Mini Reviews Samsung 3D LED TV 55C8000's how I see

Friday, April 13, 2012

I tested the Samsung 3D LED TV model C8000, which is considered "New" and "best picture" of Samsung in this year, I have just a few minutes to played out fantastic  functions. I believe that some one are not familiar with 3D TV and I would like to pushing tell you in this review.

Toshiba 46WX800U is perfect 3D LED TV

Sunday, January 1, 2012

I've been 46WX800U on two days ago and when turn it on It has a very clear picture looks better than my old DLP 61". It looks realistic, colorful images perfect to use 3D glasses with 3D content, it works very well. Xbox 360 is simply amazing, and a new freshness to all games, especially Black Ops. It also tried a regular DVD, the best up convert to 1080p I have ever seen. I have no complaints.

Price for value:
I'm not someone who jumps at things with newest features; I wait for when the prices come down a bit and features are more stable. But when this TV was offered with free 3D starter and Blue-ray DVD player, it just did it for me. I totally think it is worth it.

Shipping:
I was impressed that all of the items arrived faster than scheduled, but sending them all together would have been better. They arrived at different times and you need to be home for TV to sign, but not the other ones. They just left DVD player (in rain!) without even bothering to ring the door bell. Luckily, I have a security camera that sends me Email when someone comes to my door and I picked it up quickly (isn't that cool?).

Size, look, setup:
All perfect and easy here. I setup it up alone, but it's a bit heavy and 2 people would be safer. I was in market for 55", but the bundle was not offered with that one and I went down to 46" with some reservations. That was a good decision; the size is good enough for my family room; they all look smaller in the stores with so many large TVs. It's an edge-lit LED (not back-lit) and the bright LED TV you see in store is just a marketing mode. But I already knew this and wasn't that surprized.

Internet TV:
Initially, I thought this feature is redundant bcz the DVD player does the job. But without a doubt this is the coolest feature for me so far. It comes already setup to work with yahoo widgets such as weather or news and also youtube videos. You can customize and constant access to say weather for your favorite locations. However, here is also when I took one star off: the wireless receiver is pretty weak. I have 4 laptops at every corner of my house with good reception, so it must be the TV. SW upgrades are already available, but it failed to download 3 times until i moved my wireless router right next to the TV from office. I need to take the router back to office, so i have to settle with intermittent internet connection. Bummer, and here goes one star! Hope DVD player has a better wireless reception. Bottom line you might need a wireless signal booster if your TV is far from your router.

3D:
I haven't got to test this yet, bcz i don't have a 3D movie yet. Would it kill you to throw a low-end 3D disk in the bundle? Now I have to write to Santa, so someone gives me a 3D movie just to test my bundle:-)

Summary:
Excellent deal! I have never spent this much time with a new TV.
Cons: weak wifi reception -> may need a signal booster ($60-$70)
Pros: everything else.

Toshiba 46WX800U Awesome 3D TV - Just Set It Right

Friday, December 30, 2011

I have a Samsung 3D DLP TV 61 inch for the living room, now we move to a new home. My wife want flat screen TV for the bedroom. Her budget is about $900 for a good HDTV. But I told her that at this price level may be moderate quality TV.

Until I found this Toshiba 3D TV. The 46WX800U compared the performance it seems to be no less than $2000, but since it is the market a long time. Its price has been reduced more than half. The old blu-ray player use well and we use 3D active shutter glasses really good. I would like to explain in detail below.

1. Ordered the 46" model on the 15th and requested the delivery on the earliest date of the 22nd of March. You will schedule a date and time so you will be home when it arrives, usually a week.
2. I got a little anxious and downloaded the owner's manual. You should really skim through it because some of the negative reviews here could have been avoided if they read it.
3. Pilot freight arrived and tried to give the television to my neighbor. Thank god I walked outside because the creep would have signed for it and I would have had a monster dispute on my credit card. I told the pilot guy, "it that supposed to go to my address?" He said, "oh, sorry about that." He carried the TV into my house after noticing the correct address and asked if I wanted to take it out of the box to ensure it worked. Since the box had no damage and it had to go upstairs, I declined because the box was in great condition. I had to sign a paper indicating I did not want to test the television and he said that the 30 day guarantee was still fine, it would just delay the return by a day or two if there were any problems.
4. The box is pretty big and everything was packed well. The box weighed about 65 pounds and was long -you may need help to set this up. The assembly instructions and tools are included for the stand. Spacers are included for wall mounts. Assembling the screen to the stand is alright but you should do this while the plastic wrap is still covering the screen on a soft surface. Once you plug it in and hit the power, it may take a few seconds to turn on so don't worry.
5. Setup guides you through everything but the applications aspect, just hit the widget button to set everything up. It is not too complicated but anyone without good PC experience may run into problems. My firmware was the most current except for the widget software. Have a computer handy to make accounts and set up features like Pandora and Netflix.

