Sony 55X9000C flagship TV evaluation: the ultimate beauty is not limited to thin

In recent years, ultra-thin TV industry has gradually become a trend, many manufacturers have claimed that their products are the thinnest in the industry, while other manufacturers are also satisfied with the thickness of 7,8mm body, Sony once again with a product to show their own in the field of television The technical leadership of the company released the X9000C series LCD TV with a thickness of only 4.9 mm, and won the German "Red Dot" design award in one fell swoop. Its minimalist and ultra-thin design left a deep impression. 4.9 mm! It can be said that compared to iphone6's 6.9 mm even more thin, and even more slim than the OLED TV known by many manufacturers to ultra-thin, enough to subvert the user's perception of traditional television.


Today, this attention-seeking ultra-thin new TV came to our evaluation room, which is the 55-inch model of the X9000C series. The complete model is the KD-55X9000C. We can easily see from the naming of the model, this TV's positioning belongs to the high-end flagship series, equipped with Sony's new 4K image processing chip X1 and other all high-end technologies represented by Terricolor charm, at the same time, it has a resolution of 3840×2160 ultra-high definition. Rate, the application of polarized 3D technology, and equipped with Android 5.0 operating system, regardless of content search, video recommendation, or application selection, games, clear and intuitive interface allows you to quickly find your own needs, greatly enhanced ease of use.

Let's first look at this TV's parameter information:



Why can it be so thin?


Speaking of thinness, it can be said that Sony has been leading the development of the TV industry. From the W300A series launched in 2007 to today's X9000C, the thickness record of the fuselage is constantly being refreshed. The model of each era can be said to be the thinnest in the same period. One of the TVs.

Sony's ancient ultra-thin LCD TV review

The latest Sony X9000C was able to achieve the ultimate ultra-thin, first made a new improvement in the optical module, using a new glass light guide to ensure the optical diffusion, while achieving a certain degree of hardness. By using this material, the thickness can be reduced by more than 75%. Only a thickness of 1-2 mm is sufficient to maintain rigidity and diffusibility of brightness. With such a module structure, the structure of a conventional side-mounted (sound) LED backlight is first defeated structurally.


Compared with ordinary TV LCD package structure

However, with such a structure, light cannot actually reach the ultimate slimness of 4.9 mm. Because we are only talking about optical modules, when the optical module and the LCD panel are combined, there is still a lot of technology to completely package the entire TV. For example, a typical acrylic light guide plate is required, the back frame support is required, and the front surface also needs a frame support, and it is also necessary to use a frame for reinforcement and beautification. In this way, the overall LCD TV thickness is limited. However, the sony TV adopts a special light guide plate technology, and only needs to be fixed on a special aluminum alloy frame to ensure the firmness, because it is inherently very rigid. In the rear part of the X9000C, I couldn't see the fixed frame at all. This is because it uses a unique coating process, coupled with sophisticated manufacturing techniques, and finally achieved an ultimate thickness of 4.9 mm.

What is the meaning of ultra-thin?


The first point is that the ultra-thin visual will bring more sense of beauty, and can be subtly integrated into the style of furniture decoration. With such a television, it will allow you to have a great space for use during the renovation. It will no longer be just a television, but also a work of art in your home. In addition, it hangs on the wall only 40 mm from the wall, allowing the TV to hang on the wall in a floating form. Sony's traditional TV is at least 70 mm behind the wall.


Of course, there is one thing that can make friends and relatives who come to your home to have a bright future. A heartfelt admiration will also highlight your own taste. To put it bluntly, there will be more face to face.

Does the body have such a thin picture quality and sound quality?


Through the latter tests, we can conclude that this TV does not need to worry about the picture quality and sound quality. In addition to not carrying the best optical control technology, the X9000C series is equipped with Sony's new 4K image processing chip X1 and Terrex. Charm Color represents all the high-end technologies. The actual experience, the real-color picture, the color range is also significantly better than ordinary TV, coupled with 4K ultra-high resolution, to give users a more clear experience.

Regarding sound quality, the X9000C is currently equipped with almost all of Sony's audio technologies, such as ClearAudio+, and he has been appearing on Sony's high-end flagship Walkman products. The X9000C also features a uniquely designed ultra-thin speaker box, which is divided into two parts: first, a subwoofer, ensuring that the ultra-thin TV also has very good bass performance. Simultaneously separate the tweeters to ensure sound separation. Finally, combining three audio optimization techniques, the input and output of the audio source are very well guaranteed.


Next is the appearance of this TV:







How is the picture quality? Sony 55X9000C measured analysis

As a high-end 4K flagship product, the Sony 55X9000C's actual performance is also more concerned about the user. After the professional instrument BM-7 test, the Sony 55X9000C TV's specific image quality performance parameters are: When the LED backlight is adjusted to the maximum, the maximum brightness of 477.2cd/m2 and 85.4% of the color gamut, especially the brightness performance is very good, reflecting The strength of this high-end LCD.


Actual color range test results

85.4% of the measured NTSC color gamut is obviously higher than the color gamut range of about 74% of the ordinary TV. Therefore, the Sony X9000C in the color gamut diagram can be clearly wider in the green and red regions.


Super clear test photo real shot

In terms of dynamic resolution, this TV has achieved a high level of dynamic clarity for LCD TVs. It can be seen from real shots that the edge of the train's windows and the people in the window are clearly clear at the same time. It can be seen that the dynamic picture clarity is excellent.


