The HX820’s picture processing is of a very high standard and makes high quality video like Full HD Blu-ray video look clean, extremely detailed and almost perfectly vibrant. Once you’ve adjusted the Sony BRAVIA HX820 to the room it’s in, it is well-suited to watching movies or any other video. Our Terminator: Salvation and The Dark Knight test Blu-ray discs looked cinematic and delivered rich blacks. Nonetheless the Sony BRAVIA HX820 is able to achieve very deep black levels, soundly beating the Samsung Series 8 plasma when it came to overall blacks. The BRAVIA KDL-46HX820 uses a dynamic LED back-light arranged around the TV’s edge, but it's not the Intelligent Peak LED of the HX925.

We hooked the BRAVIA KDL-46HX820 up to a Sony BDP-S380 Blu-ray player, a TiVo HD PVR, and a Apple MacBook Pro notebook to test picture quality from a range of input sources. All the other connectors you’d expect like HDMI, Ethernet and USB are built into the side and base of the HX820’s rear panel. If you’re wall-mounting the TV, the break-out box is another piece of cable you’ll need to hide. If you’re planning to use an older video input like component or composite with the Sony BRAVIA KDL-46HX820, note that the TV uses a break-out box to hold some of these connectors. Two pairs of 3D glasses are included with the Sony BRAVIA KDL-46HX820. Another feature that’s now integrated is the HX820’s 3D transmitter - in last year’s HX800 the 3D transmitter and glasses had to be purchased separately, driving up the cost for anyone who wanted to watch a couple of 3D movies. The Sony BRAVIA HX820 has inbuilt Wi-Fi, which meant we didn’t need to run an Ethernet cable to it to enable Internet features. It’s an annoying inclusion that limits the locations the HX820 can be placed in a house. It’s very reflective glass, which means you’ll need to make sure to position the TV where no direct light sources are hitting it - otherwise you’ll be distracted by reflections and will have to turn the screen brightness up to compensate.
The Sony BRAVIA KDL-46HX820 looks more attractive than last year’s model thanks to a seamless fascia, using a single sheet of glass along the front panel with no bulky bezel.
