"it’s the
supreme gaming responsiveness on their 1080p HDTVs that generated the most interest among TV buyers who do their research"
"Input lag (high-speed camera) 6ms compared to lag-free CRT in [Game] mode
Leo Bodnar input lag tester 14ms in [Game] mode
Full 4:4:4 reproduction (PC) Yes, in [Game] and [Graphics] modes"
"The AUO-sourced VA-type panel implemented on the Sony KDL-42W705 delivered deep blacks by LED LCD standards"
"Backlight uniformity was good on our KDL42W705 review sample – we noticed no clouding or backlight bleed even before calibration. Due to the way a limited number of LED bulbs mounted along the edges are required to illuminate the entire LCD screen, some dirty screen effect (DSE) was inevitable (as is always the case on edge LED televisions), but this rarely troubled us in real-world viewing."
"The combination of deep blacks, neutral greyscale, relatively accurate colours and ruler-flat 2.4 gamma resulted in a superb high-definition picture that would give even flagship LED TVs a run for their money. The linear 2.4 gamma in particular injected plenty of “pop” and richness to every type of material displayed on screen, with a realistic rise out of black that did not muddy shadow detail. 1080p/24 content like Blu-ray discs were handled impeccably by the Sony W705, with nary a hint of telecine judder."
"Boasting the lowest input lag we’ve ever recorded, and also full 4:4:4 reproduction in [Game] mode, the Sony 42″ W7 is an ideal large-sized display for both console and PC gamers. Our Leo Bodnar input lag tester gave a reading of 13.5ms, eclipsing the previous best of 14.6ms set by another Sony HDTV, the KDL42W653."
"Furthermore, [Game] mode offers two presets, namely [Game-Standard] and [Game-Original], the latter of which can be configured to provide a less garish and more accurate colour palette for playing games on the Bravia KDL-42W705B."
"From our tests, it seems that the Sony Bravia W7 is the new W6. Featuring deep blacks, mostly accurate colours, 2.4 gamma, and above all record-breaking gaming responsiveness, the KDL-42W705 should prove to be a hit among movie and game enthusiasts who don’t need 3D. It even improves upon the popular, outgoing KDL-42W653 by offering two extra HDMI ports.
It’s early days yet (since this is the first and only television we’ve reviewed in 2014), but
we’re calling the Sony KDL42W705B the gaming TV to beat for the year ahead. If you’re looking for an ultra-responsive display to be paired up with your PS4 or Xbox One, that’s capable of delivering lush images yet is still affordable, then the 42-inch Sony W705 deserves a place on the top of your shopping list (and in your living room)."
That TV reviewed is the same one John Lewis are selling even though the model numbers don't match up.
Why don't they match up? Well John Lewis are ********* they have asked sony to produce the exact same tv for them but to change the model number so that they don't need to price match anyone.
Basically they have cottoned on to the fact smart people buy from them and price match cheap stores which they have to match as per their guarantee.
So from now on expect John Lewis to sell tv's you have never heard (by model number) of but look the exact same as the tv's in every other showroom.
So you can tell it's a new sony by the design (the stand mainly as that usually changes every year).