Dynamic clear map test

As a 4K Ultra HD TV, the performance of the details of the screen is also worthy of attention. A group of real shot high-definition pictures is released below, and the screen shot is inevitably slightly distorted. However, the contrast of different colors can still be seen through the contrast of different pictures. (The following pictures can be click to enlarge)





Ultra-high definition pictures

Sony 55X9000C also provides a variety of parameter details of the adjustment options, the user can be set according to their own circumstances, such as the theater mode, the screen brightness will be significantly darker, but the depth of field and the character lines will be more prominent. In the sound menu, in addition to the general sound effect adjustment options, it is worth mentioning that also humane provides wall or desktop placement options to ensure that different users can also get the best sound effects. (General default and best picture quality)


Image mode adjustment options

Summary: The overall picture quality is excellent, the color reproduction is natural, the color transition is smooth, and the dynamic picture effect is better. Another point needs to be pointed out that the Sony 55X9000C uses a 55-inch IPS panel + side-entry LED backlight scheme, so the actual experience in the case of dynamic backlight does not turn on, there is still a slight light leakage in the lower border position, but not Will affect daily use.

How does the Android 5.0 system perform?


As the first Sony smart TV equipped with Android, the performance of the 55X9000C is also our concern. The first is the boot process, the first boot time reached 35 seconds, compared to other smart TVs on the market is still a bit slow, but the second boot, but it can do 1 second rapid boot, this point is still more humane of. In addition, I also want to remind that Sony 55X9000C actual power consumption of 143 watts, standby power consumption has reached 25 watts, so the actual use of the recommended night before going to bed long press the power button to enter the shutdown mode, you can save A lot of electricity.

Then entered the boot wizard interface, for the first time users of this TV is still very necessary, you can familiarize yourself with the various new smart remote control operations, animation effects are also more humane and easy to understand. After setting up the network, limited television, time and date, we can finally enter the topic.

In terms of operation, the Sony 55X9000C is equipped with two remote controllers. One is a traditional multi-key remote controller, and we don't explain it too much. The other is a simplified version of the smart remote control, which is also equipped with a touchpad tutorial for the smart remote control. For example, sliding up and down in any interface will have a corresponding shortcut menu popping up, which is very practical.

Summary: Although it is using Android 5.0 system, but the overall interface is still continuation of Sony's previous product design, it can be said that older users of Sony TV easier to get started, icons and functional position arrangement is also more beautiful and reasonable, fast and convenient operation, slightly less The actual experience is that there are occasional stalls in the cursor movement.

Has 4K/3D area online video test


Next connected to the network, we look at the Sony 55X9000C online video playback. First of all, the video interface is introduced. The video partner of the Sony 55X9000C TV is China TV, which contains a large amount of genuine video resources.

All videos can be fast forwarded, played back, or paused. The operation is also convenient. It can be realized with the built-in remote control.

Another point of surprise is that the Sony 55X9000C also has a built-in 4K area. The number of videos that will be counted on the same day is 72, but they are all charged resources.


4K super clear movie on demand

In addition to movies, there are television screens, variety shows, documentaries, education, sports, and other different types of resources to choose from to meet the family's viewing needs. For example, in the variety column, it is the most popular program at present.

Summary: Cooperated with one of the seven camera operators Huadian, to ensure that the Sony 55X9000C video resources are genuine and passed the audit, there will be no risk of being aired, the other 4K, 3D area can also meet the needs of users. However, as a whole, the number of sources is still relatively small, and we also hope that Sony can cooperate with more video source vendors to bring more content.

Smart Apps and Local Play

The Sony 55X9000C TV has also joined the smart platform in response to the current market trend, and has invested in the Android camp. After all, there are a wealth of applications to choose from. At the same time, both the picture quality and playability are not a little bit more.

The Sony 55X9000C uses polarized 3D technology, which has the advantage of no flicker, lighter and more comfortable glasses than shutter 3D, and the price of the glasses is even lower. In terms of 3D effects, both the depth of field and details are excellent.


3D function menu

Currently, USB playback has become the standard configuration of televisions, and both domestic and foreign brands are equipped with this feature. You can directly copy your favorite photos, videos, and music directly to your USB flash drive for direct playback. Sony 55X9000C USB player can identify U disk and mobile hard disk, playing pictures, music, no problem, but in the video file support, the actual measurement of the current mainstream MKV, AVI, RMVB, MP4, MOV and other video formats can be played smoothly, 4K ultra-high definition files have no stalling when decoded.



Can decode 4K movies

Summary: The application has made great progress compared to the past. More games and applications are available. In addition, the 3D effect is better, and the USB playback function is greatly improved compared to before. A slight disadvantage is that there is still a slight delay in the speed of opening the program, which is reflected in the waiting time for some programs to open.

Sony 55X9000C evaluation summary

Sony 55X9000C

Evaluation summary: As the thinnest LCD TV currently on the market, the appearance of Sony 55X9000C has reached the top level, the ultimate ultra-thin metal body, coupled with exquisite workmanship and design, can be perfectly integrated into the modern home environment. In terms of picture quality, thanks to the 55-inch 4K IPS wide viewing angle panel, the new 4K image processing chip X1, and all other high-end technologies represented by Terricolor, the measured brightness, color gamut, and dynamic resolution are very high. excellent. In online video, video resources are genuine and approved, and there is no risk of being stopped. In addition, 4K and 3D zones can also meet the needs of users. The smart application has always been a relatively weak link of Sony, and it has also been greatly strengthened in the Sony 55X9000C. The addition of various Android application games makes it easier to use and more fun.

Having said so many advantages, let's talk about some of its shortcomings, such as joining the Android camp for the first time, there is still much room for improvement in terms of system fluency and program optimization, and secondly there is less on-line film source, the last one. The mirror screen is very easy to reflect, especially in the case of relatively full light.

In terms of selling price, currently Sony 55X9000C TV offers 99,999 yuan in Jingdong Mall, and 65-inch Sony 65X9000C is 29,999 yuan. As a 4K 55-inch model with ultra-thin and high quality, it is still more recommended to buy.
