Sony Bravia KD65X8500C Brightness and Viewing Angle

Hey guys,

I am sure plenty of you got this TV from all the crazy sales recently. I got mine from eBay for $2071 which is a bargain but I have to wait until the 15th before getting it delivered. Meanwhile, I went to HN to check out how it stacks up against other TVs.

While it gets quite a good review from rtings.com I found the screen very dimmed even comparing to entry 4Ks like the LG UF680Ts or Samsung's JU6400s. It gets a lot worse when viewing from the side too. Before I make any move, I would like to get some feedback from actual owners.

  • How do you guys find the TV in terms of contrast, brightness and viewing angle
  • How do you compare it to other TVs at a similar price point?
  • Did you do your own calibration (or use rtings.com's calibration)? Does it help?

Thanks in advance.
