Guest Post: "Miraculous: Making a (list within a) List and Checking it Twice (oh, wait, Christmas, you're not invited)"

478230-enhanced-buzz-932-1330218673-71 On November 28, 2013, a holiday comes along that's literally once in a several lifetimes. The day is so grand, so enigmatic, that it has the potential to diminish the light of all other holidays by comparison—and not just because it includes eight nights' worth of candles.

Thanksgivvukah. You’ve seen it trending on Buzzfeed, you’ve worried about the inevitable comas when turkey and latke meet their (nondenominational) maker in your family’s stomachs. Despite its spectacular hybrid roots, Thanksgivvukah has more potential than ever for that all-too-familiar horror: family drama. To make the most of the day, and to keep our elders vaguely in their (drunken, overly nostalgic) place, we must go to our elders to hear their stories so we do not fail this novel occasion. I bring to you the ghosts of "The OC" past—keynote holiday scholar, Seth Cohen, in particular—to advise us how to make this holiday live up to its miraculous hype.

  1. You can have your potatoes and eat them too.

At the introduction of Chrismukkah, we all remember Seth setting Ryan up. With a menorah in one hand and a candy cane in the other, Seth demands, "What will it be, Hannukah or Christmas?" This terrible question is followed immediately by the reassuring statement that Ryan doesn't have to choose after all.

The same is true for Thanksgivukkah. Sweet potatoes? Mashed potatoes? Latkes? The answer is simply yes. (And you can be sure there will be more of everything for you since you'll be joined by a table full of WASP-y Newport biddies determined to stick to their carb-free, non-eating diets.)

  1. You complete me.

There are plenty of ongoing dialogues about what makes for a good holiday. Many children choose favorite holidays based on the rewards promised, be they candy or presents. But for Millennials, as we get older and more nostalgic, the family dinner table becomes the benchmark of a great holiday. Thanksgivukkah is a win for everyone: the largest feast imaginable combined with the most extended gift-giving. Gluttony on all counts.

  1. What to do about Scrooge.

Scrooge is mad as ever. He’s been left out of the portmanteau holiday and he’ll do anything to throw a metaphorical wrecking ball at it, even if he has to throw an actual wrecking ball at it. We’ve seen family members ruin holidays time and time again—even holidays that, as Seth says, "have twice the resistance of a regular holiday." It’s a tale old as time: endless food, lessons about miracles in the form of oil—and then BAM! Your racist grandparent starts talking about immigration. BAM! Your 18-year-old cousin pulls you aside to tell you she’s pregnant and running away from home with her high school boyfriend. BAM! Your uncle has had too much to drink and confesses he’s gay. BAM! Your mother tells you she doesn’t like your sister’s girlfriend. BAM! Your sister’s girlfriend heard that. BAM! BAM! BAM! Dead holiday.

You know the drill, and it sucks. Keep the fam from ruining this glorious day with the following tricks:

  • The Oliver Twist effect: Look right into the offending grandparents' eyes with that trembling pout they’ve always been easily manipulated by. Bonus points for working in the term "gruel."
  • Tryptophan Terror: Lure the raging relative into the kitchen by opening the oven door. Let them have a bite, sit them on the couch, and let the turkey take it from there.
  • The B Plotline Distraction: Send in Julie Cooper. She will ruin everything momentarily, but she’ll also take the attention off of the real problems happening between the people you actually care about.
  • Dreidel Football: When in doubt, gamble them into the holiday spirit. Whether it’s throwing around the good ol' American pigskin or spinning that top 'til someone gets nauseated, bully them right into dunking that potato pancake into cranberry sauce. It will be hard to keep arguing after that.
  • Jewish Guilt: Often the bane of existence, but you’ll need it for this part-Puritan, part-mystic day if you want to make it out alive. Get self-deprecating. Remind them what a miracle it is that you get to have a Thanksgivukkah when no one else will for another 70,000 years. You call THIS a holiday? You call THIS a miracle?!
  1. Best Thanksgivukkah Ever

If we’ve learned nothing else from Chrismukkahs past, it’s that holidays allow us to press pause on our family differences. So take advantage of the literary devices of both of these miraculous days and don't fret about the drama, because this super-day is the one moment everyone might be able to let old resentments go. And if not, there’s always pecan-pie rugelach waiting under the soft light of the Hannukah menorah to temporarily quiet those feuding mouths.

