Samsung, without a shadow of doubt, took the lead as far as the LED TV market is concerned. But Sony worked hard over the last one year, and we are sure about that because what we are witnessing here is a product that is just brilliant. Well, almost!
Look & Feel
Sony still hasn’t gotten the entire LED experience on track. Not as far as getting the slimness of the TV goes. The Bravia HX92 is 38mm thick, and we are only looking at the panel’s thickness and including the stand in the calculation. In contrast, the Samsung 7000 series LED is 30mm thick. Not that it really makes a huge difference, but clearly we know who has the bragging rights.

There are no ports on the side, since there is not enough width at all. But you will get 4 HDMI and 2 USB on the rear panel. The Bravia HX925 has a wide range of web functionality, and that is helped immensely along the way with the integrated Wi-Fi feature.
However, the real visual punch is at the front. When the TV is turned off, the display blends in very well with the bezel, and while it is not that, it almost looks like an edge-to-edge display. Switch it on, and the SONY logo under the display is illuminated in a pale white colour. Compare this with the looks of the Samsung 7000 Series LED, and it has a very slim bezel itself, which gives it an edge-to-edgeaura even when switched on.
The build quality is absolutely faultless, at first look. However, dig deeper and there are a lot of faults.For the cleanliness freaks amongst us, the headache will be the extremely glossy finish to the entire panel. It will gather a lot of dust, and even the slightest of scratches caused when wiping the dust off will be clearly visible. Secondly, a nudge, even by mistake, and the entire panel rocks backwards and forwards quite scarily, even though it is properly sitting on the table stand. We suggest wall mounting this if possible, since there is a huge risk of it getting nudged accidentally in a home environment.
We would also like to specify that what you get as standard with the TV is the basic table stand, just like any flat panel television. The eye catching Bunchin Stand with the built-in 2.1 channel speaker system will cost about Rs 14000 extra. And as far as basic stands go, the four-legged chrome stand that comes with the Samsung 7000 series LED looks different.
Price: 153000
