Sony KDL-46NX720 LED LCD 3D HDTV Review

Connectivity

The KDL-46NX720 has a decent number of ports on the back of the TV set, although some of the connections require an annoying adapter.

On the back of the set, you'll find all of the ports, even though they are split up between two oddly-facing panels on the casing. Facing downards are 2 HDMI ports, an ethernet port, and the component/composite hybrid port (which requires an adapter).

The side of the KDL-46NX720 is home to a different selection of input ports, including the 3.5mm analog audio in/output options, 2 HDMI ports, 2 USB ports and an S/PDIF output port.

Placement

We realize that the placement of ports was intended to work around the difficulties associated with mounting your screen to the wall instead of keeping it on a free-standing mount, but the placement of these ports is just awful. Not only is it near-impossible to see the ports you need should you be able to reach them, but because they're split up and placed much closer to the center of the unit in the back, you'll have an extremely difficult time managing your connections.
