Smart-Review Commentary: For 2013, Sony’s top of the line 65-Inch 4K XBR X850A Series is the best LED TV made by Sony. The X900A 4K series is identical to the X850A except that it has speakers on the sides. 4K TVs will give you 4 times more pixels than normal HD TVs. This allows you to sit much closer to the TV without seeing the individual pixels. By sitting closer, you will have an immersive movie theater experience. Sony has 10 years experience with 4K projectors, as most theaters today have a Sony projector installed. We previewed the X900A series at CES 2013, and the picture was outstanding. The X850A series is less expensive with the same features. This TV is also a 3D TV and includes 4 pairs of active shutter glasses. It has a Built-in WiFi adapter for wireless communication with your home network, , Triluminos Display, Motionflow® XR960, and Sony’s 4K X-Reality™ Pro Engine. You can access the Sony Entertainment Network which provides internet content such as Netflix®, YouTube™, Pandora, Facebook, Skype, and a browser. Netflix has announced 4K content will be available in 2014. The X850A series is one of the few TVs to have the Triluminous panel which is only available on Sony’s high end TVs. The Dynamic Edge LED backlighting provides local dimming for best contrast. These upgrades provide exceptional colors, higher contrast and unformity, as well as energy savings. As usual, Sony has produced a very striking and stylish set, along with a very strong feature set. This set is HDMI 2.0 ready, which will allow the highest framerates of 4K video. The XBR-65X850A is an exceptional TV and is a Smart-Review top pick for 2014 for 4K TVs.
