Overview Reviews Details Accessories Articles & Videos by Steve Kindig One of Sony's best-performing TVs for 2012 The KDL-55HX850 combines Sony's advanced screen technology and most powerful video processing, for breathtaking picture quality in 3D or 2D. Even if you're not that excited about 3D right now, the KDL-55HX850 is worth considering because it's a fantastic TV for 2D, too. And whenever you want to try out the 3D-at-home experience, just pick up a pair or two of Sony's 3D glasses. Watching more on the web More and more people these days are turning to the web for day-to-day viewing, so a TV's Internet smarts are important. The KDL-55HX850 includes built-in apps for accessing the Sony Entertainment Network, home to thousands of movies, shows, games and more. You can also stream movies instantly from Netflix® or listen to Pandora® Internet radio through the TV. Built-in Wi-Fi® lets you enjoy entertainment pulled from the web or a PC on your home network without connecting an Ethernet cable. Wirelessly streamed HD video can look surprisingly good. Picture quality is still Sony's #1 priority Sony's "Dynamic Edge" edge-lit LED backlight system essentially divides the screen into regions, each of which can be dimmed independently. This is a form of "local dimming," and it provides excellent picture contrast with black levels that get really black. As a bonus, this smart LED backlight is super energy-efficient, for minimal impact on your electric bill. The unique panel design features lightweight, super-durable Gorilla® Glass a Sony exclusive. This screen design boosts picture brightness and contrast while reducing unwanted reflections. Motion processing helps LCD TVs maintain a smooth, sharp picture even when the on-screen action shifts into high gear. Sony's Motionflow XR 960 reduces the blur and judder that can smear high-speed movement. It combines 240Hz refresh rate with a high-speed blinking backlight, achieving blur reduction that is equivalent to what you'd see with a 960Hz refresh rate. The enhanced clarity is noticeable whether you're watching video in 2D or 3D. A few of this TV's cool new tricks In addition to standard Wi-Fi operation, Sony's Wi-Fi Direct Mode completely bypasses your wireless router. The next time your friends want to share photos or videos from their smartphones, they can wirelessly "throw" the content straight to this TV. Also, if you download the free Media Remote app you can turn your iPhone®, Android phone or Sony Tablet into a versatile remote. And check this out: If you're watching a movie, TV show or commercial and hear a song you like, you can touch the TrackID® button on the remote and get the song title and artist instantly.

Excellent connectivity. What else could you ask for? 2 out of 2 people found this helpful Was this review helpful? Yes No Amazing LED/LCD Written By Lex B, Lexington, KY on Thursday, November 01, 2012 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) This TV is everything it was touted to be and more. The picture is bright and crisp. Set it up in 15 minutes from box to watching HD from my cable box. We love this TV. Pros: Picture quality, ease of setup, great interactive features. Cons: The built in speakers are adequate. 4 out of 4 people found this helpful Was this review helpful? Yes No Best TV's available... Written By AVG, Norwalk, CT on Sunday, October 14, 2012 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) it's as if Apple made this TV... everything is top notch, from build quality, to features, to design... beautiful image, you will not be dissapointed... Cons: none 3 out of 5 people found this helpful Was this review helpful? Yes No Sony KDL-55HX850 Written By DavidM, Glastonbury, Ct on Wednesday, September 26, 2012 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) Easy setup. Great picture with crisp, natural detail. Has a more natural picture than many of the ultra bright LED sets from Samsung, Sharp etc. 6 out of 6 people found this helpful Was this review helpful? Yes No Picture Perfect Written By Vhern, California on