if you thought you'd seen every kind of TV think again this ultra expensive OLED TV from Sony is one-of-a-kind it has unique stunning style thanks to this giant kickstand its speakers are actually part of the TV screen itself and best of all they look some of the best picture quality of any TV we've ever tested let's take a closer look the first thing you notice from the front is that it doesn't appear to be any stand at all the bottom edge of the TV rests directly on the table or other furniture for a look that's basically all picture from the side you can see it leans back slightly supported by this big kickstand which have a heavy weight at the bottom so it doesn't tip forward the panel itself is ultra thin typical of OLED so all the connections the power supply and even a subwoofer housing the kickstand can hide behind this panel for a clean look a locking hinge lets you fold the kickstand flat for wall mounting in a first for any TV we tested the rest the sound actually comes through the TV screen itself the little actuators behind the TV actually vibrate the LCD screen to deliver dialogue and most of the other noises we hear in our listening test that Sony sounded better than a traditional flat panel TV but still couldn't compete with inexpensive sound bars the sound might be no big deal but the picture on the sony is phenomenal it uses the same OLED panels as LG and in our side-by-side comparison it ran neck and neck with that company's 27 OLED TVs black panels are perfect and combined with bright highlights to deliver unbelievable contrast handily beating the LCD TVs we compared it to differences between the Sony and LG OLED were minor however and overall picture quality was essentially a tie the main reason to pay extra for the Sony would be to get its unique styling or if you really like its Android TV powered operating system that's a quick look at the sony xba-1 e OLED TV I'm David Katz Piracy net
