You can check that in that info area, bottom right icon.

Thank for your suggestion. How do I get to the icon you mention? Which menu

Thought those were from 2014 and don't have Android at all!?

I can run apps like browser and also install apps from a Sony list of apps - eg AccuWeather etc.

So I assumed it has Android, this is why I was trying to find out the version no.

How can I find outout if it has Android and if so what version?

Unfortunately you do not have an Android based TV - the KDL-50W815B is a 2014 model TV of which Sony's Android based TVs came out from 2015 onwards.

You can tell simply - if you press the home button on your remote control, an Android TV looks like this:

Your TV will look much like this:
