The Sony KD55X85L is a 55" (139 cm) 4K UHD LCD TV with Direct-LED (Full Array) backlighting, HDR support and the Android-based Google TV platform. It combines Sony's X1 picture processing and X-Motion Clarity technologies to deliver bright, high-contrast images with reduced motion blur, while X-Balanced Speaker units and Dolby Atmos provide clear, immersive sound. The set includes a Seamless Edge Bezel and a two-way slim wedge stand designed to fit both wide and narrow furniture surfaces.

Advantages

Full Array LED backlighting with zone control improves contrast and brightness across the screen, enhancing detail and texture in sports and movies. The X1 Processor analyses content in real time to optimise colour, contrast and clarity. Dolby Vision and Dolby Atmos support add cinema-grade picture and surround sound, and X-Balanced Speaker units maintain audio quality without compromising the TV's slim design. Gaming features include 4K/120fps support, Auto Low Latency Mode (HDMI 2.1), Auto HDR Tone Mapping, VRR support and a dedicated Gaming Menu with Crosshair and Custom Screen options.
