Very good 2D picture. Reasonably good 3D. Good network content. Good tablet/phone control feature
At an MSRP of $2,600—as I write this, it's on sale for less on Sony's own Website, although such offers are fluid—the KDL-55HX850 isn't exactly a steal. But when you consider its superb black level, crisp color, and near-reference-quality 3D, you'd have ...
Abstract: This upgrade feature in the KDL-55HX850 creates the 960Hz frame rate effect by manipulating the backlight through the local dimming mechanisms in the backlight. This is processed and achieved by the local dimming of hundreds of zones in the TV. This...

Attractively designed. Excellent image detail. Wide viewing angles. Accurate colors. Energy efficient.
Pricey, and 3D glasses not included. Low contrast ratio
Sony's Bravia HX850 series is a gorgeous but pricey HDTV line offering LED backlighting, 3D support, Web features galore, and accurate out-of-the-box color—if only the contrast ratio were higher....
When all is said and done, the 55HX850 (MSRP $2,600) proves that Sony still knows a thing or two about crafting TVs.There are plenty of good reasons to consider checking this Sony out, chief among them the TV’s picture quality. The 55HX850 has a super...

The Sony KDL-HX850 delivers excellent picture quality for an LCD, with deep blacks and plenty of detail in shadows. Blooming was minimal, and both uniformity and viewing angle were very good. The Gorilla Glass front adds both toughness and good looks
The HX850 is expensive compared with like-performing plasmas, and color tended somewhat toward blue
The Sony HX850 is a smart-looking Smart TV with sparkling picture quality, making it a front-runner for plasma-phobic videophiles.
Sony has created an elegant TV with their Monolithic approach. The TV is minimalistic, clean and without any visible joints. HX850 is the first Google TV ready model but until Sony's Google TV boxes arrive we only Sony's Bravia Internet Video platform is...
Abstract: Like the similar KDL-40HX753, the Sony Bravia KDL-40HX853 comes with a stand that angles the set slightly backwards. In this case, though, it's much broader and chunkier as it not only supports the TV but also contains speakers. Sadly these speakers do...
There's no nasty surprise here: the KDL-46HX853 completes a trilogy of class-leading HX8 models, cementing the Bravia HX853′s reputation as the go-to LED TV lineup for the year 2012. Following Panasonic's decision not to release any 46-inch Viera plasmas...
Rich colours and stunning contrast levels; Great motion processing; Impressive 3D performance; Good line-up of Internet video-on-demand services
No 3D glasses in box; lack of support for some common video file formats; design won't appeal to all
Thanks to its superb 2D and 3D picture quality, great sound and top-notch support for online TV services, the Sony 40HX853 is a great all-round package. There are a few niggles -- not everyone will like the design and support for video files could be b...