Pros:
-The TV is sharp, picture quality is great, and daytime viewing is excellent. I went to Walmart to pick up a stand the day prior and looked at cheaper models. It was comparable to the $1000 LG model but offered the 3D option through the promotion, making this the best priced 3D LED LCD flatscreen on the market right now.
-The wireless is fast but setup may have issues, explanation in tips.
-The black levels are great, if you have dynalight on. I will talk about this more below in the tips section.
-The streaming through DLNA works great but there is a con there too, I will get back to that in the tips section as well.
-The sound does not travel too much outside of the room. It is great for bedrooms. If you are a sound buff that wants bass, get a tuner and speakers.
-Component connections are ample and positioned well.
-The Netflix, Blockbuster, Vudu, and Youtube options can save you the expense of another $100 device to buy and manage.

Cons:
-You can still see some reflection on the display in bright rooms. It is not as bad a some televisions but if I focused on it, it was there.
-Some of the setup options may be a bit complicated for some users. Please review the manual because it can save you a lot of hassle. When setting up options, remember to look at the bottom 1" of the screen for options that are detached from the main option screen and it can be missed easily.
-The television was a little crooked on the stand even though the holes lined up. The only fix is to set it on the floor and loosen and re-tighten the hex screws again.
-The widgets can be a little complicated. I still have not found a way to remove some of them that I do not use. You can easily remove the ones you downloaded but items like flicker are permanent.
-Netflix does not give you the advanced genre features like the PC, PS3, XBOX, Roku, and other devices. I would like to see the selection categories and hope they add it in the future. I like the fact I do not have to turn on and control and additional device to watch it but it will only allow you to see your instant queue.
-The wireless access point search ran for 5 minutes on me. I had to power the TV off and on again before they would show up in the assisted setup list.

3D quality:
I currently have a Samsung 61" DLP with checkerboard 3D ready and the quality of depth is amazing through a PC. The depth is incredible and was so inciting, it got me into the 3D generation. The problem there is the setup; I had to buy a kit for $150 to get it to work and it is limited to the power/options/games/software that your PC has with very limited device support. So far I have only tried this Toshiba with the PS3 and was not happy with the gaming results, however, the movies looked pretty good with medium depth. I did see very little ghosting on the video but Killzone 3 was absolutely horrid. Motorstorm was at best "OK." I read that since the power on the PS3 was limited, it cut the resolution of the 3D games in half and ghosting is a game was a big issue. So please don't expect to get something great from a gaming console. I don't know about the XBOX 360 but hopefully, it will not be the same case. If you want to get the most of your 3D with this, use a PC with software like Tridef (they have a 14 day trial) with at least a DX11 video card with 1GB of RAM. I upgraded from a ATI Radeon 5750 to a Radeon 6870 and can play Fallout New Vegas at 1080P with all setting max with a pretty good frame rate of 40FPS average. If you have an earlier card and want to see some really good, jaw dropping 3D, play Half Life 2 with the Tridef software trial. It is what 3D is supposed to be.

This 46WX800U 3D LED TV is a really good product. And worth the price. It is compatible with the Toshiba computer screen, allowing you to do anything more. 3D is great for work, but you have to pay a little more money to buy equipment. I was very happy with this purchase and expect the TV to last at least 10 years. So, for $ 10 a month you could end up with a really nice piece of equipment that will give you years of enjoyment. I was really excited about this and. this is my first, real, in-depth review. I would have appreciated this before I bought it and hopefully it will help you in making a choice for a premium product for a bargain bin price. Hey, just go look at the prices of. other 3D TVs and you will see what I am talking about.

Method of setting good picture for Toshiba 55WX800U 3D LED TV

Thursday, December 29, 2011


Now I have WX800U 46 inch, but I think it is in the same setting, and because I'm not an expert. I think I'll call the setting of successive approximations.

There are about 7 different types of my setting are  PC, Standard, Movie1, Movie2, Sports, Games and AutoView, which of these settings will be adjusted according to the type of input.

