Performance-wise, the X930D stands shoulder to shoulder with Samsung’s curved-screen UN55KS9500, which is that brand’s top-performing 55-inch edge-lit curved LED LCD TV this year, and currently runs about $300 more. What you will get in this television is a beautiful image with decent motion processing, wonderful 10-bit panel performance that almost completely eliminates banding (Sony won’t say if it uses a 10-bit panel but it sure looks like it), an improved (not perfect) viewing angle from last year’s models, and beautiful HDR performance with vibrant specular highlights and deep blacks in the same frame, while mitigating to some extent the fine detail crushing in the dark shadows. The trade off will be an image without the same degree of black level richness, and some detail crushing in both the bright white and deep black areas of the picture. That feature only comes in the step-up Sony X940D or new flagship Z series models, in addition to top of the line Samsung sets and P- or Reference Series Vizios.
PRICETRACKER SONY XBR55930D FULL
The X930D series represents Sony’s third-best assortment of 4K Ultra HDTV models for 2016, and at the current $1,698 retail price for the 55-inch model we tested, you’ll get a respectable bargain and satisfying picture quality if you’re not quite ready to pony up for one of Sony’s higher-performing units with full array LED backlighting and local dimming. The 55-inch Sony XBR-X930D Series of 4K Ultra HD TV is one of the company’s top level edge-lit 4K LED LCD TVs this year, reaching “premium level” brightness, black level and high dynamic range (HDR 10 format) performance to produce superb picture contrast, and accurate colors.
