The power supply was simply installed externally, the number of connectivity options such as USB or HDMI was also reduced to a minimum, as well as the base, which is very narrow, but it can give an impression of high quality due to the metal. That it can be used as a wall bracket, is already a brilliant performance of the engineers.
Another smear I think is perhaps the design on the back that you would like to give the last lower part of the functionality and has waived the design. Thus, the small hump on the back is meant. Minimalists and design fans could get a little dislikes here. From my perspective, this is a clever smear was however again. The back feels a whole, however, due to the rough surface very robust to. Also in the package in which the TV comes along, costs were saved clearly. This too is in my view makes sense in order to push the price can.
The other concessions are located in the technical area. For example, the 3D TV, but no 2D-to-3D conversion.
In addition, the Sony Pictures represent only a maximum of 200 Hz Motionflow. Here, too, has been saved from my point of view in the right places. Because the conversion will use only a few customers, I for example never before, and the Motionflow well as the techniques of the competitors in my opinion, a feature that I had always switched off as it has shown an accelerated image with jerkiness.
Where Sony has not saved: On the picture quality!
The black is excellent, the colors brilliant and illuminating my device absolutely homogeneous. Mir has not a body noticed occurred at the Clouding. In addition, my movements appear very fluid. Stuttering here are not noticed. Also vertical or horizontal stripes in fast sequences having some TVs, unfortunately, does not have this Sony. In addition, the brightness is so good that the picture is even visible during the day.
The only weak point might be the angle of view that is unfortunately less based on the selected panels from AUO than an IPS panel. For this TV has just the other aforementioned advantages.
The menu runs absolutely smoothly and in my view it is clear. The screen mirroring with Nexus devices ran smoothly and flawlessly.
Smart TV or other apps that for me too little long-term motivation have -whether now on smartphone, tablet or TV, I think a total of not much and got this therefore has not tested through its paces. However, what is important to me that I also may enable fast times Music Videos / Youtube and other while relaxing. Here, the TV has for example a tape.tv App. Another noteworthy app is max cathedrals. In addition, Sony offers its own services from Sony Entertainment Network.
But what is much more important to call, previously ran all getesten Apps, Applications and functions flawlessly! The slightest trace of software errors I could not tell.
For sound, unfortunately I can not say much because I have connected an external system.
My conclusion: Who compromising the above points can accept, which can access bedenklos. A TV, which performs excellently in the core and has saved -to our Gunsten- to clever places to compete on price with the competition can.
