Sony Bravia XBR-HX929 review: Sony Bravia XBR-HX929

Sony Bravia XBR-HX929

The ; series produces deeper black levels than any current LCD or plasma TV, giving excellent overall picture quality. It evinces accurate shadow detail and color; offers plenty of video processing options; and can properly handle 1080p/24 sources. It...

The extremely expensive XBR-HX929 shows some blooming artifacts, and its picture deteriorates more noticeably than usual when seen from off-angle. Its menu and Internet service design is lackluster, and Sony does not include 3D glasses. When displaying...

One of the best-performing LED-based LCDs we've ever tested, the expensive local-dimming Sony XBR-HX929 competes well with the top plasmas.

I had my 65'' 929 for a few months now and it plays almost 24/7.

I'm hoping that Sony soon implement ''AVI '' Flash Drive video viewing from this set soon.

I read the reviews and knew the XBR-65HX929 was going to be a great TV. It never got 5 stars and one other brand had slightly higher ratings in this category. However, my installer said he had sold several XBR-65HX929's and people "loved" them. I...

A simply stunning picture. Beautiful design

No supplied 3D glasses

Good TV

Sony invested a lot in research over the quality of the image and the hardware improvements required to support this. As a whole the TV is a good try from Sony to offer a top of the line TV.

Great 2D/3D picture and inside hardware architecture

Does not play all video formats, not as smart as a smart tv should be
