2013-11-25
hi i'm ty pendlebury and today i'm looking at the sony r 5 20 and our 550 televisions if you're looking for the best bang for buck LCD TVs the mid-range level is a great place to start models like the samsung 5000 series and the sharp le 650 are cheap and actually outperformed the more expensive screens above them the sony r 5 20 and r 5 50 belong in this group and as such they offer a very good picture at a decent price in screen sizes up to 70 inches the design is elegant with a relatively slim black bezel and a solid metal stand that wouldn't be out of place in a cb2 catalog this is an entry-level smart TV which offers the usual Netflix and Hulu Plus as well as a web browser the r 520 doesn't have 3d while the r550 does though both are available for around the same price online the TV does have modern gimmicky features like screen mirroring and MHL though it did have limited success trying to use miracast in particular but picture quality is the main reason you will buy any television and the sony is very good for the money it beats the pants off both samsung six and seven series and is up to four hundred dollars cheaper while it doesn't have the deep blacks or local dimming of the m-series vizio contrast and black levels are still pretty decent sound quality is also a standout by releasing less TVs in 2013 sony has shown it's able to concentrate on making each one just that little bit better the r5 20 and our 550 are very good options if you want a large screen LCD and don't want to pay too much money this has been ty pendlebury for cnet com
