Average score from experts who have reviewed this product.
Crisp, detailed and vibrant picture, Strong, deep blacks, Good smart features, Sleek and sturdy build, Good connectivity and easy to use,
Black scenes can swallow finer detail, Colour balance could be more natural, Standard def is quite noisy,
The Sony's 55in screen is the biggest draw here. You could easily buy a 4K resolution screen for less (the Panasonic TX-40CX680B at £700, for instance) but you would be sacrificing the benefits of having a large, vibrant screen.The KDL-55W805C may not be...
s The Sony KDL50W800B 50-inch 1080p 120Hz 3D Smart LED TV will make game lovers everywhere applaud its performance. If we were to pick some setbacks, we'd opt for the poor Smart TV capabilities, 3D performance and poor viewing angles. Our overall grade: 8...

Media player, Great 3D, Faithful colours in Cinema mode, Low power consumption
Very low contrast (1,000:1), Mediocre sound quality
The Sony Bravia W805 series is a double-edged sword. It has natural colours, very good 3D and a handy media player, but the contrast is so low that it mars the viewing experience, especially when you watch movies in the dark....
The Sony W802A series of LED-lit LCD HDTVs performs well, but you can find other models that offer better performance for the price—or a lower price for similar performance....
Clever circular stand; Easy mirroring of smart phones via NFC; Decent lineup of smart TV apps; Strong 3D performance; Good standard-definition upscaling
Pricey; TV interface is relatively poor; Black levels could be deeper
The KDL-47W805A delivers good pictures in brighter rooms and has very good standard-definition upscaling. Its mediocre black levels means it's not a great choice for evening movie viewing, however. It's also a tad expensive and its smart TV system lags...

The Sony KDL47W805 doesn't quite scale the heights of the top-end W9, but is a great example of a TV that makes the best of IPS LCD/ passive 3D technology. It delivers quite accurate pictures after calibration, and handles HD, SD and 3D content with aplom...

Excellent greyscale after calibration, Very low input lag for gamers, Very accurate colours post calibration, Picture processing is up there with the best, Viewing angles are good
Weak blacks and contrast, Dirty screen effect ruined lots of content, Dimming system is flawed, Overpriced vs performance
Sony's W805A is certainly a good looker and although its bezel is largely plain black – with just a hint of turquoise – the loop stand is certainly distinct, stylish and it swivels to boot. As is the current trend for high (or highish) end TVs, it ships w...

Bright content looks great, Good online platform, 3D works well, Gaming lag is excellent
Average native contrast performance, Flawed contrast boosting features, Audio is uninspiring, Online interface lacks sophistication
Excitement levels were extremely high for the Sony 47W805, since we fully expected it to deliver much of the performance quality of Sony's W905 series for a much lower price. However, while it retains many of that television's features bar Triluminos, it...
Bright scenes and 3D look good, Lots of online video services, Remarkably low input lag
Has trouble handling dark scenes, Apps list lacks structure, Visible line structure with 3D
There are times when the Sony KDL-47W805A's pictures look great, its Smart TV and operating system are both good, and its low input lag is a big attraction for gamers. It's reasonably aggressively priced, as well.However, its problems with dark scenes mak...