Lisa Hiton can probably be found in Greece when she's not found in yoga class or in Redivider.

Everyone needs an ETC bag.

BITTREX:ETCBTC   Ethereum Classic / Bitcoin
Great things coming for ETC- Callisto airdrop early March (1 ETC = 1 CLO), beginnings of sidechain tech, more IOT             14.29% development, perhaps a wave of ICO             14.29% , ETC-ETH chart looks good, and hopefully more Shillbert on Twitter.

ETH is going to run into some major backlog this year I believe, may bring lots of activity to ETC as BTC             5.35% backlog did to LTC. Also, ETC is by far more secure and well-polished code-wise than ETH, and I think the commits on the ETC github will surpass ETH this year. So much money sitting on ETH right now with the main chain + Dapps, with so little dev activity to secure the main chain from idiotic stuff like the Parity bugs...reminds me of a house of cards.

Of the "top" projects, ETC has had the least amount of bull action the past few months. I think it's coiling up nicely for a big explosion this year.

U.S. Army to Generate Electricity from Kitchen Waste

San Francisco Gate reports that the US Army is preparing to deploy to Iraq two 4-ton "tactical biomass refineries" designed to turn piles of trash into electricity. "Each can run for 20 hours on a ton of trash, producing enough power to light a small village."

The novel machines were built by defense contractors and Purdue University scientists as part of the Army's push to reduce troops' diesel fuel use in Iraq, where convoys are frequently targeted by insurgents.

The design sounds quite elegant, yet it is complex; so the first step is to field test the prototype in Iraq.
Nate Mosier, an assistant professor of agricultural and biological engineering who is overseeing the work at Purdue, said the refineries are unique in their ability to burn multiple fuels at once. They're also portable, designed to fit snugly into a standard shipping container.

The trash-to-energy process begins when unfiltered garbage is fed into a chute, falling into a grinder that chews the trash into small pieces.

Organic food waste heads to a bioreactor where an industrial fermenting process produces ethanol. In another chamber, plastic, cardboard and other trash items are heated to create low-grade propane or methane.

Those gases and the ethanol are then combusted in the refinery's modified diesel engine, which powers a 60-kilowatt generator [possibly similar to the one pictured].

About 10 percent of the electricity the refineries produce are used for the machines' power needs, but the remaining 90 percent would be available for the troops.

Like all trash to energy projects, utility hangs on reliability and maintenance cost. If you only have one and it breaks or needs an overhaul, you are in a black out. So, you'd still need diesel fuel backup for those periods.

And they better be careful not to have a few bullets left on the cafeteria trays!

Via::SF Gate, "Army to Turn Trash Into Power in Iraq" Image credit::Defense Link, Photo Archive, "U.S. Air Force airmen, assigned to the 62nd Aircraft Maintenance Squadron, work together pushing an 86 diesel generator in place at McChord Air Force Base, Wash., Jan. 24, 2006..." (excerpted)

Indonesian religious leaders issue 'fatwa' against killing endangered species

CC BY 2.0 Flickr

Here's a first for Indonesia, a country of around 240 million people with big environmental issues. The Ulema council, a group of religious scholars and leaders, has declared a 'fatwa' (opinion on muslim law) against the killing of endangered species. It declares that illegal hunting and wildlife trading is “unethical, immoral and sinful”.

“All activities resulting in wildlife extinction without justifiable religious grounds or legal provisions are haram [forbidden]. These include illegal hunting and trading of endangered animals“, said Asrorun Ni’am Sholeh, secretary of the council’s commission on fatwas.

Not that anything other than secular morals and logic were required to know that protecting threatened species is a good idea, but this can't hurt, especially in a relatively religious country.

Wildlife News writes:

Farmers and plantation workers who would normally not have issue with killing endangered wildlife that impacts on their lives could soon prefer to take action that avoids killing animals encroaching onto their farms and plantations. The order from the muslim council could also result in local fishermen taking more care to protect endangered marine animals such as turtles and sharks.

