Television Sony KDL-49WE665

Modern FullHD TV for a small apartment

16 January 2018

This is a middle-class TV, but while Sony tends to be middle-class, Chinese brands in their lineups are considered business)) I deliberately did not chase after 4K screen models and tempered my appetite with regular FullHD because I don’t have the most I have good eyesight, but I don’t wear glasses as a matter of principle. As a result, from a distance of two meters and further on a forty-inch screen, 1920x1080 and 3840x2160 look exactly the same to me.

A modern FullHD TV without any problems in the “this is the technology of tomorrow” style. Come tomorrow, I’ll buy a 55-inch UltraHD, and for the forty-inch version, 1920x1080 is quite a good resolution. My current small-sized apartment does not allow me to use a larger diagonal, so it’s better to have a good smart device in your hand than... well, you get the idea)) This model has one of the most modern 8-bit VA-type matrices with Edge-LED LED backlighting. It shows decent maximum brightness, improved contrast (Local Dimming also helps here) and the highest possible viewing angles. As befits a modern TV, there is a Smart TV, but Sony got a little weird here (see below). DLNA is supported, and I organized connections “over the air,” that is, through the built-in WiFi module. The software player can play files from USB flash drives and hard drives, and supports a wide range of compression formats. The sound is not the most powerful, only 2x5W, but surprisingly high quality.

Why Sony uses the Opera TV system in its smart TVs is completely unclear. This is a dead-end branch of development; this system can only survive if the Chinese become interested in it and use it in their own brands. The built-in player does not understand HEVC encoding.