First,I've gone through and set all the sound settings on all of these image modes (for all inputs) for the same settings that I like, I found the best for sound. So, if you change your image mode does not change the sound of wild confusion from the one or the other picture settings.

Now this is done I went and set the picture settings in order from dark to light, so that a change in the menu (in the sequence of installation photos), I took the results between weak and strong. I was considered the darkest PC, I put that, if you want very little of an image can be used at all, just enough to what is happening. Maybe listening to music like Pandora. In any case, the PC settings are very weak. Backlight 25 Contrast 40, Brightness -30. I think the TV with my PC use these settings make for a good light on the desktop. I want to look like something to take pictures photoshop or something, then I choose everything above PC.

Movie1 backlight 30, contrast 90, brightness 0. movie2 backlight33, contrast 50, brightness +6. that leaves autoview with everything centered and standard as 50,75,+30. and game and sports are even brighter. I watch movies, and generally just tweak the movie settings for slight differences that would only depend on the movie of the moment.

Once you change inputs, you'll have to do this again for a new input, like composite video from a vhs tape player, or component from a dvd. My main movies are on the blu ray player. After a few go arounds with inputs, you can get MOST of the picture settings established at settings like those above.

As a last step, then I adjust ( from dim to bright) by choosing the appropriate name of the picture setting, and then make small adjustments to the setting that is closest by tweaking (just for that media on the given input). So i am slowly honing in on a favorite set of picture settings from different inputs, and different media on those inputs.
The macro view is still going to remain -- dim to bright -- inspite of all my small changes.

Maybe after owning the set for a while you can report back here what settings you have honed in on for the various inputs that you have been using with your wx800u. See, not very scientific, huh?

The Toshiba WX800U is the first 3D TV from Toshiba

Wednesday, December 28, 2011


This is the first quasi-real 3D TV from Toshiba, which we have heard that it is expensive as mainframe-equivalent-in-a-flat-panel Cell TV. Today, the company Toshiba says this is the first 3D model to be beginning implemented in U.S. It may be even more expensive now.

When the WX800 arrives in late September Toshiba will be the sixth TV maker, after Samsung, Panasonic, Mitsubishi, Sony and LG, to allow its 2010 TV viewers the ability to see into the third dimension.

Like those makers Toshiba will require you to buy a pair of its glasses (model FTP-AG01U, $169 list) for each viewer who wants to see the 3D effect--nope, this isn't the company's rumored glasses-free 3D TV.

The WX800 comes in two sizes: the 46-inch 46WX800 ($2,599 list) and the 55-inch 55WX800 ($3,299). Both LCDs sport an edge-lit LED backlight, not our favorite kind, that lacks the dimming found on some competitors. They're superthin at 1.2 inches deep, however, and have a look as sleek as we expect from a modern high-end TV.

Toshiba does attempt to differentiate itself from the pack by including its "3D Resolution+" processing, said to improve 3D picture quality by reducing crosstalk, a common artifact we've seen on other 3D models, in particular LCDs (although our past experiences with 2D Resolution+ have not been life-changing). Unlike the Cell TV, as well as select models from Samsung, Sony, Panasonic and LG, the WX800 does not have 2D-to-3D conversion.

Along with the non-3D VX700 models announced at the same time, they're also Toshiba's first with the Yahoo Widgets platform (in a separate announcement, Yahoo touted content including Pandora, eBay, games, Twitter, and Facebook). Widget-agnostic, they also offer the Vudu Apps platform, and include streaming services from Vudu movies, Blockbuster, Showtime, and Netflix, among others. We also appreciate that both series include built-in wi-fi, as opposed to making you purchase a separate USB dongle. On paper these new Toshibas stack up very well against other Internet-connected TVs, whether or not you want that.

Toshiba's reps say we'll receive a 55WX800 review sample in the next few weeks. In the meantime, vitals are included below.

Toshiba WX800 series features:
  • 3D compatible (glasses not included)
  • edge-lit LED backlit LCD display
  • 3D Resolution + processing
  • Vudu, Netflix and Blockbuster
  • Yahoo Widgets, Vudu Apps
  • built-in Wi-Fi connection
  • Single-layer design, 1.2 inches deep

Toshiba 55WX800U Amazing 3D HDTV Set

Tuesday, December 27, 2011

I researched these types of sets for months for the family. surprisingly there were hardly any reviews on the 55wx800u - none on cnet or other major review sites. since my family loves toshiba products (3 generations of toshiba buying family members) we decided to take the plunge on this tv. reasonably priced with a whole host of settings to customize your tv's picture, if you like to tweak. if not, you can choose from some nice presets.


