Sony BRAVIA KDL-55W905A Pro Reviews

The Bravia KDL-55W905A is yet another fantastic HDTV from Sony that flies the LED LCD flag high. Although we are again disappointed by the relative lack of advanced calibration controls compared to rival premium TVs, this is partially offset by the accurate out-of-the-box greyscale and colours which, on the whole, ranks as the best we’ve measured on any 2013 flat-screen television so far. That the display hits 2.4 gamma by default in its most accurate [Cinema 1] picture preset is just icing on the cake, delivering pictures that are lusciously rich in image contrast. The Sony W9 is one of a select range of Bravia LED TVs blessed with Triluminos Display technology whose on/off state and intensity can be toggled using the [Live Colour] control in the [Advanced Settings] submenu. We didn’t find the feature useful for regular content, though it may work better with Sony’s “Mastered in 4K” Blu-rays which are meant to support xvYCC extended colour space.
