Conclusion
The Sony 55XG9505 TV - 55 inch version of the Sony 75XG9505 that we tested - is a very good LCD TV, but the limited number of backlight zones does not allow it to compete with the top players in the category like its big brother the Sony 65ZF9 or still the Samsung 75Q900R which display a light peak greater than 1,500 cd / m². This is now what is expected of a high-end LCD TV, a high brightness peak allowing it to stand out from the Oled TVs which dominate in all the other compartments of the display. The rest is excellent, with perfect calibration, good display delay, an finally smooth Android TV system and a practical hands-free voice control system.
