The Direct LED backlighting is an advanced technology in flat-screen TVs and monitors. Unlike traditional methods, it places a matrix of LEDs evenly across the entire back of the screen. This allows for precise brightness control for improved contrast ratio and deeper blacks. Individual control creates local dimming zones, resulting in more vibrant images with greater depth. Additionally, the technology is more energy-efficient, as LEDs only produce light where it is needed. In summary, Direct LED backlighting offers impressive picture quality and energy efficiency.

Overall ratingGood77/100
- Bright and high-contrast image with natural colours
- Very good equipment
- Sound quality only average
- Operation sometimes a little tricky
The X85L stands out from cheaper Sony televisions with its 120 hertz screen, while the next best model is much more expensive with only minor advantages. The well-balanced picture with good contrast is one of the best in this price range. The equipment is largely complete and you quickly get used to the controls.
