10 best Sony TVs
The Japanese company Sony is one of the oldest and most successful TV manufacturers in the world. For more than 70 years of history, the company has brought its technologies to perfection and earned an excellent reputation. This brand is considered synonymous with quality and reliability. This is what millions of users love it for. Sony TVs traditionally stand out from many competitors with a really long service life, stability, stable construction, excellent color reproduction and especially very decent sound. At the same time, the brand keeps up with the times. While Sony does not always chase the latest trends, once they are born, the firm always adopts the best innovations, and at times creates them itself.
Often, TVs of this brand are compared with two other industry mastodons - Samsung and LG. These manufacturers, like Sony, delight with an incredibly wide range, a variety of functions and options, innovation and new inventions. However, the quality criterion is still invariably on the side of the Japanese. Even the cheapest and most basic models from this company will last for many years and will not disappoint with a small viewing angle or uneven screen backlighting. However, Sony, LG and Samsung have different definitions of affordability. Japanese developments are by definition more expensive, but they bypass competitors in terms of performance. Sony's most elite and high-priced TVs are even more thoughtful and incredible attention to detail. However, surprisingly, they often turn out to be even more profitable than others and are still more reliable. At the same time, the choice of the company's models in all segments is very large.
