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.
