hi i'm ty pendlebury from cnet com and this is a review of the sony w 802 TV sony has a reputation for great televisions but in recent years it's picture quality in the mid range has been slipping in comparison to competition like Toshiba and Samsung the w80 2 is a mid to high range TV and is a replacement for last year's average hx750 the biggest improvement over last year's TV is the use of dynamic LED frame dimming styling has also received an update with a much thinner bezel and an interesting-looking quartz cut edge meanwhile the remote control is the tried and trusted candy bar with logically arranged buttons and a netflix shortcut also changed is the menu system which is now stacked vertically instead of the old horizontal cross media bar but some of the new animations do slow navigation down a little bit the new features for 2013 are passive 3d so you can now use cheaper glasses miracast streaming and at the time of the review a four year subscription to both netflix and hulu plus with the new frame dimming feature the TV sits in the middle of price comparable models for black levels and it is a big improvement on last year's hx750 colors aren't as good as the other tvs i tested with less saturation in both skin tones and greens and blues the more expensive sony w 900 is much better for color 3d is very good though with zero crosstalk but substantial interlacing or alternating black lines as you can expect from passive technology while it would still say get the six hundred dollar cheaper Panasonic st60 plasma this Sony is an improvement on last year's TV and an okay bye if you must have an LCD this has been ty pendlebury for senior you
