55"...[hdtvtest.co.uk]...Sony KD55XH9505 review

We review the Sony KD55XH9505BU (also marketed as the Bravia XBR55X950H in the USA) 4K LED LCD TV, which features full-array local dimming direct-lit LED backlighting, X1 Ultimate video processor, X-Motion Clarity black zonal insertion system, X-Wide Angle tech, HDR support for HDR10, HLG and Dolby Vision but not HDR10+, upgraded Acoustic Multi-Audio sound, as well as Android 9.0 Pie Smart TV platform.

Note that at 5:35, we purposely drove the backlight higher and filmed off-axis for the purpose of counting the number of local dimming zones. Blooming was less apparent in real-world actual viewing.

Picture Quality:

We can see the XH9505 sub-pixel structure slightly clearer than that we captured on the ZF9 we tested sometime ago,suggesting that the viewing angle compensation film has been tweaked.
Once peak white was aligned to 120 cd/m2 on 4x4 ANSI checkerboard pattern, native black level measured 0.043 cd/m2 ,which on paper is slightly shallower than the 0.03 cd/m2 expected from the best VA panels,but least not as bright as the 0.07 cd/m2 measured on the ZF9. In practice the black level of the 55XH9505 did not look visibly inferior to other VA LCDs with 0.03 nits black.To a certain degree we suspect that the backlight homogeneity imparted by X-Wide Angle actually equalizes the perception of black depth versus other 0.03 nits VA LCDs whose blacks and gamma would brighten of axis.Now ,I know some of you will claim that off axis contrast and gamma shift doesn't concern you,because you always watch your tv straight on anyway,but even if you sit directly in front of the television the sides of the screen will always hit your eyes at an angle,especially as televisions get bigger and bigger.We think that tweaked viewing angle compensation film on the XH95 that's a good job of improving VA type LCD viewing angles and gamma uniformity across the entire screen without incurring any visually significant drop in perceived contrast.


55XH9505: 6 vertical columns x 8 horizontal rows = 48 independently dimmable zones,which is exact the same number on the 55XG9505 ,as exact 55XF9005.
Having tested various tvs from all manufacturers who still produce full array local dimming or FALD LED LCDs in this day and age,I remain of the opinion that Sony has the best local dimming algorithm in the business,which seek to maintain accuracy while keeping backlight fluctuations to a minimum. In this challenging scene from "Gravity" as Sandra Bullock is hurtling through space the Sony XH95 produced a more stable image with less vignetting effect than Samsung's QE55Q80T ,which is also equipped with full array local dimming.However ,even the most advanced local dimming software cannot fully compensate for a limited number of physical local dimming zones of only 48 segments.So in HDR mode you may see blooming artifacts seeping into letterbox bars from adjacent bright objects.
Switching "Auto local dimming" from the most accurate setting of "medium" to "high" would reduce the blooming,but also compress the highlights and shadow detail thus deviating from accuracy,so it's not something we would advise. Instead,we recommend using some gentle bias lighting which can make letterbox bars look blacker and blooming less apparent.Of course,if you as viewer want to see absolutely no blooming in a pitch-black room ,you would have to go with self emissive display technologies such as OLED ,that boast pixel level light control. The FALDs Samsung QLEDs come close,but they have to sacrifice shadow detail and luminance accuracy to achieve this.


Highly recommended

Sony KD55XH9505 vs Samsung QE55Q80T

We compare the picture quality of the Samsung Q80T QLED vs Sony XH95 (also marketed as the Bravia X950H in the USA) 4K LED TV in a side-by-side comparison. Aspects covered include local dimming, colour accuracy, motion, upscaling, screen uniformity, HDR, game mode, reflection handling and viewing angle.
Both 2020 TVs are 55 inches in screen size which retails for £1599 in the UK at launch, model number Samsung QE55Q80T and Sony KD-55XH9505 respectively.

Note: From 7:22 to 8:11 during the HDR luminance heatmap comparison, the source footage exhibited greyer blacks and more shadow detail than the filmed footage of the televisions. This is because the source footage was captured in HDR10 PQ (perceptual quantisation) and then rendered in SDR for this video, not to mention our camera didn't have enough dynamic range to capture all the shadow detail from the TV screens. In other words, the heatmap analysis is only valid for brightness above 100 nits owing to how it was conducted.

We review the Sony A8 (also marketed as the Bravia A8H in the USA), a 2020 4K OLED TV from the Japanese brand. Topics covered include near-black handling, colour accuracy, motion performance including X-Motion Clarity 120Hz BFI, upscaling, gradation, HDR including Dolby Vision, and input lag for gaming.

Our review sample is the 65-inch Sony KD-65A8, but the Sony A8 is also available in a smaller screen size of 55 inches (model number KD-55A8).

Conclusion

Sony A8H in the US (A8 in Europe) represents the step down from Sony's flagship OLED TVs and it is a direct competitor to the new Panasonic HZ1000 and LG CX OLED TVs.

Sony A8H (A8) is not a major upgrade over last year's 8 series but it does come with some added features, including Dolby Atmos decoding support to let you pull down Atmos from Netflix and other apps, as well as eARC. In terms of picture quality it is still a top performer and by adding a much-improved black frame insertion, or BFI, (under MotionFlow) system to the mix, you can get improved motion on OLED, although at the cost of brightness. On the other hand it lacks HDMI 2.1 ports, including features like VRR, ALLM and of course 4K120 HFR, which will be supported by the next-generation of game consoles that are expected to hit the market in late 2020.

Sony Android TV has reached version 9 but there is not much new under the sun. You have access to apps and games from the Google Play store, and with both Chromecast and AirPlay 2 on board you can also push content wirelessly onto the screen from a smartphone or tablet. Sony's underlying TV menus have been tweaked and are in general responsive and pleasant to use.

Sony A8H (A8) is priced a little higher than LG CX and Panasonic HZ1000. It is more feature-packed than the latter but does not fully match the features of LG CX, with its HDMI 2.1 ports and functions. It is up to you to decide whether that matters but ultimately, given the competitive field, Sony's TV falls just short of our Highly Recommended Award.
