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...

Review of Sony KDL-40X3000

Bravia KDL-70X3500

Advantages: really big, looks nice, good picture
Disadvantages: the price tag

...to be honest what do you expect from something that costs this much and is made by a brand as big as sony, you expect it to be perfect, big and a work of art, well, it looks like a TV, big it is, but not the most stunning object you'll come across, although a nice looker for a TV. So thats one box ticked and another half ticked but is it really worth the money? Just to clear this up, i dont own this but a rich pillock (who these are aimed at) down the road from me does and boats about it enough for everyone to know and to be honest thats what your paying for. Yes, the picture is top of the range and the HD feature brings whatever your watching to life, providing you have a HD DVD player (or channels) but there are other TVs, including others in Sony's vast expanse of products, which will give you a similar experience for a much more...

Sony Bravia

Advantages: The picture quality is excellent
Disadvantages: The sound quality could be better

...The picture quality is absolutely superb, yet again sony has made an outstaning product. I have it connected to my ps3 and it does 1080p resolution which is crystal clear, although the sound quality could be better. But i solved this problem by simply connecting it to a surroundsound system and now its absolutely fine. If you're considering getting one then i advise you not to put it on a wall bracket because it is quite hard to connect other devices to the t.v as you cant see whats behind it.I would also advise you to buy a surround sound sstem, i personally know that bose make really high quality ones, although they are expensive they are absolutely worth it. This t.v is simply 40 inches of unblemished perfection. I would advise you to buy this t.v....

Sony Bravia KDL-40V4000 - great for Hi-Def users

Advantages: Speedy channel navigation + table-top stand swivels + clean standard-def input

Sony Bravia 20" - A great little HDTV

Advantages: Compact yet powerful, great screen, quality design, contrast, colours, sound,
Disadvantages: Weird stand, Silver not the best, only 1 HDMI

...Hi everyone, first review in a while, I don't get much time for a Ciao at the moment, GCSEs are beginning to get scarily close, but I thought I'd roll this one out for you on the monitor/HDTV that I've been using for a while. This Sony Bravia television is really nice. I thought I'd begin with that, and now move on. I'm using it right now; it is hooked up to our family computer via VGA cables, and works very nicely. It provides clear, crisp and punchy colours, with great brightness and contrast. I will now move on in more detail. Picture Quality What can I say, this is really the most important thing in my opinion with a television, because of course, it is what they were originally for, watching moving things that weren't in your home, and of course this TV holds up to that. We unfortunately do not have an HDTV...

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 32 inch Bravia TV review

Advantages: Good screen size, brilliant viewing quality.
Disadvantages: No ariel lead when you buy the product.

...I have bought this tv recently (in the last 3 weeks) and are very impressed. The picture quality is fantastic, and the standard definition almost seems like high definition. There is also hd sound, if you turn it on in the settings, and this improves the viewing quality amazing. The flat screen has made my room look almost double the size. I always have bought sony, and am very impresed as my last tv did not break in 7 years. This tv is an excellent replacment, and the inbuilt freeview tuner picks up all of the channels in my area without any signal boosters. The only problem with this tv is that it does not come with an ariel lead. Very well done sony!!!...

Review of Sony Bravia KDL-32M4000

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...

Sony Bravia 40" TV

Advantages: Large, reliable, excellent future compatibility, Bravia sync
Disadvantages: Poor cable/satellite picture, intrusive now and next bar, lack of optical sound

...This is the second HD TV I have purchased and the first Sony one. Overall this TV is a great purchase and at the time of my purchasing was excellent value for money. It cost me £699 in December 2007. It has good compatibility for current and future technologies with 2 HDMI ports. The picture quality from pure HD sources. including games consoles and Blu-ray players is immaculate as you would expect from a Sony product. The built in Freeview and Electronic Programme Guide are very easy to use and produce excellent picture quality when compared with Freeview set top boxes. Because this is a Sony TV with bravia sync when used with a compatible Sony home theatre the sound can be easily synced using a HDMI cable. This also allows the sound system control to be used for the tv and tv for the sound system (in a limited capacity) The main...
