The extreme edge is metallic-looking and very slightly set back from the main pane, and we love the low-profile swivel stand with its thin metal base.

One big reason, we're guessing, is because the Sony is so black to begin with, but regardless, it's a visible problem, especially in letterboxed movies.

Sony doesn't include 3D glasses with the XBR-HX929, which is surprising considering the TV's high price.

In my lifetime I have watched movies on B&W TV, then color TV, then VHS, then Laserdisc, then DVD, then Blu-ray, and now Blu-ray on this fantastic TV.

The Audio - While I have a surround sound system the built in speakers do a great job for regular TV viewing.
