Sony KDL-40X3000

Advantages: Accurate Colours, Deep Blacks, Great HD picture
Disadvantages: Below-par video processing, expensive

...This television, for me, offers essentially everything - but at a price. Aesthetics wise, it is excellent, the glass surround adding an extra element of design often missing in new televisions. There are plenty of connections available for use on the X3000/X3500, including HDMIx3 and Componentx3, and a USB slot. Generally, I feel the Television offers very good image quality via SD Freeview, Sky or Virgin Media. During fast action scenes such as sports, the video processing of the Bravia Engine Pro lets the set down a bit - occasionally pixelated areas appear. This can be improved by activating the 'MotionFlow 100Hz' feature available, but it cannot be truely eliminated. However, HD is, as is most sets, where the Sony shines. The picture quality on Blu-Ray discs and the PlayStation 3 is excellent, with little to no motion blurring...

The Lite-and-"Bright" PSP3000

Advantages: Better screen, built-in mic and the same great PSP experience
Disadvantages: Not much of an upgrade for existing (Slim&Lite) owners

...The PSP3000 is the successor to the not-so-long-ago released PSP Slim&Lite. And while everyone was not thrilled at the changes (there is not really much compared to the previous edition), as things stand now, this is the best version of the PSP yet. There?s a few new features: # The screen is a lot more vivid and gets shows the colors better (my roommate has the old one and I have the PSP3000 - you can plainly see the differences in color rendering) # The screen is based on a newer technology that has faster refresh rates and eliminates ghosting (which was a minor nuisance on the Slim&Lite) # There?s a built-in mic that allows you to chat on skype (also built-in!) and other messenger application without the need for an external microphone. The other advantage is that you don't need a proprietary PSP-headset anymore; just about any...

Review of Sony PSP 3000

Bravo Sony

Advantages: It is amazing, it sounds good, it looks good
Disadvantages: None

...New house, new furniture and a new television to boot, with all of this talk about the digital age I wanted to make sure that we had a decent enough television that was HD ready and a fairly decent size. My last television was a mere 28 inches and very old looking and bulky and I definitely did not want that in the new house, well maybe in the bedroom. So to my delight John came home with a lovely 40 inch Sony Bravia KDL-40D3000 to give it its full title and my god in comparison to my other television it is huge, it actually feels like it takes up half of the lounge. Anyway this super television has the following features: •Motionflow+100Hz for smooth motion •24p True Cinema for viewing in accurate cinema experience •Theatre Mode picture settings optimised by Sony Pictures Entertainment •Bravia Theatre...

Review of Sony KDL-40D3000

Sony...putting the E in Excellent!

Advantages: A superb visual and audio treat!
Disadvantages: Bravia Ex engine ! not pro...we want PRO!!!!!!

...The Sony KDL is a multi-functional full HD (high definition) television with audio loudspeakers. It's a brilliant product in today's cutting edge technology. Somehow the new LCDs seem to better their forerunners with improved technology, enhanced design (on already very sleek designs) and improved performance. FEATURES OF THE SONY KDL-46W3000 Enhanced colour reproduction functions - Firstly the colour reproduction features sport an x.v technological function which magnifies the range of colours by 2. This,in turn, allows the screen resolution to appear 'more natural' (as Sony claim) and detailed (a true delight to the eye) and its execution is sublime. In short the eye possesses colour characteristics which they are used to and Sony have created a technology that will allow the LCD's colour range to coincide...

Advantages: cheap, 1080p brillaint sound, AV mode design... everything really
Disadvantages: --

... LG LH3000 Intro I got this TV for my birthday for my room, it was £400 from argos which i thought was a bargin, and so it was. 1080p, 32", 80,000 to one sound contrast, 50hz, freeview, brillaint look and an energy saving button. i got this tv mainly to play on my ps3, i heard that 1080p and game consoles just made it so much more than a game, and it does, the size is the perfect the picture is wicked, but lets get into detail Design The LG3000 is glossy black just like a ps3 with invisible sound speakers. this makes the TV look as good as it can, sometimes if you put holes in a TV it either looks ugle or dust gets in it etc etc but this just gets ride of that problem and gets a better result (ill explane later) it comes with a stand easy to install and a plastic cover for when putting on a wall (cant see it just...

