To recap
The Sony XF8505 is a disappointing 4K HDR TV in among a far stronger line-up - from both competitors and Sony itself. Its panel choice means its weak at handling high dynamic range pictures and, therefore, isn’t worth the money. Look to the 9005 instead, or one of 2017’s stronger Sony or Samsung models.
