Editorial note

The Sony KD-55XH8196 is a television that stands out for its 4K Ultra HD resolution, offering exceptional picture quality that promises an immersive viewing experience. The Motionflow XR 400 Hz technology also enhances the fluidity of images, making the viewing of movies and games more enjoyable. Its modern design with a narrow frame and a bezel-less construction allows for elegant integration into various interiors. However, this model has some limitations. The lack of Smart TV features restricts access to streaming apps and the Internet, which may disappoint those looking for a complete multimedia experience. Additionally, the energy efficiency class G could lead to higher electricity costs, which is a point to consider for users concerned about their environmental impact. In terms of audio, the television is equipped with only two speakers with a power of 20 W, which may not be sufficient for an immersive sound experience, especially in larger rooms. Finally, although the Game mode is an asset for gamers, the lack of HDR support could limit visual capabilities compared to other contemporary models. Overall, the Sony KD-55XH8196 offers good picture quality and an attractive design, but its limitations in smart features and audio performance should be taken into account before purchase.
