Sony KDL-55EX640

 

When it comes to buying a TV, no matter how attractive the shiny flagship models may be, it usually makes the most sense to buy the midrange products. While you'd naturally assume that the more advanced models have better picture quality this isn't...

The relatively affordable Sony EX640 offers deep-enough black levels for the money and commendable color saturation. The design is attractive and the menu system is easy to use.

We detected a couple of uniformity issues, black areas can look blue under lights, and shadow detail isn't up there with the better TVs. The wireless dongle takes up a USB port. The SEN portion of the Smart TV interface is so slow that it's kind of a...

Sony's EX640 series is one of the better deals from the company, with decent picture quality and features for the price.

"Piece of junk"

 

TV screen goes off and will not come back on without unplugging it and restarting it. WiFi adapter will not work and Sony support has no answer to fix it. They can't even figure out how I can turn it in for service.

Nice picture and a good price

I love it when it works, but that is very rare. Sony support is worthless. DO NOT BUY THIS TV

Good tv overall. A bit of a pain to connect to surround sound. Only 2 audio out options: 1/8" audio to RCA or optical digital cable. I found it odd that there wasn't an RCA to RCA option. It also takes a minute to warm up after powering on. A bit like...