Friday, July 20, 2012 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) TV was supposed to be installed on my wall but my son and I could not wait so we opened the box and placed the TV on its pedestal temporarily. It was so easy to setup with two people. We did not even need a manual to start operating the TV and it worked right off the box. Picture perfect. Colors are vivid especially on HD. Streaming movies on Netflix is so easy. Setting the network is a breeze and very intuitive. Pros: Picture is excellent and easy setup. Cons: The sound is not bad but could be better. That is what you get with limited space. 8 out of 8 people found this helpful Was this review helpful? Yes No Outstanding quality and customer service Written By Jeff, Baltimore, MD on Friday, July 20, 2012 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) The Sony quality is great. Everything went together well and the instructions for connectivity were very clear and straightforward. The packaging was so smartly designed that I alone could unpack and install the TV. Crutchfield's service was beyond expectation. Everything arrived in two days without any expedited shipping request. The carrier used for the TV delivered a pristene box and had to walk it up a steep driveway about 300 feet! Presentable appearance, a call before arriving to be sure we were home, and very curteous manner were all appreciated. I have used Crutchfield every 5 years or so for something but this was by far the most delicate, big shipment ever for me. Pros: Sony design and Quality Crutchfdield customer service Cons: None 9 out of 9 people found this helpful Was this review helpful? Yes No Another Great Purchase Written By Bill, Walden, NY on Sunday, June 24, 2012 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) Only had this TV for a week, but so far no complaints. Upgraded from a Sony 40" LCD that was 7 years old. Huge difference (no pun intended). Hook up was seamless, and as always great Crutchfield support. the free Sony DVD player was an added bonus and plays great with the TV. Pros: Great picture, light weight, 4 HDMI connections, factory settings seem right on the money, easy assembly, built in wireless apps work great. Cons: Would still like an old fashion owners manual, this one has most of manual built into the TV, wish it came with some kind of stabilization that attached from stand to entertainment center. It tends to shake slightly when someone walks by, but not a big deal. 11 out of 11 people found this helpful Was this review helpful? Yes No Great quality TV Written By wv, Bay Area, CA on Thursday, May 31, 2012 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) Took several weeks to review and look at sets from multiple vendors. Was looking for good picture to replace 1st Gen 720p Plasma. Not into 3d viewing or gimmicky add ons - just good picture quality. Great realistic picture with deep blacks and accurate color. Cinema 1 setting and some minor tweaks make this a excellent set that rivals plasma for accuracy. Very fast startup time and good UI and menu control. I took a look at several other models from Samsung and Sony and have to say this was a overall best. The HX750 is OK but the blacks were not as dark and I could see a difference on the refresh rate ghosting. The Samsung sets were another option but I did not like the over-saturated color and extremely bright settings or the gimmicky hand gesture add ons. The color of the HX850 is better IMO. Lastly the Gorilla Glass front and restrained design looked best in a living room setting. Very pleased. Pros: Excellent picture quality, deep black levels, great menu UI, Gorilla Glass. TV weighs significantly less that the smaller plasma screen it replaced. Great support and service from Zac at Crutchfield. Delivery can in a few days (in a HUGE box) without issue. Received credit for free Bluray player afterwards - great service! Cons: Nothing so far, with the remote was universal so i can integrate it with my TiVo Premiere. 30 out of 30 people found this helpful Was this review helpful?

