If you’re looking to own one of the greatest televisions presently on the market, then you really don’t need to look any further than the Sony BRAVIA XBR55HX929 LED TV. Of course, Sony has a long and solid reputation for developing good products in the electronics industry; but with the Sony BRAVIA XBR55HX929 55-Inch 1080p 3D Local-Dimming LED HDTV with Built-In Wi-Fi, it’s fair to say that they’ve outdone themselves. The product has so many features that it’s hard to sum them up with brevity, but here’s an attempt (see full list of features here).

Let’s begin with the physical features of the Sony BRAVIA XBR55HX929 screen itself.

Sony's Intelligent Presence Sensor uses built-in Face Detection technology to turn itself off if no one is watching.

The Sony BRAVIA XBR55HX929features a 55-inch screen, with gorilla glass. When put together with another feature called the Opti-Contrast panel, this design serves to increase the contrast and brightness of the images and reduce extraneous light glare.

Further, the screen has a built-in light sensor, which optimizes energy usage by altering image brightness on the basis of how much light happens to be present in the room. Further, the screen can even tell when there’s a person watching it and when there’s not, because it comes equipped with (no joke) face detection technology. It’s able to tell whether you’re watching it, and it responds accordingly.

On top of all of this, the screen itself is rather attractive: You may find yourself looking at it even when the Sony BRAVIA XBR55HX929is turned off. Aside from its functions as a television, it also adds elegance to any room it graces.

Technically speaking, the Sony BRAVIA XBR55HX929 is state-of-the-art. By combining a technology known as the X-Reality Pro Engine with another technology known as Motionflow XR 960, this television delivers a level of viewing experience which is immediately noticeable as superior to virtually all competitors. These technologies conduct an in-depth analysis of the images you’re viewing, and they carefully calibrate the television to give you the best possible sensory experience.

Let’s turn to the home entertainment features of this television. The Sony BRAVIA XBR55HX929 comes with built-in Wi-Fi, so you won’t need to waste any time with setting up external adapters and whatnot. Whether your site of preference is Pandora, Netflix, or whatever else, you can instantly stream your media of choice to this television. There are even widgets which can let you keep up with social media such as Facebook and Twitter while you’re enjoying your media, so that you won’t need to make the difficult choice between one aspect of your life or the other.

Also, the Sony BRAVIA XBR55HX929is highly compatible with all forms of media. For one thing, this television can interface with all other devices in the BRAVIA line: This includes camcorders, digital cameras, and Blu-ray players. The Sony BRAVIA XBR55HX929also comes equipped with a USB port, so you can link up any music, video or photo device directly to the television and experience your media through the full capabilities of the Sony BRAVIA XBR55HX929. In short, this television has all sorts of potentials to be much more than just a simple television: it could be the centerpiece, or hub, of your entire home entertainment apparatus. At any rate, its massive cross-media compatibility seems to suggest that it was designed with this purpose in mind.
