Sorry Steve, I was just playing nice/dumb in my case. Like I said before "Local Dimming" is either the worst name for a feature on this set, or this set does not have what Sony deems as being "Local Dimming".

I forget who all it was many many many pages ago on here (and I'm too lazy to look it up) but they argued back and forth, despite oogles of evidence to the contrary, that the 750 did indeed locally dim specific sections of the screen just like the 850 and above. It clearly does not.

EDIT: Still a nice set though! As long as I keep a few lamps on in the living room, this set looks almost flawless. The random rebooting on the other hand....

Hello everyone. I just joined the AVS Forum today. I've been home with the flu for a couple days and have just read all 28 pages of this thread. It has been very helpful in considering the KDL-55HX750. After looking at various lcd tvs over the holidays I narrowed my choice down to Sharps and Sonys. The main reason is I have a large family room with lots of windows, lights and a large opening to the kitchen with more lights. This Sony and the Sharp 847u look pretty good but have matte screens to minimize all of the reflections. The Sony looked better in the store than the Sharp plus I currently have a Sony KDL-46W4100 that I have had for 4 years that I was happy with. Unfortunately, a vertical line appeared about an inch from the very right. It's not really noticable but I was looking for an excuse to get an new set. I also liked the Sony HX850 but it has gorilla glass and is priced a little too high. The guy at Best Buy said it had an anti-reflective coating that should help minimize the glare and the HX750 kind of had a semi matte and the Sharp had more of a full matte. In the store it looked like the HX850 had more glare than the HX750 and the Sharp was in a different room with brighter lights. Anyone have any thoughts on this? It was difficult watching a tube tv in this room years ago and I will buy the Sharp if it has less glare. Thanks

First the HX850 does suffer from more glare due to the fact of the gorilla glass. If you have alot of windows ect then it might be better for you to go with a set that has a matte finish such as the HX750 and the Sharp. In the end its up to you what you want to choose. Your money, your call. Welcome to the forum.
It sure does and its a pleasure to know you Aaron and to call you a friend.

Me and my son wear glasses would the ps3 glasses be ok ?
I've read good things about them , only bad thing is that they fit a lil snug . They seem to be on sale often also .
If you know of another brand other than Sony I'd be open to it , thanks in advance for any reply's ...

Got me one of the new dell xps27's touch screens , it has intel graphics , when I got into the settings everything seems to be set up right so I'm scratching my head .

I'm guessing you're running Media Center, "flickering on and off" is just plain intermittent "flickering", and the problem occurs only on 1080i channels. If all that is true, you are almost certainly experiencing the 29/59 bug, and the answer is to disable dynamic contrast in the video driver control panel.

Hi Guys, I check all the thread, and can't find a mention about the HX755 models. I was looking for a cheap 3d Glasses on Ebay and found some Universal 3D glasses, but they mention it compatible with HX750 series, but not with the HX755. I thought both models were the same think, but seems not. Do you have an idea about the difference.
By the way, I see a cheap grasses from Samsung, the model SSG-4100GB Active 3D glasses. Has anyone tried this model with the TV HX750 or HX755.
Best regards

In fact I think the design is ugly...never thought I would say that about a Sony HDTV! They threw in some new features but none that I would use or already dont use with my HX750 like 3D. But other then that its a ho hum from me....no big deal and nothing I see would make me want to replace my HX750. I pretty much feel the same with all the new HDTV's I have seen from CES 2013. 4K? Big deal.....you would need a pretty big screen anyway to see much of a difference. And some of the new features? Wouldnt use them enough to justify the price. As I said before I am set for the immediate future with my HX750.


What does everyone else think?

I still only get about one reboot a week. Consistently, but not escalating.

PS. thoughts on the panasonic: ultimately the consumer pays for the components that go into a tv. I would rather pay for a panel than for a case...
