Looking for a new Sony TV

Hi,

I live in Denmark and I would like to buy a new TV for my living room.

I spent a lot of time on different TV models but I really like Sony televisions. However, I am a bit confused about my options right now

I was thinking about one of these models:

KDL-55W805B

KDL-55W828B

KDL-55W955B

KD-55X8505B

I heard that the X series are entry models for 4K technology and they are not that good (yet), and W9 series are not that perfect (although newer versions than W8).

And i know the fact that 4K televisions are not exceptionally different than full-hd televisions (to the naked eye).

Could anyone please help me about this? i really need some technical information about my choices. is there any models that someone recognizes or recommends between these models? or perhaps any advice for me?

Regards

Sasan

The W8 are practically the same. Sony claims there's a difference in motion interpolation features (if you have any use for this), but I'm yet find any conrete info to tell what that difference is.

The W9 has a wider stand, an IPS panel instead of VA (better viewing angles, worse blacks), passive 3D instead of active, and maybe other differences: http://www.hdtvtest.co.uk/news/kdl55w955b-201403103661.htm

If you don't need 3D, W7 should be practically the same as a W8 without 3D. The input lag, for games, is slightly lower than the W8. The LCD panels are slightly different, but I'm not sure there's a difference in practice. I've read here someone saying there's no motion interpolation on his W7xxB, but there is on mine (not a UK model), so maybe it differs per region.
