Sony Bravia KDL-52NX800 Review

The ultrasleek Sony Bravia KDL-NX800 looks like a featureless black slab when turned off, dominated by a single pane of glass that extends almost to the edge of the panel on all sides. A sliver of black metal edges the glass panel, and when seen from the side or top, the brushed black metal complements the subtle brushed silver of the low-profile stand. Behind the glass, the relatively thick border around the screen nearly matches the black of the turned-off screen, furthering the illusion that the TV is one piece. The logos and indicators are extremely subtle, at least until the word Sony lights up when the TV is turned on--the light can be turned off, furthering the display's integrated look.
