You cannot use universal wall mounting VESA systems. The bad thing is that you have to use this one. The good thing is that the wall mounting solution comes bundled. Bad design, simple as that.Īnother curious design decision is the wall mounting solution. The ethernet plus, all analog inputs as well as the optical out connector point out towards the wall. Unfortunately that it not the case either as most connectors point out towards the back wall.

It should also be easy for Sony to make sure that all connectors point down or to the side. I cannot recall the last the last time I saw a modern TV with an external power supply, and the thick cabinet should allow plenty of room for Sony to integrate it. The worst thing is probably that the TV has an external power supply a big bulky one. Connectors are scattered all over the place and the bottom of the TV is much thicker than the top. It is clear that the designer just did not care. The backside of the TV on the other hand is not elegant at all. Below is a white power LED that can be turned off in the menus if you prefer. Last year, the Sony logo was found on bottom bar, but on this year’s W8 the logo is integrated into the actual TV frame. The bezel around the LCD panel is very slim, except for bottom section that hides speakers. The stand is a thin, metal bar that gives the TV a light and elegant look.

Sony W8 exists in four variants called W805B, W815B, W828B, W829B. Sony has started focusing more on high-end TVs with incredible 4K resolution, but have they forgot about the mid-range segment? We hope not and here we take a closer look at the affordable W8 TV from Sony. In 2014, a mid-range Sony TV also features Smart TV features and a slim-frame design.

This W8 is one of them and it is a mid-range TV with Full HD resolution. Sony had decided leave most models unchanged and instead include a "b" at the end of the model name to indicate a 2014 model. Sony has released a new line-up of 2014 TVs and if you were looking for TVs last year you might recognize the "W8".
