There's also an ambient light sensor to adjust the settings according to the current conditions, as well as a media player. Like the , the HX903 doesn't actually come with any 3D glasses, or a transmitter for that matter. Your money gets you a 3D-compatible TV with built-in 2D-to-3D conversion, but you'll need an extra 3D kit to make the most out of it. While we're on the subject of conversion from 2D to 3D, let's take a closer look at this feature. It's now available on just about every 3D TV, and allows you to watch ordinary shows, DVDs or normal Blu-ray discs in three dimensions by using a filter to convert the 2D pictures on the fly. It's as simple as pressing a single button on the remote, and, for the time being, is the only real way to enjoy a wide range of programmes 'in 3D'. Unfortunately, though, having seen Panasonic, Samsung and Sony all try to master this feature, we still haven't yet seen good quality 2D-to-3D conversion. Sony's version does give the impression of depth, but only on one level. The picture looks like it's further back behind the front of the screen, but that's hardly worth turning it on for ... The good news (and this is also true of 3D TVs in general) is that the quality of 'real' 3D sources, like Blu-ray 3D discs is excellent.
Sony has really upped the ante with its 2010 Bravia TV range. It's added many more features and introduced a radical new 'Monolithic' design.So the first thing we must do with the 52-inch KDL-52HX903 is put our detective hat on and try to nail precisely where it sits in the company's labyrinthine lineup.From the front, it looks like any number of new Sony models, with its sheer, one-layer fascia comprising a black, glass-topped bezel containing a subtly illuminated Sony logo in its bottom edge. It sticks out further round the back than Sony's new edge-LED models, though. And there's good reason for this, for it uses direct LED lighting, where the diodes sit right behind the screen rather than around its edge. So hopefully it will deliver on the established wisdom that says direct lighting delivers superior picture performance to edge lighting. Third dimensionThe other big news about the 52HX903 is that it is 3D capable, although you'll need to add an optional 3D kit containing a transmitter (£50) and as many active shutter glasses as you want (£99 each). If you want 3D capabilities built in, you'll have to buy Sony's edge-lit LX903 models instead.
