[ajaykatoch]

Today recieved my sony 55 hx850. First of all I would like to thanks all members of hifivision for there indepth reviews and suggestion which influence my purchase.
What I like
The quality of material used.
Design (Monolithic as per sony)
PQ produced by reality x pro processor.
3d effect
Upscaling of sd contents
What I dislike
Features
Minimal crosstalk
Reflective panel
Amazed with the picture quality rendered by this led tv from sony. The depth in hd content is awesome. The black level and details in dark scenes is treat to watch. There is no flashlight and banding on camera pan scenes.

Many congratulations. You gonna enjoy this TV for sure.
HX850 is the best LED available so far...
Please try to post some pics if possible with SD and HD content playing on TV.

Correction here - The HX925 is the best LED and the flagship model from Sony
I own one

Looks great, you will be more delighted when you see a BluRay outcome on the screen.
I have last year's version NX720 in 40", which can be I guess more or less similar. I am playing Mad-Men TV show on Bluray now a days...Black levels and Colors looks great on this show...each and every pixel is justified.
Congrates again on having this great LED TV

Nice Pictures ajay. Seems you have Logitech z-5500 to accompany your tv.

Congrats !! a great TV.. I wish I could afford that one .. hope someday they will make it affordable to Indian public by bringing down the price.. 46"-1.2 lacs & 55" 1.9 lacs- hmmm

 

[Onlydudeonly]

[ajaykatoch]

Ya logitech z5500 rocks. The usage hours was 02-08-04 IMO it is 2h tv usage, 8 times tv boot and 4 hrs panel usage. Correct me if i am wrong.

Congratulations on acquiring a gem. With due respects to HX925, I think that HX850 wins on the price front and can be callibrated to perform as good as the HX925. So in my personal and humble opinion, it is the best TV from the Sony stable.

 

[ajaykatoch]

Guys who want excellent pq i would recommend this gem of tv. For 55 size sony is better with less picture artifects. Initial cost is more but worth every penny spent.

 

[just4kix]

55HX850 was out of my budget and would have been too large at 9~10' for me. I was seriously considering between 46HX850 and 50ST50 till the later convinced me that it was better in all respects (no offence to any person). I will definitely recommend HX850 to anyone.

 

[ajaykatoch]

My viewing distance is 9-10 feet. IMO pq is stunning from this distance on 55hx850. Its like real cinema experience. Even the sd content is upscaled by this processor and appears as hd. Before buying an lcd 46 and above do demo this model from sony. Best led tv for 2012 and PQ is better than plasma in daylight with no IR and burn in. IMO panel is from sony sharp joint venture.
