Beautiful picture with excellent colors and the blackest blacks. Plenty of connection options. Simple design exudes grace and poise. Builtin WiFi
Watch YouTube
Netflix
Hulu and Sony's own Hollywood offerings without an external box
Attractively designed. Excellent image detail. Wide viewing angles. Accurate colors. Energy efficient.
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 editors didn't like
Menus are a mess
Remote is meh
And configuration requires Ring TFM. Internet options (Yahoo widgets!) aren't easy to navigate
But at least the remote has a dedicated Netflix button. 3D glasses sold separately. It does Skype
But the camera is sold sepa
Pricey
And 3D glasses not included. Low contrast ratio
The HX850 is expensive compared with like-performing plasmas
High contrast, Accurate colours: average Delta E = 2.3, Effective Motionflow XR 800 Hz function, Great 3D picture quality (hardly any crosstalk), Low power use: 80 watts, Wider than average viewing angles
Glossy screen, The model we tested had some clouding issues, No 3D glasses included, Media player not compatible with many file formats
The Sony Bravia HX853 delivers excellent picture quality in 2D and 3D, with high contrast, accurate colours, a near-perfect gamma and great responsiveness. However, even though the dynamic backlighting improves clouding (light patches leaking through i...

The 46HX853 is an absolutely stunning LED set that truly lives up to its flagship status. That's primarily due to its extraordinary picture quality, with the sort of black depth, colour vibrancy and sharpness that you don't always get from LED sets. The ...
In some respects, this next-gen Sony is not significantly different from the models launched during 2011. It offers from the same mediocre multimedia file support and suffers from crosstalk-addled 3D. But the brand has made a big step forward when it...

Impressive black levels and contrast, Very good uniformity, Excellent colour reproduction out-of-the-box, Reference colour and greyscale post-calibration, Picture processing is of a very high standard, Beautiful design, as ever, Extremely competitive pric
Speaker stand may put some off, Some noise in dark areas of the picture, Edge lighting can get caught out near the perimeters of screen, Occasional banding and DSE witnessed, Fractured feeling to feature set, 3D Glasses are still not good, Viewing angles
There were certainly some harsh words dished out for Sony when it came to providing the 3D experience, in respect to the older Bravia's, and rightly so. They just didn't get it quite right and through a mixture of parallax and crosstalk issues they just c...

Elegant design, Awesome 2D picture quality, Good online content, Excellent value
A little crosstalk with 3D, A few operating issues, SEN loads slowly, Very rare backlight 'blocking'
There really isn't any overstating the potential importance of the KDL-46HX853 to Sony right now. For in one single leap its stunning picture performance takes the struggling Japanese giant from near-zero to all-conquering hero - an achievement made all ...
Superb picture processor, Stunning visuals, Supports 3D content very well
Too expensive
Having an insight into Sony KDL-55HX850 BRAVIA Full HD 3D TV Review, you will realize this is highly a sophisticated Led television with many new-generation features. It is convincing both from performance and design point of view. However, we would like ...

At $2100 and $2600 (for the 46-inch and 55-inch models, respectively) the HX850 is on par with its LED competition in terms of price—its certainly more affordable than Panasonics WT50 —while producing a picture that can compete with plasmas like Pannys...
