Sony 40NX713 or 40HX803

[MrT31]

Hi guys. Just wanting a bit of general advice on both of these TVs, the Sony kdl 40NX713 and 40HX803. Both can be had for very similar money at moment....approx £699 with trade-in. They both look equally as good in store and so trying to decide between them!!

The HX803 has motionflow 200, although only got 4 stars WHF review (inconsistent backlight on 3D images). They did however say was one of the best 2D LCD TVs they had reviewed. The NX713 has recently had a 5 star review and seems generally very well reviewed around internet. Is also bit thinner but only motionflow 100.

Wondering if anyone owns either and has an opinion?

Is the backlight an issue on the 803?

Thanks!!

I had the 713 at christmas, sent it back after a week.

Worst backlight bleed and clouding i have ever seen, had a KDL-40W2000 for 3.5 years and it still has a good picture.

Thanks Michael,

Is a very annoying time to buy a new TV!......most are now LED with backlight probs or you are paying extra for 3D that not everyone wants!! I returned a samsung 6000 range LED in Jan with horrendous backlight bleed/clouding which am keen to avoid on my next set. Think may have to go back to the drawing board. Possible plasma although was wanting max 40" screen so may struggle.
