Amazingly, the box is hardly larger than a 55 incher. Thus I could easily carry him lying in my Q5. The screw on of legs you should definitely do with a second person. In addition, the device is then so big, bulky and heavy so you should be sure to second when unpacking and installation.
To I can not recommend the provider to locate the cable programs (Kabel BW, Unitymedia * puke *) select, because then the order of the channels can not be changed. Simply select any cable provider and then everything sort manually to their own taste. But that should each decide for themselves. The channel search is quite fast and the re-sorting could be designed hardly user-friendly. It marked a station and enters the target position. Confirm finished. In the satellite transmitter search it is very similar and I found a little confusing the different selection criteria and with me not at first all channels are found. I did this but anyway made for testing purposes only, as I always watch all my hard disk recorder.
Sony typically - (is already my fourth in a row) and what I love about Sony - you have to adjust anything on screen. The factory settings are so perfect that any further change would probably mean a Verschlimmbesserung. So if you're not quite sure way prefer finger. Even the audio return channel has been activated automatically and are thus in my TV receiver and fused into a solid unit. If I turn off the TV, the receiver goes out also. That's the way it has to be. Logically, there was no reason for me to adjust something on clay.
The picture is brilliant. I do not watch Blu-rays (for that I have a beamer) was thus only important for me that conventional HD material from the public and private radio HD + TV looks good and because I had to be honest with the size of real doubt. Fortunately it was in the media market so cooperative that I could connect my own hard disk recorder for testing to check how my shots look like. The result is amazing. The Sony scaled this material so impressively high that you simply can only rejoice. I like to watch documentaries such as "Beautiful!" (WDR HD) or "outing" (NDR HD). In addition, with me running shows like "5 against Jauch" (RTL HD) or "It's getting slanted" (Sat1 HD), as well as soap operas such as "Home in happiness" (RTL2 HD) and "The Perfect Celebrity Dinner" (VOX HD ). This is all material that has been produced in true HD, and it's a feast for the eyes on this this 65-inch TV to watch. That alone is important to me and for that I can recommend the TV entirely.
For the presentation of 3D I can not comment because I do not even known it. There are polarized glasses, which will remain in their original packaging with me. For this, I refer to other reviews.
Apropos: In another review someone criticizes an allegedly bad workmanship. This I can not confirm. I have taken every centimeter under the microscope. The build quality is excellent. The fact that the LED lights at the bottom will supposedly hot does not matter because I have this simple off for me. How nice that can be always disabled traditionally via the menu at Sony.
The menu has been significantly revised and improved in recent years. Not only do you now intuitively finds everything there where it is suspected, it is also visually attractive and reacts fast to inputs. Of course, all these current additional functions are in the foreground as well as those interested in me zero. If I want to see what from the ZDF library or from YouTube I do that via the iPad and streame it to Apple TV, which is in my opinion much easier and faster to use.
The only drawback: The picture-in-picture or picture-by-picture functions are unfortunately very neglected treated. Since the TV has two tuners there would be opportunities here to use them properly meaningful. Unfortunately, one must here for example select a different input source to utilize this. If one now so the PIP as the main picture HDMI input selected (eg. As the Blu-ray player) and the TV picture has small in the corner, then you can not change the channel on the television screen. For this you must first switch back to this program. Sounds complicated, I know. Previously, there was television, who supports. Today rather not. Very sad, especially since here are actually given the conditions. But that's really complain at a high level.
I love this TV and recommend him without any restriction. If you want what they have really really great in your living room should be your first choice of KD65X8505. The value for money is top!
