Life hasn't been same after I have a new member in my household. To be precise it is none other than Sony KDL-46V3000 . I had a 32inch Flat TV from LG earlier and I thought it was a great invention . But after buying and experiencing Sony's latest product I feel its not an invention , its a Miracle !!!
I have always had a philosophy "The BIGGER , The BETTER " And for my large Living Room I always wanted a Big Screen which would even give me a feel of Home Theatre. But I believe I have got much more than that !!!
After a long research i settled between Sony and Samsung. The products looked stunning ! Finally at Comet Store I booked this Model @ whooping 1899 GBP !! It is my most expensive electronic purchase yet and I remember feeling rollercoasters inside my stomach while finalizing the deal !!! I could have gone for Samsung but Sony's Black non-mirrored frame and the non-reflective glass attracted me more.
My Living Room contains 3 windows and sometimes the natural light used to play evil when I switched on my Flat TV. But with Sony KDL there is no fuss with the glare. Infact the picture is so sharp and full of colours that I feel like viewing naturally through a window of a stadium balcony. Isnt that amazing ? Now I really dont feel like watching normal LCD TVs or Flat TVs.
FEATURES :
1. Integrated Digital Tuner 2. Bravia Engine Picture Enhancement 3. Near Accurate Colour Quality
4. Exterior Glossy BLACK BEZELS (2 In wide) for lower portion of the frame where a finely perforated grille hides the TV's unremovable stereo speakers.
5. Factory Attached non-swivel TABLE STAND which makes the TV's total weight to 71 pounds
6. Overall DIMENSIONS of 44.8 by 30.8 by 12.1 inches (WHD). The width of the base stand is 19.3 inches, and the cabinet depth (without the stand) is 4.9 inches.
7. Easy access to on DISPLAY CONTROLS placed at center of top edge.
8. Stylish REMOTE CONTROL with distinctly shaped buttons. This remote has a great performance even from odd angles and distances exceeding 15 Feet.
10. HD COMPATIBLE VIDEO INPUTS at the back. It includes 2 HDMI ports , 2 component Video Inputs, 1 RF Input, 1 VGA port for PC.
I am quite unhappy with just the 2 HDMI ports. I would have preferred more even if it was at the cost of other ports. 2 is not enough at all .
11. Native screen resolution of 1900 x 1080 Pixels progressively scanned which is very very good. The TV provides picture size settings that eliminate video overscan with 1080i and 1080p video signals. This ensures a clearer, more detailed image.
12. Menu System utilizes XrossMediaBar (XMB) interface that was introduced with the PlayStation 3.
The best part is the dark-colored screen material and antireflective properties which allow it to maintain a well-contrasted and saturated picture when viewed in a well-lit environment. Dark-room viewing is more suitable due to superior black levels than peak brightness. Though the TV's default power consumption was about average, the dark-room results were the best I've seen for an LCD of this size.
I am already in Love with this device. I wont call it just a TV , Its a member of my household who is not only beautiful but also speaks so well !!! I definitely recommend it to people who have this budget. And I am always there to give any specific feedback if you need.
I am now going to watch Rugby on my Sony KDL-46V3000 !!!!
