    Finally someone who really shows the TV and its performance and talks about both it up- and downsides.
    Really good review and nice work!

    Really good review +THE K.O GAMES SHOW!, the upload is most appreciated man! I've just got myself a flat of my own and I've been looking at proper TVs to replace my little 22". I've yet to hear or see anything that would stop me buying this Sony. I don't know what camera you used, but the picture really looks top quality even on TH-cam. I get what you say about the interface and remote, but I can live with that. You're spot-on about the deep blacks & contrast on a TV, it makes a lot of difference.
    You're also dead right about the buying/testing experience when going to a shop; the best home cinema/hifi audio dealers will take their time to please YOU. The best will sit you down, offer you tea or coffee, then let you totally call the shots as to what stuff you want to test, and what movies/music/games you want to play through it. You're paying a lot of your hard-earned money, you should be given the conditions to make the best decision for you.

    Great video, sounds/looks like a sensational TV. But is there now, in 2015, a newer (maybe better) version of this model that i should buy? Or should I just buy this one?

    Thanks a lot for posting this video man. I found it very useful. The 2015 lineup is going to be released on April and I will look for the 2015 version of this model (W800C). I will definitely buy one.

    @Monster597 10 ปีที่แล้ว

    Good point about 50" image quality being better as compared to a 42". I am thinking of getting the same 50" model also.

  • @nightlore000
    @nightlore000 10 ปีที่แล้ว +1

    Thanks for the in depth review, no other review show picture quality which is the main point.... I was a TV engineer 30 years and most TVs are crap at the moment, worst of all the sales people know f all.... 😎

    • @Lekter
      @Lekter 10 ปีที่แล้ว

      I agree, it's hard to find a review that talks about picture quality, and actually shows video of the this TV's picture quality.

  • @leeJCBjones
    @leeJCBjones 10 ปีที่แล้ว

    Hey mate great review I've been looking at this TV to buy and your review as helped a lot they have the TV in 55 inch now I was gonna pick up the 55 have you any idea if the quality is the same in the 55 cos as you sead the specs change slightly I know the 55 is 800 htz

    • @KOKingGaming
      @KOKingGaming  10 ปีที่แล้ว

      Yes mate I think the 55 inch and 50 are the top ones. But remember it's your right as a customer to try these tvs out. Go with your console or something and tell them you want to see the performance of the TV.
      But Yeh 55 and 50 are the top ones. 42 wasn't great

    • @leeJCBjones
      @leeJCBjones 10 ปีที่แล้ว

      thanks you mate think ill take my ps4 with me .. once i get the tv could you advice ne on which settings would be better for gaming etc

    • @KOKingGaming
      @KOKingGaming  10 ปีที่แล้ว

      leeJCBjones
      yeah u dont need to change the settings that much to be honest. when gaming put the scene onto game mode, in advanced settings turn off black tone and dynamic contrast. from there u dont really need to change much. I keep the edge and detail enhancer on medium and thats about it!!!

  • @shinzomoon
    @shinzomoon 10 ปีที่แล้ว

    Good review mate helpful and it looks real smooth even through youtube, I'm considering it but was a little concerned about the odd faulty unit but I suppose that risk is there with any product you buy.

  • @MadPropzBaller

  • @lucamanca193
    @lucamanca193 10 ปีที่แล้ว

    Good review thanks!!
    Do you know if the model KDL55W828 is the same as this one?(i mean same picture quality, same low input lag etc...)

    • @KOKingGaming
      @KOKingGaming  10 ปีที่แล้ว

      I have tried to look it up and it seems as if the w828 is a european model or outside of the UK model as I have not seen it on sale in any UK stores. It looks very much the same as the w829 but I am still researching the TV. I will let you know as soon as i find out. But it looks exactly the same as my TV.

    • @KOKingGaming
      @KOKingGaming  10 ปีที่แล้ว

      Do u mean the KDL55W829????

    • @lucamanca193
      @lucamanca193 10 ปีที่แล้ว

      Thank you!!In italy sony sells 55w829 and 55w828. Assuming that could be just a slight difference in the color of the tv, i am wondering if the bigger size of 55w829 could affect the quality that you talked about in your review. Thanks again

    • @KOKingGaming
      @KOKingGaming  10 ปีที่แล้ว

      Luca Manca the 55 and 50 are there better higher end versions of the TV so you wont be losing anything getting the 55!

    Hi, can you tell me all the picture settings you are using

    • @KOKingGaming
      @KOKingGaming  10 ปีที่แล้ว

      yeh sure for what u are seeing there on screen i am on animation mode backlight 8 contrast 85 brightness 49 everything else pretty much is standard, adv contrast off black level low and thats all the changes i made.
      now for gaming, with ps3 id use gaming standard and adjust to ur own personal preference same with wii u.
      BUT for PS4! i have played with the settings for a long while and found that the best visuals for PS4 on this TV is gaming original and at first it seems dimmer and less more grabbing than the other picture modes but once u play for a good hour or so u will notice a big difference compared to the other modes.

