According to our television expert
With the Sony KD-49XG8096, you have a whole world of entertainment at your disposal. This smart TV is equipped with the Android operating system. This allows you to quickly switch between live TV, websites, and apps such as YouTube or Netflix. You can use the 4 HDMI inputs to connect multiple devices at the same time. Think, for instance, of a console, digital decoder, Blu-ray player, or soundbar. This way, you'll never have to switch any cables again. Thanks to the 4K resolution, you get to see every detail, no matter which way you look. Videos with a lower resolution are automatically upscaled. You can view the images on the IPS Triluminos screen, which guarantees clear images, a wide color gamut, and a wide viewing angle.

The television has been in use for almost a month now. We are generally satisfied with: Installation: very simple. Mounting the base on the TV was the most difficult in my opinion. Installation is fairly self-explanatory. Just remember that the manual is in the television. It took me a while to find that out. TV operation: I am familiar with android. This makes the operation intuitive and easy for me. In my opinion, it is a nice sleekly designed TV. A fraxi leans backwards on its feet, but not disturbingly. I miss a uni cable like you see with more expensive models these days. The cables can be hidden in the legs, so they don't bother me too much. A large screen compared to my old 32 inch screen. That takes some getting used to. Sound: Flat screen TVs are known for a somewhat limited sound reproduction. I really like that with this TV. The sound comes out well. The sound can also be very loud. Nice if needed. Full bass is of course missing, although the sound certainly does not sound tinny, any form of bass is present. Consider a soundbar if necessary. Image quality: This is brilliant compared to my previous television. Sometimes the colors are a bit oversaturated, but this can be adjusted. The X1 processor does its job well. Recently watched some older films and the upscaling provides a significantly better picture than how I remembered the film. The TV does suffer from backlight bleeding during dark scenes. I would expect a TV in this price range to be better. Another minus point is that I had a crash a few times in the first 2 days. Switching from Netflix back to television and after that I couldn't do anything except physically restart the TV by briefly removing the plug from the socket. Presumably this had to do with an incompatible CI+ module. It hasn't happened since I got a new one from the cable company. Conclusion: great television. Image quality is superb with unfortunately backlight bleeding in dark scenes. Sound is good. As far as I'm concerned, I recommend it, although I think you should be able to get better for the retail price.

I've had the TV for almost two weeks now and I really like it. The image is super sharp, especially with 4k programs via Netflix. The colors are vibrant and black is true black. The design is sleek and because of the thin bezel it is not a huge TV and you still have a nice large image. The sound quality is really much better than my previous LCD TV of a few years old, and also well adjustable for various programs/movies. Before I bought the TV, I considered buying a soundbar, but I don't think I need it. The TV is also connected to the 5.1 home cinema via optical out output for even better sound. However, for daily use, the TV speaker is of very good quality. The Android TV is also a nice handy addition, although I don't actually use it in practice. I mainly watch normal TV, via ChromeCast or Netflix. The built-in ChromeCast is really handy, just like the Netflix button that the children can easily operate themselves. Switching between the normal TV, Netflix and ChromeCast is also nice, because the TV recognizes this itself. The voice control works reasonably well, but it doesn't add much for me so I don't use it in practice. In short: a nice TV with good picture and sound that improves the user experience thanks to the extra smart functions!

The installation of the TV was really fast. The presentation of HD channels is a pleasure and is already very sharp in the default settings. I haven't changed anything in the picture settings in this regard. I find the picture quality excellent for mid-range SmartTv. (You get a relatively low entry into the 4K / HDR segment). Design is acceptable. The device looks and feels visually appealing chic in the living room. On the visible side you see aluminum, on the back is plastic. The streaming of 4K content via Videoland and the playback of videos from a 4K system camera takes place in a brilliant resolution! Thanks to the USB 3.0 connection, the content is displayed without delay. At the moment you only notice the difference with a normal TV. The colors are not overly strong or too pale. The sound could be better. Whoever spoils such a large "Bass" must therefore also think of the necessary change for a solid bar. I already have a soundbar from one other brand, which was recognized without any problems. When switching the TV on and off, the the soundbar also turned on and off. The response time between channel changes is too slow. On the remote some buttons are too close. (scroll down button and TV button) If you are busy entering something and you want to scroll down you often press the TV button The start-up time, when it is completely off, is long. Here you notice the slightly weaker process. When turning the TV on and off, the soundbar also turns on and off.
