Off or on, it looks good
Obviously, it's important that your TV have great picture quality. But chances are that your screen will spend most of its time in "off" mode. So it's also important for your television to look good on its own. Sony's KDL-55HX820 delivers on both counts. This LCD TV offers a picture quality not many sets can match. An X-Reality PRO combined with LED edge-lighting provide a vibrant, lifelike picture. Meanwhile MotionFlow XR 480 provides smooth performance, even during fast action shots. But it gets better. Not only will the KDL55HX820 play back the Full HD 1920 x 1080p video found on the latest Blu-ray discs, it will play Full HD 3D video. But it's not just the picture quality of this flatscreen that will turn heads either. The HX820 series also features a monolithic design. This slim, single pane of glass looks very chic even when nothing's on. It gets better, though. Built-in Wi-Fi connectivity allows you to access content from many of the world's top providers like Netflix, YouTube, Qriocity, Pandora, Hulu Plus, Crackle, and many more. It's even Skype ready with additional equipment!
