It Is A Whole New Vision With The Sony 55HX800

By Pholaro Khuloab


When the Sony 55HX800 Bravia KDL was unveiled, many firsts were unveiled that pushed new age TV technology to a whole new level. This 3D HDTV, with a 55-inch screen embodies the very latest in TV innovations. One of its features is LED backlighting enabled by what is called Dynamic Edge and another is a lighting fast refresh rate of 240Hz that makes for stunning 2D pictures.

This TV would also take the crown in the beauty and glamor stakes. It boasts fluid lines and a shiny ebony-colored bezel. To the right are controls for the Input Source, Channel, Volume and Power. Also located here is a Menu or Home button for turning power on and off rather than using the TV remote control or the one on the TV itself.

The left has two HBMI jacks, a single USP port and composite A/V ports. The majority of I/O ports are positioned at the back along with a 3D sync connector. This connector is for connecting to a 3D transmitter, component A/V ports, an Ethernet port, coaxial TV and PC/VGA connectors, an input for PC audio and optical audio outputs.

The remote control is a novel one, with its 8.6 concave face and black matt finish. It has 43 buttons and a 4-way rocker. It can be used without having to look at it as the frequently used buttons are well positioned. You can also switch from 2D to 3D mode with a dedicated button. Presetting the TV to video options such as a cinema, sports, game and others is also possible as well going from Vivid, Custom and Standard video modes.

There are some great web applications you can enjoy as well. You will have 30 video channels to choose from as well as news channels, lifestyle channels and those that are dedicated to music and photos such as Picasa, Photobucket and Shutterfly.

Web applications are also included on this TV. There are as many as 30 video channels such as Amazon on Demand, FIFA World Cup Collection, Yahoo movies just to mention a few. You also get news channels, lifestyle channels, all-music channels and photo channels like Photobucket, Picasa and Shutterfly. 3D viewing accessories like active shutter 3D glasses among others are also available separately. All things considered, the Sony 55HX800, is a cutting edge forward-looking 3D HDTV that hoists the Sony brand even higher up.
