BRAVIA 5 K65XR55B
Sony · £1,499
Worth being NRY provisional
Mini LED at 65 inches for £1,499, which is Sony's cheapest route into the technology. Mini LED is the honest middle ground: thousands of small backlight zones get much closer to OLED black without OLED's brightness ceiling or its anxiety about static logos. Sony lean on their professional monitor heritage here and in this case it is not just marketing.

- Someone in a bright room who wants contrast without worrying about burn-in.
- Not for
- Anyone in a dark room, where OLED at this money still wins on black.
What we checked
- Sony cite decades of professional monitor development behind it. Richer Sounds
Marked provisional: the justification rests on 1 source(s); two independent ones is the bar. We publish it anyway and say so, rather than waiting for evidence that may never arrive.