  • @mrki412
    @mrki412 10 ปีที่แล้ว

    Looks good, now I only need to decide between this or Samsung UEH6670, or Panasonic TX-AS640E? Any thoughts? Thanks

    • @KOKingGaming
      @KOKingGaming  10 ปีที่แล้ว

      Yeah those are good but I actually went into TV stores with my PS4 to see how good each could handle blu ray movies and gaming and you can do that too, but what youd find is, is that generally Samsung TV's are the best if you watch TV and Movies, for gaming its not good. And that's how you should make your choice, if you are a gamer and you watch Tv and Movies then I personally think the W829 is the best choice for the price. If you dont really play games or into games and just watch TV and Movies etc then definitely a Samsung.

    • @mrki412
      @mrki412 10 ปีที่แล้ว

      ok, so I will choose Panasonic :-) Just kidding but what anoys me that every Samsung is with cheap plastic, making squeks and gaps.

    • @cloudskipa
      @cloudskipa 10 ปีที่แล้ว

      I'm not a Sony fan I'll make that quite clear and I would personally prefer to buy Samsung since they've always done me so well and are well built, but this Sony is a stunning set for gaming. The input lag beats all previous records for LCD tech, plus the CMR and motion flow is very high quality.

    • @ExitiumD
      @ExitiumD 10 ปีที่แล้ว

      Do u put it to gaming mode?

    • @cloudskipa
      @cloudskipa 10 ปีที่แล้ว

      ***** Yes, Gaming mode and it's an incredible pictre if you use Reality creation: Resolution set to max and Detail enhancer set to High, keep sharpness around 25, Gamma -2 and the image is fantastic. Best TV I've owned by far, very low latency in gaming mode, feels like CRT. Just a shame the impulse setting in gaming mode is a bit too dark for general use but for some games it's ok and in a dark room.

  • @EncoreStream
    @EncoreStream 10 ปีที่แล้ว

    This TV has to be one of the best out there. I purchased one the other day and it's fantastic, the only problem for me is the start up time can take quite a while. I also think the sound could be better, i can't seem to wire my Logitech Z623 2.1 speaker system up to it :(

    • @KOKingGaming
      @KOKingGaming  10 ปีที่แล้ว

      yeh it is and i was fortunate enough for the TV to come with a free soundbar! it is really great for gaming the input lag is minimal!

    • @leeJCBjones
      @leeJCBjones 10 ปีที่แล้ว

      ***** Just got the tv was wondering if u could advise me on any changes i could make to the settlings to improve game mode ? Awsome tv glad i went with the 50 think 55 might been tad to big

    • @KOKingGaming
      @KOKingGaming  10 ปีที่แล้ว

      leeJCBjones Yes make sure you have it on game mode, to get minimal input lag. Take off black tone and dynamic contrast before you start changing the brightness and contrast but to be honest once you change it to game mode and take black tone and dynamic contrast off you wont need to change much.
      Also here is a great test you can do.
      Goto scene select and choose game mode, play a game for about 10 minutes. After 10 minutes change it to animation mode and you will see a major difference. The smoothness and crispness of the game in animation mode will increase tenfold. However you will see the terrible input lag this mode has, and most TV's are as smooth as crisp but havent got an option of a great game mode to reduce the input lag. But this TV does.

    Thanks.

    • @KOKingGaming

      Select scene select then choose animation you won't need to change any motion settings for smoothness

      ACID TITAN for games i put it on game mode and i use game original but change the colour temp to neutral take the brightness down a little bit edge and detail enhancer off smooth gradiation on low and i am absolutely fine with those settings its great stuff

    • @turbochimps
      @turbochimps 9 ปีที่แล้ว

      Billy Rogers can you assure me this tv is good for gaming? I am also getting it next week from Thurgo... but your comment was 4 months ago, so I'm assuming you have got it? So any good for gaming??

    • @turbochimps
      @turbochimps 9 ปีที่แล้ว

      Billy Rogers Thanks for sharing your experience. I was torn between the Samsung UE48H6400 and this one. Going through reviews, these are the best 2 TV's in the market for the size and price.
      I'm surprised about the input lag you mention on Sony. Looking through forums and test results on reviews, the Sony should be around 20ms, whilst Samsung is 33ms. Maybe settings needs to be adjusted to achieve this?
      The only issue I see mentioned with the Samsung is lip syncing when using Freeview. You can adjust the audio delay to fix this, but it's slightly different for each channel, so you would have to adjust each time. Apart from that, everyone says the Samsung is amazing.
      If you're saying that Sony's input lag is a problem, and Samsung cannot lip sync, then I still don't know which to get :-s

  • @KingDav33
    @KingDav33 10 ปีที่แล้ว

    Thanks for the video but I would not have kept that TV, it has a massive clouding spot right above the Sony logo.
    ... I own a 55 829B and mine only has very mild clouding on the left which is only barely visible in a dark room.

