Sony KD-49XE9005

Sony KD-49XE9005 is a representative of the top segment of 4K televisions. The model boasts rich features and a plethora of advanced functions onboard, which it utilizes without hesitation.

Realistic Picture

The television display is built with Triluminos technology — instead of conventional LEDs, it uses backlighting based on quantum dots, providing worthy competition to QLED and OLED panels. The screen displays true-to-life colors with a high degree of realism — sometimes the viewer literally immerses into what's happening on the screen.

HDR Content

The main focus of the television is on ultra-high resolution content reproduction, along with an extended dynamic range, for which it supports two HDR specifications: HLG and HDR10. Additionally, the model is equipped with full-array local dimming, allowing brightness and depth of black tones to vary not across the entire screen, but in certain areas of the image.

Upscaling

In the absence of the right content, the Sony KD-49XE9005 upscales video to UltraHD from a lower resolution (starting from 1280x720 pixels). The high quality of the broadcast image is supported by the 4K X-Reality PRO system, which helps eliminate noise, as well as normalize the parameters of color, brightness, and contrast of the image.

Premium Class

The television operates on AndroidTV — a fast and convenient operating system with a huge range of compatible apps, support for voice commands, and many other perks. The only drawback of the model is the sound quality from the built-in speakers, but this issue is easily resolved by connecting an external audio system to it. You'll have to pay a lot for this television, but it’s worth it — numerous reviews from satisfied owners of the 49-inch panel are vivid proof of that.
