Sony BRAVIA NX810 HD 3DTV Soon To Be Available Worldwide
When the gorgeous Sony BRAVIA NX Series edge-lit LED LCD TV was introduced earlier this year, it was presented as a HDTV with some really advanced features, but lacked 3D capability. Sony Europe and Sony USA are set to offer the BRAVIA NX810 series HD 3DTV to consumers this September. The series, available in 46″ (KDL-46NX810, $3,000), 55″ (KDL-55NX810, $3,700), and 60″ (KDL-60NX810, $4,700) inch screen sizes feature full HD (1080p) resolution with 2D and 3D capability. Your favorite show or movie will come alive with the 240Hz Motionflow PRO technology, enabling a clear picture when watching content that has fast-moving sequences.
Sony’s most advanced processing system for superior image detail, BRAVIA Engine 3, offers exceptionally vibrant, life-like images, reduced noise and optimized contrast and color. There is also dynamic edge-lit LED backlighting that features local dimming for crisp blacks and exceptional colors. However, some have found that direct LED backlit panels may look better. In fact, it is rather odd that this model is priced higher than the HX909 series, which does offer direct LED backlighting and what some consider a superior picture to the NX810.
Connectivity is pretty well rounded on the NX810 series with a plethora of HDMI inputs, as well as USB, Ethernet, built-in Wi-Fi, BRAVIA Internet Video & Widgets, and much more. Unfortunately, the 3D Sync Transmitter (TMR-BR100) and 3D Active Shutter glasses (TDG-BR100, TDG-BR50) are sold separately.
To complement the NX810, Sony Europe says “..an optional designer stand offers an even more elegant way to set your TV at the perfect 6° viewing angle. And with a 2.1 sound system mounted in the base, you’re guaranteed not just effortless style but enhanced sound quality too.”

Sony Europe also goes on to detail a NX710 HD 3DTV (identical in appearance and similar to the NX700) that will be available for a lesser price, smaller screen sizes and 120Hz MotionFlow Pro technology, but there is no word if this model will come to the USA.
