Since most Sony’s televisions stand out for the good quality they present, obviously there are exceptions and on this same page we have analyzed models that have left much to be desired, however, they normally deliver good equipment. Today we will talk about the\u00a0Sony KD-55XG7005\u00a0, which came out in 2019, but continues to be a great option, especially for users looking for a good brand without spending too much.\u00a0Without further ado, we are going to know both the good and bad of this television.<\/p>\n

Exterior design of the Sony KD-55XG7005<\/h3>\n

<\/p>\n

Aesthetically we have a nice TV that has good details, which make it look a little more attractive<\/p>\n

Something interesting is that the televisions of this firm usually have pleasant designs regardless of the category.\u00a0We’re not saying it’s an amazing look either\u00a0, in fact, it will have negative details.\u00a0However, a good placement can give us a more attractive aesthetic.<\/p>\n

The first thing to take into account is its size, which seems ideal for medium and large rooms, so you must have the right place for its placement,\u00a0although our recommendation is to purchase the VESA support\u00a0, which stands out for its ease of installation. gives.<\/p>\n

Especially if we want to position it on the wall,\u00a0which we also recommend\u00a0, since the most striking aspect of the television is presented on the front, which implements slightly thin bezels, which stand out for generating a more elegant style for a more striking appearance.<\/p>\n

We also point out that its construction offers resistant materials, in fact, this detail is what normally raises its cost.\u00a0The\u00a0least attractive is in the back\u00a0, and this is because it has a more voluminous space, which takes away from the television.<\/p>\n

Connectivity<\/h3>\n

We have three HDMI 2.0\u00a0inputs\u00a0that allow us to connect external devices and send their signal to the television.\u00a0For the version we will have a correct data transmission.\u00a0We also have three\u00a0USBs\u00a0that allow us to record and play content.\u00a0Highlighting one in version 3.0.<\/p>\n

We are going to find other notable physical connections such as its Ethernet port\u00a0,\u00a0its\u00a0audio\u00a0output\u00a0,\u00a0its\u00a0headphone\u00a0jack\u00a0and\u00a0its\u00a0antenna\u00a0.\u00a0Similarly, we highlight that it is compatible with several first and second generation tuners.\u00a0For better channel scanning.<\/p>\n

Now let’s talk about the wireless issue that\u00a0Wi-Fi Direct\u00a0offers us , which allows us to use the internet at a distance without the need to use the network cable.\u00a0We also have\u00a0DLNA\u00a0to stream content from your smartphone.\u00a0Unfortunately this model does not include Bluetooth.<\/p>\n

Image quality and functions in general<\/h3>\n

Possibly the most remarkable thing about the\u00a0Sony KD-55XG7005\u00a0is its image, which has a correct optimization to display our content.\u00a0Here we find a 4K resolution that, due to its power, seeks to deliver better details,\u00a0which can show realistic images\u00a0.<\/p>\n

We find a\u00a0Direct LED\u00a0backlight that is possibly the weakest point, since it does not have Local Dimming, therefore, its lighting will not be enough when we are in very dark or bright environments, therefore,\u00a0the placement will be a very important factor\u00a0.<\/p>\n

It also has a\u00a0VA\u00a0panel that seeks to offer us better contrast and brightness, therefore,\u00a0whites\u00a0and\u00a0blacks reach greater purity\u00a0.\u00a0Likewise, we noticed that there are almost no light leaks.\u00a0However, there will be negative points, especially in the colors that feel weaker.<\/p>\n

In fact, we noticed that the transmission has less fidelity and precision.\u00a0The viewing angles of this panel are lower than what we have in the IPS.\u00a0Fortunately,\u00a0some enhancement technologies are included that will improve certain parameters\u00a0, which are essential for the image.<\/p>\n

These features dramatically improve color, contrast, and brightness for smoother, more visually appealing scenes.\u00a0We also have support for\u00a0HDR10\u00a0and\u00a0HLG\u00a0, technologies that usually work quite well, although for this the content must be compatible.<\/p>\n

Sound<\/h3>\n

We have the typical mid-range audio that presents us with two integrated speakers that provide 20W total.\u00a0Which will offer adequate sound for not so demanding content.\u00a0The only draw is that it includes enhancement technologies like\u00a0DTS Digital Surround\u00a0,\u00a0Dolby Digital Plus\u00a0and\u00a0Dolby Atmos\u00a0that try to generate a more immersive experience.\u00a0However, it is best to purchase an external sound bar.<\/p>\n

Analysis of the software \/ Smart TV and more notable features<\/h3>\n

<\/p>\n

We have a basic system that allows us to interact with some applications that are already pre-installed<\/p>\n

So far the\u00a0Sony KD-55XG7005\u00a0seems to be a good option due to the image and other features that we have seen, however, the system that it includes turns out to be quite basic, therefore, we cannot take much advantage of it,\u00a0since it has basic entertainment functions\u00a0.<\/p>\n

The only interesting thing is that it includes some pre-installed applications such as\u00a0Netflix\u00a0,\u00a0Prime Video\u00a0and\u00a0YouTube\u00a0to watch movies, series and documentaries.\u00a0However, we cannot install other options, which seems to us to be a negative, since we have a fairly simple TV.<\/p>\n

It also does not have compatibility with voice assistants, however, we can solve this by purchasing a TV Box.\u00a0The good thing is that there are now affordable options with good performance\u00a0.\u00a0This way we can take advantage of the characteristics that the television has.<\/p>\n