Overall, the color is vibrant, the set is very attractive - elegant, professional but not overly done like some other sets. prior to this tv, we had the panasonic s2 42" plasma tv (which replaced a 53" toshiba projection television)in the family room,as i wanted to try a plasma set and toshiba doesn't make plasmas. happy with the panay, we were torn to either get the panasonic 54vt 3dtv or this set. pricing was similar - but internet was not built into the panay. the plasma consumes much more power than this set. also, the 3d glasses that come with the toshiba are much more comfortable than the ones that came with the panay.

So without reviews and based solely on my family's experience with toshiba, we bought this tv. we are extremely happy and i believe all the talk about blooming, clouding, flashlighting that comes with an edge lit set like this one is either overdone or toshiba has done an excellent job overcoming these issues. some quick things to note, connection to the wireless internet went smoothly and the widgets are very cool. there is a system update that takes about 5 mins - so make sure you update your system. also, when attaching the standing to the tv, it states slide and lock...it's a bit confusing and customer service wasn't very helpful - just slide flat so that the two tabs on the stand slide into the two openings on the back of the tv - so you don't have to press down to lock in something the toshiba customer service (who apparently never put one of these things together) suggested. anyway, i wanted to put a real review up here since this is so lacking. if you have questions, ask. also, i will update in a couple months as to reliability. oh, lastly, don't buy from JR.com - their policy states that they have to open the package and add some "protective materials"- well - that set arrived broken. i refused the package and reordered through amazon.com and they sent the package "factory sealed" and it was fine.

Toshiba WX800U Outstanding 3D LED HDTV

Monday, December 26, 2011

SELECTING: I was in the market for a new TV, but I had no intention of getting a 3D TV until I saw the sale Amazon had that included the Bluray player and glasses for $1299.


Too good to pass up since I was going to spend close to that on a regular LED/LCD TV anyway. There were a few sales on Samsungs and Panasonics, but I chose Toshiba. The TV being replaced was a 3.5 year old 50" HD Toshiba DLP. That was a great product, so I decided to exercise a little brand loyalty. Additionally, because Toshiba was one of the last "big" manufacturers to release their 3D TV, I figured they would probably have the best picture since they had more time to perfect their technology. That may be incorrect logic, but it worked for me. There were almost no reviews when I bought the TV, so I kept my fingers crossed.

SHIPPING: I waited like a little kid for this thing to get to me - even though I got it in 5 days, it seemed like forever! The box had a huge hole in it (looked like it had been kicked) and the back of the TV had a small dent. I signed for it with the acknowledgement that it was dented so if it didn't work, I could send it back. These things are shipped via freight, and freight is known to be rough on packages. The dent didn't bother me (provided it worked), so I took it home.

SETUP: Got home, took it out of the box. This thing is skinny! It is also surprisingly heavy (not overly cumbersome, but it is heavier than it looks). The base attaches like it should - pretty self explanatory. Got it hooked up and turned on. The TV walked me through the setup as it should. The picture was great - I don't have cable (I know, I know), but the OTA stations looked wonderful. It was a very clean look. The response time changing channels was very quick (it was somewhat slower on the DLP TV). The options Toshiba has to change the picture are limitless - I am still tinkering with the picture (although the way it is set up out of the box is great).

3D SETUP: I bought A Christmas Carol, Open Season, and Monsters Vs. Aliens (off eBay) in 3D. Setup is identical to a regular DVD player, except I believe you need to have a 1.4 HDMI cable (not a standard HDMI) to transmit the 3D image. I wish they mentioned this up front, but luckily I did some research before the TV arrived and ordered an Amazon cable for $7. Not a big deal, but I would have been pretty irritated if I would have had to make a trip to BestBuy to buy a $50 cable. For the glasses, you just pull the clear battery saver tab (you'll see it if you don't know what I'm talking about) and you're good to go. You can tell when the glasses are on because the light allowed through the glasses changes. I believe I had to change the TV to auto-detect 3D, but a message pops up and tells you what to do once it sees a 3D disc, so that's all there is to it.

STANDARD/BLURAY PICTURE: Fantastic. There's not much more to it. It is a great picture with incredible detail. I thought the old HD DLP Toshiba had a great picture, but I don't know if I'll be able to watch it again because of the improvement this TV is over that one. Bluray really did blow me away on this TV. There are countless adjustments you can make to the picture, which is nice (doubt I'll use them, but it's more of a comfort thing).

