Here’s a list of the questions other shoppers have asked owners of the Sony Bravia KDL-46NX723

One review said that the iplayer was good but shame couldn't get ITV iplayer, why is this? Am thinking of buying this tv have a Panasonic 37" plasma at the moment.
Thanks Tim

Tim asked on 29 Dec 2011
1. You're right there is no ITV iPlayer at the moment - I've no idea why, maybe it'll just appear sometime when the software updates itself. The BBC iPlayer is great though, especially in HD.
  
  James replied on 29 Dec 2011
2. True, no idea why not. You could watch it through the web browser though. Just a bit awkward to manage without a keyboard, but we use an iPad or iPod for browsing using a remote control app. Don't let this put you off what is a great media TV. Brilliant for streaming your photo's, music and films from PC also.
  
  Martin replied on 30 Dec 2011
Can you play Youtube videos on this? Does it play all embeded videos in different websites ?

thanks.

Bhagwan asked on 30 Dec 2011
1. Youtube works fine. I'm not sure about embedded videos in websites as I don't use the web browser because it's hopeless trying to navigate using the remote.
  
  James replied on 05 Jan 2012
Does the tv come with the sound bar and a base. Also does the sound bar work same time as the tv

Bal asked on 05 Jan 2012
1. The TV was supplied with a base, but it's not necessary when the sound bar is used. I was given the sound bar for "free" when I bought the TV. It just plugs in via a supplied HDMI lead and separate power and works fine.
  
  James replied on 05 Jan 2012
Can the TV be wall mounted with the sound bar attached?

Lyn asked on 11 Jan 2012
1. I haven't attempted that configuration but I don't see how it would work as the TV only sits on the sound bar
  
  Michael replied on 12 Jan 2012
What type of 3D glasses do i need?

ibrahim asked on 14 Jan 2012
1. I use the Sony 3D glasses that were reccomended by the dealer.
  
  david replied on 16 Jan 2012
Hello, am wondering if a similar model acquired from the USA, Sony NSX-46GT1 to save some money, would just work? Since its Internet TV, would there be any issues getting it setup in the UK? Apart from the look that's a bit different, its largely similar technology. Opinions? Any export/import control issues ?

Isaac asked on 21 Jan 2012
1. The TV uses a different system in Europe so the TV signal would not work. The internet TV is only part of the TV option to watch iPlayer/youtube etc. you would still require Freeview/Virgin/Sky to watch TV.
  
  Michael replied on 23 Jan 2012
2. I dont think it would work as european system is different
  
  david replied on 25 Jan 2012
does 3d need to be at eye level or can it be wall mounted

brian asked on 27 Jan 2012
1. i dont know i dont plan on sticking it on the wall though it would look terrible on the wall
  
  lee replied on 20 Feb 2012
2. the screen needs to be at 90 deg to the line from eye to screen otherwise the 3d effect will be affected
  
  john replied on 21 Feb 2012
does this 3d tv support 2d to 3d convertion

Wayne asked on 12 Mar 2012
1. Yes but don't buy it ...the 3D is terrible. I took mine back.
  
  Rob
  
  rob replied on 12 Mar 2012
2. You can run simulated 3D from 2D tv and video it is well worth getting pt No 1-458-395-11 polarizer adapter filters for Sony for TDG-BR250 3D glasses it improves 3D a lot these are free if you have problems with cross talk work really well
  
  Nigel replied on 15 Mar 2012
I want to stick it on the wall. Can I do it?

Asif asked on 17 Mar 2012
1. Mine is on a shelf if you want to put it on the wall you will need to buy a bracket
  
  Linda replied on 18 Mar 2012
TELL ME THAT BY BUYING THE SONY BRAVIA KDL46NX723 THEY WILL GIVE A MONOLITHIC STAND TO US REALLY

UDAY asked on 05 Apr 2012
1. Yep mine came with that stand
  
  lee replied on 06 Apr 2012
2. Don't know, probably up to the retailer
  
  john replied on 06 Apr 2012
What adaptors do you have to purchase to run Sky etc. What is ethernet?

Carol asked on 11 Apr 2012
1. We have virgin and we just plugged the HDMI cable into the TV. Ethernet is the Internet connection cable this TV also has wireless capabilities
  
  Linda replied on 12 Apr 2012
does the KDL-46 NX723 an LED SCREEN.

martin asked on 11 Apr 2012
1. it has an LED back lit screen the best picture i have seen yet. hope this is helpful
  
  derek replied on 11 Apr 2012
2. Great picture. Great looking tv. Awful 3D .
  
  rob replied on 12 Apr 2012
3. It is back lit and has excellent picture well recommended great for Xbox and PS3
  
  Nigel replied on 12 Apr 2012
hi there , i want to buy this tv but i have question about 3d . i mean if i do not want to watch 3d can i switch over to led or normal tv ?. do i need to wear the 3d glass at all the time when i watch this tv?

rahman asked on 28 Apr 2012
1. 3D is rather the option rather than the norm. normal tv is prominent you have to tell it to go 3D unless it detects it itself which it does with ease. you wont regret the purchase. picture is outstanding on HD, 3D, BR
  
  Neil replied on 29 Apr 2012
2. No you can switch between normal hd viewing and 3d viewing whenever you like
  
  lee replied on 29 Apr 2012
3. No need to do anything, you can just watch TV normally
  
  Michael replied on 29 Apr 2012
4. Picture is amazing, but have never used 3D option.
  
  Barry replied on 29 Apr 2012
5. Picture quality is absolutely stunning. 3D is an option rather than normal. U need to seletec the 3D to view. I never used the option. Good luck!!