Rather than illuminating the entire screen, lighting is boosted in just the right areas for greater contrast and a more realistic picture. OptiContrast Panel with Corning Gorilla Glass: The Sony Bravia KDL-HX850 series LED-LCD TV combines Sony's OptiContrast Panel with Corning Gorilla Glass for infinite dynamic contrast, increased brightness, and minimized unwanted light reflection - for overall better picture quality. OptiContrast Panel: The Sony Bravia KDL-HX850 series television utilizes OptiContrast panel technology for improved brightness, deeper blacks, less reflection, and overall better picture accuracy. Corning Gorilla Glass: The Sony Bravia KDL-HX850 series TV features an incredibly durable, remarkably lightweight, frameless design with Corning's exclusive Gorilla Glass. By replacing the thin layer of air between the LCD panel and the front glass with a specially-formulated dark resin, reflections are minimized and contrast and brightness are increased. This resin also provides a suitably dark background for producing rich and vibrant pictures, even in a well-lit room, and enhances the Bravia LED-LCD television's Monolithic Design concept by making the television appear to be a seamless black monolith when the screen is switched off. Plus, the Corning Gorilla Glass is used to increase the strength of the screen at a molecular level, while simultaneously enabling it to be thinner and lighter than ever before. X-Reality PRO Engine: Sony's X-Reality PRO Engine lets you enjoy a vivid, lifelike picture experience by analyzing each scene pixel-by-pixel so you see sharpened images, amazing contrast, and fine detail. Blu-ray Disc movies, cable TV, satellite TV, and even Web videos each place unique demands on the processing circuits of a TV. The X-Reality PRO Engine helps get the best results from these different video sources by analyzing texture, outline, contrast, and color reproduction. The X-Reality PRO Engine will then analyze each scene pixel-by-pixel across 3-dimensions (Width, Height, and Time) and uses sophisticated pattern matching to optimize the picture, ensuring you always get the best images possible. Intelligent Image Enhancer: Experience exceptional color contrast and picture accuracy in every frame with the television's Intelligent Image Enhancer. The Intelligent Image Enhancer enhances the details and outlines of the picture while suppressing artifacts. The X-Reality Engine uses the Intelligent Image Enhancer to divide the signal according to four characteristics (Texture, Outline, Contrast, and Color). The circuit divides the picture into these four parts, analyzes the quality of each scene and applies only the processing required for each part. The result is a picture that's carefully optimized for natural image reproduction. Intelligent MPEG Noise Reduction: Dramatically reduces two common problems in compressed video signals - block noise and mosquito noise. The Intelligent "MPEG Noise Reduction" automatically reduces picture noise, such as mosquito noise and/or block noise, in compressed videos. It improves picture quality in Digital broadcast and DVD/BD/HDD players. Reality Creation Pixel Mapping: The television's Reality Creation Pixel Mapping feature adjusts detail and noise for a more realistic picture. Adaptive Noise Reduction: The TV's Adaptive Noise Reduction automatically reduces picture noise. Adaptive Dot Noise Reduction: Adaptive Dot Noise Reduction automatically reduces dot noise around objects on the screen. Video Area Detection: Smooth Gradation: This feature of the X-Reality PRO Engine creates smooth gradations on flat surfaces of the picture. Resolution: The Resolution function adjusts detail and clarity of the picture. Note: The X-Reality Engine performs Interlace-to-Progressive (IP) conversion and upscaling as required. Film-based 24 frames-per-second content undergoes special IP conversion to reduce the "stair-step jaggies" that can form at high-contrast edges. HDTV Tuner: The TV has built-in over-the-air HDTV (ATSC) and Digital Cable (QAM) tuners, so you don't need a separate set-top box to receive and decode over-the-air HDTV/SDTV or unencrypted Digital Cable signals. 1080p Resolution: The Sony KDL-HX850 series television has a HD native resolution of 1920 x 1080 (1080p). All video signals from standard definition and high definition sources are displayed at 1920 x 1080. The Sony KDL-HX850 series TV is equipped with HDMI, Component, and Composite video inputs. 4 HDMI Inputs: The KDL-HX850 series features four HDMI inputs. The HDMI (High-Definition Multimedia Interface) terminals provide an uncompressed, all-digital audio/video interface. The HDMI input will accept 1080p (60/24Hz), 1080i, 720p, 480p, and 480i signals. The HDMI 2 input shares a 3.5mm audio jack with the television's PC input. With an HDMI-to-DVI cable, you can connect the TV to a DVI-equipped A/V component. When connecting to a DVI-equipped component, the 3.5mm audio input is used and separate minijack audio cable must be connected. Component Video Input: The component video input will accept 1080p (60Hz), 1080i, 720p, 480p, and 480i signals. If needed, the component video input can be used as a composite video input instead. Composite Video Input: The TV is also equipped with a composite video (480i only) input. 