The mid-range TVs are requested by the majority of users because they offer interesting features for a price that is sometimes cheap. New models have been coming out this year that continue to improve the experience by integrating new features. Among so many options, Sony has a striking model, which stands out for maintaining balance in its different sections. Therefore, we want to analyze in detail what the Sony BRAVIA KD-50X75WL has for us that seems attractive to us for all that it offers.<\/p>\n

Design<\/h3>\n

The\u00a0Sony BRAVIA 50X75WL\u00a0offers a modern aesthetic that slightly improves its appearance compared to previous models due to the inclusion of new details, so we notice a striking appearance from any angle.\u00a0However, we must take into account details regarding its appearance.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Firstly, we are dealing with the 50-inch version that requires adequate space for its installation.\u00a0Obviously it will be ideal for medium-sized rooms or rooms.\u00a0To receive a better placement we can purchase the VESA support, yes, it is a product that is purchased separately.<\/p>\n

The best thing will be to place the\u00a0Sony BRAVIA KD50X75WL\u00a0directly on the wall, so we get a better view of the front, which from our point of view is the most striking because it provides thin bezels, which create an elegant environment, in addition, it has a chassis black.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

In the rear we see a slightly voluminous space that is not annoying as it happens in other versions, therefore, the aesthetics improve a lot.\u00a0Another interesting detail is that the construction implements good quality materials that improve resistance\u00a0.<\/p>\n

Connectivity<\/h3>\n

This TV integrates four HDMI 2.0 (CEC)\u00a0inputs\u00a0\u00a0that provide a convenient experience when connecting compatible devices.\u00a0The reality is that performance improves thanks to the\u00a0\u00a0ARC\u00a0,\u00a0\u00a0ALLM\u00a0\u00a0and\u00a0\u00a0eARC\u00a0functions that serve to improve the performance of everything we see.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

It also works with two USB 2.0\u00a0ports\u00a0\u00a0that let you play videos, pictures, and even music from compatible drives.\u00a0However, it has another function of greater interest for those who want to view its content at another time.\u00a0An 80GB drive is required.<\/p>\n

There will be other interesting connections\u00a0such\u00a0as the\u00a0\u00a0Ethernet\u00a0port ,\u00a0\u00a0optical audio output\u00a0\u00a0,\u00a0\u00a0headphone\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0jack\u00a0\u00a0and\u00a0\u00a0an\u00a0\u00a0antenna\u00a0.\u00a0In the table of specifications you will be able to see the compatible tuners that really allow the scanning of both terrestrial, satellite and cable channels.<\/p>\n

The wireless theme does not disappoint either, although it does have disadvantages in comparison to some models of its competition.\u00a0Here we have a Wi-Fi Direct\u00a0connection\u00a0\u00a0,\u00a0\u00a0Bluetooth 4.2\u00a0\u00a0and\u00a0\u00a0DLNA\u00a0.\u00a0Options that will improve your experience when using the television wirelessly.<\/p>\n

Image quality and functions in general<\/h3>\n

The\u00a0Sony BRAVIA KD-50X75WL\u00a0shows us an acceptable image thanks to the optimization they use.\u00a0However, it will not be a quality that becomes incredible, therefore, we must consider even the smallest detail.\u00a0\u00a0Firstly, it includes a 4K\u00a0resolution\u00a0\u00a0that tries to show realistic scenes.<\/p>\n

The negative point is that it includes a Direct LED\u00a0backlight\u00a0\u00a0that in theory is the one with the least power, as if that were not enough, it does not have local dimming, which causes us to see significant quality losses in very dark or bright environments.\u00a0Therefore, we must take care of the placement a little.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

The good thing is that this television is equipped with a good variety of technologies that improve essential parameters such as color, contrast, brightness, and saturation.\u00a0Among the most notable functions we find\u00a04K X-Reality Pro\u00a0,\u00a0\u00a0Dynamic Contrast Enhancer\u00a0,\u00a0\u00a0Frame Dimming\u00a0\u00a0and\u00a0\u00a0Live Color Technology\u00a0.<\/p>\n

It also features\u00a0\u00a0HDR10\u00a0,\u00a0\u00a0HLG\u00a0\u00a0, and\u00a0\u00a0Dolby Vision\u00a0\u00a0which are important technologies for quality enhancement in movies and video games.\u00a0Of course, it must be compatible otherwise we will not notice the change.\u00a0The maximum frequency will be\u00a0\u00a060 Hz\u00a0\u00a0, which is acceptable to be a mid-range.<\/p>\n

Sound<\/h3>\n

Another negative point of this television is its audio that only has a total of\u00a020W\u00a0.\u00a0We really can’t complain too much as it’s usually average sound within this category, however\u00a0\u00a0these days the content requires a bit more quality from the speakers\u00a0.<\/p>\n

The good thing is that they integrate important functions such as\u00a0\u00a0Acoustic Auto Calibration\u00a0,\u00a0\u00a0X-Balanced speaker\u00a0,\u00a0\u00a0DTS Digital Surround\u00a0,\u00a0\u00a0Dolby Atmos\u00a0\u00a0and\u00a0\u00a0Dolby Audio\u00a0.\u00a0These technologies improve the experience considerably, although the problem continues to be the power of the speakers.<\/p>\n

Software analysis<\/h3>\n

The\u00a0Sony BRAVIA 50X75WL\u00a0comes with the latest version of\u00a0Google TV\u00a0, so we found better optimization and security at the same time, although that’s partly because this TV includes a\u00a04K X1\u00a0quad-core processor, as well as includes an internal memory of\u00a016 GB\u00a0.<\/p>\n

In this way there will be no problem when downloading and installing various applications.\u00a0We are offered a very complete store that offers more than 7,000 options\u00a0, although not all of them are functional.\u00a0However, it includes today’s most popular apps among many other options.<\/p>\n

Another attraction of the Sony BRAVIA KD50X75WL is that it works through Google Assistant and Alexa voice assistants\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0that improve control of certain features. Finally, we must mention that it is possible to transmit from an iPhone, iPad or Mac thanks to\u00a0\u00a0Apple AirPlay\u00a0\u00a0and\u00a0\u00a0Apple Homekit.<\/p>\n

It works with an attractive system that stands out for the variety of features it includes, which provide superior entertainment<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n