3D PICTURE: Didn't know what to expect. After I ordered the 46", I began reading that you needed a bigger screen to appreciate 3D and got worried. Luckily, this wasn't true! The picture is much more "crisp" than in the theaters. When I first put on "A Christmas Carol," all I could do was smile. I had read a lot of blurbs here and there regarding the issues people were having with 3D TVs making "ghost" and "double" images. It actually did happen during one scene of "A Christmas Carol," but I'm not really sure why (it was actually just a character's nose had a ghost image during one scene), and it didn't happen at any other part or with the other movies. I did figure out that the 3D picture is BEST when the TV is on the brightest setting. I'm sure someone can explain why, but I can't. This was especially true during "A Christmas Carol," which is a fairly "shadowy" movie to begin with.

SUMMARY: Spend the money on the 3D Toshiba if you're in the market for a new TV. The current Amazon deal includes everything you need for 3D (except for the 1.4 HDMI cable), and the picture is amazing. I think it will be a long time before the a 3D TV drops much lower than this (at least a good quality one). There is not much in the way of media in 3D at the moment, but there will be. I am glad I made this investment, and would do it again.

- PixelPure 5G 14-bit internal digital video processor increases gradation levels for smoother, clearer images

I ordered this TV and the accompanying Blu-ray player and 3D glasses, primarily because it seemed to have all the bells and whistles, and I had such good experience with my "old" Toshiba 46HL196. After hanging it on the wall and hooking up to my TiVo (cable), DirecTV (satellite), The 3D Blu-ray player, my PC, my bluetooth audio to my hearing aids, and my network bridge, I began the setup. Everything went so well that I thought I had missed something. The TV recognized the network instantly, the 3D channels on DirecTV were in beautiful 3D, the Blu-ray 3D movie "Clash of the Titans" played as advertised, the PC hookup (HDMI)automatically fixed the overscan problem I'd had with the old TV, and as a bonus, the TV downloaded a software update when I turned it on the next morning.

Samsung UN55D8000 Every bit as good as I expected

Saturday, December 24, 2011

This review is a little long winded. Skip to the bottom for just the pros and cons. Or, keep reading to waste 10 minutes of your life. Over the last 5 years, I have been using a 58" Panasonic Plasma TV. Not a bad TV, but not the greatest either. It was only 1080i, it got hot pretty fast (which made the room hot and the air condition kick on too often), and the dimensions were weird (I looked at entertainment centers that should fit a 60" TV, but the TV still wouldn't fit.). I felt an upgrade was in order.


I'll have to admit, shopping for a TV was pretty fun. A lot of work though. The research was overwhelming at times. Websites upon websites, magazines, books, different people's inputs, salesmen trying to sell you different things depending on which store you went to, etc. I narrowed it down to one of many Sony HDTVs or a Samsung C or D series. After narrowing it down to those 2 brands, it was a little easier. I went to about 4 different Fry's Electronics and 7 different Best Buys to check it out in different situations. After that, it came down to the UN55D8000 (boy, did I memorize those numbers). To make the decision easier, I was looking on Amazon, and to my amazement, they had it for $500 less that everyone else, plus free shipping. Score!

With the free shipping, it usually takes a little longer. I would say, from the time the order was placed, until it got to my front door, it took about 1.5 weeks. It came delivered from Home Direct, USA and had no issues with delivery. They were going to set up the TV, but I told them not to, since my entertainment center hadn't come in yet. I opened up the box, put the TV on a soft cloth (our bed's comforter) and installed the stand. Eight screws, piece of cake. I connected the Directv receiver and a PS3. There are a few settings you will set in the beginning when the TV turns on. Takes about 2 minutes, literally. After that, the fun begins! Going from 1080i to 1080p is a huge difference! I had a recording of Chuck on the DVR and it almost looked live. I also watched some regular satellite programming and even the non-HD channels looked amazing.

After wiping the drool off the floor, I wanted to check out the 3D part of the TV. I popped in the free copy of Shrek the 3rd in the PS3, put on the glasses and waited to be amazed. Aside from the amazing colors, it looked exactly like 2D! WTH?! Then, I remember reading somewhere that the PS3 does indeed play 3D movies, BUT with an upgrade. I waited about 30 minutes for the upgrade to finish. After that, loaded up the dvd again, and there was the movie with that funky 3D image. Hey wait, I have 3D glasses on, how come I see that. Oh, oops. Batteries need to be installed in the glasses. Finally! The 3D image was awesome! Seriously, watching TV in 3D is amazing. I can't wait `til there's more media in 3D. As it stands right now, the only real movies in 3D are either documentaries or cartoons, with the exception of a few regular movies (i.e. Resident Evil, Step Up 3, etc.)

