Sony KD-75XD9405 evaluation may be currently the strongest TV

Sony TV has always been synonymous with high-quality TV. Although Sony has lost its dominance in the TV industry, Sony still plays a very important role in high-end TV. Sony KD-75XD9405 is a very outstanding 4H HDR TV. Excellent quality, rich features, the only regret is the high price.


4K television has gradually become the first choice for people, and HDR technology is starting to become the next trend. Sony introduced the flagship product KD-75XD9405 this year, a 75-inch native 4K resolution TV that supports HDR, Android systems, and uses a new type of direct-input LED lighting system, rather than the previous edge LED lighting. So, is it better picture quality? Take a look at the evaluation experience together.

Design and function

The KD-75XD9405 is a 75-inch TV, so it's natural. However, the ultra-narrow frame design, ultra-thin body, coupled with metal sheet brackets, the overall feeling is still very stylish. Due to the narrower border, the KD-75XD9405 does not have magnetic fluid speakers integrated with its predecessor's flagship product. Sony believes that users who can accept the KD-75XD9405 will not be afraid to purchase stand-alone speakers. Obviously, this seems to completely negate the selling point of the previous product, but the more concise design is undoubtedly the current trend of flat-panel TVs.

The KD-75XD9405 has four built-in HDMI interfaces that are compatible with the HDCP 2.2 anti-piracy protocol and also provide 4K and HDR input standards. In addition, it is also an Android TV, built-in WIFI and Lan connection, wireless input content through DLAN, and download many Android applications. Of course, the interface of Android TV is still slightly messy, which is part of Google's need for improvement.


The KD-75XD9405 supports the HDR 10 standard, but it is not compatible with Dolby Vision. For now, it is difficult to say which standard will eventually win. However, since the Ultra HD Alliance supports HDR 10, the source of the chip is not expected to be a problem. In addition, Sony also incorporates the representative Triluminos technology in the KD-75XD9405 to deliver a wider color gamut and work with HDR to achieve even better picture quality.

Quality performance

Trusted Reviews editor said that Sony KD-75XD9405 most of the time the picture quality is satisfactory. First of all, 4K ultra high definition Blu-ray discs are perfect. The gorgeous colors, subtle shadow details and three-dimensionality make the picture jump above the screen. In addition, direct-lit LED lighting has better results than previous edge LEDs, especially in black tones.

Playing Amazon's HDR streaming video, Sony KD-75XD9405 is fully shows the charm of HDR TV, let's take a look at three real cases. First of all, it is the American drama "The Man in the High Castle". Because the film itself is a surreal style, the Sony KD-75XD9405 and HDR technology will surpass the light and color of surreal performance, which is very consistent with the tone of the film; Playing a break scene in DiCaprio’s “The Revenant”, HDR's high brightness brings more shocking light effects, increasing the tension of the scene; and in the “Lago movie” ( In The Lego Movie, the high contrast of HDR undoubtedly makes the colorful Lego toys more vivid and three-dimensional, and the overall picture is full of vitality.

Trusted Reviews said that the Sony KD-75XD9405's approach to handling HDR is more integrated and may not be as clear and dazzling in some respects as Samsung's similar models, but it can provide a very subtle color and detail, which is a very good feature. However, HDR is not a must-have for all screens. For example, for some extreme brightness scenes such as torches, the effects of peripheral flares may be somewhat false.

In addition, the KD-75XD9405 cannot automatically recognize HDR content from external output, that is, if it is not playing HDR streaming video, an enhanced mode that requires manual switching is required. At the same time, it is better to turn on the Motionflow function, which can effectively reduce the phenomenon of ghosting on the screen.

3D, sound quality and other

Sony KD-75XD9405 has a nice 3D effect, but despite the active 3D function, the picture details are not as sharp as the 4K picture, and some crosstalk ghosting problems also occur. Of course, the current consumer is not concerned about 3D capabilities, Sony KD-75XD9405 has been able to meet the demand.

Sound quality, Sony KD-75XD9405 built-in four 7.5w speakers, but obviously, this configuration compared to the previous magnetic fluid speaker looks a little amateur, only to achieve a more basic sound. If you want to get better results, you need at least one mainstream bar sound.

In other respects, Sony KD-75XD9405 has a good input delay performance, you can connect PS4 and other game consoles for smooth game. However, its remote control is not particularly easy to use, buttons are arranged in a cramped manner, and mistakes are easily made.

summary

Sony KD-75XD9405 is a very outstanding 4K TV, large screen, new type of backlight system plus HDR function, showing a very good overall picture quality performance, is one of the most noteworthy Ultra HDTVs this year. In terms of prices, 5,000 pounds (approximately RMB 47,400) is not a small number, and it is difficult for ordinary families to bear.
