The good: The Sony KDL-EX523 series is relatively inexpensive for an LED-based LCD TV. It delivered decent black-level depth and very good video processing, including the ability to handle 1080p/24 sources. Its cinema preset provides decently accurate pictures out of the box. Sony's automatic turn-off feature saves power and its matte screen reduces glare in brighter rooms. The TV has solid Internet services, including built-in Wi-Fi, numerous niche videos, and exclusive Qriocity and Gracenote.
The bad: The Sony television exhibits murky shadow detail and blue tinge in dark areas. Uniformity is a problem with large gray splotches across black screens.
The bottom line: The Sony EX523 series produces a solid though workmanlike picture at a price that competes well against similarly featured LED TVs.
