The Sony KDL-W800B series is capable of pleasing shadow detail and decent color performance; one of the better black-level performances from a frame-dimming TV as well as a lack of black uniformity issues; very low lag means it's great for gamers; a refre
Terrible 3D performance -- and I mean it really stinks. Local dimming TVs such as the cheaper Vizio E and M series can beat the Sony for blacks And it's on the pricey side
The Sony KDL-W800B series is a classy television with excellent color and shadow detail, but in pure bang-for-buck terms, its black level can be bettered for much less....
Abstract: Once calibrations are made the picture quality on the W800B is very good from both HD and standard definition sources, though not as strong as those top units with a clear coat screen or top 4K TVs. The light-flow through the screen is not quite as pr...

Sony's W802A proved to be a formidable TV for everyday use – particularly for viewing in daylight – providing a sharp image, a feature packed smart interface, and that telltale Sony appeal, all wrapped in a handsome frame. We enjoyed the TV for sports, ...
Android TV, Great design, Good picture quality after you've tweaked settings,
Android TV has a few odd quirks, Subpar viewing angles, You'll need to tweak picture settings a bit for the best results,
At AUD$1,799, the Sony 50W800C is a compelling midrange TV option. While it's capable of great picture quality, there's a few issues that could be deal breakers. The biggest is the TV's viewing angle; if you were hoping to put the 50W800C in a larger roo...
The 55-inch sized, Sony Bravia 55W800C is undoubtedly an expensive TV at somewhere in the Rs. 140,000 price range. You will come across at more affordable, smaller but 4K-enabled TVs than this. The Sony Bravia 55W800C is a practical TV today. It runs the...
