 Great 2D and impressive 3D! Nov 23, 2010
By Michael Smith
I recently purchased this TV and wanted to give my thoughts. I went in looking for a 2D TV, thinking a 3D TV was out of reach.... fortunately the Thanksgiving sales were getting started, and I got this one for only a couple hundred more than what I had budgeted for a 2D TV. The reviews on this TV in 2D mode were good, so I figured 3D was almost free, and if I didn't like it, nothing lost.
The TV is quite attractive itself.... sleek and modern. It's not sporting the new "monolithic" look of the higher end Sonys, but it has a small bezel and won't looked outdated, if that sort of thng is a concern to you. It comes with a decent stand, and has all the connections you need. Some of the connections are on the back of the unit, so be advised if you plan to wall mount it.
The TV was easy to set up and get running.
In 2D, the TV is indeed impressive. SD pictures are very good, but the HD picture is pretty spectacular. Bright, crisp, great colors.... beautiful! If you're a videophile, you'll probably want to mess with the settings. I used some calibration settings a videophile friend recommended, and it does look good, but I'm not the most sensitive person to such issues.
Some reviews complain about limited viewing angles. I did notice some loss of contrast with off-angle viewing, but again, it doesn't really seem to be an issue with me, except at fairly extreme angles, where you can't see the picture anyway.
So how's the 3D? PRETTY DARNED IMPRESSIVE! I find the 3D very convincing. Unlike some other brands I sampled, I did not detect any crosstalk or ghosting. I'm really looking froward to seeing content developed with these kind of TV's in mind. The HX800 includes a 2D to 3D conversion mode which worked better than I expected, but I'll be honest and say this is mainly a gimmick to play with until more genuine 3D content is available. The glasses work well to block out ambient light, though I found them a tad tight, so I hope Sony makes a pair for goons like me with big heads. On the bright side, they include adjustment so I can get them to fit on my 8-year-old daughter and I don't have to spring for the kid's model.
The sound is only acceptable for TV speakers, but most people getting this TV will be using it with an external sound system, so no big deal. The included speakers are certainly OK for short term use, or in a small room where a home theatre set-up isn't practical. I wound up using Sony's CT150 sound bar system and I'm very happy with that.

You can't go wrong! Nov 21, 2010
By Kevin R. Struck
Just got this unit a couple days ago. First, setup was a breeze, menu driven and easy to follow. Took less than 5 minutes, including internet connectivity. If you have a Netflix account, the setup was also super easy. Follow the on screen instructions, register your set at Netflix and within seconds, your ready to stream. Your Qeue is onscreen and streaming starts quickly. Impressive list of other internet based video sites as well. Not to mention streaming music and pictures from the more popular photo sharing sites. I should mention that the set is connected hardwired to a router in my living room so I cannot comment on the wireless setup yet.
I connected my set to a Dish Network 922 VIP HD reciever and I have to say, the picture is excellent - maybe not perfect, but darn close. Colors are accurate, bright and the picture is sharp and smooth. 240 Hz makes a huge difference from 120 HZ or 60 Hz. You will be impressed.
Remote is simple and comfortable in your hand. The menu's are quick, responsive and easy to follow. Little need for the manual.
Good number of inputs for your sat/cable receiver, home theater, blue ray player and game system. Xbox looks amazing on this thing and I am sure a Playstation looks just as good.
3D - I did not purchase the 3D glasses and emitter, and I really wish Sony included them. That is my only complaint. I did try out the 3D functionality in the store watching a ESPN football game. While the 3D was fun and far better than I ever remember it being, with so little content out there now, I figured I would wait a while.
If you are looking for a entry level, 3D ready, quality LED-LCD TV, you cannot go wrong with the HX800. The price is right and you will be impressed by this set.

