LED-backlit
Rated 80% by by c|net (May, 2012)If you can't bear to buy a plasma like the amazing Panasonic ST50, you will pay more for the HX850 but I think you'd be quite happy with it.
55”
Rated 100% by by Meisterstuck-Rollerball-Pen (Dec, 2012)Picture is top quality even though we have 14 foot windows facing west and south which get late afternoon sun (part of reason for going with LCD and not plasma for this room).

HX850 by c|net (May, 2012)I performed a hands-on evaluation of the 55-inch KDL-55HX850, but this review also applies to the other screen size in the series.
7500 Series by Dio-A.-Delfino (Feb, 2013)I've previously had a Sony XBR3 (circa 2008), and I would say that the size of the Sony XBR and the other older TV versions makes the screen bigger.
