Resolution : 1080p
Refresh Rate : 60 Hz

The Sony W650D LED TV has an average picture quality. It has good blacks when viewed in a dark room. Unfortunately, its screen uniformity has issues
and the TV cannot get that bright. On top of that, when viewed from the side, its picture loses even more of its appeal.

Curved : No

The Sony W650D doesn't boast a high end look but appears better than some other cheaper TVs. It is entirely made of plastic and its stand has a
decent finish. The edges are thin but its back becomes thicker around the middle of the TV.

Sony W650D Review (KDL40W650D, KDL48W650D, KDL55W650D) Page 33 of 98

Stand

The stand has a small footprint and holds the TV steadily. Interestingly, cables can be routed inside the back legs of the stand for a clean setup.

Footprint of the 40" TV stand: 24.8" x 8.3"

Back

Wall Mount : Vesa 200x200

The back of the TV isn't attractive but doesn't look particularly bad either. If wall mounted, the optical out input and one of the HDMI ports will be hard to
access.

Borders

Borders : 0.75" (1.9 cm)

Borders have an average thickness.

Thickness

Max Thickness : 2.52" (6.4 cm)

Compared to other smaller and cheaper TVs, the W650D doesn't appear too thick. Our max thickness measurement has been taken at the bottom part of the
TV where it is thicker.

Picture Quality

Movie performance on the Sony W650D is average due to the limited features. Dark scenes are fine, only showing issues with the black levels in very dark
rooms. Those who are sensitive to judder will notice when playing movies through a set top box or PC, and the colors are about average with very limited
options to fix issues.

The gray uniformity on this TV is bad, not only are the corners dark but there is a black patch on the bottom of the screen. There isn't too much banding, but
you'll definitely be able to see a dirty screen effect while panning over a playing field.

Even from just slightly on the side, blacks begin to become gray and colors shift. The vertical viewing angle isn't as bad due to the horizontal alignment of
the pixels (see the 'Pixels' section) which makes this TV a better fit for setup where the TV is higher than viewers eye level, for example in a bedroom.

For a 1080p TV, the Sony W650D covers the basics but faces strong competition. Some cheaper TVs offer better picture quality and performance which
makes the W650D hard to recommend in some cases.

The Vizio D 1080p 2016 is a better TV as long as the content being watched is of high quality (1080p). It has less blur which makes it an even better choice
for video games and sports. It is also a better fit for the living room since it can get brighter.

The TCL FS3750 offers better performances all around and comes with a much stronger smart platform. It has fewer picture options but as a whole, there
are not many reasons to get the Sony W650D over the TCL FS3750.

The Sony W600D only comes at a size of 32" and has worse picture quality than the W650D when viewed directly in front. It maintains a better picture
quality when viewed from the side though, and has better motion which makes it a better pick for sports and video games.

The Sony W650D is an average TV with an average picture quality. It is somewhat decent for video games but falls short of being good for any other
usages. Its low brightness and picture deterioration at an angle surely doesn't help. For an entry level TV, there is better, and often cheaper options available.

Great review! But I wanted to ask you, I heard that Sony usually calibrate their TV with a gamma of 2.4 in cinema mode and when I switch to this mode,
the gamma is set at -2 by default, can you measure it to see if it's correctly tracking the 2.4 gamma? Also, can you try to calibrate the white balance with that
new setting to see what improvement you can achieve with it? Or you're lacking of time? It would be so so so kind to you! By the way, in cinema mode you
can still change all the pictures setting by going to the menu by the "Home" button!
After some testing, we can confirm that in cinema mode with default setting and with gamma set a -2, that the TV is tracking a gamma of 2.4.
Unfortunately, we don't have time to recalibrate the white balance of this TV under this new setting.

When was the Sony KDL48W650D first on the market for sale? (how old is it in September, 2016?)
It appears to have first been available in April 2016, so approximately 5 months old at the moment.
