Sony KDL-55HX823

Elegant design ; fantastic motion handling ; Freeview HD picture ; Smart functionality

3D glasses cost extra ; detail in blacks can be bettered ; 3D images lack punch

Features and motion-handling to die for. Good, but not necessarily great image quality

27mm thinness ; BBC iPlayer ; YouTube upscaling ; Smooth, no blur ; Clean and comfortable 3D

High price ; Black levels ; Crowded user interface

High up in Sony's "Cinematic" HX Series and just 27mm deep, this Edge LED-backlit LCD TV is a high-end choice indeed.

Sharpness, blur-free, 3D, online video choices, upscaling, user interface, Freeview HD

Fantastic picture

Awful sound.Need seperate sound system

I'm very happy with tv. Looks great and Blu ray, tv and 3D all great. I use surround sound do can't comment on its sound really

As a fan and user of Sony products for almost 30 years, this TV is another masterpiece in the Bravia lineup - a true flagship product. I do not agree with some reviews lamenting the somewhat 'dark' picture. The reason for this is that the Sony TV is...

Compared to the smaller 38 inch model in our bedroom (also the same monolithic style) this TV is slightly more flimsy, putting it up on the wall some of the back panels started to bend and flex. The user interface is slightly more complicated than it...

good design and good picture quality with HD, but not so good with non-HD channels

Sound quality not so good
