Connectivity & Media
Audio & Video Ports
A wide selection of A/V ports are offered on this display: 4 HDMI, 1 component video and 1 analog video. Audio isn't left out, either, with 2 analog audio inputs and a single digital audio input. The display can also be connected to a high-end audio system through the optical digital audio outputs.

Media & Other Connectivity
The XBR-60LX900 offers a wide range of media features, including a USB port on the side of the display body which allows you to plug in a USB thumb drive or other device. Support for the DLNA standard is also offered, which means that it can play back audio or video files stored on DLNA servers in the home, such as many computers and other media server devices over the built-in wireless connection.
Internet Widgets are also supported, and the display will come with widgets for Netflix, Amazon Video and many other providers that offer either Internet content or streaming audio and video. An 802.11n wireless connection is also built into the display, so it can access the internet through any wireless home router without requiring another cable.
Placement
The ports on the left side are located in a recessed bay along the length of the display body. These are set fairly far back, which means they would be a little difficult to reach by touch. To use them, you would need to lean around the side of the display.
Audio
A set of small downward pointing speakers are built into the display body, but we were unable to test these.