    • @KOKingGaming

    Hello, What is the difference between this tv and the Sony : KDL-50 W815

    • @KOKingGaming
      @KOKingGaming  10 ปีที่แล้ว

      hey. from my research it seems as if the only difference is the HZ. where w815 is 600 hz and the w829 is 800 hz

    • @jazz63
      @jazz63 10 ปีที่แล้ว

      the W815 has a silver frame instead of black that's the only difference

    • @StephenPirrie
      @StephenPirrie 10 ปีที่แล้ว

      I think it's just the colour - silver or black

    hi getting one in few days , just sold kd55x8509c 4k which you can't really watch night movies due to horrible light bleed , all kinda gray milky , star wars was just not watchable to me . Read a lot of review and this one or w905a are two choices only now for me. of course oled maybe but just not in my price range.

    Great Video!
    Does anyone notice, noise/grain while playing games. (Like Film Grain) .
    I never know if its in the game, or if it's my PS4, or TV settings.
    I've noticed it on "THE LAST OF US" & "P.T."

    • @KOKingGaming
      @KOKingGaming  10 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      Yes, I know exactly what you are talking about and I would like to make a video on this but my camera unfortunately has ceased to work lol.
      Press options on your TV Remote > Picture - Go down to Reality Creation Pro and turn it off.
      Then, whilst in the Picture Menu > Advanced Settings - Turn off edge and detail enhancer
      That will definately take the noise/grain away, HOWEVER the image on your screen may seem blurry and not "sharp" but that is because you have been used to looking at images which have been artificially enhanced there is actually no improvement of picture quality in reference to gaming (Movies and Tv is slightly different).
      Let me know bro!

    I bought a Sony Bravia 40 inch, back in Black Friday 2011 and has been great, no problems...the secret here is...DON'T SPEND GREAT AMOUNT OF MONEY FOR A NEW TV....today I was reading about 400 complains about Westinghouse TVs...88 complains about Insignia TVs and got in shock when I read more than a THOUSAND of complains about SONY TVs...yes...1,000 complains about Sony TVs????wow...this is a surprise...THE SECRET HERE IS...BUY A CHEAP TV, AND IF IT GOES BAD AFTER WARRANTY EXPIRED...JUST THROW IT AWAY AND BUY ANOTHER BRAND...my great Sony Bravia, bought it in 2011 for 449.00 US Dollars at Target and recently, last month, bought an Insignia 42 inch, 1080P, HDTV from Best Buys for ONLY 249.00 dollars plus tax...WHY SUFFER??? I OWN EIGHT TVs PRESENTLY , three of them to work for my 10 security cameras around my house...AND WONT SUFFER IF ONE OF THEM GOES BAD...from now on, i will pay no more than 250 dollars for a new TV and if it goes bad after warranty expire...I WONT SUFFER WITH IT...JUST THROW IT AWAY AND BUY ANOTHER BRAND...SIMPLE AS THAT...

    • @cloudskipa
      @cloudskipa 10 ปีที่แล้ว

      Or you can just shop around and get a new TV with a free 5 years warranty instead?
      But I agree with the sentiment, an extended warranty is VERY important, if you don't want the hassle of that then buyign cheaper is the answer.

    • @joemolinaro5316
      @joemolinaro5316 10 ปีที่แล้ว

      ***** I just bought a security system for my house, two recorders with 4 cameras each, and bought two TVs, Insignia 1080, 42 inches each for 500 dollars both, 250, each, so, in my mind, 250 dollars for a new 42 inches 1080, TV is cheap...isn't??...how can somebody complain about that...i am not rich, but i make 500 dollars a day, so, what is the complain of two new TVs for one day salary???, but sure, i guess those, that make minimum wage will bash me, but that is not my fault...

    NO 4K tv made before the year 2015 has a 10 bit video chip and i believe almost all of them do not have hdcp 2.2
    in short ? without that your tv will not be compatiable with the future functionality of 4k tv.
    If you buy a 4k tv anytime before those 2 specs are listed upfront in clear view....you're asking for trouble and you're paying 4k prices for what will be 2k quality

    • @KOKingGaming

      renduke This is not a 4k TV by the way in case you think it is :S

    • @cloudskipa
      @cloudskipa 10 ปีที่แล้ว

      It's a 1080p panel. You'd have to be an idiot to buy a 4k set if you're a gamer anyway, just when home consoles have caught up to TV tech then run out and go and buy a TV a generation ahead with mismatched native res leaving you to upscale all of your content once again with high input lag.
      People are stupid and don't know what's good, that is why the superior Plasma technology was faded out in 2014. 4k is just another way for struggling electronic manufactufers to rinse these gullible fools for as much cash as they can.
