In case you’ve yet to experience it, YouView is a system that lets you rewind your programming guide. This is now no longer an issue, because Sony has successfully integrated YouView into the system. The problem had always been a lack of apps. This is because Sony uses Android TV, which so far has not been a patch on LG’s WebOS or even Samsung’s Tizen system.

The whites could be a little purer, but now we’re just nitpicking.

Skin tones are rarely this convincing, especially in the awkward areas such as cheekbones and eye sockets. So subtle and natural is the shading that images burst with life. This is one of Sony’s consistent strengths, but what you get here is highly accomplished. Making the most of this dynamism is the colour palette.
Local dimming is another strong point: the Sony easily juggles light and dark, with an impressive amount of detail at both extremes. We’re not quite talking OLED levels of tenebrosity, but suddenly we find ourselves not missing the old plasmas so much. Bright scenes have no problem reaching retina-searing levels of luminosity, while shadowy scenes have perhaps the most impressive black depth we’ve ever seen on an LCD TV. We’re dealing with fierce levels of dynamism. We suspect this is down to the model’s direct LED lighting as opposed to the edge-lit system used on, for example, the ultra-slim Sony KD-65X9005C.
Out of the box, it is apparent that this thing excels in contrast – and area where many other 2015 Sony TVs faltered. The picture is every bit what you’d expect from a flagship television. Let’s not mess about here: the Sony KD-75X9405C is stunning.
