Abstract: Time for a 2012 Sony HDTV to pass through our test room! Today we’re reviewing the 55-inch version of the Bravia HX853 series, which is the Japanese manufacturer’s highest-specced LED LCD TV for 2012. The Sony KDL-55HX853 is an edge-lit LCD display, an...
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: 153 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...
Outstanding picture quality, Superb value for money, Excellent online service

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...
Rich colours and stunning contrast levels; Great motion processing; Impressive 3D performance; Good line-up of video-on-demand services
Styling won't be to everyone's taste; Refuses to stream common digital video formats; Menu system could be more straightforward
The 55-inch Sony 55HX853 is the best TV from Sony in a long time. It produces gorgeous pictures in both 2D and 3D, has impressive sound quality and a very strong line-up of video-on-demand services. The styling will split opinions and its inability to ...
