  • PositiveTolle Bildqualität bei weiten Blickwinkeln
  • NegativeRelativ hoher Stromverbrauch
  • NegativeKeine DivX-Unterstützung

Obwohl der Sony KD-43XF8505 im Test nur ein befriedigendes TV-Bild liefert, ist die Bildqualität in der Gesamtbetrachtung kaum zu schlagen. Das IPS-Panel glänzt insbesondere mit weiten Blickwinkeln, hoher Helligkeit und einem tollen Kontrast. Die Tonqualität ist ebenfalls sehr gut und die Ausstattung üppig. Ein besseres Gesamtpaket bekommen Sie aktuell bei keinem 43-Zoll-TV geboten.
