Sony was the biggest TV manufacturer in the world once, but it's lost ground to LG and Samsung in recent years. The quality of its OLEDs has helped it claw back some market share, but what about its high-end LCD TVs? The 65-inch KD65XG9505BU certainly has the specs to compete with the best other brands can offer, but will a new speaker setup do enough to make the audio more immersive, and will the X1 Ultimate processor create the most lifelike images we've seen on a Sony LCD? Our expert review has the answers.
