Hey guys, I need help for choosing between these two models…. I know that this is comparing apples and oranges but that is the way things are. Both are 2012 models –so you people should know more about them by now. I am not in the States but South America so here the choices are rather...

I'm back in TV shopping mode and have been looking at the end of year Sony's vs 2013. Just donated my z4100 to my mother in-law, and need a replacement. It Will Be A Sony.... yeah, I'm a diehard. The 55 inch W900a just showed up on the Sony website with an MSRP of $2999.99 and an estimated...

When I go to the Crutchfield website and enter KDL55HX850 into a search, I get a "no longer being built" response. Is this true?

This question is about the Sony KDL55HX850 screen reflectivity. Sony advertises this TV's screen as "OptiContrast" which is supposed to minimize unwanted light reflections. Can anyone comment on this? Is OptiContrast effective in reducing reflections, or is this just wishful thinking? Several...

I have narrowed down to a few key choices in a new tv purchase. Without reading countless threads the Hx850 55" from sony and either Samsung es7500 or 8000 in 60" respectively. I'm leaning towards the sammys but is the 8000 worth a fee dollars more. Picture quality is my main concern , the...

Hi !, I bought Sony Bravia LED Model No. KDL-46NX720 in October 2011. Earlier i was shocked to know that this model doesn't supports playing of .mkv files, so i had to convert the .mkv movies into .mp4 first and then copy it to USB or HDD and play it. Since last week while watching a MP4...
