Should you prefer a picture with good colour, you've come to the right area. This Sony is wonderfully realistic, serving up vibrant reds, distinct blues and inky blacks on its edge-lit LED LCD section. The clean whites could have a touch more punch, but that's our only real complaint. Viewing angles are great too - not something that is certainly said about Sony's 2013 sets - with colours staying just as vivid as you move aside.
Stick on a Blu-ray and you'll be treated to some sort of crisp, smooth, detailed picture, and even standard-def TV and Videos look great. You might want to spend a little time tweaking the settings though - as is frequently the case with modern TVs, you'll get the best results by turning off the many (usually unnecessary) 'Reality Creation' and 'noise reduction' processes then starting again.
If 3D floats your boat, the W829B is on the active variety and comes with two pairs of specs from the box. You lose a little brightness and might notice a bit smearing at times, but overall the picture remains superb with three dimensions.
