Sony XBR-55X800G
Best reliable television for everyday home entertainment.
The Sony XBR-55X800G is a 55-inch LCD 4K UHD TV that offers a resolution of 3840x2160 (2160p) and a claimed 240Hz refresh rate for smoother motion. It features four HDMI inputs, three USB ports, and is internet-enabled with Android TV for access to streaming services like Netflix, YouTube, and Amazon Prime Video. The TV includes built-in Google Assistant for voice control and supports external voice assistants like Amazon Alexa and Google Assistant. Its wide viewing angle provides consistent picture quality from various positions, though dark scenes may appear hazy from the sides. While HD picture quality is very good with natural colors, the HD-to-UHD upconversion falls short. HDR performance is limited due to peak brightness capabilities. Sound quality is decent, suitable for most viewers, and the remote includes direct access buttons for popular streaming services.
