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...
Picture exhibits very good sharpness and detail; excellent built-in speakers; impressive selection of internet sources; built-in help menus
Difficult to access some ports; poorly designed remote control, $2,299.00

At $2299 and $3499 (for the 46-inch and 55-inch models, respectively) the HX850 is on par with its LED competition in terms of price — it's certainly more affordable than Panasonic's WT50 — while producing a picture that can compete with plasmas like Pann...
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 ...
Excellent HD picture quality, Accurate preset colour modes, Excellent colour and contrast after adjustment
Remote feels cheap, Interface looks dated, App support is an afterthought
Sony's new HX850 has good picture quality for its price, performing better than similarly-priced LG and Samsung models in its default and calibrated settings. Apart from some minor issues with detail in dark areas, the HX850 handles both standard and HD v...
