Sony XF9005: Our opinion 2018

2:39 AM Posted by JPB No Comments

The Sony XF9005 is a high-end 2018-2019 model, one of the best we can buy during this year. We recommend waiting until June-July since its price before is too high. As an picture quality we can say that this TV is one of the best, outside the OLED, the panel is FALD and incorporates the X1 Extreme video processor, which works really well. the number of ~~zones that are controlled is 60~~ and has a good level of brightness. The resolution is UltraHD 4K and compatible with HDR10 and perhaps with Dolby Vision if it is added this summer. The Smart platform is AndroidTV 7.0 that takes a few years with Sony improving every year, as a novelty highlights Google Assistant that is integrated, but we expect new update in a few months to Android 8.0. Audio is not the best thing about this TV and if you want to really enjoy home cinema we recommend buying an external sound bar. It is a good TV for gamers also with a low inputlag: Input lag 40 ms (Game Mode).

Our opinion Sony XF9005 (veredict):

Our opinion about the Sony XF9005 is very good, it is probably for the second consecutive year the best TV quality-price, if your budget does not reach the OLED TV. This will be the best LCD-LED TV since Sony does not update its XE9305 model this year. The competitors will be the best Samsung QLED or the LG Nanocell, in our opinion it will cost them to reach this level. Both the processor and the type of panel are the best and if its price continues to drop from 1600 output we recommend your purchase for all types of families and uses. It is an ideal TV for those who want to enjoy video games, movies or sports although we do not recommend it if the angle of vision is going to be mainly large, since for that case a TV with IPS panel is better.

This TV is the evolution of one of the best televisions of Sony 2017: the XE9005, and the main difference is increases the number of local attenuation zones and the Extreme X1 processor so it improves a bit the picture quality.
