The KDL55HX850 55" BRAVIA Internet TV from Sony is an ideal choice. Enjoy incredible depth and a sharp, full HD 1080p picture. Ultra-realistic effects are achieved by X-Reality PRO 3D super resolution, optimizing each area of the 3D scene by drawing on its database of patterns, shapes and textures.
This slim, stylish screen has an integrated NTSC / ATSC / QAM tuner, which receives digital terrestrial, analog cable, and unencrypted digital cable signals alike. With integrated BRAVIA Internet video, there's always something on. Using your home broadband Internet connection, you can access and instantly stream premium entertainment including movies, TV shows, videos and music. Plus take advantage of free high definition Skype-to-Skype video calls from the comfort of your living room.
Regardless of what you're watching or playing, Motionflow XR 960 technology enhances sharpness and delivers smooth motion for fast-action pictures. Sony's Motionflow XR 960 technology reduces blur caused by quick camera movements, enhances image sharpness, and overall creates a clearer picture. It sharpens image contrast giving an amazingly crisp picture you can see. The backlight system allows for a more environmentally friendly television than traditional CCFL-tube TVs.
The Sony KDL55HX850 is a great choice when you want big entertainment.
Everything Looks Better
This is picture quality so lifelike it's like looking through a window. Each scene in everything you watch-HD movies, sports, even YouTube clips and home movies-is presented with unprecedented detail, and astonishing color as Sony's exclusive X-Reality PRO picture engine draws on its database of real patterns, shapes and textures to display our most lifelike picture ever
Clearest Picture Ever
When you watch a kickoff at the stadium, the ball doesn't blur from left to right. Recreating natural motion with reduced judder and less blur, Motionflow XR 960 technology helps you see each end-over-end rotation by taking motion clarity beyond refresh rates, which are only measured in Hz, to quadruple the motion effect so you see everything as if you were there
Tough, Yet Beautiful
Corning's exclusive Gorilla Glass lets you enjoy an incredibly durable, remarkably lightweight, frameless design with a seamless, sophisticated look. Paired with the OptiContrast panel, Gorilla Glass helps boost contrast and brightness while minimizing unwanted light reflections
Go Way Beyond Cable
Welcome to the endless entertainment of the Sony Entertainment Network, where thousands of movies, TV shows, online videos, games and music are always at your fingertips. By connecting to the Internet you can access full HD 1080p entertainment, 3D content and made-for-TV apps like Netflix, Pandora, YouTube, Facebook and more
Natural 3D Effects
Feel like you're standing alongside your favorite actor as the environment envelops you with lush 3D detail. Ultra-realistic effects are achieved by X-Reality PRO 3D super resolution, optimizing each area of the 3D scene by drawing on its database of patterns, shapes and textures
The Difference is Dynamic
It's all about perfecting a natural look. Dynamic edge LED backlighting with local dimming delivers pitch-black night scenes and illuminates bright scenes that pop with vibrant color. Rather than illuminating the entire screen, contrast is boosted in just the right areas for a more realistic picture
In-Your-Face Action
Brace yourself for pure 3D excitement that feels like you're standing on the 50-yard line. Through advanced active 3D technology, immerse yourself in full HD 1080p clarity and phenomenal 3D picture quality. Just slide on the comfortable 3D active glasses and enter a whole new dimension

Life-Sized Video Calls

Wi-Fi without a Router
Sometimes your friends want to share their personal photos and videos on your beautiful HDTV. With Sony's Wi-Fi direct mode, your friends can throw personal content to your TV without connecting to your home network. Wi-Fi direct completely bypasses the Wi-Fi access point / router, so it's easy to set up

Enjoy lower energy bills with reduced power consumption of up to 30% while maintaining beautiful image quality with eco drive technology. It automatically reduces power consumption while boosting color and detail on the screen and conserving energy used by the backlight
Handheld Gaming Goes Big
