The Sony W600B LED TV is a great budget gaming TV. However, it has a narrow viewing angle and it doesn't have advanced features like motion interpolation. These two issues shouldn't be a concern to gamers, though.

Our Verdict

0.0
Mixed Usage 

If you are a gamer looking for a 40" or 48" LED TV that doesn't break your bank, the Sony KDL40W600B or the Sony KDL48W600B is your best bet. It has low input lag and offers great picture quality for the price. For use other than gaming, you will prefer the Samsung H6350.

Pros
  • Great gaming TV. The input lag is low and when you turn on the LED Motion mode, the motion blur is limited.
  • Great picture quality for the price, both in dark and bright rooms.
Cons
  • No motion interpolation feature. If you like the soap opera effect for movies or TV shows, this isn't your TV.
  • Loss of saturation at an angle. The picture quality when viewed from the side is greatly reduced.

    How We Test TVs
    How We Test TVs

    We buy and test dozens of TVs yearly, taking an objective, data-driven approach to deliver results you can trust. Our testing process is complex, with hundreds of individual tests that take over a week to complete. Most of our tests use specially designed test patterns that mimic real content, but we also use the same sources you have at home to ensure our results match the real-world experience. We use two main tools for our testing: a Colorimetry Research CR-100 colorimeter and a CR-250 spectroradiometer.
