As you’d expect with a lot of products, quality is a very important factor for choosing products in the “Televisions” category. But it’s even more important to consider and get a feel for quality when you’re buying online because you aren’t given the benefit of being able to see and try the item for yourself.
This is of course why we can’t stress enough the importance of reading lots of reviews, as it will really help you to get a good feel for how good the quality is.

Once you’ve had a good look over the reviews you’ll have a pretty good indication of how good the quality of Sony Bravia KD55XG8196 (2019) LED HDR 4K Ultra HD Smart Android TV is, but we also have the following factors that you should consider to get an idea of the quality of the product you’re looking at.
- Price: It probably sounds obvious, but there are links to the price you pay and the quality of a product. Try and set your expectations for the quality based on your budget. You wouldn’t expect a Rolls-Royce for the price of a Fiesta so bear this in mind when shopping.

It’s useful as you’ll probably already have a good idea of the sort of specs that make good Televisions. Also compare these specs to other similar products that are in the same price bracket.
- Brand: Sony are obviously a strong and recognisable brand for making great Televisions, so you’d expect Sony Bravia KD55XG8196 (2019) LED HDR 4K Ultra HD Smart Android TV to deliver to these expectations. But always consider the brand when you’re thinking about the quality of the product you’re going to buy, and where quality is an important factor to you, look only at those well known brands (of course only if your budget allows).
- Your experience with Televisions: You’ll no doubt have some history with buying Televisions, and you may have even bought products from the same brand, Sony, use this information to your advantage. You’ll probably have a good idea of how good the quality of the product was and any faults or floors you remember from it.
