Kezo saw the Telly Dan unboxing review of the Sony XK 85 50 inch last night on YouTube I like him sets them up turns of features etc loved the youview guide which is Sonys freeview play where you can go back a week etc ! However to me the picture wasn’t right the back light in the centre was like a torch he said it was a very good picture ! I’ve always wanted a Sony tv the picture always looked more crisper sharper on a Sony to me ? What are your thoughts on Sony TVs ? Many thanks ps Telly Dan is my hero after you
The torch effect you are seeing is called blooming and a common caveat with LCD TV’s regardless of whether it has a an edgelit or directlit backlight type. Some TV’s handle this better than others.
Basically what is happening light from brighter objects bleeds into darker area causing which looks like an halo effect.
If you go back to the previous page and watch the Hisense E7hq thats also backlit you will see it handles this much better.
