HDTV Sony BRAVIA KDL55HX850 Deals & Reviews

Nick (New York): That's about all there is to change. Best LED TV I've ever seen and that includes the XBRs. (I realize that this TV is a 2012 model and the XBR is a 2011 model). I am sure the 2012 XBR will be spectacular, but as of now this is the best LED TV on the market with black levels approaching the very best of the plasmas with much, much better light transmission through the glass rather than diffused through a typical LCD panel.

H. Batra "aks316" (New York): After much researching, comparing, and waiting, we finally got our LED TV. After the very first initial setup of the TV, the custom picture settings were not accessible (greyed out) so I had to reset the TV to its factory condition and run the setup again. This time all options were accessible. So far, we are very pleased with the TV. Of course, only time will tell how reliable it is; but it is great at the moment. The delivery was fast and as scheduled (Amazon had an option to schedule a delivery on a certain day and at a certain time). I was concerned about possible reflections (it is glass after all) but that is not an issue at all. So far we have not noticed any motion blur like on older LED TVs. Overall - very pleased.

A. Zarusski (Dallas, USA): We bought it on 11/12/12, it was delivered on 11/20/12..The company unpacked it and removed all the packing and hooked it up. That part was wonderful. We had to sign a form stated everything was ok. Then 2 weeks later a green spot appeared on the screen and then yesterday a red dot appeared. We contacted sony and are waiting to find out what will happen from here. Our tv is less than a month old. I am disappointed with sony.

Bob Loblaw (nashville): got the hx850 after first purchasing a samsung es6100. I was used to a 5 year old sony xbr lcd tv, so i had thought that whatever new set i bought would exceed the picture of my old set. Not so-the samsung was a big step down in both picture and build quality. I eventually returned the samsung and got this hx850 sony. For those that care primarily about the best picture, and also dont want to go with a plasma, this is as good as it gets. I checked cnet and they agree, that this set is the best led set on the market. I cant comment on the 3d or the internet features since i dont use those, but the build quality is excellent, it has plenty of recessed hdmi inputs, and the picture is stunning.
