KDL-55 / 46 / 40 HX853 Owners Thread Part 6

Sorry for the repeat question, but does the HX853 have speakers built-in, just in case you decide not to use the soundbar type stand?

I had discounted it from consideration given it is now obsolete, but have found somewhere reputable still seemingly selling it brand new.

Yep. Two small ones in the TV casing.

Thanks mate.

The courier just rang me & my TV will be here in 5 mins. I'm so excited. Do I need a special HDMI cable to connect my Sky HD box or will the one I'm using from my old LCD do?

Fluffs

Just use any HDMI cable, a HDMI cable is a HDMI cable!

ian-d

Cheers thanks, the clown in Currys told me I'd need a special one when I was in there looking at TVs.

Fluffs

That's because they like a mislead as they think they can get away with charging £50  for a HDMI cable that will do no better job than a 99p one from ebay. They make their money on accessories from unsuspecting customers (sorry, victims)

Just to add that I'm in Ireland & bought my TV online form Hegarty's for €1,500 with a 5 year guarantee & free shipping. Currys are currently selling off their shop display models for €1,729.95. The stand in the one I looked at was damaged & they wouldn't offer any more off. Harvey Norman have some for €2K. Obviously the UK prices are better as always, but I'm very pleased with my deal.

Can anyone recommend wall mounts for the 55'' Model? Preferably one similar to what Samsung use and are like your ''hanging a picture on your wall'' if you know what i mean?

@withanee, go to digital tuner options and change it there back to standard epg.
I got Xperia Z phone, but don't know how to set up mirroring on my telly, anyone?