I just set it up last night, so I can't give you a whole lot more information. But, even if I did have more time, I don't think I can give you the detailed specs that you might be looking for. I'm not an expert on home theater. Here's an overview of pros and cons:

PROS:
* The lack of a bigger bezel really does make a difference. Not only aesthetically, but in terms of functionality, too (better 3D viewing. It looks like you're looking thru a window.).
* Images are spectacular. Whether it be regular programming, HDTV programming, or Blu-Ray.
* Price on Amazon was very good!
* Delivery was pain-free.
* A lot of settings options, so you can set up the TV to your preference and the viewing scenario (i.e. movie, standard, etc.)
* 3D movie watching is stunning! I just wish Panasonic didn't have exclusive rights on Avatar.

CONS:
* SmartTV is a cool feature. But, not a necessity. I really doubt that I'll Facebook or Tweet from the TV.
* Audio isn't great, but it's adequate. I wasn't really expecting much from a flat screen TV.
* Did not come with the touch-screen remote as was supposed to be the case in the beginning of the year.
* Have to mail in the vouchers (or register online) in order to get the 3D glasses. True, you do get a 3D starter kit with this TV, which has the glasses, but those glasses are a little different and use batteries. Also, you have to send out to get the free copy of Shrek Forever and Megamind. I really shouldn't complain, though, since these are free.
* Needs a more detailed manual on how to use most of the features. The manual it comes with is thick, but it's just because it's the same thing in different languages.

After playing around with the TV a little more this weekend, I noticed that the top of the screen had some light flickering (around where the bezel meets the screen and it was about 1/16" tall and went almost across the whole TV. I'm hoping it's not the "edge lighting.") It only did this on some channels on Directv. Most channels were fine and Blu-Ray was fine. I'm thinking it's either the receiver or possibly the cheap HDMI cable. I have a Monster M1000 series cable coming in later this week, so I'll switch it out and update.

Also, there has been talk all over online about people having problems pairing the remote. I had zero problem and did it about 5 feet away from the TV. One last thing, one of the glasses in the free 3D kit didn't seem to work. I changed out batteries and nothing. Then, the next morning, I tried it again, but this time turning off the bluetooth in my phone, and it worked. Whether this had an effect on it, I don't know. But, just thought I'd throw that out there.

BTW, this weekend, I watched Tangled in 3D and played MLB2K11 on the PS3...... WOW! I'll have to admit, I liked 3D, but I thought it was just a novelty. No way. 3D is much different now than when we had those blue and red glasses. It changes the whole experience.

Didn't have to do anything to get the line gone. It just went away one day. Also, I finally got the 3D glasses from the voucher that's in the TV. Unfortunately, they are the 3300s and not the 3700s that I kept seeing from people at CES. I won't knock the rating down, but I am a little disappointed that the glasses and the remote that were advertised earlier in the year didn't come with the unit, nor even thru mail.

I have read one poor review of this tv stating the led backlight was visible fromt the edges and i have to disagree. i cannot see the backlight source at all. this is by far the best looking tv on the market. I do however wish it had full array led backlighting rather than the dynamic edge.

My only complaint (if you can even call it that) is the remote. is a bit "because of the wide QWERTY on the back and I havent been able to take the side QWERTY to sync with my TV, but always says error .. I would like the touch screen remote control that came with the 9000 series, see forward. It is not so large. I had this TV for a short time, but I recommend this TV, if your budget.

Overall, a beautiful image, 3D, in many HDMI, USB, Wi-Fi and Samsung SmartTV is a good option for someone in the market high-end LED-LCD.

Sony BRAVIA XBR55HX929 Reviews


I waited four months make sure for TV. I was not going to lose something in my search for a new TV. I'm glad I waited. I must say that the appearance of features in 3D were insignificant to me and my wife. I just wanted the best picture I found in 2D, and now do not even have 3D glasses.

I looked at all those models and was one of Samsung and LG8000, Sony W6500, and perhaps, if measured up. A lot of things to like about all three models and I looked at the LG and Samsung 20 times. Head of Samsung has an exceptional setting. Even with corners slightly saturated colors of black fell much better and LG held together with the 3D passive at the best price I was pretty sure that's what they are buying, but chose to wait for Sony is the only way that I do not surprisingly, much later.

