Sony 55 Inch 4K Ultra HD TV – 55X85K

A TV that punches above its price

The X85K is one of the most budget-friendly TVs in Sony’s 2022 lineup, but it’s stacked with features you won’t find on other sets in this price range, including next-gen gaming capabilities and a native refresh rate of 120Hz. The 55″ KD-55X85K also has powerful Sony image processing and upscaling so you get a sharp, vibrant picture of all kinds of content.

Vivid color and texture

The X85K uses Sony’s unique TRILUMINOS™ PRO display technology. This system accurately reproduces a very wide palette of colors, which will make High Dynamic Range content look especially stunning.

This TV supports several HDR formats, including HDR10, which is a requirement for Ultra HD Blu-ray movies and streamed 4K content. It can also handle the more sophisticated Dolby Vision® format. This dynamic HDR system adjusts brightness and color levels in response to the video signal on a scene-by-scene basis for rich detail and color.

You also get Sony’s 4K HDR Processor X1™ which analyzes the color in individual objects and adjusts the contrast accordingly. When objects are remastered individually, you get greater depth, enhanced texture, and a more realistic picture.

Game on

The X85K has a lot in common with the pricier sets in this year’s Sony lineup, including some great gaming features. It will support enhanced Audio Return Channel (eARC), 4K at 120Hz, and Auto Low Latency Mode (ALLM) right out of the box. After a firmware update, it will also support Variable Refresh Rate (VRR) for smooth, tear-free graphics.

Google on board

The KD-55X85K includes the Google TV smart app platform which consolidates a wide range of streaming services into a single user interface. Watch an episode of Ted Lasso on Apple TV followed by Station Eleven on HBO Max all from one watchlist, without having to dig around in individual apps.

And if you’re feeling really lazy, you can simply ask Google Assistant to pull up a show or movie. You can also adjust the volume, change channels or inputs, and control other basic TV functions using your voice.

More streaming options

The X85K has Chromecast built-in and Apple AirPlay® 2 support so you can easily stream all kinds of content from your mobile device or compatible computer.

The TV also includes the Apple TV streaming app, so you can rent, buy, and watch titles from Apple’s video library, and subscribe to Apple TV channels, without connecting a separate device.