While orders issued by the muslim council has no legal standing in Indonesia the order does impact on the lives of many devout muslims who live in Indonesia – the world’s most populous Islamic country.

The Fatwa also calls on the Indonesian government to take action to protect endangered wildlife and combat the illegal wildlife trade. That's another way that it could have a positive impact.

As you can see above and below, deforestation is a huge problem in Indonesia, which in turns puts a lot of pressure on many endangered species.

Kubu Lodge

Chobe & the North

Rating: Simple

Kubu Lodge overview

Kubu Lodge is a small, privately owned lodge set on the banks of the Chobe River in Kazungula, just a short drive from Chobe National Park and the border with Zambia.

There are just 11 en-suite chalets, all set on raised platforms and many are under the shade of giant ebony and wild fig trees, with views of the Chobe River.

From Kubu Lodge you'll take game drives and boat cruises in Chobe National Park to view the abundant wildlife, including the famous Chobe elephants, sable antelope, buffalo, lions, antelopes and other plains game. There is a 2 kilometre nature trail in the lodge grounds, which you can explore at your leisure, maybe catching sight of mongoose and bushbuck.

The lodge can arrange an evening sundowner cruise to the confluence of the Chobe and Zambezi Rivers, an experience not to be missed. Victoria Falls is just an hour's drive away and can be visited as a day trip from the lodge.

Kubu is a good value, comfortable lodge which, whilst not luxury, is a welcoming small lodge to base yourself in this Chobe region.

Open: Kubu Lodge is losed in February.

Location: In Kazungula near Kasane and Chobe National Park, and close to the border river crossing to Zambia.

Rooms: The 11 chalets all have en-suite bathrooms with shower, flush toilet and hand basin. The ceiling fans help keep the thatched chalets cool during the day. Other room facilities include tea and coffee making facilities, mosquito nets and hairdryers. The chalets available are: 3 double bed chalets including single bed, 2 double bed chalets, 4 triple/twin Chalets (3 twin beds), 1 twin chalet (2 twin beds), 1 quad chalet (2 twin beds and 1 bunk bed for children 4 to 11yrs).

Activities: Kubu is a great base from which to explore Chobe National Park on game drives and boat safaris. There is a short nature trail within the lodge grounds. Victoria Falls is just an hour's drive away over the border. A sunset river cruise is a lovely way to spend an evening here. Note: No activities are included in the price other than the nature trail.

Facilities: There is a swimming pool, a gift shop selling souvenirs, and a library.

Dining: The restaurant serves food that is a fusion of Africa and European styles. It has an elevated position with good views of the river. Meals can be taken inside or out on the wooden terrace. There is also a private boma for quiet, romantic and celebration dinners.

Children: Children are welcome.

Health: This is a malarial area.

Communication: Mobile signals tend to be quite good here.

"Feels like it's resting on its laurels a bit. Charging for soft drinks etc... a bit unnecessary (just up the price to accommodate that if needed). Guide on first afternoon there was lousy. Drove like my grandmother and she's been dead for a while now! We saw a couple of other places from the river and one from inside and all looked more appealing. Food decidedly average."

Set in the heart of the pretty village of Parcay-les-Pins, this delightful cottage has been sympathetically renovated to a very high standard. The owners have retained all the beautiful features of this cottage - golden beams throughout and traditional fireplaces downstairs have been complemented with French furniture and decor.

This deceptively spacious cottage sleeps 4/6 people plus baby. On the ground floor there is a very pretty lounge, a stunning dining room and a fully fitted kitchen. On the first floor there are two bedrooms, both with their own en-suite facilities. There is a cot and highchair available if needed and fresh linen and towels are provided free of charge.

About the neighbourhood
Padstow has a lovely small harbour and pretty houses and streets lovely for a stroll or crabbing whilst eating a Rick Stein pasty. There are great walks either around Padstow or across the ferry Â£3 return to Rock. The house is the perfect location for off-peak breaks and has been enjoyed by groups wanting to enjoy walking the SW coastal path and the house is actually on the start of the Saints' Way.