24pTrue Cinema (24p Input Capability): Many movies are filmed at 24 frames per second (fps) and prime time TV programs are video taped at 24p. Seizing on an opportunity, some studios are taking a purist approach and encoding high definition video content such as Blu-ray Disc in 24p. Sony wisely takes advantage of this by including 24p input capability via HDMI on this television producing images that are smooth and natural looking. MotionFlow XR 960: Sony's MotionFlow XR 960 technology feature a precise backlight control that is synchronized with the liquid crystal movement from frame-to-frame creating clearer, sharper moving images. MotionFlow XR 960 combines 240 frames-per-second with the TV's advanced full-array, LED backlight system to simulate a 960 Hz effect. MotionFlow XR 960 provides smooth and precise detail during fast-action scenes for fast action movies and sports by reducing blur caused by quick camera movements, enhancing image sharpness, and overall creating a clearer picture. You can select between 4 settings - Smooth, Standard, Clear, or Clear Plus. Standard: Provides smooth picture movement for standard use. Smooth: Provides smoother picture movement for film-based content. Clear: Reduces motion blur for high-speed picture content. Clear Plus: Reduces motion blur while maintaining brightness for high-speed picture content. CineMotion: This function provides improved picture movement and reduces picture blur and graininess for film-based content. There are two settings. Auto 1: Provides smoother picture movement that the original film-based content. Auto 2: Displays film-based content with picture expression close to the original by applying a film-specific process. Infinite Dynamic Contrast Ratio: Dynamic contrast ratio compares the luminance of a 100 IRE (white) signal with that of a 0 IRE (black) signal. When the TV receives a 0 IRE signal the backlight is turned off and the luminance measurement is 0.00 cd/m2. The resulting dynamic contrast ratio is infinite. LightSensor Technology: The TV's built-in Light Sensor automatically adjusts the picture brightness based on the amount of light in the room. As a result, you can enjoy automatic customized picture brightness and save energy without lifting a finger. Advanced Contrast Enhancer (ACE): The televisions Advance Contrast Enhancer (ACE) automatically adjusts backlight and contrast to the most suitable setting judging from the brightness of the screen. This setting is especially effective for dark scenes, and will increase the contrast distinction for the darker picture scenes. The ACE can be set to High, Medium, Low, or Off. 3D Ready: The Sony KDL-HX850 series LED-LCD TV gives you the option to enjoy 3D (three-dimensional) pictures and graphics. You can enjoy an immersive, realistic movie and gaming experience in Full HD 1080p using Sony's proprietary 3D Active Glasses, (158BR250, sold separately) and connecting a compatible 3D-ready Blu-ray Disc Player, Satellite Receiver, or PlayStation3 gaming console (all sold separately) to the HDTV via HDMI. When viewed through the active shutter glasses, the on-screen image is precisely synchronized and delivered with the Full HD 1080p image intact, for an optimum 3D viewing experience. Sony's 3D technology displays high speed synchronized left- and right-eye images to deliver an immersive 3D experience. And since each frame you see is shown at Full HD resolution, the 3D action still offers razor-sharp detail. You can adjust the following 3D settings. Display Mode: For switching between 3D and 2D display modes. 3D Format: Select between 3 types of 3D formats based on your video content.

Audio Features ARC (Audio Return Channel): The Audio Return Channel in HDMI 1.4 enables a TV, via a single HDMI cable, to send audio data "upstream" to an A/V receiver; increasing user flexibility and eliminating the need for any separate S/PDIF audio connection. This feature allows audio to be sent from the television to your A/V receiver through the same HDMI cable already being used to send audio/video to the television. This eliminates the need for extra cables connected to the TV. ARC allows audio from the TV tuner, Network connection, inserted USB device, HDMI inputs, or any analog connected device to be heard through your ARC compatible AV receiver via the television's HDMI ARC input. The audio from the TV's tuner, network connection, and HDMI inputs can pass as Dolby Digital or 2ch PCM. USB and analog connected devices will be output as 2ch PCM only. Note: Both the television and the receiver must support ARC for this function to work properly. When connecting an A/V receiver that is compatible with Audio Return Channel (ARC), connect it to the TV's HDMI IN 1 port. If connecting a system that is incompatible Audio Return Channel (ARC), an additional audio connection via Digital Audio Out (Optical) is necessary.
