Sony KD-49XE9005 review
Review: September 2017 | ||
![]() Rating: In a nutshell: The Sony 49XE9005 is one of the priciest 49-inch TVs of 2017, but there's a reason for that. Its direct backlit screen with local dimming delivers outstanding picture quality, whether showing 4K or HDR video. Add in Android TV, a good sound system, and premium design, and the high price is justified. |
