Sony Bravia KDL-55HX850 : Front

Edge-to-edge Gorilla glass topped off with a slice of silver trim around the edge gives the HX850 a sleek, streamlined look, as does the slim (1.4 inch) cabinet.

Sony Bravia KDL-55HX850 : Angle

The rectangular shiny black plastic stand is fairly dull looking compared to the stands used on the Samsung UN46ES6500F and LG 55LM9600 but it does a good job of supporting the 47-pound cabinet and lets you easily swivel the panel to the left and right.

Sony Bravia KDL-55HX850 : Rear Ports

Down-facing ports include a cable/antenna jack, an Ethernet port, an optical audio output, and two additional HDMI ports. These connections can be hard to get to if the TV is hung on a wall.

Sony Bravia KDL-55HX850 : Rear Ports

Two HDMI ports, a pair of USB ports, an RGB (PC) video input, and 3.5mm PC audio in and out jacks all face left for easy access.

Sony Bravia KDL-55HX850 : Remote

At 7.9 inches the remote is light and comfortable to hold. Due to the size of the wand the buttons are on the small side, and none of them are illuminated.