Try surfing, sailing, waterskiing, diving, kayaking or coasteering nearby. The Camel trail is only 200m away, where bikes can be hired to cycle into Wadebridge, Bodmin or Camelford. Further a field is the Eden Project 15 miles or the Lost Gardens of Helligan 17 miles. Why not try St Ives, the Minnack Theatre or Crealys for the kids which is just 3 miles away.

Playa Coronado, Cocle Province
Playa Coronado has some of the most beautiful beaches in the world. This small, gated community is the traditional 'weekend getaway' for the 'rich and famous' of Panama and is home to gorgeous mansions, golf and equestrian clubs, two shopping malls, two modern 24 hour supermarkets, a hospital, church, and stores and restaurants. It is 100 km by highway from Panama City - about an 80 minute drive.
Coronado Bay is a 23 story luxury building from Empressa Bern (joining the Intercontinental Miramar and other luxury resorts) just opened in 2010. The bottom 7 stories make up Solarium, a former hotel and now studio apartments. The upper floors are luxury condos some of which are available for rental.
The building is right on the beach- miles of lovely, soft, natural mixed black and white sand beach. There are two infinity pools...

Back to school: A partnership between industry and academia is essential for future UK growth

Thinking about the new academic year beginning in September, from those starting school for the first time to the individuals in the higher academic university research arenas, it’s time to refresh and renew the approach as the next tranche of bright new people and ideas enter the academic world.

Looking at the skills and technology that our company needs to develop and build for the future, these are in the areas where the UK is traditionally strong, although needs to maintain a competitive edge to move forward. From addressing skills shortages in STEM (science, technology, engineering and maths) subjects, to increasing female presence in the engineering and technical domain and supporting the new and growing sectors, such as cyber security.

Earlier this year, two key documents were issued that form a great backdrop to this topic. These underpin the approach that must be embraced to develop and maintain the UK as an academic and industrial centre of excellence for the future, as the world develops into a more competitive, complex and diverse environment.

The Government’s Industrial Strategy and Engineering UK’s State of Engineering report both look at what is needed to strengthen the UK for future success. The key themes resonate and align with the aspects we appreciate at TRL, from current in progress engagements to the planning being undertaken to harness and support the future. So whether you are entering academia, or returning to industry after a nice summer break, here are some thoughts and considerations for your reflection to ensure we have a fruitful academic/industry partnership that builds a great UK future.

Strategy: Business and academia alike must have a strategy to provide long term planning and clear direction for activity execution and remaining relevant. For academia they must have an industry/business thread, for example, for a school how they will align topics to the future workplace and world, and for business an academic one, that is, the skills and research from universities to supplement the growth. The three salient pillars from the industry strategy that play a significant part are:

  • ‘Investing in science, research and innovation’,
  • ‘Developing skills’
  • ‘Cultivating world-leading sectors’.

These outline a number of areas where our participation will be strong, from the future Industrial Challenge Strategy Fund, to supporting joint research, to the collaboration approach to facilitate long-term investment in embryonic endeavours.

TRL’s academic thread interlinks through business, technology, skills and market aspects including taking an academic and wider community benefit perspective to ensure appropriate support. In refining our strategy for the next steps more focus will be placed on a smaller number of strands for each of the short, medium and long-term to ensure real advantage is gained and that our efforts are not diluted.

Goals and benefits: This is one of the easiest arenas within which to define the goals and benefits! With an extensive list we must ensure clear focus on those that give the most benefit. The goals for business and academia are effectively opposite sides of the same coin as both benefit from a joint approach, for example university research that provides both with growth and market position opportunities.

The key benefits range from new talent growth from schools to deliver the future needs of businesses, through expert involvement to develop students, and a wider team providing facilities and support for the community. TRL invests in these avenues keeping them under regular review to ensure our efforts align with our strategy.

A clear benefit example is our university industry advisory panel which allows shaping of the curriculum to best support industry and give universities an improved selling point. With a faster changing world, relevance re-checking to the specific goals and benefits is increasingly important to ensure an efficient and effective approach. This is a clear text book ‘win-win’… we just have to ensure the correct focus at all times.

