Sony Bravia 55XE90

The Bravia KD55XE9005BU looks like it might be the outstanding Sony TV of 2017. Although it’s not top of Sony’s line-up this year, its direct backlighting system with full array local dimming gives it a capability that’s hard to beat. Matching that with competitive pricing, and a much improved Android operating system, this is our favourite Sony TV of the past three years, and it seems to offer better value than Samsung’s 2017 range.
