Movies consist of 24 images per second, and cannot be faithfully reproduced on conventional televisions, resulting in unnatural, jerky movements.

Edge LED-backlit HDTVs are also more environmentally friendly as they consume less power than conventional LCD televisions and contain no mercury. The Deep Black Panel also provides incredible contrast and minimized reflections. Finally, the BRAVIA Engine 3 video processor produces superior, life-like image with amazing contrast and color.

This review is from: Sony BRAVIA KDL55HX800 55-Inch 1080p 240 Hz 3D-Ready LED HDTV, Black (Electronics)

I bought this TV ( Sony KDL55HX800 ) at Fry's Electronic last month when they have a good promotion. It is perfect. Clear, sharp, deep black... You name it. I am really enjoyable this TV. Somebody like to buy Samsung TV, because it is cheaper. But I think Sony Company is the one that make the best TV in the world. You can pay a little bit more money than other brand, but you live in happy life. Trust me.

Bought Sony BRAVIA KDL55HX800 TV 3 weeks back. It has excellent picture quality, excellent sound quality, contrasts are better than Any Samsung on the market at the time of this review (is it better than LG full backlit LED TVs with local dimming ? well unsure of that, because full backlit LG TV's picture looks marvellous as well in the store, but the customer reviews on LG backlit LED TV point out to the banding issue due to the local dimming feature, poor sound quality - come on no one can beat a sony when it comes to sound in TVs!, and the LG TV's super glossy screen makes it difficult to watch TV because the light sources in the room cause screen glare). The 2D picture is crisp, have'nt tried 3D yet. The 240Hz refresh rate is great when watching fast actions on screen (but it does reduce the brightness considerably on that setting). All in all a good buy and an excellent edge-lit LED TV. 


One of the Best Edge Lit LED Panels of 2010

In a world of so many options for LED LCD TV's, I can say that this is an excellent choice. I sold my Pioneer Elite plasma due to the flicker, and was looking for a CCFL backlit LCD, but was not impressed with the selection this year (wanted CCFL backlit as I own a Samsung 46B750 LCD from 2009, and the picture is spectacular). You will often see reviews of edge lit LED's state issues with clouding or flashlighting and uneven backlighting. The HX800 has a very uniform backlight with no issues seen with other manufacturers. I would recommend, however, to purchase the panel from somewhere like Amazon with a liberal return policy because you don't want to get stuck with a panel that does have issues. For the price, this is an excellent panel with accurate colors, very good black levels and shadow detail, and excellent motion handling. Before buying this panel I had bought the LG 55LX9500 full array LED local dimming set and was disappointed with the banding and uneven backlighting. Overall, the HX800 is a great panel.
