Sony BRAVIA KDL40HX800 Cnet Review
What could be the next?
I am very surprised by the quality of this TV, I started to think that Sony could not visibly improve the product. I had to buy a 40" as well as problems in the mobile industry, we built a new gallery. The result of compressing an image and a 1080p 240Hz refresh rate on a 40-inch display provides only an attention to detail, contrast and depth of nearly three dimensions (of a signal in two dimensions), which is beyond what I had imagined. Because our new gallery and wiring for internet and cable are not completed, I have not tried Internet TV or 3D real. I saw the 3D capabilities of this set in the house of my son who has the television itself, which is only 46". The 3D image is amazing, and this shows the different levels of depth that I expected, levels of depth seem to have a distinguishing number, instead of a gradual transition from close range.
I think the 3D effects are strongly dependent on the quality of the original source of the material in 3D, and if the photograph was to be as realistic as possible, or was struck by the sensationalism of 3D. I'm not convinced that the photographers of cinema, directors or producers have begun to master the new features that 3D has made available. In addition, there are a lot of 3D hardware available yet. However, I am completely satisfied with the sense of the depth of more than one combination of 1080p and 240Hz refresh rate. Also, do not expect the best sound quality of this set. The sound is just OK and should be connected to a good sound system 5.1 or better understand the sounds that support this.
However, the sound can be set to clear the box if you do not need the explosive low-frequency shaking the house, the sound is almost necessary to get the full impact of the soundtrack and adventure movies. In short, this TV is so good that the weaknesses are minor compared to the whole. Although this unit can be priced on the high side of the other on the market, the extra cost is more than worth it, in my opinion. I am reasonably sure that anyone who buys this set will agree. If you think otherwise, I would be curious to know why.
excellent 3D TV though pricey
I have had this LED TV for three months ... purchased on the basis reviews of others .. through social media. I am very satisfied. The TV works perfectly with the Internet (you must purchase the USB Wi-Fi for about $70) and cable. I added a sound system, Sony CT150 with it and it does enhance experience and makes life easier as all that is, the Blue-Ray player and TV set-top box connected to it.
The structure is very intuitive and easy. The swivel mount is well done. All screws are inserted in the holes properly and there are enough of them. Installation requires strength of mind, why not tell you that the television will automatically install the software to run properly updated Netflix, Pandora, etc., but only if you turn off the TV just a few and the Internet to keep him on standby. So If you are pretty frustrated that things do not work, it turns off (goes into standby mode) and back in ten minutes ... everything is fixed.
