X1 Processor at its heart for powerful realism
With Sony’s X1 processor at its heart, this Sony 49 inch TV delivers the very best from 4K HDR images. The processor enhances all aspects of the image, including colour, contrast and clarity, to give optimised depth and realism. Working with the TRILUMINOS display, colours are natural and authentic, giving you a feeling of ‘being there’.
The smoothest images with Motionflow XR800 (100Hz)
Using a true 100Hz panel gives this Sony a faster refresh rate for smoother, more natural motion. Sony’s Motionflow XR800Hz tech enhances the natural ability of the 100Hz panel to give the smoothest, blur-free motion in its class.
HDR support, including Dolby Vision
HDR maximises picture quality, bringing detail to the darkest areas of the picture as well as making the overall image look more life-like than ever. As well as HDR10 and HLG formats, this Sony is also compatible with Dolby Vision. Dolby Vision optimises the HDR format to give quite simply the sharpest, most accurate images possible. Very much an industry standard, Dolby Vision continually adjusts the picture for the most remarkable realism.
Smart Android TV
Bringing together photos, music, movies, Internet and apps, the Sony Android system makes accessing a huge range of entertainment easy. The Android platform brings more apps than any other smart TV platform, meaning you’ve got the widest choice of smart TV possible.
Voice control your TV
Featuring Google Assistant built-in, this Sony TV effortlessly becomes part of your Google/Android home network. If you prefer to use a different platform, the Sony’s compatible, too. Apple AirPlay and Homekit compatibility makes it possible to integrate with your Apple system. Support for Amazon Alexa devices also means you can voice control via your existing Alexa device.
Sleek, Sony style
With its slim, aluminium bezel, this Sony TV looks every bit as sleek and timeless as you’d expect from a BRAVIA design. The matching legs not only provide a stable support but also compliment the design with their striking metal blade design and handy cable management built-in.
Get a more natural outlook on TV, with the Sony BRAVIA KD-49XH8505BU.

Not as good as I had expected
This was purchased to replace an existing 2018 50” Bravia model, and in some ways this is a worse product.

very pleased
Didn't know where to start when looking for an upgrade on our old but still perfectly good LG LCD tv. So sought some impartial advice from Tony at the Nottingham branch and came home with a new Sony tv, which we are both very pleased with and impressed by.

Back for good
My LG 49" 4k tv failed after 5 years. I was used to the picture quality over time, but not completely satisfied after previously owning a Sony.
I spent loads of time looking and reading specs for a new TV which in the end confused me with all the jargon. What steered me to buy this Sony TV was it is the perfect size for my room, has a 100 htz refresh rate (recommended by Andy) and a 6 year guarantee combined with Sony,s guarantee and at a reasonable price.
Best thing though for me is it simply has the best picture quality straight out of the box, fabulous detail whilst viewing coupled with my Panasonic theatre sound system. Love it. Thanyou

Good all rounder
Really pleased with this TV. I updated from an old set and haven't regretted my decision. I now have access to everything I need all in one place. The sound quality is an improvement and screen clarity is good. I just love the apps. I can now catch up on programmes I have missed instead of having to record. Plus, I can enjoy extra apps I never had before. I chose a 49" screen which compliments my lounge and enhances my viewing. I would recommend Sony Bravia.

Excellent picture & sound would recommend
An excellent picture and straightforward to set up. Like all modern TVs a dizzying array of options particularly when setting up external devices like soundbars. Cannot listen to headphones and still have TV sound, which was available on my last TV and can be a useful option. Printed instructions are minimal with a reliance on exploring the settings & trial & error. Availability of a comprehensive manual would be useful even if this is online. Overall excellent picture and sound, although like all flat screen TVs sound is much improved with a soundbar. Despite these minor points overall I'm happy with the TV and would recommend it to others.

Excellent replacement tv and stand
After buying a new Hi Fi system and record deck from Richer Sounds, we decided to look for a replacement TV and stand. Other stores did not compare with the service we received, albeit by telephone. The price was less than other stores and the internet sellers. We also received a 6yr guarantee which no one else offered. The TV was easy to set up, all on screen, picture and sound excellent. Fits beautifully on the stand.

Great picture and fantastic sound
I bought this 49 inch Sony TV to replace a broken Hisense tv. The 4k picture is fantastic the colours and the detail are brilliant. The dolby sound is brilliant for movies. It is a brilliant TV with lots of apps and features on it.