Engagement: Like most beneficial relationships they take effort! Business and academia must ensure they check each other’s drivers to ensure the relationship model appropriately suits both parties. To give an example, with TRL’s research engagement with The University of Birmingham, Richard Fox (Business Engagement Partner) appreciates the industry pace and is gently pushy with good information on how best to work together making my interaction easier (and I aim to reciprocate with more flexible support for joint endeavours that align with university activity).

Importantly, creating an environment of increased collaboration allows better understanding. TRL is part of the National Cyber Security Centre’s (NCSC) CyberInvest scheme, where universities and industry collectively engage to investigate mutually beneficial areas to move forward addressing the cyber security agenda. This is a clear collaboration gain in bringing the right wider community together for greater benefit. Early and continued engagement on focussed endeavours is key and you must be honest to address things that aren’t working.

Innovation: This is the lifeblood for growth, from appreciating and fostering it within schools to undertaking and commercialising within universities and industry.  Business must be supporting innovation in schools and partnering on innovation with universities. A couple of key TRL examples are:

  • The Engineering Education Scheme in local schools where STEM diversity is emphasised through male and female engineering and project management specialists supporting students
    Innovation sessions with universities to give different perspectives with other dimensions from customer and industry perspectives. These foster a creative and challenging innovation environment that is core and must be built into the culture.

  • Learning from our recent experiences, we will be taking a stronger leadership and communication approach across the community to ensure improved momentum and cultural transformation occurs so we can play our part in embedding innovation in a growing positive manner as a priority for the future.

Talent: Nurturing and growing future talent is paramount. This must embrace the diversity of new world capabilities as well as strengthening core skills to deliver success for the UK in this ever more competitive world. Key skills are in short supply and are expected in growing demand for the future. A number of TRL’s engagements that support this have been covered earlier in this article to which I’ll add two aspects.

First, more emphasis is required on the softer side skills such as leadership, emotional intelligence and good behaviour sets, all of which form part of the skill set required for the future business professionals.

The second is provision of an excellent talent creation environment linked to careers. Here, TRL supports a number of avenues through wider collaboration as part of the NCSC’s CyberFirst scheme to deepen involvement in our key subject areas and our award winning ‘Cerebrum’ development programme to challenge and mentor the graduate, industrial placement and apprenticeship community.

The improvements we are making following our initial years’ undertaking are to strengthen the mentoring arrangement to provide better advice and engagement and  an approach change to enable earlier, value-added, real world experiences to accelerate effectiveness.

There are a great deal of challenges in creating successful academia and industry partnerships and the aspects I have highlighted above are crucial parts. What is for sure is that we must keep learning and changing to deliver a strong and growing UK future, of which an enduring academic and industry relationship is an essential foundation.

Effective collaboration is key. Hopefully your enjoyed my thoughts and I always appreciate feedback and comment.

Tim Hadfield is part of TRL’s senior management team leading on the company’s links between academia and industry.

5 Great Sites to Improve Your Music Reading Skills on Guitar

Music reading skills and sightreading are a fundamental skill for all guitarists/musicians nowadays. Not only it is necessary to have a deeper understanding of your instrument, but it is a great way to share your music, and get good paying gigs (trust me, there aren't may well rounded guitarists out there that can sightread very well nowaday). These are five great resource sites that will help you with your music notation reading skills.

1. Practicesightreading.com

this is a great site where you can automatically generate measures of rhythm, in different levels. I feel this is a fantastic tool to challenge yourself, regardless of your level.

2. Fretboard note finder

this is a great little page where you can find out where the notes are on a guitar tuned in standard tuning. When you click on a fret they show up on the upper right corner of the screen in standard notation.

3. Statens Musik Bibliotek

A collection of music pieces from the music Library of Sweden. The only way to improve your reading and sightreading skills is to read new material every day.

4. International Music Score Library Project

Same as above…more scores!

5. On sightreading music for guitar players

A fun articles about sightreading and why learning traditional notation is more important than tabs.

The Green Hornet

From the trailers, this comic book movie adaptation looked full of 3D promise. But it turns out to be yet another disappointment. It’s another film that was shot in 2D and converted into 3D, and this is apparent in lots of rather clumsy staging, which often fails to convey a believable sense of space and also sometimes gives undue emphasis to completely arbitrary, unimportant objects in the frame. The picture also tends to look unusually dark on active 3D TVs.