I Observed side by side, all three of them, there was simply not comaprison and my wife who is very unselfish commented how much better the image was of all (all games at the store were put on bright colors, no other changes ). Even with steep viewing angle, Sony has lost much less than the Samsung and LG as well. The set makes a huge difference of 30 fts, and Sony jumped into clarity, depth, practically without vibration (shudder, blur) or whatever you call it.


The picture is phenomenal. And as clean and beautiful as a television can be. Gorilla glass is the beautiful version, you can simply use a glass cleaner, beautiful and pleasant even during the opening of a CD case, two fell from this hand and hit the front. Probably would not have done something wrong.


CONS: Because I gave 4 stars and not five. The directions stink, and I knew that in general the stuff aside and online is very slow (but that's because I have a Mac). The stand is well designed and adequately strong, but they have a potential defect, and reduced slightly to my right, but apparently Sony is sending someone to see that it's nice that they do not think they have a lot there.


Finally, it is expensive and it was difficult to justify nearly a thousand more than the LG, but for me, the Sony provided the difference. For others maybe not. Overall, I'm glad I waited. If you compare them side by side, close your eyes and sign the check is probably worth it!

I spent a long time to read reviews before making a purchase and I am very glad I took a chance on this relatively new Sony. It seems to have all the features of more expensive XBR series, but uses local dimming LED lighting device, rather than the backlight. This makes it thinner, which was for me more important than quality of the images for my application. I also have a uniform thickness and is mounted on wall very close to my house.

This is a subjective matter. However, I heard that Sony TV has a much better finish of the Samsung D8000. The Sony looks like a perfect setting for the image and feel with glossy black finish. With Sony, you can also turn on the TV at a certain angle (the angle is fixed), similar to a tilt screen of the laptop to work.

Update the firmware as soon as you arrive at the latest features such as streaming video and multimedia, the iPhone remote control (available via the App Store) is working properly. Qriocity did not work due to the recent failure of security, but should return soon. Pandora and Netflix streaming works very well. The sensor is better when set to non-motion detection, if not bad for face recognition when there is strong back-lighting.

DLNA streaming leaves much to be desired, as it does not support MKV, XVID, or other popular video formats. It also took a long time to start playing a normal MPEG file that I sent my laptop with Windows 7. Simply connect to my DLNA WDTV transmitting live from my laptop, which has resolved everything worked much better. The images and the music seems to work well anyway. When connected to a PC, Windows 7 Media Center via HDMI or DVI, the screen looked better than my computer screen. It was so clear-cut that can be easily used in place of a projector for presentations and Starcraft II looked amazing.

3D, I felt looked better with a WOW factor (as in the film) of Sony as compared Samsung. Things seemed to fly off the screen, instead of Samsung. But I had a very interesting observation. While watching movies, I felt that I look at a Samsung home video (shot Handycam video on the staff). With the Sony I felt I was watching a real movie. To feel the same when you watch a Samsung?

Summary: This is a nice and slim 3D TV. It has a beautiful crystal clear images. Excellent photos and digital images in high definition. Features such as the Internet YouTube, Netflix, eBay and more. I recommend this TV. Before, I had a 42 HDTV and now I have updated 55 3D HDTV and I love it. 3D is incredible, I put 2D,3D depth and 3D is really like in the movies, the image really alive.

    Cool, I don't interest about 3D. If it were not for the sword thrust to the public, there would be no 3D content. But to get the best image, Today technology has offer, you must purchase the 3D function. I hate the producers to do this publicly, but they have a lot of money riding on the success of 3D. Well, 3D is not going to happen for them in any great numbers.

    I compared several large-screen TV, but I kept coming back to the D7000. It seemed smart and the picture was just fantastic. I made a plug in a Blu-ray player on TV and I finished all different, the Samsung was more than they could quantify. Two days later, It was in my living room. The TV is slow to turn on. Is not instantaneous. This long that you get in this life and how precious time waiting for a TV is a waste to come. Samsung engineers need to do better. In any case, give at least five seconds to display the image. When you go online to television, in five or ten seconds are required. Tick. Tick Tick. Dishnetwork arrival I hooked up the receiver. HD had some pictures of landscapes that looked so good I had to pant. My Blu-Ray HD tests mood Aquarium and the color has just jumped off the screen.

