as well as pay attention to gauge TV that allows you to compare them in fair conditions with optimal settings.
Factory settings
According to the results of our tests, the 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 the menu “Scene Selection” select “Movie”, there will be available two presets: “Cinema 1″ and “Cinema 2″. The first gives the most accurate picture, which corresponds to the reference color settings. The second option – a combination of neutral shades and vibrant colors in addition for fans of Pictures “hotter.” It is embellished version of “Cinema 2″ is selected by default.
Gamma has the best 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.
The average color temperature – about 6700K, which is very close to the standard 6500K.
In this case, the average error of Delta E – only 0.83 units. Deviation of the gray scale is vanishingly small, so the tint of an image on the eye has an excellent neutrality. There is very little room for improvement.
The 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. Technology changed TRILUMINOS principle, quantum dots QD Vision is no longer used. But the results of her work have remained the same: the color maybe, and look juicier, but strongly distorted because all consumer sources designed for a different palette.
In fact, it is noticeably manifested in the intermediate gradations of colors – they shift after outreach.
