Introduction
The Sony Bravia KDL-46NX720 is a solid, yet overpriced TV set with 3D capability and decent picture quality. It won’t dazzle you, but it isn’t a bad pickup if you don’t mind paying the extra cash for the 3D and Sony brand name. Still, there are a few key areas in which it underperforms.
Editorial Note: This is a review of the Sony Bravia KDL-46NX720. Test results are for this model, but should indicate the general performance of other sizes in the KDL-xxNX720 series. The KDL-xxNX720 series includes the following models: KDL-46NX720, KDL-55NX720 and KDL-60NX720. Read here for more details on series differences.
