The Android TV smart menus, meanwhile, are as cluttered and dictatorial as ever, showing little understanding of what most TV users actually want from a smart TV platform.
As if this wasn’t bad enough, the remote control provided with the X850Fs is pretty ropy. It’s plasticky, cluttered, and the circle within a circle design that plays host to many of the TV’s key buttons is a nightmare to use in a dark room. Actually, it’s not much fun to use in a bright room, either.
The Android TV platform does, at least, support Chromecast, along with Alexa and Google Assistant control. It also carries a lot of apps - though, in truth, most people will likely only care about the ones that provide video streaming services. These include 4K HDR versions of Netflix, Android and Google plus, in the UK, the YouView platform, which provides access to the catch-up TV services of the main terrestrial broadcasters.
The cons far outweigh the pros with the X850Fs’ smart features and operating system, though. And the same, sadly, goes for their picture quality.
The picture problems stem from the core screen specifications of all but the 85-inch model. Specifically, Sony’s unfortunate decision to combine edge LED lighting with IPS-type LCD panels.
