Sony XD94xx (2016) Series

Outstanding picture quality ; Slim design ; Huge, immersive screen ; HDR works well

Minor clouding with HDR ; Android TV is clunky ; Horrible remote control ; No other screen sizes

With its vast, cinematic screen and ability to deliver stunning picture quality whatever the source, the 75XD9405 is a contender for the best TV of 2016. If you can afford to shell out £5,000 on a TV, make it this one.

Generous smart offering ; HDR compatibility ; Sharp and stable 4K picture ; Capable upscaler ; Smooth motion handling ; Nice design

Nothing we can think of

Going all-out with compatibility and picture performance, Sony’s flagship is the one to beat

The 75XD9405’s direct LED lighting system delivers more convincing high dynamic-range pictures than any edge LED TV to date; the Triluminos system handles the new wide colour spectrum content beautifully; vast 75-inch screen delivers maximum impact...

The 75XD9405 won't be for everyone because it's simply too big and too expensive for any sort of mass market consumption. Which makes us wish, actually, that Sony did 65-inch and 55-inch XD9405 models too, rather than sticking to a single king-sized...

Impressive black levels ; Excellent local dimming ; Superb image accuracy ; Great video processing ; Fantastic sound quality

Clipping with HDR 10 material ; Smart platform still needs work ; 3D suffers from crosstalk

If you're looking for a really large screen TV then the Sony KD-75XD9405 should definitely be on your list and at £4,999 it might well be the only one on your list. The XD94 isn't only very reasonably priced, it's rather pretty and despite the 75-inch...

Picture quality is outstanding

User manual is very basic and doesn't seem to cover every topic.

Fantastic picture and options

Problem setting up Freesat

android operating system 4k picture quality

very close to wall if you use the wall bracket that comes with tv

Static images are good

DSE Terrible, some banding more at angles. Blooming horrible, joke at small angles.

Superb picture from terrestrial TV, satellite and when streaming from the internet - Netflix and Amazon Prime. It upscales very well from these sources and also from a Bluray player and a Foxsat. I don't use the TV's speakers; instead I use a new Sony...

Not yet been able to connect to computers on my home network, but I believe that this ought to be possible if I persevere. Airplay Mirroring to the TV from Apple devices seems to be impossible.
