We’re dropping down to 43 inches to give you an option with a more established brand. Sony’s 4K TVs might not feature the industry-leading tech and quality they used to, but the X800 series is still a good product.
The screen’s ability to produce quality pictures even when viewed at wide angles makes it an excellent option for a bigger room, assuming you’re happy with the size (there is a larger option for $100 more). The issue with its screen is that blacks don’t appear all that deep due to slightly poor contrast. For that reason, it’s not the best performer in a dark room setting.
Judged as an overall package when it debuted, the X800 was perhaps a little overpriced for the performance it offered. But now the price has dropped into the budget range, it’s well worth considering.
Importantly, it’s a great TV for gaming thanks to its fast motion which has little trail and low input lag in both HD and 4K.