The only things about this hugely average film that work really well in 3D, in fact, are the scenes showing Kato getting his martial arts mojo on, and the film’s terrific credits sequence.

Sony XF85

  • Attractive, minimalistic design
  • Bright, colourful pictures
  • Good sound quality

  • Poor black level performance
  • Android TV is sluggish and poorly organised
  • Unpleasant remote control

Key Features

  • Review Price: £1399
  • 55-inch LCD TV with edge LED lighting
  • Native 4K resolution
  • HLG and HDR10 HDR support
  • Sony's X1 processing
  • Android TV operating system

What is the Sony XF85?

The Sony XF85 sits just below the excellent Sony XF90 we saw earlier this year. It doesn’t have as strong specs, but it is more affordable. The 55-inch Sony KD-55XF8505 tested here costs £1399. This makes it a potentially enticing option for AV fans attracted by Sony’s impressive TV picture processing but can’t afford to step up to the excellent XF90.

A couple of bad decisions on Sony’s part make the XF85 impossible to recommend, however.

Related: Sony TVs 2018

Sony XF85

Sony XF85 (Sony KD-55XF8505) – Design and build

The XF85 is pretty cute. The frame around the screen is trim, understated, and fairly robust despite being made of plastic rather than metal. The angular feet under each bottom corner are fun rather than comical, unlike the Sony KD-65XF9005’s ‘clown feet’. Channels inside them do a great job of hiding all your cabling.

Just bear in mind that the feet positioning means you’ll need a pretty wide base to rest the screen on. Assuming you’re not wall hanging it, of course.

The Sony XF85 ships with a typical Sony remote control, which sadly means that it’s old-fashioned, plasticky, cluttered and badly organised. It’s nearly impossible to use in a dark room, too, and can even make your finger sore. Ouch.

Sony XF85 (Sony KD-55XF8505) – Features

Inevitably Sony has had to cut things back from the XF90 series to hit the XF85’s price point. Unfortunately, some of those cut backs have had a massively detrimental effect.

Particularly troubling is the Sony XF85’s use of an IPS LCD panel in place of the XF90’s VA panel. Why is this a problem? Because IPS panels have traditionally failed to deliver convincing black levels, especially with HDR sources.

Underscoring my concerns about the IPS panel is the XF85’s use of edge LED lighting. Putting lights around a screen’s edges reduces the extent to which it can control how light is used in different parts of the picture. Particularly when, as is the case with the XF85, there’s no local dimming system in play.

It  also takes a big step back with its brightness. Its measured light output of 510 nits on a 10% white HDR window falls way short of the 1000 nits delivered by the step up XF90. This will inevitably put a limit on how much impact it can deliver from HDR sources.Sony XF85
The XF85’s brain is one of Sony’s X1 processors, rather than the brand’s more powerful X1 Extreme variant. This means there’s around 40% less power available for processing pictures. It doesn’t carry the twin database engine for upscaling sub-4K images you get with X1 Extreme models and Dolby Vision support is absent. It just isn’t powerful enough to run the software version of Dolby’s premium HDR format. This leaves you with support for the HLG and industry standard HDR10 formats.

Inevitably, if depressingly, the XF85 continues Sony’s love affair with Android TV. To be fair, Android TV does support Chromecast out of the box, as well as Alexa and Google Assistant control. Plus it carries a huge amount of apps. The vast majority of these apps are just clutter and distraction, though. They also aren’t handled well by Android’s irritatingly full and poorly organised home screen.

Android still doesn’t support enough customisation either, and worst of all it’s buggy and sometimes painfully slow. The latter problem extends to the TV’s settings menus. On numerous occasions, selecting ‘Picture’ from the home settings menu list resulted in a delay of nearly five seconds before the Picture menus appeared.Sony XF85
The XF85 does at least support most of the big video streaming services. Netflix, Amazon and YouTube are all there – in HDR as well as 4K. Plus Sony has added the YouView platform to circumvent Android’s issues with covering the UK’s terrestrial broadcaster catch-up services.

Connections on the XF85’s rear are solid enough for its money. All four HDMIs can handle 4K HDR, though only two can handle full colour bandwidth 4K HDR at 60 frames a second.