Sony NW-A3000 Black Hard Drive audio player

Advantages: Sounds amazing, looks cool, clear screen, easy to use, feels good, good weight
Disadvantages: No support for ogg, connect software is useless, slight hesitation on menus, no remote

...would like. This is most noticeable when trying to skip to the next track, the display shows the new song but you get about a seconds silence before it starts playing. Its not a biggy, but moving from an old sharp minidisc where this happened instantly I did notice it. Using Sony's ATRAC3plus file format sound quality is amazing, I cannot fault it. Mp3's still sound good, but arent a patch on Sony's own format, and take up more space. The supplies ear phones have a good clear sound, but to me lack bass, and I found them very uncomfortable to wear. They dont come with any covers, which means hard plastic into the ear and when I did put some of my own covers on, they were too big to fit in my ears. Using my own ear phones with the A3000 gave just as good sound quality, but with more welcome bass. Personally I would have liked to see ogg...

KDL-20S3000 Review

Advantages: Beautiful and Practical.
Disadvantages: Nothing worth fussing about.

...are a tiny bit blocky, and movement does blur a little: you might want to double check the information on Plasma, to confirm which one is right for you, both Plasma and LCD have flaws, so it is up to you to personally decide. On Which? sony has 65% rating. My parents kept going on about how beautiful the image was. The sound, it was clear and detailed, and a big sound for a little telly. The blacks are back. The whites are brilliant white. Infact, my parents old JVC... we compared the TVs. Theirs is one of the chunkies, not flat screen - their whites looked PINK next to the Sony. It is such a smart television. The controls are easy to use. One PROBLEM I had was that I couldn't get the Sony to pick up the HDMI connection. The KDL-20S3000's HDMI AV socket is AV 4. I spoke to Sony LCD line, and I spoke to Sony PS3. They...

Sony NW-A3000 MP3 20GB

Advantages: Very robust and well designed. Can access tracks easily
Disadvantages: Downloading music slow. Quality of music can be poor. Can come on if button knocked without you knowing in the case.

...Well I received this present from my wife this Christmas so am still playing with it at present. I have been looking for an MP3 player a while but the price of the large ones seems pointless (I had a little 256mb which was rubbish). My opinion of the I-Pods was poor and I was looking at Creative when I was given this. We have a lot of Sony products and I think the quality outways the cost. The walkman is very stylish and of good size to avoid getting damaged. I received a leather case for it and it seems good. I am not to happy about the headphones as they don't stay in my ears very well but will change them shortly. I went through the quick set up guide and loaded the software onto my Sony laptop. It does take a long time to download the software and the instructions do warn you about that. You also need a internet connection to...

KDL-40S3000 review

Advantages: Sharp and colourful picture
Disadvantages: doesn't support 1080p

...Sony has ensured the best technology possible has been included in the shape of the bravia Engine and Live colour Creation where more colours are created than other LCD TV's can display. A wide viewing angle of 178 degrees ensures that wherever you are sitting in the room you will get a good view of the screen with no loss of image quality. The HD Ready KDL-40S3000 model has a 40inch LCD screen with a resolution of 1366 x 768 for the 1080i and 720p formats. The frame of the screen is matt black with a glossy black part along the bottom where the speakers are. The Sony BRAVIA theatre sync technology has been included so that synchronisation of all of your home theatre devices can be operated with a single remote taking the inconvenience away from the viewer. The synchronisation is operated via HDMI connections the has three...

Review of Sony KDL 40S3000

  Enter the Sony!

Advantages: Packed with extras, looks good and feels good.
Disadvantages: See review for the very minor con`s.

...Sony are one of the newest companies to venture into the world of DSLR`s, having been producing some quite excellent point and shoot cameras for many years this is a move that most people in the photography world had expected to happen a long time ago and a lot had feared the day it did happen too. The reason many photographers feared Sony entering the DSLR market is simply that it would be hard not to get drawn into what they had to offer but they feared that Sony might find the market too challenging and bale out leaving many photographers with cameras that they could not upgrade and would struggle to find lenses and accessories for. When buying a point and shoot camera you are spending in the region of between 100 and 200 pounds for a top of the range model, whilst when purchasing a DSLR camera you could be looking at spending...
