To recap
The Sony XF9005 improves upon last year’s model in many areas: brightness, colour, HD upscaling and motion clarity all get a bosst. Problem is, so does the backlight blooming as a result of that extra brightness. Otherwise - ignoring the big feet of the design - this is one stellar back-lit LCD telly.
