'The Sony KDL-HX800 series is the company's least expensive to feature 3D compatibility. '
'The Sony KDL-46HX800 was easy to calibrate, as putting it in Cinema mode seemed to put it pretty close to the mark for our calibration standards.'
'The KDL-55HX800 has an MSRP of $3,399.99, but it's now being sold through www.sonystyle.com and other outlets for around $2,800, which is competitive with similarly equipped models from Samsung and LG that are also 3D-ready.'
'The speakers are discreetly hidden along the bottom edge of the frame and angled downward--not quite as hidden as Samsung's design, for example, but still nearly invisible.'
'the two Toshiba flat-panel LCD HDTVs are essentially identical but for screen size, so we expect the picture quality of the 52-inch model to provide a good indication of how the 57-incher will perform.'
'It's worth noting here that, unlike Sony, Toshiba, and Hitachi, for example, Philips did not include any kind of "de-judder" processing in this model to go with the 120Hz--you'll have to wait for the company's '08 models for that.'
'The HDMI input is fully backward compatible with DVI sources but includes digital audio.'
'shiny screen causes distracting reflections in normal room lighting.'
'a plethora of features for superb digital entertainment.'
'As I worked with the TV for the UAV review, I came to realize that, in my haste to finish the work for Playback , I had set the brightness incorrectly, which impacted the shadow detail.'
