SONY TV THE BEST PERFORMANCE
TV: WHERE TO BUY IT CHEAP
R
Among so may TV brands. Sony
TV are generally the pretty safe
bet no matter what your needs
are. Why?
It was because it tends to have great picture
quality and good amount of polish on its
surface. Sony TV build quality also tends to
be better than the same range TV brands in
the market.
Compare to other brands, Sony TV are:
Good handling od Motion. Sony TV are the
pioneer of motion features. They usually
have the best interpolation and most of their
TVs have an image flicker feature to enhance
motion clarity.
Great Upscaling. Sony TV, even the cheaper
model do better than average at their range
when it comes to upscaling lower resolution
content.
10 • eRayn3 Magazine • www.eRayn3.com
Explore the New Exciting World with the Best
Smart Sony TVs!
1. Best Sony 4K TV: Sony X930E
(55” and 65”)
The best Sony TV we have reviewed so far is
the X930E model. This model is an impres-
sively bright TV that does HDR better than
other LCD TV while remaining a very ver-
satile set that can deliver for almost every
use-case.
Its picture quality is great and has great
impact on HDR since it helps to produce a
very bright highlights that pop.
It’s contrast is also amonth the best in the
market. Its dimming feature is better than
the average TVs. Thanks to the very quick
motion responsiveness of inputs, it’s an
equally great choice for gamers out there.
2. Best Mid-Range Sony 4k TV:
Sony X900E (49”, 55”, 65” and
75”)
The X900E packs a punch. In its price range,
it’s very difficult to beat. This Sony LED TV
offers most of the performance of the X930E
but for about 60% less money. It’s overall a
very similar TV.
Contrast is about the same and both feature
a nice local dimming feature that enhances
it even more. Considering this, the X900E
will please most buyers minus the pickier
enthusiast that really want the best when it
comes to HDR.
3. Best Budget Sony 4k TV: Sony
X700D (49’ and 55”)
If you are not too interested in HDR, or if you
would like one of the best sports watching
experience on a tighter budget, get the Sony

X700D. It doesn’t have as good picture qual-
ity compare to the more expensive models
, but it still packs a lot of value and will
often perform better than TVs multiple times
expensive for TV shows and sports.
If a home theater isn’t your main focus, you
might not see much of a benefit spending
more than what the X700D can offer you.
Summary:
Based on our study, their budget models are
not the most competitive TVs, but their high-
end and especially their mid-range TVs are
among the best, albeit usually at premium
price.

BEST MID RANGE
TABLET IN 2017
APPLE IPAD (5TH GENERATION)

Apple’s newest ipad is not really new at all, but a combination of existing parts primarily from the ipad air 1, ipad air 2, and iphone 6s.
the aluminum shell comes from the ipad air 1, giving the new ipad the same dimensions and weight. the 9.7-inch 2048×1536 ips display
also comes from the ipad air 1, which means the cover glass is not laminated to the panel like on the newer models and lacks the more
sophisticated antireflective coating.

Most of the motherboard components come from the iphone 6s, including an
apple a9 soc, with a dual-core twister cpu and powervr gt7600 gpu, paired with 2gb
of lpddr4 ram. its 32.4wh battery has 18% more capacity than the 9.7-inch ipad pro
and the outgoing ipad air 2, which should further boost battery life, especially when
paired with the phone soc. the ipad air 2 donates its 1.2mp f/2.2 front-facing
camera and 8mp f/2.4 rear camera, neither of which is anything special.

Basically this new ipad is a slightly thicker and heavier ipad air 2 with a
bigger battery and a lower price.bigger battery and a lower price.

14 • eRayn3 Magazine • www.eRayn3.com

APPLE IPAD MINI 4

The ipad mini 4’s only advantage is its smaller size. its 7.9-inch
2048×1536 (326ppi) display makes it noticeably smaller in every
dimension relative to the new 5th generation ipad, with weight
dropping from 469 grams to only 299 grams.

It uses the slightly older apple a8 soc that first appeared in the
iphone 6 and 6 plus, but comes with 2gb of ram like the 9.7-inch
ipads, enabling support for ios 10’s split-screen multitasking feature;
however, its smaller screen means that you’ll often only use the ipad
mini 4 with a single app at a time, so the additional ram is mostly useful
for keeping additional safari tabs and apps in memory.

There are still some use cases for split-screen view, though, like pinning a chat app to one side. you also get full srgb coverage on the
display, along with laminated cover glass and apple’s ar coating which reduces reflections and increases effective contrast. the ipad mini
4 comes with the same cameras, wireless connectivity options, and touch id fingerprint sensor as the new 5th generation ipad.

The ipad mini 4 is not a particularly good value compared to the new 9.7-inch ipad.

Huawei MediaPad M3

Huawei’s MediaPad M3 comes with an 8.4-inch 2560×1600 (16:10

aspect ratio) IPS display that is one of the sharpest displays
(359ppi) you’ll see on a tablet, with most other Android tablets
of this size and resolution using PenTile AMOLED panels that have
reduced red and blue subpixel density causing issues
with text rendition.

Powering this media-centric tablet is HiSilicon’s Kirin 950 SoC, which is also found in Huawei’s Mate 8 and Honor 8 flagship phones, paired
with 4GB of LPDDR4 RAM, and either 32GB or 64GB of internal storage with microSD support.

There’s also 802.11ac Wi-Fi, a fingerprint sensor integrated into the physical home button, and stereo speakers built into the left and right
sides of the aluminum chassis.
