Features
Everything looks better.
This is picture quality so lifelike it's like looking through a window. Each scene in everything
you watch—HD movies, sports, even YouTube™ clips and home movies—is presented with
unprecedented detail, and astonishing color as Sony's exclusive X-Reality™ PRO picture engine
draws on its database of real patterns, shapes and textures to display our most lifelike picture
ever.
Our clearest picture ever.
When you watch a kicko at the stadium, the ball doesn’t blur from le to right. Recreating
natural motion with reduced judder and less blur, Motionow™ XR 960 technology helps you
see each end-over-end rotation by taking motion clarity beyond refresh rates, which are only
measured in Hz, to quadruple the motion eect so you see everything as if you were there.
Tough, yet beautiful.
Only Sony has it.7 Corning’s exclusive Gorilla® Glass lets you enjoy an incredibly durable,
remarkably lightweight, frameless design with a seamless, sophisticated look. Paired with
the OptiContrast™ panel, Gorilla Glass helps boost contrast and brightness while minimizing
unwanted light reections.
Go way beyond cable.
Welcome to the endless entertainment of the Sony Entertainment Network, where thousands of
movies, TV shows, online videos, games and music are always at your ngertips. By connecting to
the Internet you can access Full HD 1080p entertainment, 3D content2 and made-for-TV apps like
Netix®, Pandora®, YouTube™, Facebook® and more.1
Natural 3D eects.
KDL-46HX850 46” (diag.) Sony LED HX850 Internet TV

Feel like you’re standing alongside your favorite actor as the environment envelops you with lush
3D detail.2 Ultra-realistic eects are achieved by X-Reality™ PRO 3D Super Resolution, optimizing
each area of the 3D scene by drawing on its database of patterns, shapes and textures.
The dierence is dynamic.
It's all about perfecting a natural look. Dynamic Edge LED backlighting with local dimming
delivers pitch-black night scenes and illuminates bright scenes that pop with vibrant color. Rather
than illuminating the entire screen, contrast is boosted in just the right areas for a more realistic
picture.
In-your-face action.
Brace yourself for pure 3D excitement that feels like you’re standing on the 50-yard line. Through
advanced Active 3D technology, immerse yourself in Full HD 1080p clarity and phenomenal
3D picture quality. Just slide on the comfortable 3D active glasses and enter a whole new
dimension.2
Goodbye wires, hello built-in Wi-Fi®.
Maximize your entertainment while reducing cable clutter. Wirelessly stream beautiful, HD
entertainment straight from the internet or your home network using built-in Wi-Fi® connectivity.1
All devices, together as one.
Don’t all of your personal photos and videos deserve the big screen? Experience your content on
a grand scale simply by connecting your compatible smartphone, computer or Sony Tablet™ S
via your existing Wi-Fi® network. Then you can easily “throw” your videos, photos and music les to
your HDTV.3
Life-sized video calls.
It’s like they’re in the room with you. Skype® video calls bring your family and friends closer than
ever as they appear as large as life on your big screen—for free.1 Just connect the easy-to-use
Skype camera (sold separately) for a face-to-face look at the caller on the beauty of your Sony
HDTV.
Control your TV with your phone.
Now there’s one less remote control on the coee table. Just download the free Media
Remote™ app and turn your iPhone®, Android™ phone or Sony Tablet™ S into a versatile remote
control with a full QWERTY keyboard4. It makes changing channels and typing searches ultra fast
and convenient.
Wi-Fi® without a router.
Sometimes your friends want to share their personal photos and videos on your beautiful HDTV.
With Sony’s Wi-Fi Direct Mode, your friends can throw personal content to your TV without
connecting to your home network. Wi-Fi Direct completely bypasses the Wi-Fi access point/
router, so it’s easy to set up.3
A sense for songs.
What’s that song in the TV show, movie or commercial you’re watching? Press ‘TrackID’ on your
remote and get the song name and artist instantly.5 You can also start the TrackID® service by
shaking a smartphone that’s running the Media Remote™ app.4 Very convenient.
Save power, save money.
Enjoy lower energy bills with reduced power consumption of up to 30% while maintaining
beautiful image quality with Eco Drive technology. It automatically reduces power consumption
while boosting color and detail on the screen and conserving energy used by the backlight.6
Handheld gaming goes big.
Play your PSP® system or other handheld gaming consoles (with SD output) on your HDTV with no
irritating black borders surrounding the picture. Just select Game Mode for an ideal t to your TV
screen according to the input. Better yet, Super Resolution Processing delivers a clear, crisp view
in HD size.
Onboard manual.
You will never lose your TV manual again. The iManual is available through the menu system on
the TV – always there if you need it.
