Description

With the Sony OLED KD-55A8, you can watch movies and series with a lifelike image representation. The 55-inch OLED screen provides an image with real black levels and a realistic color representation. Thanks to the Sony X1 Ultimate processor, colors really come into their own. The smart processor adjusts images with a lower resolution so they're displayed in 4K. This way, you can view sharp and clear images from any source. The Acoustic Surface audio system provides a powerful sound reproduction thanks to the 2 subwoofers. Because the screen serves as a speaker, the audio originates from where the image is. This makes the sound extra realistic. In the Android smart TV platform, you'll find a clear overview of apps, like Netflix and YouTube.

Very good device. Outperforms expectations.

  • Excellent image quality
  • Factory noise beyond expectations

  • Installation can be tricky

I was allowed to test this TV through Reviewclub NL. If you're looking for a TV in this price range, this is a really great buy. The image is a spectacle to see and can be set to your liking with the various pre-sets, although I think that your lively mode makes the colors stand out the most. Black is also really BLACK. With many televisions I have the idea that dark and black colors are quickly faded or grey-ish, but the OLED screen from Sony takes care of that. What you see is what you get. In my experience, you will not get this color reproduction on a QLED of this price range, then you will have to dig deeper into your pocket.

Another positive feature of this television is the sound. Not a weak, flat sound, without some bass. Unlike many televisions, where the speakers are often located at the back, the sound with this television comes from the screen itself. The bass tones were also above expectations for me. Nowadays, a new television and a soundbar go hand in hand. I was pleasantly surprised when I heard that you can leave the soundbar behind with this television. An expansion in sound by, for example, a soundbar and extra speakers gives an even better sound experience, but for a standard model this is quite impressive.

What I found more difficult was setting up the television. The television has a possibility to quickly set up via your WiFi network, but after trying several times, I gave up. The TV could not connect. Manual setup was much faster and was actually quite easy to go through. The one-remote system is also not always handy. This is no problem for providers such as Ziggo or KPN and they can be linked to the supplied remote control. With T-Mobile, for example, this option is not available and you will have to link the TV to your T-Mobile remote. As a result, you will always have to keep using two remote controls, as the T-Mobile remote control has no buttons for the extra functions of the television. Another drawback I found the foot. It is of course a personal opinion, but for me a swivel foot is just a bit more convenient than the supplied legs. The TV is quite vulnerable and then having to turn the entire television can cause problems. I found the connections at the back a bit difficult to position, so the TV had to be moved several times.

Those few drawbacks cannot match the many advantages that the TV has. If you are looking for a good, affordable television, then you are in the right place with this device.

Great television if you're looking for a total package!

  • Pixel Contrast Booster
  • Refined design
  • Great upscaling
  • Playing around with the image makes sense, shouldn't be necessary

Received this television a week ago to test and I was immediately sold.
A fine design with sharp lines, a very small edge around the screen and a very easy attachment of the legs. Once turned on, the television guides you through the (very easy) installation and you can start!
As an avid Netflix user and games (with little regularity) I immediately started performing my favorite activities and I was very surprised!
Razor-sharp image, sufficient adjustment options, intuitive operation and a good viewing angle. The dark tones are so well explained by the Pixel contrast booster that in very dark scenes the various minute color differences are clearly visible. Something I've never seen before. Played a marathon of a good old series after a week, officially in Blu-ray quality. What a picture! Sharp, not too saturated and wonderfully clear.
Recommended for anyone interested in one hell of a television!
