The Sony BRAVIA X800E series is not a new product as it was launched in 2017. But that doesn’t mean that it doesn’t deserve attention now. In fact, you will be surprised to know that it is gaining ground with users in Nairobi and beyond who seek to research it before buying it.
For this reason, we deem it appropriate that you know the product. Launched three years ago, the X800E series was launched in three size variants, 43 inches, 49 inches and 55 inches. These are smart TVs with Wi-Fi certification. It’s next to a built-in Chromecast that lets you install any streaming app you need.
Of course, streaming content would require a stable wireless connection of at least 10 Mbps. You also get 3 USB ports and 1 HDMI port for connection to any other external device. It houses an LED screen which would be disappointing for those who like high quality content.
Fortunately, it is available in 4K UHD resolution, which is not the case for all TVs. To cover even more, the TV contains many features to increase the content to the highest definition. This includes Live Color technology, TRILUMINOS, Motionflow ™ XR 240 (native 60 Hz).
The sound of the X800E is powered by Dolby Digital and DTS Digital Surround. Of course, few Kenyans are ever satisfied with the clear sound of a television screen, but it is good to know about Sony’s efforts.
Is the Sony X800E worth buying?
Honestly, with a TV existing since 2017, you will obviously miss a lot on most of the features that have been launched since then in later products. It’s like buying a flagship phone introduced two years ago, knowing what kind of amazing alternatives there are now.
However, the price dropped when it saw that its value is not the same as in 2017. And that’s why some will be content to buy a much cheaper 4K TV and sacrifice themselves on some of the finer details.
