Great HDTV. Amazing Picture Quality. SONY does it Again.,
*** Before reading this review understand that watching a movie on a new TV right out of the box will not provide the best picture. I spent hours and hours perfecting the settings and features of this 3D HDTV before I even tried to watch something. This Sony 3D HDTV has a huge amount of options and when set just right, you will not believe your eyes.
Pros:
+ Amazing Picture Quality. Clean crisp images with amazing depth.
+ Netflix and other streaming programs launch and run easily.
+ The Sony menu system while watching is great. Change options and features as you watch.
+ Very beautiful TV. It is a work of art and even while off I can’t stop looking at it.
+ Built in WiFi
+ Built in 3D Transmitter
Cons:
– Sound is not the best. The speakers are mounted in the back of the set which is nice because they are hidden, however this greatly hinders the audio quality. This is not an issue to me though as I have never used a TV’s built in speakers to watch a flick.
– The TV itself is a little wobbly. The stand is quite simple and seems almost too light to hold the TV up. But this goes with the simple clean look of the new Sony HDTV’s.
– Not really much of a physical manual. It is actually on the TV in the menu. “i-Manual”.
I purchased the Sony KDL55HX729 55″ Class Widescreen 3D LED HDTV over the Sony BRAVIA EX 500 Series 55-Inch LCD TV, Black due to the built in WiFi and the built in 3D glasses transmitter. They are not expensive to add, however the less extra junk I have the better. I like that everything is built in and it was well worth the extra money.
This is a great Sony 3D HDTV. I have seen Samsung and Panasonic 3D and I would say this is just as good. I watched Resident Evil: Afterlife [Blu-ray 3D]in 3D the night I got it and I was blown away. But I honestly didn’t buy this TV for the 3D. I was simply looking forward to an upgrade from my 6 year old 52″ SONY HDTV, which was great, however so much new technology has been released.
My old Sony HDTV had a large frame with speakers in the front and a “glass” frame around it. It took up about 4 1/2 inches of space on each side, which was pretty, but very unnecessary. The KDL-55HX729 has a very simply clean design with hardly any frame and the speakers are in the back. The screen is quite reflective, however this is not an issue while viewing. It simply makes it a littler nicer to look at while it’s off.
One of the first things I watch was Life (narrated by David Attenborough) [Blu-ray]on Blu-ray. LIFE is an HD nature documentary type program. Watching this blew me away, especially while watching the close-ups of the little bugs and reptiles. The color and depth felt incredibly realistic and very true to how nature intended.
One gripe I had as compared to my old LCD TV (non LED) is the LED lighting on this TV is much more noticeable. When the screen is black, I can see some spotlighting or flash-lighting or whatever you want to call it. This is where the LED light is. Also when the screen has a large white moving object on it I can see thin dark lines that I believe is the frame work that holds rows of lights behind the screen. I noticed this while watching LIFE and there was a above shot of an iceberg and then the camera moved upward. While the camera was still I really couldn’t see these lines in the screen, however when the camera shifted upward it was noticeable. So when the screen is white you really can’t see the lines. However they popped out to me when there was large white movement with darker backgrounds surrounding it. This could just be me nitpicking, however I thought it was worth mentioning. It is nothing worth returning the TV over.
Another small gripe is the sturdiness of the stand which upon this beautiful expensive TV sits. The TV pivots and turns, which is nice, however I think they would have been better off taking the flexibility away and simply making a strong sturdy stand. I would say mounting this TV to a strong wall or an equipped TV stand may be a better option if you are worried. But this TV is about 6 inches thinner than my last TV. I think I may just not be used to something so much…
