Sony X85L review: Quietly brilliant

While Sony has long excelled with its high-end LCD and OLED TVs, it’s struggled to really make a major splash with its mid-range LCD offering. Its X80 series have been consistently inconsistent due to their tendency to mix and match IPS and VA types of LCD panel, and while its step-up X85 series has typically been solid, it hasn’t quite had enough going on to stand out from the ultra-competitive mid-range crowd.
