    Grid issue in Game mode

    The Sony W800C has a very interesting issue when displaying an alternating pixel pattern under Game or Graphics mode. In the pictures below, you can see that notepad affects the colors in the pink area (which is an alternating pink/black pixel grid).

    Sony W800C Issue Game Mode

    Almost every LCD TV has this issue, but you usually can't perceive it. With this Sony W800C though, it is really noticeable. This is nothing to worry about, because it is very rare that you will display a pattern exhibiting this issue, even when using it as a PC monitor.

    Clearness

    Like the Sony X850C, the W800C has the Motionflow setting with a Clearness slider to control the backlight. The more you increase it, the clearer the picture becomes, but at the cost of flickering and a darker picture.