Its blows HD off the charts Jul 19, 2010
By laurnzo
Ok, first of i took a risk on buying one because the bundle was so good an offer from Sony. Though like many i bought a sony bravia 40' 2 years ago, i always wanted to get a big screen to change the 42" westington house i had from 4 years ago. My finance and i went to sony style store just to check it out and it only took us 5 minutes to decide to get one after watching a few things on the screen in 3D. My finance was complaining about my Gizmo habits so i promised her i'm not buying anything but instead she wanted it more than i did.
Now about the TV..WOW the picture quality will blow your mind. Watching 3D with my Comcast HD Box by turn on 3D was more than i expected. Tried a regular blu-ray with 3D and i was like WOW. Played the free games that came with the purchase on PS3, it takes gaming to another level.
The only little problem i noticed is when you turn on the 3D it takes about 10 seconds for your eyes to get adjusted to the 3D. I heard a lot about getting headaches and feeling of throwing up but nothing of that sort happen to me nor my finance who wears glasses.
I know there is a hugh hole in my pocket now but its worth every line of thread it took out. If you had the money, id recommend you get on, if not then wait for the price to come down and you won't regret it.

SHARING THE SETTINGS OF THIS GREAT TV Dec 11, 2010
By E. suarez
GOT THIS FOR AN AMAZING 1499 PLUS TAX DEAL. THE 3D TV, ALICE IN WONDERLAND 3D BUNDLE AND A BASIC 3D BLU RAY PLAYER, IN ADITION I RECEIVED FROM SONY: MICHAEL THIS IS IT, BOLT AND THE VOLUME 1 BLU RAY THE 3D EXPERIENCE AFTER REGISTER MY TV IN SONY STYLE IN JUST 10 DAYS,
WELL THIS TV IS VERY GOOD OUT FROM THE BOX, BUT WITH A FEW SETTING CHANGES, THE PICTURE QUALITY IS REALLY GREAT.. AND FOR THE 3D EFEECT I JUST HAVE SEEN 4 MOVIES SO FAR, THIS IS A REALLY NICE EXPERIENCE, AFTER COMPARING SAMSUNG AND SONY MODELS, I NOTICE THE PICTURE QUALITY IS A LITTLE BIT SHARPER IN SAMSUNG, BUT THE 3D EFFECT I THINK IS MORE REALISTIC AT LEAST IN THIS HX800 MODEL.
HERE I SHARE THE CALIBRATION I MADE FOR THIS
FIRST VERY IMPORTANT FROM PICTURE AND DISPLAY MAIN MENU turn ambient sensor OFFFFFF this thing save energy and try to adapt the amount of light in your room, but you can not see vibrant color, so turn it off

ABOUT THE SHARPNESS..... I SAW IF YOU ARE WATCHING 7-9 FEET DISTANCE FROM THE TV, YOU BETTER LOW THE SHARPNESS UNTIL 5-6 BECAUSE AT THAT DISTANCE IF YOU GO HIGH THE IMAGE IS GOING TO BE GRAINY, BUT IF YOU ARE, LIKE ME WATCHING AT 12-13 FEET RAISING THE SHARPNESS TO 19-21 GIVES TO THE PICTURE A WOW EFFECT OF REALISM.. WITH THIS LITTLE TOUCH, THE PICTURE QUALITY EASILY REACH TO THE BEST. CHECK IT BY YOURSELF, ENJOY IT AND SHARE PLEASE YOUR OPINION!

Great 3D TV at Great Price Jan 09, 2011
By TGM
"TM"
Great product so far. We have had it since the middle of December 2010. Arrived in perfect condition. Set up was simple and connected to our Sony Blu Ray, 5.1 sound, and TIVO HD easily. Note that if you intend to use the 3d you will need to buy a new 3d blu ray, we purchased the Sony BDP-S570. The options for connections are impressive and with 4 HDMI we have everything connected. The remote control is a typical Sony remote designed by some engineer that has no experience living in the real world. But we use a Logitech Harmony remote and it works to control everything. Picture quality is very impressive, and we are glad we compared this to the Samsung and LG units. The screen is not the shiny style offered by Samsung and LG. Although those look a little better at Best Buy in a dark room we live in a loft with lots of light and this Sony has almost no reflection on the screen even in a sunlit room. Also note that this product is made in Mexico if you care about things like that not in China like some of the others. We purchased the Sony 3D starter kit with two glasses and the transmitter separately and the 3D is quite impressive. When the amount of 3D content catches up it will be nice to have this TV. The only issue we had was with the delivery company. Pilot Delivery services delivery scheduling is REALLY bad, and it might make us reconsider buying something like this from Amazon again. They only have online scheduling and they are not flexible at all. And although it may say you will get something on a specific date when you order online from Amazon that is really up to Pilot and they don't live up to what Amazon promises.
