Sony KDL-55W905A - Great for Gaming

If you’re a gamer, meanwhile, we’ve got some brilliant news for you. Using the game preset with as much picture processing turned off as we could find, the 55W905 delivered an input lag measurement of just 7ms – the lowest figure we’ve ever recorded from a domestic television. The only catch is that if you game on a 55W905, you won’t be able to blame your TV for your rubbishness at Call of Duty…

Hopefully this characteristic spreads to as much of the Bravia range as possible.

With most picture processing disabled in game mode, I don't know how much difference the high-end X-Reality Pro chipset makes. Maybe they've engineered the set to physically bypass as much processing hardware as possible in game mode to reach such an impressive result.

Another is the set’s use of Sony’s latest X-Reality Pro picture processing system. It reduces the number of processing chips it uses from three to two for enhanced efficiency and cheaper production, and it improves still further the effectiveness of the unique ‘database’ approach that’s served it so well on previous TVs.

Still slower than CRT TV's?

Sony KDL-47W805A - Input Lag

One last performance element to test is input lag – a key factor for serious gamers. The Sony 55W905A delivered one of the lowest input lag figures we’ve seen on a TV, but we weren’t expecting similar heroics from the 47W805A due to its use of an LG passive 3D panel – panels we’ve often found to introduce quite lengthy delays between sources arriving at an input and them appearing on the screen.

However, our concerns prove wholly unfounded, as remarkably the Sony KDL-47W805A produces even less image lag than the W9: a negligible 6ms so long as you choose the Game picture ‘scene’ in the Options menu and additionally turn off every other bit of picture processing you can find.

Not as good a TV as the higher end W9 but another promising sign for gaming on Bravias.

Basic CRTs, easily. Wouldn't surprise me if some of the later 100Hz+ sets crept up a few ms but still super quick compared to the full digital sets until recently.

I always thought when they measure this, it's against a CTR as a baseline of 0ms. So in theory, these TVs are 6-7ms slower than a CRT, which makes almost zilch difference given you probably can't react fast enough. Probably give an advantage over those TVs running 20-30ms by a small amount and anything over that gets successively more.
