All New Views And Angles 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 a set of composite A/V ports, a single USP port and two HBMI jacks. Several I/O ports sit on the back together with a 3D sync connector. The latter is used to connect to a 3D transmitter, an Ethernet Port, optical audio outputs, a PC audio input and VGA/PC and coaxial connectors.

Even the remote control is a first; it is a matt ebony one of 8.6 inches that is concave-shapes with a 4-way rocker and no less than 43 buttons. You can easily use it without looking at it thanks to good positioning of commonly used buttons. There is also a 3D button that will convert images from 2D and 3D mode. You can also preset the TV to video presets such as sports, game, cinema and others as well as roam between 3 major video modes of Custom, Vivid and Standard.

You will also enjoy web applications and 3D accessories. You get a choice of over 30 video channels such as Yahoo movies, Amazon On Demand, FIFA World Cup Collection among others. You also have a choice of lifestyle and new channels, music channels and photo channels such as Shutterfly, Picasa and Photobucket.

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.