Its three USB ports, meanwhile, is on a par with what you get with most well-specced TVs these days. Plus, inevitably there are Wi-Fi and Ethernet network options. These support multimedia streaming from networked devices as well as online access.

Sony XF85 (Sony KD-55XF8505) – Performance

While the XF85 shows signs of Sony’s picture know-how, you often have to look hard to spot them. Sadly it’s far easier to see what Sony’s TV makes a mess of, namely black levels and contrast. After testing a run of contrast-rich OLED and high-end LCD TVs, the XF85’s black level failings hit me like a hammer.

A pall of low-contrast greyness hangs so heavily over dark scenes that it’s pretty much all you see. Especially if you’re watching an HDR source. In fact, even during mixed brightness shots, the greyness over the dark bits still dominates.

There’s really no settings-based solution to the 55XF8505’s black level woes. The IPS panel’s core contrast performance is just too poor to work round in any effective way.Sony XF85
The grey wash over anything dark also impacts deep colours, which end up looking washed out and unconvincing. Shadow detailing all too often gets lost in the XF85’s ‘mist’.

If you force yourself to see past the Sony XF85’s dark scene woes, you might see that motion looks clean and crisp. This helps native 4K pictures remain unusually detailed and sharp for the XF85’s price. There’s also some impressively polished colour management. During bright scenes, the subtle toning is combined with bold saturations.

The picture sometimes looks brighter than you’d expect from a measured brightness output of 510 nits. With the Standard picture preset, bright and mid-bright HDR pictures look can look genuinely punchy. The typical brightness level is quite high, and HDR light peaks are passably bold. That said, the inadequate black levels still leave the XF85’s HDR dynamics feeling depressingly ‘compressed’ versus the best HDR TVs.

The TV is great for its money at upscaling HD content, even without the superior X1 Extreme chip’s dual database upscaling engine. HD pictures look significantly sharper and more detailed once they’ve been through the upscaling engine. Even better, the upscaling does a great job of removing any noise a sub-4K source might contain.Sony XF85
The relatively restrained brightness of standard dynamic range images don’t expose the XF85’s black level limitations as brutally as HDR. Watching the TV in a bright room can also mitigate the set’s contrast woes to some extent.

In the end, though, nothing the XF85 can do stops its back level failure from being the dominant feature of your viewing experience.

While the XF85 is a substandard picture performer, its sound is actually pretty good. Its bodywork is sturdy enough to support plenty of volume before any harshness or distortion sets in. The speakers disperse the sound far and wide across your room without the sound becoming messy or artificial. Details are plentiful and clear, and vocals sound authentic, open and well contextualised.

As with almost all built-in TV sound systems, a bit more bass depth would have been nice to hear. Though to be fair, the XF85’s mid-range is open enough to ensure things seldom sound harsh or thin.

Sony XF85

Sony XF85 (Sony KD-55XF8505) – Settings

The XF85’s pictures sadly suffer with problems you can’t solve with any of the provided setting options. The only thing that makes any significant difference is the Active Contrast feature. Without this on, the TV’s black levels with High Dynamic Range sources are unbearably bad.

You can try switching between the TV’s Standard and Cinema presets to tackle its contrast shortcomings too, if you like. But for me this just makes the picture look either a bit too blue or a bit too red respectively.

Make sure you remember to activate the Game preset when playing video games. This reduces the screen’s response time from nearly 100ms to around 30ms. Easily enough to be the difference between life and death in Call Of Duty.

Finally, I’d recommend using Sony’s MotionFlow processing on Standard or True Cinema to reduce judder without the picture starting to look unnatural.

Sony XF85

Why buy the Sony XF85?

If you like watching films – especially in a darkened room – the Sony XF85 is definitely not for you. This counts double if you’d like to watch those films (or TV shows) in HDR. The TV simply does not have the black level performance to satisfy such use.

If you’re after a set to go into a permanently bright room and expect it to only get very casual use, then maybe the 55XF8505 could do the job. Otherwise you’re better off saving a bit and going for the Sony XF90 – the 55-inch Sony KD-55XF9005 costs £300 more and is a lot better.
