New 50" Tv £650 Budget

[FloppyPoppy]

Hey guys so i am in the market for a new 50" Tv

The main use for the tv will be ps4 games and netflix

I am looking at the sony KDL-50W805C 50" 1080P 2015 Version.

The cost of this is £600. Is this the tv to go for? Or is my money better spent on a different tv?


Thanks

I've got that one, it's superb. Bit of backlight bleed on dark scenes but doesn't really bother me. Android TV is quite nice, much more useful than I expected it to be.

How much bleed is there ? ( I'm sure it's a lot less than my current TV but still something I'm not a fan of )

Thanks for reply

It's noticeable along the bottom edge a bit but I think it depends largely on your settings, I still haven't got mine set-up properly so it's probably worse than it can be. I did try some recommended 'professional' settings from another forum but it gave everything a green tinge and skin tones had a weird gradient about them.

Allright bud. Yea settings are different from panel to panel.

Thanks again will be ordering this for sure

Hey mate got the tv today and have been playing with settings, i find ( for my screen ) having light sensor turned on helps reduce the bleed a lot. It seems to give a different range of brightness also helping blacks to be really dark. Just thought i would share incase you wanted to try it.

Good idea, I actually turned all that off when trying out the 'professional' settings (which I then reset) but I didn't try turning that back on again so I may give it a go.

Only real thing I do dislike about this TV is the remote, it looks and feels a bit cheap compared to the one my previous Sony TV had, which is a bit of a shame. Still, did manage to get Amazon to send me the touchpad one for free, although it's a bit of a gimmick and definitely not worth the £50 RRP!

How did t manage to get them to send the touchpad one if you don't mind me asking might see if I can get that too ( your right I would not pay £50 for it )