    I had access to the Internet with wireless is easy to establish. (Then I went to a cable connection, is 5 times faster than my G router) Intelligent Hub The browser is clunky (perhaps it is still too new for me) to use and the browser does not support Java. Very stupid. To have this big TV and do not have Java in your browser to cry. The main screen is full of smart leading content hub that can not be eliminated. Users should have more control here. One thing you learn to hate in your browser Hub intelligent are often the message: Plug-In is not supported. Another message users get tired of it: is the browser stop loading all browser windows stable, even if only one window open. Well, Samsung, get with it! Bring to use the browser.

    The remote control (BN59-01134B Samsung QWERTY QTD1 RMC) is flanked. One side of the TV, the other for Internet. It has a full QWERTY keyboard and a touchpad that is half the size of a finger nail. And it works. It takes practice, but it works. The side of the TV remote is IR and RF is the Internet side. The RF part of the remote control must be coupled with the TV. Finally, pointing to the side of the infrared remote sensor must be directly on the bottom right of the screen or do not have a remote control function.

      After tons of research and looking at different sets of multiple stores to take best 3D TV. This is a great looking TV, the bezel is impressive and looks good. Television is the light weight and thin. Image was OK and with a little tweaking, it is absolutely incredible. watched a couple of basketball games and thrones and was blown away.

      This set has a good view and 52 inches is perfect! The TV is bright and it seems incredible that famous "flash-light" or "fog" so far. Very accurate colors and applications, for example. Netflix, they are great. The TV comes with integrated WiFi, it does not need wifi usb! The blacks are dark at an angle of LED and display viewing are very wide. This TV is hooked up to standard cable box (HDMI), DVD player (HDMI), Wii (component) 

      After updating the firmware via the internet cable faster, I tried all the online services and everything worked as advertised. I like the DLNA, which works fine with Windows Media Player and connects to my library on my PC. I was able to watch movies, listen to music or view photos. the sound is not bad for a TV, but of course you must connect to a surround system for better sound. I have not tested in 3D. will be updated as soon as I have a second test.

      In Sharps words "AquoMotion 240 Technology improves fast moving images by combining Sharp's 120Hz Fine Motion Enhanced Technology with 120-backlight scanning. Fine Motion Advanced processing creates and inserts 60 unique frames a second, which smoothes out edges that occur between frames in the original footage. The backlight scanning works with the panel refresh rate to further reduce perceived motion blur and improve overall clarity and picture quality."

      Summary: A clear and vibrant pictures seems that you are in the image. The colors are excellent and blacks are "blacks". I highly recommend this 3D TV.

      Sony KDL-32EX720 USB

      I was looking for a 32-inch TV for fit my cabinet. Most TVs of this size are very view and I was looking for high technological content. This model of Sony fine. The design of the TV is really nice to work with a glossy black bezel, without the band Sony sells gray at the bottom of the lower 32s. The screen is rather a dull appearance and is ideal for removing glare from nearby windows.

      I have a bad kind of Internet service providers, but apparently not to TV. The TV was connected to my home network quickly and easily. It was a software update and it does fast. There are a number of websites that you emerge from the menu, including Netfix, Hulu, YouTube, Dailymotion, Amazon, Flash animations, Qriosity (Sony-library), etc. Qriosity has hundreds of movies in 3D. They are not free price range between $3 - $6 depending on whether you use standard definition or high definition or 3D.

      This TV has a huge image and ratings. The color was good, almost without pretext, always good contrast, saturation and flesh. As another mentioned, the image on the dark side has been received. It was just by turning off the auto-dimming resolved. It would be nice if the auto-dimming can be set because it is really the backlight.

      The remote has no keyboard so a lot of scrolling around for is required for doing searches on You Tube, kind of a pain. I have not tried the 3D feature yet so cannot comment on this. The picture is beautiful out of the box and required very little adjustment by me to make it perfect. The speakers, like most LED TVs are really bad and a sound bar or external speakers are a must. The TV satisfied most of the requirements I had and at a price that was quite reasonable.

      I try to run a game for Playstation 2 on this TV, such as Guitar Hero, the PlayStation controller button pushes are not synchronized with the screen to control function, making it unplayable. I tried the manual on board and I found no reference to synchronize the game controller for the on-screen action. Pressing the TV button "scene" on the controller gives the "game", but apparently this does not set the screen colors, etc and do not synchronize with the Playstation controller. this combination can not work with a Playstation?

      Summary: I love this TV for its high image quality and overall performance. It works well in TV mode and a HDMI input, which is what I use 99% of the time. It syncs easily with my non-Sony audio receiver and Blu Ray player.
