Editorial note

The Sony Bravia KD-50X81J stands out for its exceptional picture quality thanks to its 4K Ultra HD resolution (3840 x 2160 pixels), offering sharp details and vibrant colors for an immersive viewing experience. Its direct LED backlighting ensures optimal brightness and rich contrasts, even in varying lighting conditions. Additionally, connectivity is versatile with four HDMI ports and wireless connection options via Wi-Fi and Bluetooth, making it easy to integrate with various multimedia devices. However, this model has some drawbacks. The lack of Smart TV features limits access to streaming apps and the Internet, which may disappoint users looking for online content. Furthermore, its energy efficiency class rated G indicates relatively high energy consumption, which could lead to higher electricity bills. The LCD display technology, while acceptable, does not compete with OLED models in terms of contrast and black depth. Finally, weighing 12.3 kg, the television can be difficult to handle alone, potentially requiring the assistance of another person for installation. In summary, the Sony Bravia KD-50X81J offers a quality visual experience and a sleek design, but buyers should be aware of its limitations in smart connectivity and energy efficiency.
