Sony 50X82J 4k TRILUMINOS TV

As proud owners of another Sony TRILUMINOS we are excited each time we review another member of the premium brand. 

Sony 50X82J is a 4k LED TV with the picture enhancing TRILUMINOS Pro technology. It is also a Smart Google TV with a huge set of smart features. 

The Sony KDXF-50X82J is a 50-inch LCD TV from Sony. It's a 4K HDR smart TV that offers a resolution of 3840x2160 pixels. 

It is manufactured with Sony's X1 4K HDR Processor, which provides advanced picture processing and upscaling capabilities to enhance the overall viewing experience. It also supports High Dynamic Range (HDR) technology which expands the contrast and color range of the TV display for more vivid and lifelike image. It's also equipped with a variety of smart TV features, including built-in WiFi, Android TV, and voice control capabilities. 

Additionally, it has a motionflow XR400 and a dynamic contrast enhancement that helps smooth motion and improve contrast, respectively.

The 50X82J has an interesting design with a stand that is a bit different from what we have seen from Sony TVs in the last few years.
