Sony XH81
Purchased 2 weeks ago as a replacement for an older Sony T.V. Excellent picture quality and features. I did find I had to adjust down the colour intensity from the factory pre-set, in order to get a more life like picture, but that was straight forward in the settings control. Overall, very pleased, as with all my Sony purchases.

Can’t go wrong with a Sony
I went elsewhere when we purchased our last Television and have always regretted it. Great to be back with Sony - just so advanced and simple to use.

Not all features available
I’d be really happy with this tv if all features were available. I bought this Sony Bravia to replace the Sony Bravia I had because it’s been a brilliant tv. But it hasn’t got a sound mode so you’re stuck with the sound that it’s programmed with. Some channels sound quite tinny. Other than that a good tv
