Sony Bravia KDL-42W805 review - this is probably one of the most expensive 42-inch LED TVs on the market today. Sony Bravia KDL-42W805 is a premium 42-inch 3D Smart LED TV offering some of the latest technology and features.

Sony Bravia KDL-42W805 is very well build and stylish TV with some Sony design elements that you will not find in devices from other TV brands.
So you are probably asking yourself what makes this TV so expensive and what differs it from the rest Full HD 1080p 3D TVs. Well, first of all we should probably mention the Triluminos display technology which Sony is using in this TV.  This is new backlight technology which performs significantly better than standard LED backlit panels.

Sony is also using their X-Reality PRO picture processing technology combined with the Motionflow XR 400 Hz.

The rest is pretty much 'basic' stuff for new Sony TVs - 24p True Cinema, Passive 3D, Wi-Fi Direct and many others. What I like most about Sony TVs is the fact that they usually come with all the ports and Interfaces that you can think of, so I am not even going to mention them, the KDL-42W805 has them all (USB, HDMI, SCART, PCMCIA...).

Sound

Sony Bravia KDL-42W805 has two 10W Bass Reflex Box speakers with S-Force Front Surround 3D and Dolby Digital Plus. They provide very nice and clear sound with deep bass.

Price

The price of the Sony Bravia KDL-42W805 is probably its only drawback. This TV costs around 1000 Euro which is a lot of money for a 42-inch TV.

And just in case you want something slightly cheaper you can take a look at the LG 42LA691S which is one of my favorite 42-inch 3D LED TVs.

And if you want something much cheaper than the  Bravia KDL-42W805 than you may like the Sony Bravia KDL-42W650, the LG 42LA660S or the LG 42LA640S. They are all pretty good TVs so you can't go wrong with any of these.
