Sony Bravia KDL 46NX800 |Get The BEST Price On Sony KDL 46NX800 +FREE Shipping
Once considered the top manufacturer in everything electronic, Sony is still a huge fish, but in a much, much larger pond. The company continues to produce high quality, industry-leading products, and its latest generation of HDTVs is no exception. At $2,799.99 (direct), the 46-inch Sony Bravia KDL-46NX800 LED-sidelit HDTV may seem pricey for a non-3D set—and its picture quality isn’t perfect—but a slick design and thoughtful features, such as built-in cord management and integrated Wi-Fi, might just help this set justify its price.
Measuring approximately 32 by 50 by 16 inches (HWD) with its glossy silver plastic pedestal attached, the front of the NX800’s 46-inch (diagonal) panel is very attractive thanks to its sleek all-glass design. Speaking of attractive, the back of the TV is even excellent-looking. A recessed panel on the rear left houses two HDMI ports, along with one Ethernet, composite video, component video, coax, and digital and RCA audio output ports. A standard two-prong power connector is located towards the center of the TV, but this port is also recessed—a dream if you want to wall-mount the TV.Both the A/V and power connector panels include matching plastic port covers, which also help to organize cable placement and provide a clean, seamless look. Two HDMI ports, along with VGA and USB ports, are on the left side of the TV. Honestly, this is the most intuitively and well-designed HDTV I’ve seen.
Like many current HDTV, the NX800 offers a variety of Internet-connected features, including video content and Yahoo Widgets. In addition to including an Ethernet port for Web connectivity, many of Sony’s 2010 HDTV models, including the Sony Bravia KDL 46NX800, include built-in 802.11n Wi-Fi functionality, so there’s no need to occupy the TV’s one USB port with a wireless dongle. Sony claims that many Japanese customers have Ethernet ports throughout the home, including at locations that would be suitable for a TV, which may clarify why this feature hadn’t been included with previous-generation TVs, but the inclusion of Wi-Fi is certainly welcome in American homes, which are seldom wired for Ethernet.
