Employing 3D active shutter glasses, the Sony Bravia XBR55HX929 Local Dimming LED HDTV delivers a truly immersive viewing experience whether watching movies, videos, or playing interactive games. You will, of course, need a compatible source of 3D content like a 3D Blu-ray disc player or PlayStation 3.
The 3D active shutter glasses from Sony are designed to fit over prescription glasses. They can be adjusted to a perfect fit allowing you to wear them for hours without feeling any discomfort. To prevent glare from getting into your eyes through the sides of the glasses, side panels are incorporated into them. With batteries that can continually power the glasses for up 100 hours, you can watch 3D movies every night for over a month before your need to replace them.
Resolution is a full 1080p HD and this applies for both 2D and 3D programs, thus regardless of whether you are watching regular TV shows or 3D content, you only get clear and crisp images.
The screen is made of Corning Gorilla Glass, which means it is thin and lightweight yet it is tough and resistant to damage. Dubbed OptiContrast panel, the screen's surface is designed and treated to reduce reflection. This leads to deeper blacks even in brightly lit rooms.
Excellent contrast ratio is attained with a full-array local dimming technology. This consists of a set of LED lights that adjusts brightness in each section of the screen, providing more brilliance where the images are light and less where they are dark. The result is a more precise picture control.
Motion blur is virtually eliminated with Sony's Motionflow XR 960. This consists in the combination of a high frame-rate and full-array LED backlighting. Speeding planes and cars, or flying superheroes are never a blur.
Equipped with Intelligence Presence Sensor, the Bravia XBR55HX uses Face Detection technology to turn the TV off if nobody is watching. It also warns children if they get too close. And it adjusts picture and sound depending on where viewers are sitting in the room.
With Bravia Internet Video, you can always connect to the World Wide Web to download movies, videos, TV shows, or music from Qriocity, Netflix, Hulu Plus, or Pandora. It also has widgets allowing you to quickly connect to Facebook or Twitter. Its built-in Wi-Fi means you do not need wires to access the Internet.

Manufacturers continue to add new content to their offerings, keeping customers current through firmware updates, and making a bit of research a prudent step in your buying decision.

To help you get a great 3D experience, use the checklist below to ensure you have everything you need. 3D viewing requires: A DisplayFirst, you'll need a 3D-ready display--whether it's a 3D HDTV, 3D projector, or 3D computer monitor. These displays have more processing power than standard 2D models for displaying 3D images in rapid succession. A SourceYour display may be ready for 3D playback, but you'll still need a device to read 3D content. This can be a cable box with a subscription to a 3D channel, a 3D Blu-ray Disc player, or a PlayStation 3 system. 3D Content3D content--the actual entertainment, in other words--will be played back using the source mentioned above, whether it's a 3D broadcast from your cable provider, a 3D Blu-ray Disc, or a 3D video game. 3D GlassesFor now, the vast majority of 3D HDTVs require glasses for 3D viewing. Many use powered "active shutter" glasses, others polarized "passive" glasses. You'll need one pair per viewer, and they'll have to be compatible with your display, whether they're the same brand, or a pair of "universal" glasses designed to work across brands. HDMI CableTo connect your source (such as a 3D Blu-ray Disc player) to your display, you'll need a high-speed HDMI cable. Cables with this designation feature bandwidth speeds up to 10.2 Gbps (gigabits per second), for carrying the 3D signal without any loss of quality. If you want to get more information about 3D, shop our 3D products, watch videos, or interact with other customers, we invite you to visit 3D 101, our customer center about everything 3D.
