It just makes sense, and you can see a lot all at once, which makes moving from one section to another easy. Sony uses a scrolling horizontal bar at the bottom of the screen to let you roll through all the major sections, then expands the sub-sections along a vertically scrolling bar. The HX750’s user interface is one we like a great deal. The HX750 is a 3D TV, but you’ll get no glasses with your purchase. Just don’t try to stream copy-protected content – it won’t happen. It’s great for those on-the-fly sharing moments.

One of this TV’s more unique features is its Wi-Fi direct technology, which allows users to share pictures and videos from their mobile devices to the TV without having to log into a home’s wireless network. To get at all of that online content, Sony provides both a LAN port on the back of the TV and a built-in Wi-Fi adapter. You also get a portal to Sony’s entertainment network, which allows you to rent or purchase movies directly through Sony. As a Smart TV, these sets offer access to Internet apps such as Netflix, Hulu and Vudu as well as access to media stored on a local network. The HX750 is available in two screen sizes: 46 and 55 inch. In the box with the TV we found a remote control and some product literature. It just isn’t as handsome as we expect from the series. We don’t mean to suggest the HX750 isn’t a good-looking TV – it is. It’s glossy and functional, just not as classy. While the NX720 had a glass-plated stand, the HX750’s is plastic.
While the NX720 bore Sony’s beautiful “monolithic” design, which essentially buried the set’s bezel beneath a solid sheet of Gorilla Glass, the HX750 bears a more traditional look, with a slim, plastic bezel, no Gorilla Glass and a slightly recessed panel. With that in mind, we must admit we were disappointed to pull the HX750 from its box and discover that it isn’t nearly as sexy as the NX720. The way we see it, since it and the HX750 reviewed here are so similarly positioned, we can’t help but see the latter as a replacement of the former. Out of the boxįair warning: We’re going to flashback to our experience with Sony’s excellent NX720 several times over the course of this review. We put a KDL-46HX750 through its paces and share our impressions below. After all, in 2011, Sony’s similarly-positioned NX720 was a knockout (our top pick for an LED TV in 2011).īut while it is fair to assume that the second in command of the Sony TV army would be a solid decision (especially when on clearance) you might be surprised to find out that the HX750 doesn’t exactly follow in the footsteps of its ancestors. And, since Sony has just begun to ship some of its 2013 models, prices on this TV have been cut and will continue to drop precipitously over the coming weeks.Ĭonsidering the HX750’s position in Sony’s 2012 TV lineup (second from the top), and the savings that can now be had on it, we expect it will attract a lot of eyeballs in the coming months.

Though the Sony HX750 LED TV series was released almost one year ago today, you’ll still find it on store shelves.
