Sony KDL-40HX723 3D LED LCD TV Review

Avoid To: Operation • Calibration • Picture Performance • Conclusion

Design is a very subjective thing, as is evidenced by the fact that we personally found the design of the Sony HX723 more appealing than the HX923. The excuse? This cheaper LED TV includes a greyish, brushed steel finish below the LCD panel, which contrasts nicely with the atrocious plastic that surround the other three edges (and surrounded the entire screen on the aforementioned higher-up scale model). It’s also worth mentioning that the LCD panel is “bare” on the KDL40HX723, rather than being covered in the blanket of “Gorilla Glass”, as on the 923.

The KDL-40HX723 fits easily to the supplied tabletop subscribe to assembly, which is styled in black, with a brushed steel appearance.

Not surprisingly for a present-day HDTV, the Sony KDL40HX723′s notable inputs include 4 HDMIs, the mandatory analogue Component input, an input to which SCART devices can be connected to with a divulge-out adapter cable, a feed for its Freeview HD tuner (which also accepts cable feeds, if you white-hot in a country where your operator supports it), and a LAN input, which you’ll need to use in order to hook the TV up to the internet (unless you have a compatible USB Wireless whistles already).
